The problems of suicide risk of persons with disabilities are caused by their significant number not only in the Republic of Belarus, but also all over the world. Suicides and suicide attempts, not only take people's lives, but also affect the closest circle of the suicidal person, temporarily de-adapt relatives, friends, causing feelings of guilt, resentment or anger. We have considered disability as a specific crisis situation that requires resolution through various coping strategies.
The problem of the relationship between coping and suicide risk in people with disabilities remains poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to study coping strategies and suicide risk in people with disabilities, as well as to verify their relationship. We conducted a study in which 46 people with disabilities between the ages of 18 and 50 participated. As a result, we identified the most characteristic strategies, and also statistically significantly found a direct relationship between the escape-avoidance strategy and suicidal risk. The results of the study will be useful in studying this phenomenon and will help to provide more effective assistance to this category of the population.
