Background: Climate factors may offer a stronger explanation of the variations in suicide rates compared with economic variables, even in the case of patients admitted involuntarily. Aims: We assessed the role of temperature as a determinant of the increased prevalence of suicide attempts (SA). Method: The sample comprised all cases of hospitalization for SA at the Psychiatric Clinic of the IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino between August 2013 and July 2018. For ambient temperature, data were provided by the Meteorological Observatory of the University of Genoa. Results: We noted a peak in suicides that was typically found in late spring and early summer due to global warming. Limitations: Other environmental/psychological factors contributing to the onset of an acute clinical event were not considered. The cross-sectional design of the study is another limitation. Conclusion: Further studies are needed to clarify the impact of climatic factors on suicide behavior and implement early intervention and preventive strategies for mental health.

气候变暖中自杀未遂率的集体意识的必要性。

背景：与经济变量相比，气候因素可能对自杀率的变化提供更强有力的解释，即使是在患者非自愿入院的情况下。目的：我们评估了温度作为自杀未遂 (SA) 患病率增加的决定因素的作用。方法：样本包括 2013 年 8 月至 2018 年 7 月期间在 IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino 精神病科住院的所有 SA 病例。环境温度数据由热那亚大学气象台提供。结果：我们注意到，由于全球变暖，自杀高峰通常出现在春末夏初。局限性：未考虑导致急性临床事件发生的其他环境/心理因素。该研究的横断面设计是另一个限制。结论：需要进一步研究明确气候因素对自杀行为的影响，并实施心理健康的早期干预和预防策略。
