초록

번개탄을 이용한 자살은 홍콩, 대만에서는 흔한 자살 방법이며, 국내에서도 빠른 속도로 증가하고 있었다. 번개탄을 이용한 자살기도는 치명도가 높을 뿐 아니라, 일산화탄소 중독으로 인한 지연성 신경정신과적 증상을 나타내는 경우가 많다. 번개탄을 이용한 자살의 위험인자는 중년의 나이, 남성,이혼 혹은 미혼, 경제 활동 중이며 경제적 어려움을 겪는 인구 및 기저 정신과적, 신체적 질환의 부재 등이 있다. 일산화탄소 중독 자살 예방을 위해서는 번개탄에 대한 물리적 접근성을 제한하고, 언론의 자살방법 보도 지침이 엄격히 준수되도록 해야 하며, 번개탄 품질을 개선하여 그 독성을약화해야 한다. 그 외에도 포괄적 자살예방활동을 번개탄 자살에 초점을 맞추어 강화하여야 한다. 번개탄 자살에 대한 적절한 예방대책이 시행되어야 향후 국내 자살률을 낮출 수있을 것이다.

Abstract

Suicide by charcoal burning is common in Asian countries such as Hong Kong and Taiwan. Suicideby charcoal burning has recently shown a rapid increase in Korea, following a celebrity suicide,which was extensively reported by the media. Not only is suicide by charcoal burning fatal,but it also causes delayed neuropsychiatric symptoms through carbon monoxide poisoning. Riskfactors associated with charcoal-burning suicide include middle age, male, divorced or unmarried,and economically active but with financial difficulties. To prevent suicide by charcoal burning,limited access to charcoal, responsible media reporting as recommended by internationalguidelines, and detoxification of charcoal by modifying the raw material should all be considered. In addition, suicide prevention programs should increasingly focus on suicide by charcoal burning. Relevant measures to prevent suicide by charcoal burning will be essential in order to lowerthe overall suicide rate in Korea.
