THE WIDER PROGRAMME
RESUME: building towards prevention.
REsearch into Scottish nursing SUicide and Mental health Experiences is the wider programme connecting understanding, involvement and future suicide prevention research.
Where Crisis Narrative fits
Crisis Narrative provides the programme’s foundation research: examining records, gathering survey accounts and listening to oral histories. It asks how crises develop, how they are understood and where support could make a difference.
RESUME is the longer-term direction. The intention is to use this evidence, alongside lived experience and professional expertise, to develop and evaluate approaches to prevention.
FOUNDATION
Understand experiences
Build a clearer account of suicide and mental health experiences in Scottish nursing.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
Shape possible responses
Work with those affected and with practice partners to identify and develop useful approaches.
FUTURE EVALUATION
Find out what helps
Design studies to examine feasibility, acceptability, safety and effectiveness.
Future research, clearly described
The next stages will depend on the findings, partnerships, resources, funding and approvals. They are ambitions for further research, rather than promises of a currently funded prevention intervention.
Digital approaches: the ASC concept
ASC is one possible area of future development. Its place in the programme will need to be considered alongside other forms of workplace and organisational support.
Help shape the next questions.
We welcome conversations about where research could make the greatest practical difference for nurses.
