SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR, ADOLESCENTS MOTHERS
Abstract
Background: The World Health Organization has defined “adolescents” as persons in the 10 to 19-year age group. Suicidal behaviour is increasingly becoming a phenomenon associated with young people and an important public health issue. However, there are very few studies evaluating impact of young peoples' attitudes towards suicide and suicidal behaviour. Due to the high prevalence of this issue in our society, we took up this study to throw some light upon ways to increase awareness among the mothers regarding suicidal behaviour of adolescents.
Method: Survey research design was adopted. We systematically collected needed information through administration of demographic performa and modified questionnaire to mothers of adolescents. The data was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: From the study it was evident that majority of the sample, 89 (89%) were having very poor awareness, 9(9%) had poor awareness and remaining 2 (2%) had moderate awareness regarding suicidal behaviour of adolescents. The Chi- square value is less than table value 0.05 level of significance which reveals that there is a significant association between the awareness of mothers and number of children.
Conclusion: The following conclusion was drawn on the basis of the study:
Chi square value is less than table value 0.05 level off significance which reveals that there is a significant association between the awareness of mother and number of children.
