Summary

This doctoral project aims to develop a comprehensive theoretical model of the process through which the suicidal ideation framework is configured as a symbolic, narrative, and relational expression, adopting a multiperspective approach that spans the suicide attempt and the stages of care and recovery. Moving away from biomedical reductionisms, this investigation seeks to identify shared meaning-making nuclei and discursive fractures that reflect the inherent conflictuality of the suicidal act.

Grounded in the integration of the theoretical frameworks previously outlined, this study adopts an interpretive-constructivist approach. Phase 1 will include studies conducted in OECD countries, providing a broad and conceptually diverse interpretive foundation. Phase 2, conducted in Catalonia, will deepen situated configurations, assuming that local sociocultural frameworks act as interpretive prisms for globally relevant phenomena.

Overall, this theoretical-methodological architecture not only ensures conceptual robustness and coherence, but also articulates an ethical and epistemic commitment to understanding suicide through the complexity of its human textures. By centering suffering, listening to historically silenced voices, honoring the singularity of each life trajectory, and grounding the inquiry in an ethics of care, this study aims to transcend a merely technical-instrumental logic of knowledge.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

In-Depth Qualitative Interview

In-depth interviews aimed at exploring participants' lived experiences, meaning-making processes, and contextual factors related to the configuration of the suicidal ideation framework. Interviews will last approximately 30-45 minutes and will be conducted by the Principal Investigator in a confidential, safe, and clinically monitored setting. No clinical treatment or diagnostic procedure is administered.

PROCEDURE

Discussion Group

Non-directive discussion groups composed of 4-6 participants from the same analytic category (suicide attempt survivors, support network members, or healthcare professionals). Sessions will last 60-90 minutes and will facilitate the collective exploration of relational, contextual, and sociocultural dynamics associated with the suicidal ideation framework. The procedure is solely qualitative and involves no therapeutic intervention or clinical manipulation.
