Título Suicides of workers who had experienced occupational accidents
Información bibliográfica Aug. 1983, Vol.31, No.8, p.525-529. 16 ref.
Resumen Five cases of suicide of workers were investigated; the main cause of these suicides seems to have been the ailment subsequent to an occupational accident. Two of the cases were diagnosed as tuberculosis with pneumosilicosis, the others as spinal lesion, spondylolysis and neurinoma. The victims suffered from dyspnoea, pain and despair of rehabilitation. The chief psychic symptoms in the months before the suicides were insomnia, agony, irritation, taciturnity, loss of hope and idea of suicide. For the purpose of suicide prevention, the psychic mechanisms apparently at work in these 5 cases suggest a 4-step counselling programme.
