Abstract: (60 Views)
Objectives Suicide is one of the important psychosocial concerns. This study aimed to explore the process of suicide attempts among Iranian youth to identify the related factors.
Methods This is a qualitative study based on the grounded theory approach. Semi-structured interviews were used for data collection. Participants were 23 young people (9 males and 14 females) aged 18-35 years with a history of suicide attempt from Shiraz, Iran, in 2024. They were selected via purposive and theoretical sampling. The data were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin’s approach.
Results We extracted 10 themes and 20 sub-themes. The core phenomenon was “mental breakdown”. The causal factors included perceived discrimination and psychological shock. Social pressure and individual vulnerability were facilitating factors. The intervening factors included character armor, spiritual factors, and social support. The strategy adopted by participants was “ pain avoidance”. The consequence was “attempt to get free”.
Conclusion Emotional, cognitive, and social factors play a role in the occurrence of suicide attempts among Iranian youth. More attention should be paid to these factors for suicide prevention.
