| dc.description.abstract | The suicide rate among veterinarians is twice that of any other medical profession and
four times that of the general population. The present study examines the main factors
contributing to suicidal ideation and the prevalence of suicidal tendencies among
veterinarians in Hungary, Finland, Sweden, Germany, and a small sample of veterinarians
in other Nordic countries (Norway, Denmark, and Estonia). The survey was carried out using
an online questionnaire and it examined how country, age, gender, number of hours worked
per week, job title and length of annual leave affects suicidal ideation among veterinarians. | en_US |
