Childhood bullying involvement and later suicidality
BACKGROUND: Bullying involvement (victim or perpetrator role) in childhood is linked to later suicidality. However, findings are inconsistent, and sex may be a moderator. We investigated whether childhood bullying involvement was associated with suicidality in adolescence, and whether this association varied by sex. METHODS: Childhood bullying involvement was collected from self-reports of children and parents during the 11-year follow-up of the …
Sense of psychological ownership in co‐design processes
INTRODUCTION: Service users are increasingly participating in health research. Although collaborative research is assumed to give users a sense of psychological ownership, little is known about the specific psychosocial processes through which ownership develops and is displayed. The present study yields insight into a process in which service users, researchers and a website designer collaborated to design a website. AIM: The aim of this study w…
Re-constructing parental identity after parents face their offspring's suicidal behaviour
Offspring's suicidal behaviour disrupted parents' self-identity. Social interaction was fundamental if parents were to re-construct their disrupted parental identity. This study contributes with knowledge about the stages characterising the reconstructive process of parents' self-identity and sense of agency
The Spaces of Peer-Led Support Groups for Suicide Bereaved in Denmark and the Republic of Ireland
Research has shown that people bereaved by suicide have an increased risk of mental health problems, suicidality and associated stigma, as well as higher rates of sick leave and increased rates of receiving disability pensions. Peer-led suicide bereavement support groups are perceived to enhance people's recovery by enabling shared experiences with others who are bereaved in similar circumstances. The aim of the research was to explore the viewpo…
Suicide trends in the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic
Antidepressant Use and Suicide Rates in Adults Aged 75 and Above
Background: The treatment of depression is a main strategy for suicide prevention in older adults. We aimed to calculate suicide rates by antidepressant prescription patterns in persons aged ≥ 75 years. A further aim was to estimate the contribution of antidepressants to the change in suicide rates over time. Methods: Swedish residents aged ≥ 75 years ( N = 1,401,349) were followed between 2007 and 2014 in a national register-based retrospective …
Assessment of Suicide Risks During the First Week Immediately After Discharge From Psychiatric Inpatient Facility
Background: The suicide rate in first week after psychiatric discharge is alarmingly high. Although a risk assessment prior to discharge is standard praxis, it can be difficult to take into consideration the obstacles that patient will meet once discharged. A follow-up-visit during the first week after discharge is an opportunity to reevaluate whether a person may be at risk of suicide. Aim: To determine how many patients, of those who were asses…
Suicide risk and prevention during the Covid-19 pandemic
Suicide among persons who entered same-sex and opposite-sex marriage in Denmark and Sweden, 1989–2016
BACKGROUND: People belonging to sexual minority groups have higher levels of suicidality than heterosexuals. However, findings regarding suicide death are sparse. Using unique national data from two countries, we investigated whether individuals entering a same-sex marriage (SSM), a proxy group of sexual minority individuals, had higher suicide rates than those entering opposite-sex marriage (OSM). METHODS: A cohort study of all males and females…
Effects of suicide bereavement on mental health and suicide risk
Increased use of antidepressants and decreasing suicide rates
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present study was to examine if the change in the suicide rate is associated with individuals' use of antidepressants as has been suggested by ecological studies. DESIGN: Decomposition of suicide rates by antidepressant treatment group. SETTING: Population-based record linkage. PARTICIPANTS: All individuals aged 50 years and older living in Denmark between 1 January 1996 and 31 December 2000 (N = 2,100,808). MAIN O…
Differences in Suicide Between the Old and the Oldest Old
Distinct differences in suicide mortality between the old and the oldest old were found. The suicide trend of the oldest old does not reflect the recent improvements found in their overall mortality. Interestingly, it seems that the preventive effect of marriage seems to be ceasing with increasing age
