Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This study aimed to understand the essential meanings of suicidal ideation experienced by college student clients.
Methods: Data were collected using interviews and observations from six college student clients who had experienced suicidal ideation for approximately six months from January 2021 to June 2021. This study adopted van Manen’s hermeneutic phenomenological method of qualitative research.
Results: The results derived 24 sub-themes and seven essential themes, the latter being: ‘feeling like a person with serious defects’, ‘wounds of the past haunting the mind’, ‘indulging in the marsh of depression’, ‘two minds that want to be close and distanced’, ‘wanting to live, but feeling like there’s nothing else but death’, ‘living everyday life with a slender will’, and ‘realization of myself being a good person’. I understood that college student clients’ suicidal ideation was a natural phenomenon, not pathological.
Conclusion: The essence of college student clients’ suicidal ideation is the confession of painful minds and because they think that they are flawed.
