Abstract

<p>This study determined the factors preventing subsequent suicide contemplation in people suffering from mood disorders a year after a failed suicide attempt. One-on-one semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 participants. Interview data were analyzed qualitatively.</p><p>The results revealed 18 factors that were classified into four major categories: support after suicide attempt, acquisition of new daily habits, new connections with society, and reluctance to re-contemplate suicide.</p><p>All participants had received professional support immediately after their respective suicide attempts, which had given them guidance as to how to achieve peace of mind, the hobbies and roles they could take up and how to live life without a sense of burden. While suicidal ideation had not completely disappeared, with the help of the people around them, participants learned to suppress these feelings by living in the moment and focusing on forming new connections with society. These results suggested that there is a need to provide continuous support focusing on living while accepting chances of relapse.</p>
