SUICIDE PREVENTION STRATEGIES IN KENYA
Suicide is the act of
deliberately killing oneself.
Suicide
attempt
is used to mean any non-fatal suicidal behaviour and refers to intentional
self-inflicted poisoning, injury or self-harm which may or may not have a fatal
intent or outcome.
It is important to acknowledge the
implications and complexities of including self-harm in the definition of
“Suicide attempt”. This means that non-fatal self-harm without suicidal intent
is included under this term, which is problematic due to the possible
variations in related interventions. However, suicide intent can be difficult
to assess as it may be surrounded by ambivalence or even concealment.
In addition, cases of deaths as a
result of self-harm without suicidal intent, or suicide attempts with initial
suicidal intent where a person no longer wishes to die but has become terminal,
may be included in data on suicide deaths. Distinguishing between the two is
difficult, so it is not possible to ascertain what proportions of cases are
attributable to self-harm with or without suicidal intent.
