It may be wrong to say that you are world-weary after a long illness! Domestic studies have found that the suicide rate of cancer patients is 2.5 times higher than that of the general population, especially the suicide mortality rate of 1 year is as high as 5.55 times, and that of the next year is as high as 3.43 times. Fortunately, since the establishment of health insurance, the suicide risk of cancer patients has decreased by more than 20% in the first two years, and the research results are published in the journal Psychooncology.
After the introduction of health insurance, the suicide mortality rate of cancer friends decreased.
The School of Public Health of Taiwan Province Provincial University used the national cancer registration archives database to study the reduction of suicide risk of cancer patients after the implementation of national health insurance. The research shows that after the launch of 1995 health insurance, the suicide risk of cancer patients decreased by 20% in the first two years after cancer diagnosis, among which the suicide risk of female cancer patients decreased by 30%, and the suicide risk of cancer patients under 45 years old decreased by 60%.
The suicide mortality rate after cancer 1 year is 5.55 times higher.
Liao Shicheng, director of the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine, Department of Psychiatry, National Taiwan University Hospital, said that according to research, cancer patients have the highest risk of suicide two years before cancer diagnosis, and the risk of suicide death in 1 year is as high as 5.55 times, and that in the second year is 3.43 times. The analysis may be related to emotional adjustment or economic pressure, and the introduction of health insurance has greatly reduced the suicide mortality rate.
Cancer treatment has three main parts.
Director Liu Shicheng emphasized that cancer treatment includes physical symptom relief, Emotional adjustment and psychological care, and called on medical staff to increase patients' confidence and inspire their spirit of fighting cancer. It is best to further assist patients to solve practical economic problems, reduce the pressure and burden of patients, and hopefully reduce suicide attempts.
