Participation in suicide-related research is generally associated with more positive than negative outcomes. However, sparse research has examined the longevity of any effects of participation. Here, we report the first qualitative examination of both the immediate and long-term views of participating in suicide-related research interviews. Thematic analysis indicated that participants had positive experiences, including increased altruism and self-understanding. For some participants, these benefits remained in the months post-participation. Follow-up data revealed that participants can be susceptible to short-term dips in mood, which may not emerge until a few hours/days post-participation. However, any negative effects of participation were confined to the days immediately following the study. Participant-informed recommendations were developed to support researchers in optimizing the well-being of participants in suicide-related research.
参与与自杀相关的研究通常与积极的结果相关，而不是消极的结果。然而，很少有研究调查参与的任何效果的持久性。在这里，我们报告了对参与与自杀相关的研究访谈的即时和长期观点的首次定性研究。主题分析表明，参与者有积极的体验，包括增加的利他主义和自我理解。对一些参与者来说，这些好处在参与后的几个月内仍然存在。后续数据显示，参与者可能容易受到短期情绪低落的影响，这种情绪低落可能要在参与后的几个小时/几天才会出现。然而，参与的任何负面影响都局限于研究后的几天内。根据参与者的建议，制定了一些建议，以支持研究人员优化参与与自杀相关的研究的参与者的福祉。
