Epistaxis can be interpreted as bleeding in the nose. Based on the source of the bleeding, epistaxis can be categorized as anterior epistaxis and posterior epistaxis. Epistaxis represent as a common emergency that happens on everyday life. Epistaxis can occur in anyone, both children, adults and elderly. In most, cases, this condition occurs in children and usually doesn’t last long and stop spontaneously thus it doesn’t require medical intervention and hospital treatment. In 65% to 70% of cases of epistaxis, simple first aid measures performed by the primary care physician or emergency physician can stop the bleeding. So, it is essential to know the treatment of epistaxis.

Objective The purpose of the current study is to examine the relationship between the quality of the Patient-Doctor Relationship and suicidality among patients seeking mental health care; specifically, whether patients who perceive having a more positive relationship with primary care physician will have lower levels of suicidality. Method Cross-sectional population-based study in Greater Vancouver, Canada. One-hundred ninety-seven participants were recruited from three Mental Health Clinics who reported having a primary care physician. Participants completed a survey containing questions regarding items assessing quality of Patient-Doctor Relationship, general psychiatric distress (K10), borderline personality disorder, and suicidality (Suicidal Behaviours Questionnaire-Revised-SBQ-R). Zero-order correlations were computed to evaluate relationships between study variables. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to control for confounding variables. Results The quality of the patient doctor relationship was significantly negatively associated with suicidality. The association between the quality of the patient-doctor relationship and suicidality remained significant even after controlling for the effects of psychiatric symptom distress and borderline personality disorder features. Conclusions The degree to which patients’ perceive their primary care physician as understanding, reliable, and dedicated, is associated with a reduction in suicidal behaviors. Further research is needed to better explicate the mechanisms of this relationship over time.
