Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the meta-analysis of economic and social factors related to suicide. The research method in this study was meta-analysis. After reviewing the research on suicide, which was available on the websites of the Academic Jihad Scientific Database and the Nuremberg Specialized Journals Database, there were 25 articles and theses among the researches considering the research variables and the correct stages of the research implementation. They were selected at randomly. Chi-square test was used to analyze the data. The software used for the analysis in this study was comprehensively meta-analysis software (CMA2, STATA15). The results of the meta-analysis showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between social support, social capital (communication, support, trust, norms and obligations), employment and suicide. There is a positive relationship between family (maladaptation, family mistrust), mental health (hopelessness, depression and stress) and age. Suicide rates in women are also higher than men. As a final result in most studies, researchers have investigated suicide without resorting to direct methods of referring to the community and relying solely on second-order data. There is no standard set of methods or theories for the study of suicide; in other words, there is no scientific community of scholars who have repeated interactions with shared beliefs and values and have social interactions intertwined with epistemic interconnection and consensus. A variety of theories, topics, and methods of study are also found in studies. The results of investigating the studies, especially in the case of Ilam province show that the cases are relatively different in intensity for the situation in Ilam province and is not far from the country.
