“…A similar process was identified in a study with women seeking help for suicidality in the context of intimate partner violence (Taylor, 2020). Women described hunting to feel human, 'fighting for a sense of belonging and personal value by perceiving validation from health care providers' (Taylor, 2020). The SRT supports this process; women seek connection in order to develop shame resilience, with connection allowing women to move away from sociocultural 'trappings' of the shame web to experience empathy (understood in Brown's theory as the experience opposite to shame) (Brown, 2006).…”

“…As complex multifactorial and social processes, it is important to understand shame and suicide in the contexts in which they manifest and evolve. The relationship between shame and suicide has been identified in nonperinatal contexts (Bryant & Garnham, 2015;Cover, 2012;Taylor, 2020) and is included as a relevant though not central concept in a recently published perinatal study (Reid et al, 2022). Shame however does not feature prominently in the widely adopted Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (IPTS) (Van Orden et al, 2010).…”

There is an urgent need to generate deeper understandings of how suicidality manifests and evolves during pregnancy and the following year. Several perinatal studies have examined the incidence of suicidal thoughts and behaviours and associated social and obstetric risk factors; however, there is very limited research offering insights into women’s experiences of suicidality at this time in their lives. This study aimed to generate a theory to explain how suicidality evolves in the perinatal period. A grounded theory design was used with data generated using anonymous online surveys (119 participants) and in-depth interviews (20 participants) with women who received pregnancy care in the past 5 years in Australia. The developed theory holds shame as a core concept. Origins and contexts of shame reflect current epidemiological understandings of risk for perinatal suicide, including experiences of gender-based violence, adverse childhood experiences, and a history of mental health difficulties. When women feel that they are defective, are unworthy of love and belonging, and do not possess what it takes to be a good mother, they can conclude that their family is better off without them. Pathways beyond shame were facilitated by compassionate and rehumanising care from family, friends, and care providers. Findings demonstrate that perinatal suicidality is a complex multidimensional phenomenon, influenced by socio-cultural expectations of motherhood and interpersonal, systemic, and intergenerational experiences of trauma. Increasing the prominence of perinatal suicide prevention within health professional education and practice, and addressing systemic barriers to compassionate health care are critical first steps to addressing perinatal suicide.

“…A search for scientific sources shows that photovoice is being used in relation to well-being and safety of patients with a variety of both physical health problems [128], e.g., diabetes [68,72], asthma [129], heart disease [130], and mental health problems, e.g., violation victims [131], war induced PTSS syndrome [132], mental illness or experiences [133].…”

The positive reception of Wang and Burris’ photovoice method, published in 1997, has led to a proliferation of ways in which professionals deploy photovoice in a widening range of application fields, e.g., public health, social development and phenomenological research of human experiences. A scoping review method is used to obtain an overview of current photovoice designs and of application examples in the health and safety domain. The results show a variety of method designs. Our findings indicate that all of the photovoice designs are composed from different combinations of eleven process steps. Five generic objectives cover the range of application examples found in our literature study. We therefore condensed the variety into five generic photovoice designs for: (a) communication, (b) education, (c) exploration, (d) awareness, and (e) empowerment purposes. We propose this for use in a classification system. The potential for application of these photovoice designs in safety management is illustrated by the existence of various safety related application examples. We argue that the five generic designs will facilitate the implementation and usage of photovoice as a tool. We recommend that both a theoretical framework and guidance are further developed. We conclude that photovoice holds potential for application in health and safety management.
