Recovering From a Suicide Attempt: Chinese Research
With respect to the Taiwanese culture, a literature search
demonstrates that only two studies have focused on patients
recovering from suicide attempts. In the first, Ke (2008) used
interviews to explore the resilience of suicide survivors (n = 6) and
found that three major domains were required for recovery: (1)
external support and resources, (2) inner power and personal
strength, and (3) social and interpersonal skills. The external support
and resources domain includes six concepts: (1) a good role model, (2)
religious support, (3) positive family support, (4) healthy and
appropriate teaching strategies for children, (5) effective courses
and programmes that facilitate positive change, and (6) supportive
social networks.
In the second study, Chi (2011) adopted grounded theory (GT) to
understand the healing process of individuals who attempted suicide
(n = 14). Findings show that the healing process comprises five
stages: (1) self-awareness, (2) help-seeking, (3) repetitiveness, (4)
adjustment, and (5) acceptance. In the help-seeking stage, individuals
accessed help from medical professionals or community social
supports during the recovery process. However, the above two
studies offered only a broad outline of the process of peoples' healing
after their suicide attempt. They did not explore, in depth, the GT
context and intervening conditions of the healing process in Chinese
culture. Thus, the aim of this paper was to understand the internal and
external environments (the context) and the protective/resilient and
impeding circumstances (intervening conditions) affecting the action/
interactions of individuals when navigating the healing process
after their suicide attempt in Chinese culture.
