This study explores mental health personnel's experiences in the encounter with family members of patients at risk of suicide so as to develop a deeper understanding of the content of caring.
Data were collected using semi-structured interviews with 12 participants and were analysed and interpreted using a model inspired by the philosophical hermeneutics of Gadamer. The context was psychiatric wards.
Through a thematic analysis, four themes emerged: Acknowledgement as a premise for involving family members. Embracing with the family members' feelings and reactions. Strengthening hope in a situation entailing a serious risk of suicide. Providing reassurance to family members in transitional situations.
Witnessing the family members' suffering and needs is understood as arousing a sense of responsibility in the participants and triggering various care strategies such as listening, embracing, strengthening hope and providing reassurance.
本研究旨在探讨精神卫生专业人员在与有自杀风险的患者家属接触时的体验,以深入了解关怀的内容。
采用半结构式访谈收集数据,共 12 名参与者。分析和解释方法受伽达默尔哲学解释学的启发。研究背景为精神科病房。
通过主题分析,出现了四个主题:承认是让家属参与的前提。接纳家属的感受和反应。在自杀风险严重的情况下增强希望。在过渡时期给家属以安慰。
目睹家属的痛苦和需求被参与者理解为引起责任感,并触发各种关怀策略,如倾听、接纳、增强希望和提供安慰。
