En undersøkelse av selvmordsrisikoens synlighet. Magefølelser under selvmordsrisikovurderinger. Hvor kan de komme fra og har de noen verdi?
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-05-03)Temaet for denne masteroppgaven er magefølelser som behandlere i psykisk helsevern for voksne (PHV-v) kan erfare når de gjør selvmordsrisikovurderinger. Dagens verktøy for selvmorsrisikovurdering har lav predikasjonsverdi (3%). Internasjonale fagmiljø etterlyser derfor nye tilnærminger til hvordan forskning kan generere kunnskap for å forebygge selvmord. Forskningsspørsmålet er: På hvilke måter kan ... -
