Interventions
Semi-structured interview (Guideline for Suicide care and Evaluation =LOES)
A semi-structured interview is utilized in general hospitals and other healthcare institutions by clinicians and nurses as part of the psychosocial assessment, with the aim of collecting standardized data on episodes of self-harm and individuals experiencing suicidal ideation. The interview consists of two parts: Part 1 is administered shortly after admission to the healthcare facility due to an episode of self-harm or reported suicidal thoughts. It is conducted by a trained nurse or psychologist. This section collects demographic information, characteristics of the self-harm episode, history of self-harm behavior, perceived social support, level of hopelessness, and current suicidal ideation. Part 2 focuses on a more in-depth exploration of the individual's psychological state. It assesses underlying motives for the self-harm or suicidal thoughts, perceived personal and interpersonal problems, and current and current thoughts of self-harm.
