Objective : To investigate attitudes towards suicide, including general knowledge, permissive attitude and misconception about suicide, among psychiatric residents in Korea 2012-2015.
Methods : An annually sequential self-report questionnaire composed of 30 questions including general knowledge, permissive attitude and misunderstanding about suicide and socio-demographic background was administered to 847 Korean 1st and 4th grade psychiatric residents 2012-2015. Chi-square test and analysis of variance were used to clarify differences relative to attitudes about suicide and socio-demographic characteristics. Paired t-test was conducted to clarify differences relative to attitudes about suicide before and after psychiatric resident training.
Results : According to year, significantly differences were presented in general knowledge and permissive attitudes about suicide. But there is no sequenced pattern. A group of 4th grade psychiatric residents had significantly better general knowledge and more permissive attitude about suicide than the 1st psychiatric residents group, except misconceptions about suicide.
Conclusion : Psychiatric residents have indirectly experienced suicide through patients that have attempted suicide or had suicidal ideation among training, influencing attitudes about suicide. Therefore, appropriate education about suicide and inspection of attitudes about suicide should be necessary in psychiatric training.
