2025年に自傷や自殺未遂で救急搬送された人が4万3631人で増加傾向にあることが、一般社団法人「いのち支える自殺対策推進センター」の調査で分かった。「世界自殺予防デー」の10日、公表した。

センターは、総務省消防庁の救急搬送データを分析。自傷や自殺未遂といった自損行為(死亡に至った例も含む)を見ると、昨年は1日平均120人が搬送された。19年以降、増加傾向にある。

16~24年分のデータを調べると、30代までの若い世代で増加しており、特に19歳以下では同期間で2.6倍に増えた。女性の割合が高かった。

またセンターは、全国の救命救急センターの症例も調査。22年12月~25年12月で、自傷と自殺未遂は9168件確認された。女性が64.8%を占め、年代別で見ると20代が27.9%と最多。25年1月以降のケースで、動機は家庭問題が30.3%で、健康問題(27.0%)が続いた。

9168件を調べると、手段では薬の過剰摂取(オーバードーズ)が59.5%と最多で、年代が低くなるほど割合が高くなった。大半は処方薬を用いており、市販薬は28.5%だった。

小中高生は計750件で、内訳は小学生20件、中学生246件、高校生484件。女性が8割近くだった。オーバードーズが69.5%で、年齢が上がるに伴い割合は高くなった。25年以降の動機は、学校問題が約4割、家庭問題が約3割だった。

自殺対策推進センターは「自傷や自殺未遂の経験は、自殺に至る危険性を高める。対応は自殺対策の重要な柱だ」としている。

厚生労働省は悩みがある人に対し、「こころの健康相談統一ダイヤル」などの利用を呼び掛けている。番号は0570(064)556。

Regional differences in nursing care insurance premiums and high factors in Osaka City

Nursing care insurance premiums will be revised from April 2027, and will be reviewed every three years. Monthly insurance premiums for people aged 65 and over vary by municipality, with Osaka City having the highest rate at 9,249 yen, and Tokyo's Ogasawara Village having the lowest rate at 3,374 yen. The difference is 2.7 times. The heavy burden is said to be due to Osaka City's high nursing care certification rate of 28.6%, compared to the national average of 20.2%.
