Abstract:

The present study attempted to identify demographic and psychological variables predictive of adolescent suicidal ideations and attempts. Data from 90 adolescents, who completed an intake form at a university community mental health clinic or were student volunteers, were utilized. Two judges tabulated information regarding age, gender, number of siblings, ethnicity, parental marital status, drug use, depression, suicidal ideation, and previous suicidal attempts. A multiple regression analysis was performed to identify which variables had predictive significance. Depression was the best predictor of both suicidal ideations and attempts. Ethnicity was also predictive; white adolescents were found to be at higher risk for suicide than individuals from other ethnic groups. It is suggested that additional studies be done exploring other predictors of suicide among adolescents.

Abstract:

A review of the literature strongly suggests that poor family dynamics play a critical role in an adolescent's choice of suicide. This thesis examines the literature and research findings on adolescent suicide and family functioning. It will bring together recent findings to help professionals access the information on adolescent suicide as it relates to the family. The psychosocial and cognitive theories of development are explored to provide a framework for understanding adolescents and the reasons for the choices and problem solving they make in their quest for identity. Since social workers are increasingly implicated in the prevention of youth suicide, the thesis applies the argument to prevention from a social work perspective.

Abstract:

Suicide is a significant public health problem. It is among the top three chief causes of death for young people, ages 10-24 years (CDC, 2016). The majority of studies on suicide focus on what causes suicidal thoughts, suicidal attempts, and completed suicides (e.g., Dougherty, 2010; Shneidman, 1993; Van Orden et al., 2010). While these studies are crucial, it is also vital to understand why and how people survive and thrive. Focusing on adolescent suicide prevention through the lens of resiliency, the research questions are as follows: Why and how did suicidal adolescents decide against suicide?

Thirty-two participants (16 males and 16 females) from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, ages 21 to 50 years, completed an anonymous online self-report questionnaire. The data were analyzed, using Braun and Clarke's (2006) thematic analysis. The results of the analysis identified four areas in which suicidal adolescents find resiliency from suicidal thinking: social support and professional help, positive life event or circumstance, responsibility and or purpose, and religious and/or spiritual experience. Drawing from the linkages of the themes, the adolescent suicidal ideation theory was developed and explained.

The theoretical explanation, the first of its kind in regard to understanding why and how suicidal youths decide against suicide, is an important contribution in the fields of psychology and adolescent suicide prevention. It also serves to inform mental health professionals, educators, parents, adolescents, and children. Implications in the research highlight the buffering effects of personal connection (i.e., social and professional help), positive emotions, responsibility and purpose, and a religious and/or spiritual foundation in fostering suicidal ideation resilience. Suggested recommendations for policymakers include developing comprehensive training classes to promote healthy families and effective parenting; promoting age appropriate coping and problem-solving skills and resilience strategies to children and adolescents, starting a kindergarten through the twelfth grade (K-12), and six other recommendations are outlined in the discussion section of the paper. Further research could be conducted to strengthen the evidence-base of humanistic, existential, transpersonal, integrative, and trauma-informed therapies to help depressed and suicidal young people recover and acquire positive mental emotional health and wellness.

Abstract:

This research developed two best-fitting structural equation models of risk factors for adolescent depression and suicidality: a core model, which included parenting factors, gender, depression, and suicidality, and an extended model, which also encompassed personality traits (Introversion and Impulsivity) and mood factors (Anxiety and Anger). Further, this research investigated the consistency of model fit across time (Le., 1 month & 12 months) and samples, and explored the effectiveness of the ReachOut! Internet site as a psychoeducational prevention strategy for adolescent depression and suicidality. Gender, age, and location differences were also explored. Participants were 185 Year-9 students and 93 Year-10 students aged 14 - 16 years, from seven secondary schools in regional and rural Victoria. Students were given a survey which included the Parental Bonding Instrument (Parker, Tupling, & Brown, 1979), the Millon Adolescent Personality Inventory (Millon, Green, & Meagher, 1982), the Profile of Mood States Inventory (McNair & Lorr, 1964), items on suicidal behaviour including some questions from the Revised Adolescent Suicide Questionnaire (Pearce & Martin, 1994), and questions on loss and general demographics. Results supported an indirect model of risk factors, with family factors directly influencing personality factors, which in turn influenced mood factors, including depression, which then influenced suicidality. At the theoretical level, results supported Attachment Theory (Bowlby, 1969), demonstrating that perceived parenting styles that are warm and not overly controlling are more conducive to an adolescent's emotional well-being than are parenting styles that are cold and controlling. Further, results supported Millon's theory of personality (1981), demonstrating that parenting style influences a child's personality. Short-term intervention effects from the internet site were a decrease in Introversion for the full sample, and decreased Inhibition and Suicidality for a high-risk subgroup. Long-term age effects were decreased Inhibition and increased Anxiety for the fall sample. There was also a probable intervention effect for Depression for the high-risk subgroup. No location differences for the risk factors were found between regional and rural areas.

Abstract:

Adolescent suicide has become a national health crisis. Suicide now ranks as a leading cause of adolescent death in the U.S. In response to this, the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention (2001b) recommended the promotion and support of research into suicide and prevention, particularly high-risk groups such as adolescents. However, due to concerns for safety and liability, there have been few studies of highly suicidal individuals, specifically adolescents. Leading suicidologists have agreed that studying the qualities of the near-fatal suicide attempt can most resemble the completed suicide. This case study explored the phenomenon of the near-fatal suicide attempt through the lived experiences of seven adolescent females. Open-ended interviews that candidly expressed adolescent emotions and understanding of events surrounding the attempt were analyzed. Burnard's method of thematic content analysis of these provocative interviews revealed a collective adolescent voice. Interviews were conducted on a locked in-patient psychiatric unit for adolescents. During the one-year enrollment, nine eligible adolescents were hospitalized after an attempted suicide with high intentionality and low rescuability, a level of lethality that is considered serious/near-lethal on the Risk-Rescue Suicide Assessment Scale. Two individuals-both male-declined to participate. A model was developed based on the content analysis of interviews with seven adolescent females in the case study. The model of a path of an adolescent near-fatal suicide attempt illustrated estrangement and eventual alienation from the adolescent's two major social support groups: parents and peers. A lack of a self-identity to cope with stressful experiences in a more rational manner contributed to the pathway. Parenting issues were highlighted by the adolescent's perception of non-supportive communication. Peer issues contributed to the subjects' perception of a lack of social support through their rejection and ridicule of the subjects. Coupled with the impulsivity of youth and mental illness, these subjects were not able to withstand the perception of extreme stress. Resultant near-fatal suicide attempts were initiated with significant ambivalence and no prior communication of intent. Alienation and a lack of appropriate coping skills placed these adolescents at high risk of a near-fatal suicide attempt.

Abstract:

In South Africa, suicidal behaviour in the younger generations has become rapidly part of a major public health problem. It is a well-known fact that adolescence is a critical period of progression in a teenager’s development which makes them more susceptible and vulnerable to suicide. Statistics have shown that there has been an increase in suicide among adolescents within the last decade (Schlebusch, 2005). The main aim of this research study is to explore the perceptions of adolescents regarding the factors that contribute to adolescent suicide. This study reviews literature concerning various risks factors for adolescent suicidality. It also described major social and psychological theories of suicide and the extent to which these studies support the importance to adolescent suicide. In the literature review theories of Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory, Durkheim’s sociological theory of suicide, Freud’s psychological perspective and Baumeister’s Escape Theory were discussed. A qualitative research design will be used by using visual participatory methodology techniques namely photo voice and reflective writing. A sample of 12 grade 11 learners, male and female, was purposely selected to participate in the research study. The focus of the study is to investigate the risk factors underlying adolescent suicidal behaviour in schools in the Northern Areas of Port Elizabeth, as well as to explore the stressors experienced by adolescents that could contribute to them having a higher suicide risk. Another focus point will be to look at prevention strategies as an antipode for suicidal behaviour. The main findings that emerged from the data analysis include contributing factors namely: socio-economic factors, personal factors, psychological factors and educational and school-related factors. The main prevention strategy themes emerged from findings derived from the data and include: parental involvement, religion, professional help and support groups and confiding in someone that you trust.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: En av de vanligaste dödsorsakerna bland ungdomar i Sverige är suicid. Den ökade psykiska ohälsan är en vanlig bakomliggande orsak till suicidalitet bland unga. Vårdpersonal upplever ofta en osäkerhet i mötet med unga suicidalapatienter då de, i bemötandet, inte vet hur de ska gå tillväga. Kunskap om riskfaktorer, beteende och förutsägbarhet är viktiga faktorer för att i tid upptäcka ett suicidalt beteende. Syfte: Uppsatsen ska belysa hur vårdpersonal efter utbildning i suicidprevention kan förbättra omhändertagande och bemötande av suicidala ungdomar mellan 15 – 24 år. Metod: Studien är genomförd i form av en litteraturstudie där resultatet baseras på analysen av 10 vetenskapliga artiklar, både kvalitativa och kvantitativa, som noga granskades och bearbetades. Resultat: Resultatet visar att kunskapen om suicid är en viktig faktor för att underlätta vårdpersonalens möte med den unga suicidala patienten och ge en bättre omvårdnad. Det visade även på att attityden förändra på grund av att förståelsen för suicidbenägna patienter ökar. Flera suicidanal ungdomar fångas upp tidigt då förståelsen för riskbeteendet ökar. Slutsats: Studien visar att ökar kunskapen om suicid prevention och behandling av suicid hos vårdpersonalen så ökar förståelse och attityder mot suicidala ungdomar förbättras. Vårdpersonalen har ett större självförtroende i att vårda suicidala ungdomar när kunskap finns hos vårdare om vad som kan utlösa suicidbeteende samt vilka riskbeteende som finns, vilket ger patienter en bättre vård. Utbildning leder också till förbättrar omhändertagande och bemötande av suicidala ungdomar. Klinisk betydelse: Ökad kunskap om suicid genom utbildning i kombination med att vårda suicidala unga ger en större förståelse för komplexiteten att vårda suicidala ungdomar.
Background: One of the most common causes of death among young people in Sweden is suicide. Mental illness, which is increasing, is a common underlying cause of suicidality among young people. Nurses often experience uncertainty in how to respond to young suicidal patients. Knowledge about risk factors, behavior and predictability are important factors to detection of a suicidal behavior in time Aim: The aim is to highlight how health professionals after suicide prevention can improve the care and treatment of suicidal adolescents between 15 - 24 years. Method: This study was preformed through a qualitative approach by reviewing 10 peer-reviewed articles both qualitative and quantitative. Result: The results show that education aimed at health care professionals regarding suicide is important factor in improving treatment of the suicidal patient. It also showed that the attitude change among health professionals towards suicidal patients. Conclusion: It is of great importance that health care professionals trained in the subject to be able to respond to patients in a professional manner and actively work with prevention in health care. If the health care professionals can see the patient from a holistic approach, and constantly go back and reconsider their view if the patient and their needs it will lead to a more person centered care. Clinical significance: Increased knowledge about suicide through education in combination with caring for young suicidal patients will give a greater understanding of the complexity of caring for suicidal adolescents.

Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to examine the decisions made by school leaders in the aftermath of a student suicide in the context of the four frames of organizational leadership as described by Bolman and Deal (1989). The four frames were: structural, human resource, political, and symbolic. The researcher obtained an understanding of the leadership behaviors through the use of two qualitative research methods: interview and document analysis. This study utilized a case study of one middle school located in southern Arizona and a second case study of one high school from the same school district. Both schools experienced a student suicide one to two years prior to the data collection for this study. The case studies examined the leadership decisions and strategies implemented by the principal and others in relationship to the suicidal death of the student. Some of the implications for educators were staff training, crisis response handbook, printed guidelines discouraging student memorials, district crisis team, staff training, assessing the impact of the student death, unwillingness of suicide victims' parents to accept their son's death as a suicide, assisting the parents in planning the memorial service, and consistently implemented crisis response activities. The two schools provided very different looks at how school leaders responded and the myriad of decisions that were made in the aftermath of a student suicide. The four frames of organizational leadership provided a powerful lens from which to view those leadership decisions.

Abstract:

Adolescent suicide has been described as a major public health problem calling for the aid of researchers willing to better identify factors related to suicide risk. Suicide is the third-leading cause of death for 15 to 24 year olds. Despite the fact incarcerated adolescents act in self-destructive ways, minimal research has focused on suicide behavior among incarcerated adolescents. Existing data indicates that suicide among adolescent males is especially prevalent in the juvenile justice system. Several variables have been identified as risk factors for suicidal behavior, including interpersonal relationship dysfunction, substance abuse, and psychological variables such as depression and dichotomous thinking. Incarcerated males have been shown to be more prone to these risks than the general population. There is a need to highlight these risks in context of this population, identifying behavior patterns over the life span. Addressing the need to identify behavior patterns within the incarcerated male youth population, this study focuses on one adolescent male involved with Utah's juvenile justice system who subsequently completed suicide. The identified youth suffered from substance abuse; its effects were devastating to himself and those around him. Furthermore, his hypersensitivity to disappointing others permeated his lifelong traits and behavior patterns. Interviewees reported that such hypersensitivity began early in life, prominently influencing his subsequent self-inflicted guilt in adolescence when drug use, the decision to drop-out of school, and incarceration became traumatic. As this case study exemplified, counselors, teachers, school psychologists, family, and friends need to be aware of the increased potential for suicide in incarcerated adolescents, particularly those who struggle with substance abuse and a comorbid disorder.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Den psykiska ohälsan har sedan 1990-talet ökat i Sverige och är idag en av de vanligaste dödsorsakerna bland unga i åldrarna 15–29 år. Riskfaktorer som påverkar de ungas psykiska hälsa beskrivs liksom vikten av att sjuksköterskan har förståelse för hur inre och yttre faktorer ökar risken för långvarig sjukdom. Syfte: Att beskriva ungas upplevelser efter ett suicidförsök. Metod: En kvalitativ litteraturstudie som utgår från intervjustudier med unga. Databaser som använts är Cinahl och Medline. Resultat: Resultatet bygger på tio valda artiklar med fokus på ungas upplevelser av vården efter ett suicidförsök. Fem teman framträdde de beskriver ungas upplevelser dessa är: att önska bekräftelse på den inre smärtan, att vilja bli sedd som en individ och inte bli dömd, att vilja bli förstådd och att bli lyssnad till inger förtroende, att inte vilja bli sedd som ett objekt och att vilja leva och förverkliga drömmar med stöd och hjälp Slutsats: Genom att i ett tidigt skede kunna identifiera och se tecken på psykisk ohälsa kan sjuksköterskor ge de unga rätt stöd och hjälp för att undvika onödigt lidande. Genom förbyggande arbete kan fler unga undgå långa vårdtider vilket minskar risken att de hamnar i utanförskap och social isolering.
Background: Psychological ill health has increased in Sweden since the 1990s and is today one of the most common causes of death among young people aged 15–29. Risk factors affecting the mental health of young people are described as well as the importance of the nurse understanding how internal and external factors increase the risk of long-term illness. Purpose: To describe young people's experiences after a suicide attempt. Method: A qualitative literature study based on interviews with young people. Databases used are Cinahl and Medline. Result: The result is based on ten selected articles focusing on young people's experiences of care after a suicide attempt. Five themes emerged they describe the experiences of young people these are: wanting confirmation of inner pain, wanting to be seen as an individual and not being sentenced, wanting to be understood and being listened to trust, not wanting to be seen as an object and wanting to live and realize dreams with support and help Conclusion: By being able to identify and see signs of mental health at an early stage, nurses can provide young people with the right support and help to avoid unnecessary suffering. By preventive work, more young people can avoid long periods of care, which reduces the risk that they end up in exclusion and social isolation.

Abstract:

Best practices in adolescent suicide prevention include teachers as major participants, because teachers are in a unique and frontline position to support students. Unfortunately, many teachers are unaware of their role in suicide prevention efforts. In addition to confusion about their roles, teachers may feel uncomfortable and/or lack confidence in their abilities to identify warning signs and intervene with suicidal students. This study assessed secondary teachers' (N = 74) perceptions of their role in suicide prevention as well as how they perceive their comfort and confidence levels in identifying and intervening with suicidal students. In addition, this study explored possible reasons teachers might feel uncomfortable assisting in suicide prevention. While teachers overwhelmingly agreed that they should have a role in adolescent suicide prevention, teachers also reported having limited confidence in their ability to identify or help potentially suicidal youth. Teachers also acknowledged limited training, fear of making the situation worse, and fear of legal repercussions as potential barriers to participating in suicide prevention efforts. Consequently, teachers will benefit from more direct training which clearly identifies their roles and allows opportunities for teachers to role play.

Abstract:

This study is an analysis of adolescent risk behaviors contributing to an increased rate of suicidal ideation for 12 to 18 year olds. The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System Survey (YRBSS) is an epidemiologic survey designed to monitor the prevalence of risky behaviors of adolescents in middle and high school1. The YRBSS is a complex sample survey with a three-stage cluster design. Multiple logistic regression is used to analyze the data, including methods of analysis to address issues in complex survey design. Results of this study indicate several different risk factors that influence the rate of suicidal ideation among adolescents, including alcohol and drug use, sexual risky behaviors, unhealthy weight loss methods, depressed mood, sex and race/ethnicity. The conclusions of this study indicate that many risk factors associated with suicidal ideation are behaviors that could be addressed with early intervention strategies to reduce the risk of suicidal ideation.

Abstract:

Suicide, a public health problem on a global scale, has become the focus in many domains across the United States. With the recent push to provide solutions to the adolescent suicide rate in the U.S., the school setting has become an important venue for prevention and intervention efforts. While there are many risk and protective factors, the majority of suicide completions are concurrent with psychiatric disorders among adolescents; as such, this is an area that warrants further investigation. Additionally, school resources are often overwhelmed by the magnitude of need among the student population; therefore, effective interventions must be identified that can feasibly be implemented in the schools. Research has suggested that parent-adolescent relationships are key in the prevention of suicide, yet minimal research has been conducted towards promoting healthy parent-adolescent relationships for at-risk adolescents. Additionally, some research suggests that school and community interventions are only more effective than parental support when negative parent-adolescent relationships are present. This implies that fostering parental support should be a top priority in school-based suicide prevention efforts. This literature review identifies and summarizes pertinent scholarly research and resources for schools to better support parents of adolescents who struggle with suicidal thoughts and previous attempted suicides. As part of an intervention plan which increases home/school collaboration in adolescent suicide prevention, handouts were developed for parents (found in the appendix), which include information on warning signs of suicide, risk factors for suicide, and methods of responding to suicidality. After adapting these handouts to best meet their students' needs, school-based mental health professionals may consider including these handouts in their school's crisis plan and suicide prevention efforts.

A review of the history of family therapy identified the major contributions from general psychiatry, communications theory and cybernetics which had combined to form the therapies known collectively as systemic family therapy. The theory was outlined and examined and the major assumptions which are the basis for specific techniques of therapy within this model were identified. Six of these techniques were examined and demonstrated in therapy. The outcome of each technique was assessed. A family was seen from initial contact to termination, using a two member team approach (Viaro and Leonardi, 1983) in which-one therapist observed the other through a one way video arrangement. The presenting problem was a suicide attempt by an adolescent, culminating in admission to hospital. Therapy using the model was concluded in four sessions. Follow-up at six months disclosed no further admissions to hospital and a report from the family that they were satisfied with the outcome of therapy. Distinctions between first and second order cybernetic therapy were made and the therapists were found to adhere to a first order model. Successful and unsuccessful use of the techniques is identified and discussed. Using as a measure the absence of further suicide attempts and the family's self reported reduction in the number of arguments between the parents and the identified patient, it was concluded that the use of the nominated techniques from systemic family therapy had enabled successful intervention.

Abstract:

Cette recherche s’intéresse à la façon singulière dont l’adolescent ou le jeune adulte suicidant se représente ses liens familiaux et extra-familiaux. Elle explore la façon dont ces jeunes s’inscrivent dans leur histoire familiale, se repèrent dans leur généalogie, mais aussi la façon dont ils construisent, dans le monde qui les entoure, leur réseau d’appartenance. Comprenant l’accès aux transmissions familiales et la possibilité de tisser un réseau de lien extra-familiaux, comme un élément capital de la construction identitaire, ce travail envisage l’hypothèse selon laquelle l’acte suicidaire de l’adolescent traduirait une revendication de l’unicité et de l’authenticité de son existence. L’intention de se faire exister serait plus prégnante que l’intention de se donner la mort. De telles conduites, à valeur ordalique, témoigneraient d’un affrontement avec le monde, dont l’enjeu serait de vivre plus. Elles amèneraient l’adolescent à s’imposer, inconsciemment, de frôler la mort pour se transformer, renaître, revivre après le traumatisme, pour enfin exister. A l’aide d’entretiens cliniques et d’outils d’évaluation systémique comprenant la réalisation de génogrammes libres et imaginaires, seize études de cas ont été réalisées. Ces données ont permis d’effectuer une analyse qualitative individuelle et groupale et, plus particulièrement une exploration familiale tri-générationnelle. Sans confirmer la valeur ordalique de la conduite suicidaire, nos résultas suggèrent que les jeunes rencontrés tentent de se faire exister en cherchant une enveloppe généalogique mais aussi affiliative, contenante au sein de laquelle ils se sentent inscrits et reconnus. Le sentiment d'appartenance qui permet la différenciation et qui donne sens à l’existence fait défaut chez tous. Ces résultats ouvrent une piste de réflexion sur la signification du geste suicidaire à l’adolescence: il s’agit d’une quête de sens, mais aussi de reconnaissance, qui passe par l’épreuve personnelle et le fait d’y survivre.
