Suicide is a global crisis that cannot be resolved. Trends show that suicide began mostly by adolescents and more than 51% were committed by age <45 years. Previous research found that individuals who have experienced suicide attempts have a negative and pessimistic view of life. The purpose of this study is to illustrate the meaning of individual experiences in deferring suicide. Five survivors (3 women) participated through snowball sampling. Data collection was done by phenomenological interviews and observations of participants. Data were analyzed using the descriptive phenomenological analysis to bring out the essence of suicidal experiences. This study derives 4 themes that can facilitate reducing suicidal ideation: connectedness, spirituality, hope, and shame. This study implies that suicide prevention can consider this finding as a protective factor for individuals at risk of suicide and build a support network for suicide survivors.Keywords: Suicide attempt; protective factors; phenomenology.

Failure to obtain mental health assistance from professional services can lead to wider treatment gaps and serious effects. People with mental health problems are encouraged to access mental health services for early assessment and intervention to promote their psychological well-being. This study was intended to evaluate the attitude towards professional help-seeking by considering demographic factors. This research was conducted through a quantitative approach using the ATSPPH-SF as the main instrument. A total of 590 respondents (male 150, x̅ age 24,16) participated voluntarily by filling out an online survey. The result found that the highest frequency of the respondents’ attitude was in the moderate category. This study also found that the attitude towards professional help-seeking was significantly different by gender (p<0,05), but there were no differences by ethnic group (Javanese, Minahasa, Sundanese), ages, and monthly expenses (p>0,05). This study shows that many Indonesians have not relied on professionals as the main source in solving mental health problems.
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the complexity of mental health issues and burdens. Psychological problems also arise as a domino effect of the massive crisis of the pandemic. Various studies and rapid assessments have been carried out and confirmed the alleged increase in psychological problems. However, identifying the psychological burdens that arise during the pandemic has not been explored qualitatively. For this reason, this study was conducted to identify the psychological burdens that arise during a pandemic to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic affects mental health. This study used an exploratory qualitative approachby collecting data through online open-ended questions. Seven hundred and four people (462 women; x̄ age of 27.06 years) participated by purposive technique. Thematic analysis was applied to identify and analyze patterns of meaning perceived as psychological burdens during the pandemic. The study found five themes: stress related to the pandemic, anxiety, depression, emotional instability, and loneliness. This research encourages efforts to anticipate increased mental health problems when dealing with a pandemic and provide access to psychological assistance for vulnerable groups.
