“…85 Intermittent observation has been criticised, as some patients still successfully take their own lives in the intervals between checks; 86 however, to deduce that it should therefore not be used is a logical fallacy. Some patients who are prescribed antidepressants still take their own lives, but this is not an argument to cease such prescriptions.…”

HS&DR programmeThe Health Services and Delivery Research (HS&DR) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was established to fund a broad range of research. It combines the strengths and contributions of two previous NIHR research programmes: the Health Services Research (HSR) programme and the Service Delivery and Organisation (SDO) programme, which were merged in January 2012.The HS&DR programme aims to produce rigorous and relevant evidence on the quality, access and organisation of health services including costs and outcomes, as well as research on implementation. The programme will enhance the strategic focus on research that matters to the NHS and is keen to support ambitious evaluative research to improve health services.For more information about the HS&DR programme please visit the website: http://www.nets.nihr.ac.uk/programmes/hsdr This reportThe research reported in this issue of the journal was funded by the HS&DR programme or one of its preceding programmes as project number 11/1024/02.

“…Another intervention for preventing suicide is to make the care environment secure and reduce access to material that can be used as a tool for suicide (Bowers et al, 2005;Sun, Long, Boore, & Tsao, 2005). Although there is some evidence to suggest that special observation is effective in reducing the rates of attempted suicide, there has been very little research into the effectiveness of these containment strategies (Bowers, Dack, Gul, Thomas, & James, 2011;Bowers et al, 2008).…”

The aim of this study has been to synthesize research on suicidal patients' experiences of the suicide process. A literature search was performed in CINAHL, PubMed, and PsycINFO, and the analysis of the 15 articles covered was based on meta-synthesis. Patients experience a wide variety of feelings regarding their situation during the suicide process, and these exist on two levels: they relate to the different aspects of care that the patients receive and the patients' need to communicate with others and regain hope. The patients in this study described the struggle to maintain hope when life became too difficult and their suffering despite a sense of security, and they sought to achieve emotional balance. A good understanding of how suicidal individuals live with and manage suicidal ideation, while maintaining hope is important for planning effective nursing care. Further research from the patient perspective is needed to further develop psychiatric care for people at risk of suicide.

“…Einige Quellen geben an, dass kein spezielles Wissen notwendig ist für die Betreuung und Schulung zu psychologischen Interventionen wie Stresstoleranz oder Angst-und Aggressionsmanagement und Trainings nur selten angeboten werden [12,44,46]. In anderen Quellen wiederum wird aufgezeigt, dass Fertigkeiten notwendig sind wie mentale Wachheit, die Bereitschaft sich einzulassen, die Fähigkeit zu vertrauen, eine Neugierde sowie das Erkennen und Reagieren auf Zustandsverände-rungen [20,30,48,49]. Erkennbar wird Intensivbetreuung durch die Zuordnung von wechselnden Betreuungspersonen mit unterschiedlicher Qualifikation zu einer gefährdeten Person.…”
