Ji YD, Robertson FC, Patel NA, et al. - Researchers evaluated the risk factors for suicide among healthcare professionals (surgeons, nonsurgeon physicians, and dentists) vs non–healthcare professionals and if there are any differences in these factors between the groups. Reviewing the National Violent Death Reporting System, they obtained data linked to 170,030 individuals who died by suicide in the United States between January 1, 2003, and December 31, 2016, of whom 767 (0.5%) were healthcare professionals. Relative to individuals in the general population, healthcare professionals who died by suicide were more likely being treated for mental illness at the time, to have problems with their jobs, their physical health, civil legal issues, and be of Asian or Pacific Islander ancestry; they were less likely than the general population to have intimate partner problems, problems with alcohol use, or to be Black, female, or unmarried. On comparing surgeons and nonsurgeon physicians directly, surgeons were noted to be at a higher risk of suicide if they were older, male, married, or getting treatment for mental illness at the time. These observations may help improve in identifying burnout and developing suicide prevention interventions among healthcare professionals.
