| Abstract [eng] |
A risk of further suicidal behavior is greater for those who have attempted suicide, but there is a lack of empirical data on the effectiveness of specific psychological interventions. This article aims to reveal problems in the effectiveness research of short-term psychological attempted suicide intervention and the ways of resolving them. Methodology. Research Review. Results. Three groups of research problems are distinguished: 1) methodological problems – research strategies are extremely heterogeneous (different samples of respondents, intervention durations vary from 4 weeks to 24 months after suicide attempt), so validity is an issue. Participants are rarely asked about their satisfaction with the aid received; 2) population inappropriateness – studies are conducted mainly in countries with a low suicide rate, having a developed system of aid; 3) contradictory results – the effectiveness of interventions applied in comparable conditions and methods in different studies vary, sometimes reasons for these differences remain unclear. Conclusions. It is important to strengthen the research methodology, starting with the development of valid and reliable assessment tools, researchers’ bias control, discovering ways to keep participants and to monitor long-term results. An examination of new, cost-effective interventions in countries with high suicide rates could help achieve more consistent research results. |
