In this study, which was planned with a qualitative approach, the cases determined by the purposive sampling technique and their relatives were interviewed using semi-structured interview forms. 31 cases were reached, a total of 55 people, 21 of whom were suicide attempters, were interviewed. In the study, case reports were prepared in the light of the data obtained as a result of the questions directed to the individuals who committed suicide and their relatives. The data were categorized by the researcher and analyzed descriptively. In this way, the data were defined and the data that were linked between them were brought together with the support of the literature. When the data is evaluated, it is seen that the problems causing suicidal behavior in 29 cases have a long history, and the cases and their families have complex problems. During the interviews, it was determined that not all of the relevant persons had a history of contact with a social worker in any health institution. These people, who have a history of chronic disease, a history of addiction, anger control problems, chronic family problems and long-term financial difficulties; he did not contact social workers in health institutions even for psychological support and counseling. This situation shows that there are deficiencies in both the detection of cases, the quality of service and the access of services to people, as well as the number and competence of personnel.
