Relatives’ experiences of providing care for individuals with suicidal behaviour conceptualized as a moral career: A meta-ethnographic study

The experiences and needs of supporting individuals of young people who self-harm: A systematic review and thematic synthesis

“…A meta-ethnography of relatives' experiences providing care for individuals with suicidal behaviour found that peer-support was important in easing relatives' distress: similarly, our review found that the support of those with lived-experience has a key role in helping individuals manage selfharm in young people specifically. 36 Finally, a review on the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions for informal support persons of people who self-harmed only found four interventions that included informal carers, and all were in young people. 37 This is important for the development of future interventions because we found parents, in particular, wanting to be involved and included in the young person's care.…”

Forced to move on: An interview study with survivors who have lost a relative to suicide

“…This contradiction highlights how important it is to understand and be aware of dynamic subjective factors such as “darkness,” and their implication for a specific individual, to understand how far external factors such as jobs and networks, often viewed as protective factors, truly serve as such for the individual. This highlights the need for healthcare personnel to have both an awareness of, interest in and understanding of implicit expressions to be able to give personalized care and do effective assessments of a suicidal progression (Hultsjö et al, 2018 ; Rytterström et al, 2020 ; Juel et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Every suicide is a tragedy with negative and long‐term effects on people connected to the deceased, estimated to number approximately 60 individuals per suicide (Feigelman et al, 2018 ; World Health Organization, 2021 ). Living closely with a person in a suicidal process is an all‐consuming and life‐changing process (Juel et al, 2021 ; Sellin et al, 2017 ), and becoming a survivor of suicide loss (survivor) is associated with a variety of negative health impacts as well as an increased risk of suicidality (Mogensen et al, 2016 ). The process of understanding why the suicide occurred is a challenging process for survivors (Dransart, 2017 ).…”

Caring for a Family Member with Psychosis or Bipolar Disorder Who Has Experienced Suicidal Behaviour: An Exploratory Qualitative Study of an Online Peer-Support Forum

“…As the forum did not specifically direct participants to discuss suicidal behaviour, the following data extraction process was applied to identify conversations relevant to the research aim. As per a recent systematic review of caregiving experiences and suicidal behaviour, we applied a definition of suicidal behaviour that included any reference to suicidal thoughts, feelings/urges, plans, and/or attempts, in addition to self-injurious behaviour regardless of intent [ 12 ]. While it is acknowledged that approaches to the definition of suicidal behaviour and self-injury vary, the exploratory nature of this qualitative study justified a broad approach to data inclusion.…”

“…People with psychosis or bipolar disorder are significantly more likely than the general population to experience suicidal behaviour, including making attempts on their own life [ 11 ]. This is likely to be particularly challenging for carers [ 12 ]. Suicidal behaviour is associated with increased caregiver distress amongst people with schizophrenia [ 13 ], first episode psychosis [ 14 ], and bipolar disorder [ 15 ].…”
