Suicide notes might be crucial to understanding motives associated with suicidal behaviours. In this way, it is necessary to understand the qualitative methods that are most frequently used to analyze this data. Investigating these factors is crucial for developing targeted and preventive interventions. This scoping review aimed to answer the question \"What is the state of art about qualitative methods adopted to analyze suicide notes?\" by systematically mapping the literature on this topic. This review adopted the JBI guidelines for Scoping Reviews and followed the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. A comprehensive search strategy has been implemented across PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Grey literature was not included in this review. Eligible studies encompassed qualitative studies on suicide notes published in English. Two independent researchers screened titles and abstracts and subsequently conducted full-text assessments based on predefined inclusion criteria. Relevant data have been systematically extracted and tabulated. The findings were thematically organized and qualitatively summarized, with potential visual aids such as graphs and tables. The studies highlighted the most used qualitative methods to analyze suicide notes, such as LIWC, Leenar's, Grounded Theory, Thematic Analysis and others. This study summarizes the current knowledge about qualitative methods to analyze suicide notes. Further research is necessary for the development of prevention programs destined for this population.</p>","PeriodicalId":74338,"journal":{"name":"Omega","volume":" ","pages":"302228251339862"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144052863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Suicidal Behavior in Women as a Risk Factor Generated by the Invisibilization of Their Affective Sexual Diversity, Gender Identity and LGTBphobia.","authors":"Belén Ríos-Vizcaíno, Alfonso Chaves-Montero, Pilar Blanco-Miguel, Yolanda Navarro-Abal","doi":"10.1177/00302228251338587","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/00302228251338587","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p><b>Introduction:</b> Suicidal manifestations during the invisibilization of sex-gender diversity arise from various factors. The link between internalized and externalized LGBTphobia and suicide is crucial, as both forms of discrimination can increase suicidal behaviors. Informal social networks are vital, offering support and community, but they can also exacerbate isolation if not managed properly. <b>Research Objective:</b> To analyze the manifestations of suicidal behaviors experienced during the period of invisibilization of gender diversity, considering the interrelation between internalized/externalized LGBTphobia and the role of informal support networks in addressing the issue under study. <b>Methodology and Study Design:</b> A qualitative, explanatory, and descriptive methodology was used, involving 40 Andalusian women from the LGBTQ+ community aged 40-70 years. The techniques employed included in-depth interviews/life histories and participant observation. Data exploitation was carried out using the ATLAS.ti 24 software. <b>Results and Analysis:</b> All participants concealed or denied their sex-gender diversity to avoid rejection. 72.5% reported suicidal ideation, primarily during adolescence, linked to LGBTphobia. After overcoming obstacles, they lived their identities openly without further suicidal thoughts. 10% experienced failed suicide attempts associated with extreme violence. 27.5% did not experience suicidal manifestations due to support from friends and family. <b>Discussion:</b> Suicidal behavior in women is closely tied to invisibilization and LGBTphobia, exacerbated by systemic discrimination. Addressing these risks requires strengthening public protection systems to ensure comprehensive services and assistance for the LGBTQ+ community. Additionally, professionals in social-healthcare, psychological, and educational fields must receive specialized training to provide culturally competent care, fostering inclusion and mental health support. <b>Conclusions:</b> Invisibilization and LGBTphobia can lead to suicidal ideation, which worsens in violent contexts. Visibility is crucial to recognizing diversity and combating oppressive structures.</p>","PeriodicalId":74338,"journal":{"name":"Omega","volume":" ","pages":"302228251338587"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144065341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study's goal was to explore PL experiences among this unique sociocultural group: Jewish Ultraorthodox women. Employing a qualitative approach, we interviewed 14 women about their PL. Analysis revealed five themes denoting Ultraorthodox women's struggles post-PL, within two arenas: <i>religiously-based marital struggle</i> (restricted physical support, challenged emotional support) and <i>social struggle/conflict regarding sharing</i> (due to PL as a taboo, perceived failure to fulfill the woman's fertility role, and yearning for \"room to grieve\").
