Filter by:Several studies have demonstrated an association between sleep disorders such as insomnia and nightmares to suicidal ideations and behaviors. Nevertheless, some of these studies are methodologically questionable especially in the exploration of sleep disorders. Furthermore, confounding factors such as depressive symptomatology are not controlled and the measurement of suicidal behavior has often been taken into account as a historical measure, not as a current event, which introduces uncertainties and a lack of precision regarding the temporality of the phenomena. Today, while the links between sleep disorders and suicidal risk are well known, we have a lack of information on the importance and the role of sleep disorders as a precipitating factor. Indeed, few studies have evaluated the temporal link between sleep disorders and suicidal acts. The objective of this study is to evaluate the links between acute and chronic sleep disorders and the risk of suicide attempt
Although suicide risk is highly prevalent among the patient population in mental health care, remarkably little research exists on effective treatments. Among a small set of novel approaches, CAMS is particularly promising. The investigators compare CAMS to TAU in a randomized controlled trial at four departments in Vestre Viken Hospital Trust, hypothesizing CAMS to be the superior approach. Primary outcome measures are suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, with secondary outcome measures including general symptoms of mental health problems. Changes in the outcome measures are compared between the two groups from baseline to 6 and 12 months after patients are included in the study. The study has the potential to impact the science of treating suicidal individuals and it could benefit the general public by establishing CAMS as an effective clinical approach for rapidly reducing suicide risk.
Aim: To adapt and develop a culturally appropriate psychological intervention and test its feasibility, and acceptability for the patients presenting to general hospital following self-harm in Karachi Pakistan. Primary hypothesis: Patients who receive cognitive behavioral therapy will show significant decrease in suicidal ideation as compared to patients with treatment as usual. Design: Randomized Control Trial Setting: Medical Departments of General Hospitals in Karachi. Participants: A total of 200 self harm patients will be randomized to psychological intervention and treatment as usual arm. Intervention: Culturally Adapted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Outcome measure: Beck Suicidal Ideation Scale
