“…It should also be noted that the sample lacks representation of incarcerated adults, who are disproportionately members of minoritized groups (i.e. Black and Latinx adults; Moreno et al, 2021 ). The NHIS also provides critical data on other immigrant groups (e.g.…”

This study investigates how mediating (e.g. history of health conditions) and moderating (e.g. self-rated health) factors are associated with nativity status on depression and anxiety in Mexican immigrants. Using data from the 2019 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), results found a significant direct association between nativity status and anxiety and depression. Additionally, the association between nativity status and mental health was mediated by the history of health conditions, and self-rated health was a significant moderator in both mediation models. Study findings are discussed within the context of barriers to care, current literature, and strengths-based interventions. Future research can expand upon these findings by examining the specific types of physical and mental health conditions that may support the Hispanic Paradox, as well as how self-efficacy and internal locus of control are associated with the paradox within this population.

“…This realization leads to an awareness of interconnectedness, that one’s life has meaning and purpose, and that a willingness to embrace emotional pain leads to growth and transformation (Corry et al, 2013). Spirituality is increasingly recognized as a significant aspect in the evaluation of mental health issues given that individuals turn to their private/internal spiritual coping (search for significance in times of adversity) through prayer or meditation to deal with emotional pain (Moreno et al, 2021). Spirituality is an important aspect in the development of adolescence as young people approach adulthood (Spurr et al, 2013).…”

“…Study findings indicate that spirituality is associated with lower levels of thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, and lower levels of suicidality (Gaskin-Wasson et al, 2018; Hirsch et al, 2014). Spirituality functions in part by making meaning of emotional pain (Moreno et al, 2021).…”

“…Young and Cashwell (2011) suggest that while a patient is struggling with emotional pain, nothing is of greater importance for patient growth than staying in touch with their emotional pain. The process of staying in touch with, rather than denying or pushing away, emotional pain can be viewed as a gateway for self-transformation and inner spiritual connection (Minton & Antonen, 2013; Moreno et al, 2021).…”

“…In 2019, 12 million Americans seriously thought about suicide, 3.5 million planned a suicide attempt, and 1.4 million attempted suicide (Center for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2021; WHO, 2019). Moreover, the unpredictability of the COVID-19 crisis in 2020 and personal isolation associated with the pandemic have had detrimental effects, including increased suicide risk (Maalouf et al, 2020; Moreno et al, 2021).…”

Background: Suicidality continues to be the second leading cause of adolescent death. Nurses are in a prime position to address the emotional pain associated with adolescent suicidality but report skepticism and discomfort. Moreover, spirituality is identified as a protective factor against suicidality, yet a gap exists related to exploring spirituality within the context of the emotional pain associated with adolescent suicidality. Building awareness of adolescents’ spirituality and emotional pain associated with suicidality is essential to address nurse skepticism and discomfort. Aims: The purpose of this study was to explore young adults’ experiences of suicide attempt(s) during adolescence in the context of spirituality using a case study application of participant narratives to Minton and Antonen’s B.L.E.S.S. acronym Method: A multiple-case study design was used to provide an alternative perspective for understanding adolescent suicidality from a spiritual context. Reed’s theory of self-transcendence and the B.L.E.S.S. acronym guided the analysis and interpretation. Convenience online sampling resulted in six adult participants who provided email narratives of their adolescent experiences. Email data collection was guided by Fritz and Vandermause. Analysis of participant narratives followed the protocol of Baxter and Jack. Results: Participant’s narratives revealed self-transcendence that paralleled the five truths about emotional pain and spirituality inherent in the B.L.E.S.S. acronym. Conclusion: This case study provides nurses a guide for counteracting the barriers of skepticism and stigma to promote help-seeking behavior associated with adolescent suicidality. Further research is needed for the application of the B.L.E.S.S. acronym with other population samples.
