The positioning of women nurses as ‘risky’ in United Kingdom suicide prevention policy documents
Current policy documents engage a language of risk which pathologises and responsibilises individuals and minoritised groups as causing high rates of suicide within communities and health workplaces. The impact of socio-economic, political and systemic contexts is overlooked as shaping the lives of suicidal people
Negotiating the postvention situation
Suicide is a leading cause of death. NHS workers, especially female nurses, have heightened vulnerability. Being impacted by a colleague's suicide can lead to increased suicidality. Postvention refers to support following a suicide. We investigated current, available postvention for NHS workers following a colleague's suicide and the experiences of staff who deliver it ("supporters"). Twenty-two supporters were interviewed, and data were analyzed…
Filling in the gaps
Health-workers are more likely to die by suicide than their counterparts in other occupational groups. The suicide of a staff member can be widely felt by colleagues, leading to complex emotional and cognitive responses. Exposure to suicide heightens the risk of dying by suicide. We investigated the impact of a colleague suicide on National Health Service (NHS) staff. Twenty-nine staff were interviewed; all participants were white British, and so…
A Method for Synthesizing Qualitative Data Sources in the Co-Production of Postvention Guidelines for the NHS
In this paper, we introduce a novel method for the synthesis of qualitative data and co-production in the development of evidence-based guidelines. The call for evidence-based practice in healthcare settings has been dominated by a focus on patient groups, overlooking the need for robust guidelines to inform the delivery of support or developmental interventions for staff members. We propose an eight-step method that brings together primary and s…
‘Imposter participants’ in online qualitative research, a new and increasing threat to data integrity
To the Editor, We would like to share the experiences we have recently had while conducting online qualitative studies. We believe people have contacted members of our research teams, offering to participate in interviews for a health study, who were not the people they initially purported to be. We reimburse participants to cover time and expenses for their involvement in research, with varying views on the complex issue of incentivization.1 We …
