AimSeveral nursing studies focus on suicidal persons; yet, a synthesis of such research is unavailable. The aim of this review was to give an inclusive understanding of responses of persons at risk for suicide that guides clinical nursing practice and research.DesignA reflexive and iterative study design was used in this study.MethodA qualitative content analysis and a systematic review of literature guided the six‐phase Critical Interpretive Synthesis . A sample consisting of 24 nursing studies published during 1994–2017 were included in this study.ResultsKey concepts found were “Disengaged while fraught with affliction”; “Readiness to engage in life”; and “Engaging through caring and confirming humanity.” Contextually, there are gaps in global nursing knowledge. Conceptually, three key concepts can guide the nursing practice and give an impetus for the research. Methodologically, the Critical Interpretive Synthesis served as a helpful way to summarize and synthesize a small sample size into an aggregate body of knowledge. An evidenced‐based understanding of responses of persons at risk for suicide can guide nurses to ensure safety, promote hopeful recovery, and foster resilience.

“…Hope can waver to and fro; it can be very temporary. It needs repeating over and over while grasping connectedness (Berglund et al, ; Cutcliffe, ). Hope diminishes alienation, affirms self‐worth, fosters safety, evokes a sense of engagement, opens up for dialogue, releasing affliction.…”

“…46 Gedetineerden die in een (aanhoudende) suïcidale crisis verkeren, zullen vroeg of laat een manier vinden om over te gaan tot suïcide indien gevoelens van wanhoop en hopeloosheid niet worden geadresseerd. In deze context tonen kwalitatieve studies 47 duidelijk aan dat suïcidale gedetineerden vooral de behoefte uiten om over hun problemen te praten, gehoord te worden en emotionele ondersteuning te krijgen.…”

InleidingWereldwijd vormt suïcide een belangrijke doodsoorzaak onder gedetineerden. 1 Het suïcidecijfer (uitgedrukt in het aantal suïcides per 100.000 personen) in detentie ligt drie tot acht keer hoger ten opzichte van de vrije samenleving. 2 De verklaring hiervoor is tweevoudig. 3 Als groep vormen gedetineerden, nog voor hun opsluiting, een kwetsbare populatie. Risicofactoren voor suïcide die gelden in de algemene samenleving (zoals lage socio-economische status, impulsiviteit, psychiatrische stoornissen, middelenmisbruik en voorgaand suïcidaal gedrag) zijn disproportioneel aanwezig bij deze personen, en worden binnen de muren van de gevangenis geïmporteerd wanneer zij worden opgesloten. 4 Daarenboven worden gedetineerden tijdens hun detentieperiode blootgesteld aan stressfactoren en ontberingen die eigen zijn aan de penitentiaire context. Voorbeelden hiervan zijn het verlies van vrijheid en autonomie, het wegvallen van steunfiguren, pesterijen, bedreigingen en geweld, overbevolking en het gebrek aan een zinvolle tijdsbesteding. Onderzoek toont aan dat deze voor detentie specifieke factoren het risico op suïcide tijdens de opsluiting aanzienlijk verhogen. 5 Recent empirisch onderzoek 6 bevestigt dat een dergelijk gecombineerd model -waarbij reeds kwetsbare personen worden blootgesteld aan een stressvolle context -een omvattende verklaring biedt voor het verhoogde suïciderisico bij gedetineerden, eerder dan énkel indivi-1

“…International evidence exists about the importance of hope to patient care across various settings for: patients with EDs (Wright, ); patients after an attempted suicide (Berglund, Astrom, & Lindgren, ; Vatne & Naden, ); mental health nurses who foster hope within a secure setting (Niebieszczanski, Dent, & McGowan, ); and employees of a mental health and substance use service who spoke about their own need for hope and active inspiration of hope (Saelor, Ness, Borg, & Biong, ).…”

Accessible summary What is known on the subject? Individuals with eating disorders (EDs) experience hopelessness, suicidal thoughts and behaviours at elevated rates compared to the general population. Current knowledge of recovery from EDs does not address nurse engendered hope. This study aimed to explore differences between patients’ and nurses’ perceptions of hope‐engendering nurse actions and the relationship actions have with patients’ perception of hope. What the paper adds to existing knowledge? This is the first study to explore differences between patients’ and nurses’ perceptions of hope‐engendering nurse actions in an inpatient ED facility and find significant differences; nurses’ scores were higher than patients’ scores. The study explored the relationship perceived self‐reported nurse hope‐engendering actions have with patients’ and nurses’ perception of hope. There were no significant relationships. This study provides additional evidence to support that there are common patient needs for nurse hope‐engendering practices such as caring and providing for patients; supporting and encouraging patients’ connection to others; facilitating patients’ adaptive belief systems; and helping to set goals and attain resources for patients. What are the implications for mental health nursing practice? Nurses who work with patients who have EDs should be prepared to work with patients who are feeling hopeless about their future. Thus, nursing continuing education should focus on strategies that enable nurses to deliver care that reduces hopelessness, improves connection, and inspires hope in those who are recovering from EDs. The results revealed that nurses perceived that they offered patients with EDs hope‐engendering actions more often and effectively than patients believed; this finding pinpoints a future direction for research that may improve care for patients. Patient feedback identified ways nurses may improve care to engender hope: providing an open caring environment, nurse presence, comfort/pain relief, and involving patients in their care. Actions by nurses aimed to enhance interpersonal connection and nurse presence could facilitate hope in patients with ED. Abstract IntroductionIndividuals with eating disorders (EDs) experience suicidal thoughts and behaviours at elevated rates compared to the general population. Hope‐engendering nursing actions may increase patients’ levels of hope for the future, improve coping self‐efficacy, and possibly reduce suicidality. Although nursing staff are integral ED treatment team members, little is known about nursing actions targeting hopefulness. AimExplore differences between patients’ and nurses’ perceptions of hope‐engendering nurse actions and the relationship actions have with patients’ perception of hope. MethodsDescriptive, cross‐sectional, comparative, correlational research design was used. Responses for 97 ED patients and 10 nurses were entered into analysis. Hope‐engendering nurse intervention and hope questionnaires were administered and ana...
