• Presentation given at above conference:

  Suicide and self-harm are major issues in low- and middle-income countries

  LMICs), where 77% of global suicides occur (WHO). Only recently has suicide been decriminalised in India and Pakistan. There is a lack of understanding how hospital staff interpret and make sense of self-harm and suicide. This is

  important as their attitudes and opinions are likely to have an impact on treatment and follow-up.

  Hospital staff were recruited in three hospitals, where we conducted 29 interviews in English, ranging from 20 to 180 minutes. Interviews focused

  on experiences with self-harm patients, reasons for self-harm and suicide, reactions of others (family, society, etc.) and support needs. Participants included a wide range of staff including nurses, emergency staff, psychiatrists, psychologists, and medico-legal officers. Interviews were conducted by local researchers. Transcripts and notes were analysed using a codebook approach to thematic analysis (Bazeley, 2013).

  We are currently analysing the data and will present findings at the conference. Initial analysis suggest that socio-cultural, legal and economic factors need to be considered when aiming to develop prevention and treatment programmes. A focus on attitudes of health professionals, who have a key role when working with self-harm patients and their families is essential.

• Projects with collaborators from different countries are undertaken to address global health problems. The value of qualitative research in this context is slowly recognised, but there are challenges when working across countries, cultures, and spaces. Qualitative research that is culturally sensitive and focuses on the perspectives of people within their local contexts is needed, this includes not, only recruitment of participants and data collection, but also mindful data analysis.

  The aim of this workshop was to explore issues when conducting qualitative research in low- and middle-income countries on topics that may be taboo or stigmatised, such as self-harm and mental health. As part of the workshop, we shared experiences and learning from our project, the South Asia Self Harm Initiative (SASHI). This covered a range of issues such as strategies for collaborative research processes (including data collection and analysis) and sharing of knowledge. We looked at practical and methodological challenges. Some of the topics were explored in more detail through various activities and discussions. Participants’ questions and experiences were important elements feeding into the interactive part of the workshop. We jointly formulated suggestions for good practice. The workshop was of relevance not only to people working across countries but also people conducting research across different teams.

• Suicide disproportionately affects low and middle income countries (LMICs) and presents farreaching social, emotional and economic consequences for families, communities and society as a whole. An understanding of suicide and self-harm within the cultural, political and economic context of LMICs is fundamental to affecting change. The aim of this study was to synthesize qualitative research on knowledge, attitudes and experiences of self-harm and suicide of various stakeholders in LMICs. We have searched Medline, Embase, PsycInfo, CINAHL, BNI, Social Sciences and Cochrane library databases from inception until July 2019. 9,150 and preliminary findings are presented. Meta-ethnographic methods were used to synthesize the results of qualitative studies. A chronological approach was taken towards reciprocal translation. The results can inform the development of further research on knowledge, attitudes and experiences of suicide and self-harm in LMICs.

• This talk was given as part of a symposium titled: "AFTER TRAUMA: NARRATIVE AND APPLIED APPROACHES".

  The talk focused on understanding of the impact of working with sensitive topics such as self-harm and mental health illness where there is a lack of evidence from capacity building projects with partners from the Global North and South where local research assistants are employed. Research with trained health professionals suggests experiences of distress, helplessness and even trauma when working with sensitive topics. The presentation drew on the experiences from research assistants of the South-Asia Self-Harm Initiative (SASHI) project We used a reflective collaborative approach as outlined by Finlay and Gough (2003). We payed particular attention to the social, economic and cultural context, as self-harm and mental health illness are topics associated with taboos, stigma and potential marginalisation in South Asia. Based on our experiences, we shared lessons learned and formulate recommendations for good research practice.

• Conference workshop: There is a need for qualitative research that is culturally sensitive and focuses on the perspectives of people within their local contexts. Religious, social, and cultural norms as well as differences in wealth may affect the interpretation of ethical principles. For example, Asian countries have religious and cultural traditions that emphasise the family and public interest rather than the Western focus on individual rights.

  The aim of this workshop was to explore ethical considerations when conducting qualitative research in low- and middle income countries on topics that may be taboo or stigmatised, such as self harm and mental health. As part of the workshop, we shared experiences and learning from our project, the South Asia Self Harm Initiative (SASHI). This covered a range of challenges such as gaining meaningful consent, sensitive interviewing and issues around power.

  This was an international networking event put on by the SASHI research project to bring practitioners and academics from different backgrounds and service users together to meet and to discuss research needs in the area of self harm and suicide in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs). This interactive event provided a forum for people from different backgrounds to come together and explore different view points. Research questions with real world relevant were developed and SASHI will further facilitate the development of these. Interest groups of people have formed who will explore taking specific research ideas forward.

  Summary: This was an international networking event put on by the South Asia Self Harm Initiative to bring practitioners, academics and service users together to meet and to discuss research needs in the area of self harm and suicide in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs). This interactive event provided a forum for people from different backgrounds to come together and explore different points of view. Research questions with real world relevant were developed and SASHI will further facilitate the development of these (also see: http://sashi.bangor.ac.uk/news/networking-event-in-manchester-6th-of-november-38753)

  Underpinning research: This was part of the South Asia Self Harm Initiative programme of work which is reaching out to reduce suicide and self harm in South Asia whilst also facilitating reserach capacity building.

  We presented the findings of the research to service users and service providers and discussed how the findings can inform and be implemented in practice. Several practical ideas were generated and participants hope to take these forward into their organisations.

  Summary: We presented the findings of the project to service users and service providers and discussed how the findings can inform and be implemented in practice. We found that althoug the importance of partnership working is recognised, there is a lack of awareness and communiction, complicated by a lack of funding for partnership working. Several practical ideas were generated and participants hoped to take these forward into their organisations.

  Underpinning research: The Social Network Analysis for modelling integrated care services for older people with complex needs study is a Health and Care Reserach Wales funded project. The aim of this research was to test the feasibility of applying SNA in an integrated social care setting in order to model the complex systems that deliver care services to older people with complex needs. We had two main research questions:

  1. What organisational links currently exist for the provision of integrated social care services for community dwelling older people with complex needs?

  2. What are the gaps, barriers and enablers in linking services as perceived by key service stakeholders?

  Beneficiaries: Older people with complex needs.

• People with mental health problems are frequent victims of anti-social behaviour but they may also be perceived as anti-social. There is a danger that people may move towards criminalisation if no solution can be found. This research project explored tensions between anti-social behaviour policy and challenges for statutory and third sector organisations to support vulnerable people who experience mental health problems. We collected qualitative data in the form of 60 narrative police logs and interviews with service users and carers (n = 56) and professionals (n = 55). Service users and carers were involved in all stages of the project, ranging from the research development to dissemination. An inductive thematic approach was used to identify patterns within and across the data. Findings suggest that there are no clear-cut categories of victim and perpetrator and people may move in and out of these categories over time. In addition, although there is a legal definition of anti-social behaviour, professionals from different backgrounds and service user and carer interpret behaviours differently, partly depending on contextual and social-cultural factors. This has a major impact on relationships and ultimately on access to and experience of services by service users and carers.
