This study aimed to understand how veterans describe their thoughts and feelings just prior to attempting suicide and explored what may support recovery. This was a national qualitative study of 50 (25 women, 25 men) United States (U.S.) Veterans who made a recent suicide attempt (prior 6 months). Participants were treatment-seeking patients at Veterans Affairs medical centers, recruited through their clinician. A modified grounded theory approach was used to conduct the semi-structured interviews, covering topics of military history, suicidal thoughts and attempts, and healthcare and recovery experiences. 000008258 540__ $$fCC BY 000008258 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000008258 650__ $$aSelf Concept$$025841 000008258 650__ $$aVeterans$$027802 000008258 650__ $$aDepression$$017614 000008258 650__ $$aMental Health$$022046 000008258 650__ $$aSuicidal Ideation$$039477 000008258 650__ $$aSuicide$$026555 000008258 650__ $$aSelf-Compassion$$013558 000008258 6531_ $$aself-esteem 000008258 692__ $$aCenter to Improve Veteran Involvement in Care$$041390 000008258 7001_ $$aMcDonald, Katie$$uVA/OHSU$$041363 000008258 7001_ $$aTompkins, Kyla J.$$uVA/OHSU$$041363 000008258 7001_ $$aDenneson, Lauren M.$$uVA/OHSU$$041363 000008258 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2020 000008258 8564_ $$9077cbb44-ef2f-45f1-a4e4-75e48dcc0885$$s48050$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8258/files/Katie-McDonald.pdf 000008258 905__ $$a/rest/prod/kp/78/gg/94/kp78gg94c 000008258 980__ $$aResearch Week
