IntroductionSuicide is a major public health issue. It is the leading cause of death among younger adults in the UK. Suicide by jumping is an uncommon method. About 23 people die each year by jumping from the cliffs at beachy head, Sussex. The beachy head chaplaincy established a suicide-prevention patrol at beachy head in August 2004. To date there have been no studies evaluating the impact of a suicide patrol as a prevention strategy. This study aimed to assess the impact of this suicide-prevention patrol.MethodsData from local and national official statistics was gathered to examine the overall suicide numbers and rates of suicide by jumping vs. other methods. This included an in-depth scrutiny of coroners’ data and reports from the beachy head chaplaincy.A qualitative, phenomenological approach using in-depth interviews was used to evaluate the “lived experiences” of members of the suicide-prevention patrol.ResultsThe statistics reveal unexpected and at times, conflicting, results which will be offered for discussion.The thematic analysis of the interviews reveals insights into the motivations for volunteering; how a faith-based patrol works; the physical and psycho-social impact of the work; volunteers’ stories; the centrality of God within their work and motivation.For copyright reasons full details of the analyses cannot be made available before the conference.DiscussionWe welcome an interactive discussion of the results.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

The Impact

This study seeks to contribute to our understanding of the lived experiences of family members and friends of individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The study employed an interpretative phenomenological approach, enabling family members and friends to identify and reflect upon the factors they themselves considered most significant about the impact of TBI on someone close to them, and how this experience has affected their own lives and their relationship with the TBI survivor. Eleven participants, two males and nine females aged 22–79, were from the United Kingdom. Several strong and interconnected themes emerged from the interviews, clustering into four superordinate themes: “continuity and discontinuity”; “damage, loss, and grief”; “roles and responsibility”; and “coping and not coping.” The study findings identify the importance of support and information provision for family members and friends of those with TBI to help them manage the long-term impact of TBI.

And Coping

Motherhood represents an integral part of human life. Mothers all over the world are primarily responsible for caring for their families despite little or the absence of help from their husbands. Using qualitative phenomenological approach, this study explored and examined incarcerated mothers’ experiences, struggles and coping mechanism as well as their dreams and aspirations. A validated interview guide questions were used in interviewing the participants. Results have shown that the incarcerated mothers considered their incarceration as a suffering with an accompanying feeling of regret. They are often unnoticed by the public at large, and their dreams seemed to be oblivious to many. Indeed, most of the incarcerated mothers had suffered a lot and shared a common reason of their loneliness which is the distance they have with their family especially with their children. However, like any human beings, they have dreams for a happy and fulfilling life. The implication of this study is for the local jail management to impose regulations and policies as well as programs to address the emotional needs of the incarcerated mothers. In addition, a deeper understanding of their experiences behind bars and respect in spite of their incarceration should be encouraged.

This study aimed to describe and explore the experiences and perceptions of children of divorce families. A qualitative phenomenological approach was used to provide depth understanding on 1.) Children experiences on parental divorce, 2.) The impact and effects of divorce, 3.) Their perceptions on marriage and divorce, 4.) Whether Islamic practices have helped them cope with the experience. In-depth interview with semi-structured questionnaire were tools in the study. The interviews were analyzed using inductive analysis. Data were transcribed and analyzed to identify themes generated from the interview. From the analysis effects of divorce were identified as internalizing effects, externalizing effects, and mediating effects. As the exploration and understanding of each frame go deeper and become more personal, various concepts emerge. The internalizing effects employ the direct approach of lived experiences, which were categorized into inciting negative reactions and continuing impact of divorce. The second frame on externalizing effects uses the indirect approach that results in providing risks and eliciting some positive effects. The last frame on mediating effects combined the direct and indirect approaches and revealed the coping and healing strategies and perceptions on family and divorce. The Islamic perspective on coping was a comfort to some of the participants.   Keywords - divorce, marriage, perceptions, experiences, islam, muslim
