Background: The COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences may affect population mental health and suicide risk.Aims: To explore the experiences among suicidal individuals who made calls to a suicide prevention hotline and to identify factors and psychological responses that may influence suicide risk.Method: We identified 60 eligible recorded calls to Taiwan’s suicide prevention hotline (January 23-May 31, 2020) and analyzed the transcripts using the framework analysis.Findings: We identified three themes: (a) effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on society (impacts on local economies, the fear of contagion, and disruptions caused by outbreak control measures); (b) stress experienced by callers, including increased challenges (financial burden, restricted freedom of movement, interpersonal conflicts, feelings of uncertainty, and education/career interruption) and reduced support (reduced access to health services and social support); and (c) the callers’ psychological responses to stress, including anxiety, sleep disturbance, depression, loneliness, hopelessness, and entrapment, which may increase suicide risk.Limitations: Only the experiences among those who sought help by calling the hotline during the early months of the pandemic in 2020 were explored.Conclusion: Our findings revealed the potential process underlying the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on suicide risk and have implications for prevention and intervention strategies. |
