BACKGROUNDSuicide: The Chinese CultureMany countries in both eastern and western cultures considersuicide being morally wrong and as a weak or foolish behaviour (Sunet al., 2008; Tzeng et al., 2010). In Chinese culture, the term ‘bu-hsiao’refers to suicide, which means non-filial piety, because the basic‘hsiao’, or filial piety, means to protect the life and the body that yourparents donated to you. Thus, parents are extremely saddened whentheir children attempt to destroy, by way of suicide, the life and bodythey have bestowed on them. This belief, based on the philosophy ofConfucius, posits that ‘hsiao’ is influenced strongly in Taiwaneseculture and thinking (Sun et al., 2008; Tzeng et al., 2010). Manystudies have reported that suicide still carries a tremendous stigma(Dyregrov, 2011; Keyvanara & Haghshenas, 2010; Sun et al., 2008;Tzeng & Lipson, 2004). Moreover, individuals who attempt suicide aswell as their families feel tremendous shame and fear that theirfriends and society will reject them. Social stigma can be diminished ifpeople become willing to enter into dialogue about suicide, andperhaps a more open debate about the topic might help people feelmore comfortable seeking help (Dyregrov, 2011).
