Theoretical sampling was used because it helped to integrate the
concepts and to clarify the relationship between one concept and
another. Accordingly, each interview guide was modified before the
next interview in harmony with concepts that emerged during the
previous interview; for instance, when the patient participants
expressed that psychiatric consultants had helped cure them from
their depression and prevented suicide attempts, an additional four
psychiatric professionals were selected for interview to reach
saturation of the data. Moreover, when this study achieved data
saturation, the researcher added three more participants to confirm
that this study had really achieved saturation. That is, no new
concept was elicited in the three participants. The total number of
participants in this study was 20 participants including patients who
were healing from suicide attempts (n= 14) and their caregivers
(n= 6). The inclusion criteria for the patient sample included
having a diagnosis of depression and a suicide attempt that
happened more than 1 year ago. The inclusion criterion for the
caregiver was people who were suicidal individuals' family or curer
who helped them heal from their suicide attempts.
