The suicide preventive work among adolescents within high school and senior high school - school nurses experiences (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Många av dagens ungdomar i Sverige lider av psykisk ohälsa, som kan bidra till ökad risk för suicid. Suicid är den vanligaste dödsorsaken i åldersgruppen 15-24 år. Skolsköterskan har en viktig uppgift att främja elevers psykiska hälsa samt att uppmärksamma elever med psykisk ohälsa för att kunna ge dem rätt stöd. Hälsosamtalet är ett tillfälle då skolsköterskan får möjlighet att samtala med eleverna om deras hälsa och kan upptäcka riskbeteenden och tecken till suicidalitet.

Syfte: Att beskriva skolsköterskors erfarenheter av det suicidpreventiva arbetet bland ungdomar inom högstadiet och gymnasiet.

Metod: Studien bygger på en kvalitativ innebördsanalys med livsvärldsintervjuer. Resultatet analyserades med en beskrivande innebördsanalys.

Resultat: Sex innebördsteman framkom: tidiga insatser för att förhindra suicid, skapa en tillitsfull och trygg relation, att möta eleverna i hälsosamtal, samarbeta med olika professioner inom skolan, samarbeta med externa aktörer samt känslan av trygghet i den egna yrkesprofessionen.

Slutsats: Suicidpreventivt arbete inom högstadiet och gymnasiet är idag begränsat, däremot finns ett aktivt förebyggande arbete mot psykisk ohälsa, som anses som suicidpreventivt på sikt. Ett framgångsrikt suicidpreventivt arbete bygger på goda relationer med eleverna, som uppnås genom hälsosamtal och tillgänglighet. Samarbete med andra aktörer underlättar arbetet men behöver synliggöras och utvecklas. För att känna trygghet i det suicidpreventiva arbetet krävs utbildning och yrkeserfarenhet samt tydliga riktlinjer och handlingsplaner inom skola

Abstract [en]

Background: Many of today's adolescences in Sweden suffer from mental illness, which can contribute to an increased risk of suicide. Suicide is the most common cause of death in the age group 15-24 years. The school nurse has an important task to promote students' mental health and to draw attention to students with mental illness in order to give them the right support. The health discussion is an occasion when the school nurse has the opportunity to talk to the students about their health and can discover risk behaviors and signs of suicidality.

Purpose: To describe school nurses' experiences of suicide prevention work among adolencences within high school and upper secondary school.

Method: The study is based on a qualitative meaning analysis with life world interviews. The results were analyzed with a descriptive meaning analysis.

Results: Six meaning themes emerged in the results, early interventions to prevent suicide, create a trusting and safe relationship, to meet the students in health discussions, collaborate with different professions within the school, collaborate with external actors and the feeling of security in one’s own professional role.

Conclusions: Suicide prevention work in high school and upper secondary school is currently limited, however, there is active preventive work against mental illnes, which is considered suicide preventive in the long run. Successful suicide prevention work is based on good relationships with students, which are achieved through health discussions and accessibility. Cooperation with other actors facilitates the work but needs to be made visible and developed. In order to feel secure in the suicide prevention work, education and professional experience are required, as well as clear guidelines and action plans within the school.
