The third theme addressed the coping resources of these informants under the theme: Surviving the stress of attempt. The specific coping resources included personalized spiritual coping, social support, and avoidance. Conclusions: Family systems theory is used to explain some of the findings of this study, and the implication for clinical practice and designing postvention programs for families after a suicide attempt are addressed.]]> Thu 24 Mar 2022 11:31:03 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53368 Background: Irresponsible media reporting of suicide is a potential risk for copycat suicide. There is a paucity of studies from sub-Saharan Africa on the quality of media reporting of suicide. Objectives: We assessed the compliance of Ghanaian online media outlets with the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for media reporting of suicide. Methods: We searched 10 local media outlets with strong online presence in Ghana, to identify suicide-related news reports from 2000 through 2019. We applied summative content analysis and chi-square [Formula: see text] test to the data. Results: We included 288 news reports, of which 261 (90.6%) were completed suicides, 7 (2.4%) were attempted suicides and 20 (6.9%) were homicide suicides. Most of the news reports failed to comply with the WHO guidelines: 92.7% mentioned the specific method of the suicide act, 82.6% included ‘suicide’ in the headline and 55.6% included photos of the victims. The [Formula: see text] tests indicated that privately owned media outlets were more likely than publicly owned to post a photo of the victim, [Formula: see text] = 17.37, p < .001, and report the incident location in the headline, [Formula: see text] = 15.00, p < .001. However, generally, there were no statistically significant relationships between the quality of reporting and media outlet ownership. Each of the 288 reports failed to mention any of the potentially helpful features recommended by the WHO guidelines. Conclusion: Regardless of the ownership of the media outlet (whether private or publicly owned), mostly, the online reportage of suicidal behaviour in Ghana deviates sharply from the international recommended best practice by the WHO. ]]> Thu 23 Nov 2023 10:56:45 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51468 Thu 07 Sep 2023 10:45:12 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47893 Mon 06 Feb 2023 12:56:58 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46479 Marriage and family problems; poverty and financial difficulties; evasion of dishonour and punishment; health problems; loss; interpersonal difficulties; and previous attempted suicide were the reasons for the behaviour. The findings are discussed within the integrated motivational-volitional model of suicide in older persons. The findings support the recent clarion call for a shift of research focus onto the mental health of (older) men in Ghana, and underscore the need to intensify general public education on recognising the warning signs of suicide and the lines of action to take to save older persons from suicide deaths.]]> Fri 25 Nov 2022 15:56:11 AEDT ]]>
