FINDINGS
The researcher created ten categories from the interview data and
used the Corbin and Strauss's (2007) paradigm to link the relationships
between the 10 categories. The five components of the paradigmare (1)
causal conditions, (2) contextual conditions, (3) intervening conditions,
(4) action/interactions, and (5) consequences. By linking the five
components of the paradigm, a substantive theory to direct the healing
and restorative process of people who have recently attempted suicide
was created. Each of the components within the paradigm interacts
with all other components. Therefore, the ‘contextual conditions’ and
‘intervening conditions’ affected the individuals' action/interactions
strategies by either nurturing healing conditions or impeding conditions
during the healing process. This paper concentrates on the
‘contextual conditions’ (the internal and external environment) and theme that he would never attempt suicide again. He has kept his
word for the past five years.
