Recovering From a Suicide Attempt: Chinese ResearchWith respect to the Taiwanese culture, a literature searchdemonstrates that only two studies have focused on patientsrecovering from suicide attempts. In the first, Ke (2008) usedinterviews to explore the resilience of suicide survivors (n = 6) andfound that three major domains were required for recovery: (1)external support and resources, (2) inner power and personalstrength, and (3) social and interpersonal skills. The external supportand resources domain includes six concepts: (1) a good role model, (2)religious support, (3) positive family support, (4) healthy andappropriate teaching strategies for children, (5) effective coursesand programmes that facilitate positive change, and (6) supportivesocial networks.In the second study, Chi (2011) adopted grounded theory (GT) tounderstand the healing process of individuals who attempted suicide(n = 14). Findings show that the healing process comprises fivestages: (1) self-awareness, (2) help-seeking, (3) repetitiveness, (4)adjustment, and (5) acceptance. In the help-seeking stage, individualsaccessed help from medical professionals or community socialsupports during the recovery process. However, the above twostudies offered only a broad outline of the process of peoples' healingafter their suicide attempt. They did not explore, in depth, the GTcontext and intervening conditions of the healing process in Chineseculture. Thus, the aim of this paper was to understand the internal andexternal environments (the context) and the protective/resilient andimpeding circumstances (intervening conditions) affecting the action/interactions of individuals when navigating the healing processafter their suicide attempt in Chinese culture.
