[Survey of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in outpatients at 50 general hospitals in Beijing].
Describe the prevalence and risk factors for suicidal ideation and suicide attempt among outpatients at general hospitals in Beijing. ⋯ Many patients treated at medical, surgical and other outpatient departments of general hospitals in Beijing are depressed and at risk for suicide; this is particularly true of young female patients who feel hopeless about their future. Outpatient clinicians need to be trained to identify such patients, to assess the severity of their psychological problems and, if necessary, to provide appropriate treatment or refer them for psychiatric evaluation.
