The World Health Organization (2013) reported that approximatelyone million people die from suicide every year and that theknown global mortality rate for suicide is 16 per 100,000 individuals.The suicide rate in many countries exceeds 16 per 100,000 individuals,for example: the Republic of Korea (31.0/100,000 in 2009);Japan (24.4/100,000 in 2009); France (16.3/100,000 in 2007) and inTaiwan (16.2/100,000 in 2012) (World Health Organization, 2013). InTaiwan, the suicide rate reached a peak of 19.3 per 100,000 in 2006(Department of Health, Executive Yuan, Taiwan, ROC, 2013). Hence,suicide prevention centres were created, and a suicide report formatwas established in 2006 for helping to reduce the high suicide rate inTaiwan (Suicide Prevention Centre, 2007). Official records in 2011showed that the suicide rate in Taiwan has decreased to 15.1 per100,000 (Department of Health, Executive Yuan, Taiwan, ROC, 2013).However, the report also shows that the number of suicide attemptshas gradually increased since 2006 (Lee, 2013). It is well documentedthat both culture and environment have an impact on peoples' healingfollowing a suicide attempt (Sun, Long, Huang, & Huang, 2008; Tzeng,Su, Chiang, Kuan, & Lee, 2010). It is paramount that health professionalsrecognize and take steps to improve both the internal andexternal environment that impacts on peoples' healing process aftertheir suicide attempt.
