Help-seeking prior to a suicide attempt is poorly understood. Participants were recruited from a previous research trial who reported a history of suicidal behaviours upon follow-up. Qualitative interviews were conducted with six adults to understand their lived experience of a suicide attempt and the issues affecting help-seeking prior to that attempt. Participants described being aware of personal and professional supports available; however, were ambivalent about accessing them for multiple reasons. This paper employs an ecological systems framework to better understand the complex and multi-layered interpersonal, societal and cultural challenges to help-seeking that people with suicidal ideation can experience.
自杀前寻求帮助的情况了解甚少。参与者是从之前的研究试验中招募的，他们在随访时报告了自杀行为史。对六名成年人进行了定性访谈，以了解他们自杀企图的生活经历以及影响他们在自杀企图之前寻求帮助的问题。参与者表示了解个人和专业支持的可用性；然而，由于多种原因，他们对利用这些支持持矛盾态度。本文采用生态系统框架更好地理解有自杀意念的人可能经历的复杂和多层次的人际、社会和文化方面寻求帮助的挑战。
