Abstract

Cilj: Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati postoje li razlike između skupine bolesnika koji boluju od depresije i bolesti ovisnosti te skupine koja uz depresiju i bolest ovisnosti ima i druge psihijatrijske komorbiditete. Materijali i metode: Retrospektivno je analizirana medicinska dokumentacija pacijenata oboljelih od depresije i bolesti ovisnosti koji su liječeni na Klinici za psihijatriju Kliničkog bolničkog centra Split od 1. siječnja 2018. do 1. siječnja 2020. Prikupljeni su podatci za: spol, dob, broj hospitalizacija, heterodestruktivnost, autodestruktivnost, dob pri prvom kontaktu sa psihijatrom, trajanje konzumacije psihofarmaka, socioekonomski status te somatske i psihijatrijske komorbiditete. Rezultati: Istraživanje je obuhvatilo 47 bolesnika. 17 ih boluje od depresije i bolesti ovisnosti i oni čine kontrolnu skupinu, a 30 uz navedeno dvoje ima i druge psihijatrijske komorbiditete i oni čine testnu skupinu. U obje skupine najviše ima ispitanika muškog spola srednje životne dobi. Dokazan je značajno veći broj pokušaja samoubojstva u bolesnika kontrolne skupine gdje ih je 64,71 % pokušalo izvršiti samoubojstvo nego u testnoj skupini gdje je njih 26,67 % pokušalo izvršiti samoubojstvo. Nije utvrđena statistički značajna razlika između skupina u broju pokušaja samoubojstva s obzirom na bračni status. Postoji razlika u broju pokušaja samoubojstva s obzirom na radni status između skupina. Najveći broj pokušaja samoubojstva je utvrđen u nezaposlenih osoba kontrolne skupine, dok je najmanji broj pokušaja samoubojstva utvrđen u zaposlenih osoba testne skupine. Nije utvrđena statistički značajna razlika u broju hospitalizacija između skupina s obzirom na postojanje somatskog komorbiditeta. Srednja vrijednost broja hospitalizacija u obje skupine je 3. Zaključci: U ovom radu smo ukazali na problematiku samoubojstva među ovom skupinom bolesnika i na rizične čimbenike kao što je nezaposlenost i samački život. Potrebni su daljnji napori medicinskog osoblja kako bi se što prije prepoznala depresija i zlouporaba sredstava ovisnosti. Pravovremenim prepoznavanjem i liječenjem mogu se izbjeći daljnje komplikacije i pogoršanje stanja bolesnika. Potrebna su daljnja istraživanja da bi se utvrdile dodatne razlike između navedenih skupina duševnih bolesnika.<br />Diploma thesis title: Depression and addiction diseases Objective: The aim of this study was to examine whether there are differences between the group of patients suffering from depression and addiction and the group that has other psychiatric comorbidities in addition to depression and addiction. Materials and methods: We retrospectively analyzed medical records of patients suffering from depression and addiction treated at the Department of Psychiatry, University Hospital of Split from January 1ˢᵗ 2018 to January 1ˢᵗ 2020. Data were collected for: gender, age, number of hospitalizations, heterodestructiveness, self-destructiveness, age at first contact with psychiatrist, duration of drug consumption, socioeconomic status as well as somatic and psychiatric comorbidities. Results: The study included 47 patients. 17 of them suffer from depression and addiction and they form a control group, and 30 in addition to the above two have other psychiatric comorbidities and they form a test group. In both groups, the majority of respondents are middle-aged males. A significantly higher number of suicide attempts was proven in patients of the control group where 64.71 % tried to commit suicide than in the test group where 26.67 % of them tried to commit suicide. No statistically significant difference was found between the groups in the number of suicide attempts in relation to marital status. There is a difference in the number of suicide attempts in relation to the working status between the groups. The highest number of suicide attempts was found in the unemployed patients of the control group, while the lowest number of suicide attempts was found in the employed patients of the test group. There was no statistically significant difference in the number of hospitalizations between groups in relation to the existence of somatic comorbidity. The mean number of hospitalizations in both groups was 3. Conclusions: In this paper, we have pointed out the problem of suicide among this group of patients and the risk factors such as unemployment and single life. Further efforts by medical staff are needed to identify depression and substance abuse as soon as possible. Early recognition and treatment can avoid further complications and worsening of the patient's condition. Further research is needed to determine additional differences between these groups of mental patients.
