Research Topics / Seeking people with lived experience of suicide ideation - online survey 15mins

« Last post by epsi_research on November 15, 2024, 03:57:06 PM »

Hello, I'm a trainee clinical psychologist looking to hear from people with lived experience of suicide ideation, in the hope to inform future intervention, practice and support. This is an online survey exploring the relationship between emotion processing and thoughts of suicide. Your voice is appreciated.

Here is the link: https://www.qualtrics.manchester.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_dio7PPAKImOjNNc

This study is looking for people who are:

·      Aged 18 or above, and

·      Have had thoughts about suicide in the last 6 months

People can often find it hard to understand and respond to their emotions. This may make some people more likely to think about hurting themselves or taking their own life. This research aims to find out more about how we process our emotions and the relationship between this process and thoughts about suicide.

The study will ask participants to complete an online survey about emotional processing, suicide ideation and related topics. It is estimated to take 15-20 mins.

The survey is anonymous and there is a prize draw entry (optional).

Please prioritise your own safety when considering taking part. We ask that those who are experiencing current thoughts of suicide do not complete the survey at this time; support resources are available on the webpage and we will welcome your responses at later date.

Here is the link: https://www.qualtrics.manchester.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_dio7PPAKImOjNNc

Best wishes always, and thank you

Survivor Room / Re: Finding it hard

« Last post by jackalsodawn on October 20, 2024, 10:41:02 PM »

Hey, I know that struggle so well. I haven’t managed to stop for more than a week since I started so I’m probably not the best person to give advice, but I know how hard it is and I know you’ve done so well to fight against the urge, and to reach out for support here. Is there anything you enjoy doing that you might be able to do to distract yourself?

Research Topics / Study on self-harm and social groups

« Last post by selfharm_and_identity on October 09, 2024, 08:45:46 PM »

Hi all!

Some of you might remember that I conducted a consultation on this forum a few months ago regarding a study on self-harm and social identity. Your input was extremely helpful and informed the eventual design of our study, so thank you all very much! I have now obtained ethical approval for the study, which you can find below. It involves a questionnaire which should take no more than 20 minutes. We're looking for people who self-harm and are aged 18 or over.

Link to survey:
https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/oxford/self-harm-and-social-identity

I think our research is valuable and looks at something which is understudied: the role of communities for people who self-harm. By filling out the survey, you'll be helping to further our understanding of self-harm and potentially generate evidence around the impact of self-harm oriented communities like this one.

Thanks for all your help so far, and please don't hesitate to DM me with any questions or suggestions!

Best wishes,
Guan

Research Topics / Survey [16-21, UK]: Attachment, Emotion Regulation, Functions Of Self-Harm

« Last post by Michael_Y_Research on September 30, 2024, 03:36:10 PM »

Hi everyone. My name is Michael and I am a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology Trainee at University of Edinburgh. I am currently conducting some research into self-harm and any responses would be greatly appreciated.

This is a repost as unfortunately my last link was targetted by bots - many thanks to all of you who were able to complete the survey so far, please know that your results will still be included in the final analysis! Unfortunately due to the risk of being targetted by bots again I am unable to offer any financial incentives for taking part, however your results will hopefully help us to better understand self-harm and how we can help.

This is an online mental health survey for anyone aged 16 to 21 years old and living in the UK.
It takes about 20-40 minutes to complete.The survey asks questions about your wellbeing, how you experience close relationships, and how you manage emotions. It also asks whether you self-harm and if so, your reasons for this. Your answers are anonymous.

For more information and to take part:
www.tinyurl.com/AttachmentAndSelfHarmSurvey

It is important to me that people who take part in research get to know happens afterwards and I will post a summary of the results around May 2025 when the survey closes and would be happy to answer any questions people may have!

Many thanks
Michael

Research Topics / Designing a better self-harm assessment tool with and for autistic adults

« Last post by victorianewell on September 05, 2024, 11:27:04 AM »

Hi everyone,

I am a final year PhD student at the University of Nottingham and I have been developing a new self-harm assessment tool with and for autistic adults. I am recruiting participants for an online survey to find out how well the new tool performs so it can be used in future research to understand and develop support for autistic people who self-harm.

You can take part in this study if:
•   You are an autistic adult (diagnosed or self-identifying), aged 18 years old and over
•   You have lived experience of self-harm and/or self-injury
•   You live in the UK

The research involves completing an online survey about yourself (e.g., age, gender, ethnicity), autistic traits, mental health and self-harm. This will take approximately 60 minutes to complete. You can also choose to complete a small section of the survey again in two weeks. This will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.

For more information or to take part, follow the link below:

If you have any questions, please contact the lead researcher (Victoria Newell) at [email protected]

Survivor Room / Re: Pissed off and fed up.

I hear where you’re coming from, and you’ve described exactly what happens when that wall of hurdles towers in front of you. But each time one of those hurdles passes that wall has a gaping hole in it and you see your way through. You don’t have to conquer every obstacle - some you have to accommodate, but you have moved so far forward and I think you’ve got more of an understanding of yourself in the process.
