Abstract

The goal of this study is to compare early parental death, ADHD, and precarious employment in adults with and without history of suicide attempt. The method used in this study was causal-comparative. The subjects included 60 adults who were at least 18 years old (30 adults with the history of suicide attempt, and 30 adults without the history of suicide attempt). These subjects were selected by convenience sampling method from hospitals of Ardabil and Gilan and measured by using Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) and demographic questionnaire. Data were analyzed by univariate variance test, multivariate variance test, and Chi-square test. The results showed that there is a significant difference in the symptoms of ADHD between adults with and without history of suicide attempt. Moreover the rate of attention deficit in adults with history of suicide attempt is more than adults without suicide attempt. The results showed that adults’ jobs with history of suicide attempt is more precarious than those adults’ jobs who are normal and there is a significant relation between suicide attempt and employment status. It can be concluded that the history of ADHD and stabilization of job status can be effective in preventing suicide
