Vsebina projekta
Program Živ?Živ! predstavlja celovit pristop k preprečevanju samomora kot enega izmed največjih družbenih in javno-zdravstvenih problemov v Sloveniji ter ponuja inovativne načine raziskovanja samomorilnega vedenja. Glavni cilji projekta so zmanjševanje samomorilnega količnika, prispevati k mutidisciplinarnemu in večnivojskemu preprečevanju samomora ter v suicidologijo vnašati široko paleto raziskovalnih metod za boljše razumevanje in razlago samomorilnega vedenja. Uresničevanje zastavljenih ciljev temelji na spektru dejavnosti na področju duševnega zdravja in preprečevanja samomorilnega vedenja. (1) V okviru promocije duševnega zdravja bo delo vključevalo medijske kampanje za splošno javnost ter implementacijo smernic za odgovorno novinarsko poročanje o samomoru. (2) Preventivne dejavnosti bodo razdeljene na dejavnosti univerzalne preventive (uvedba na informacijskih tehnologijah temelječih preventivnih aplikacij, omejevanje dostopa do sredstev za samomor), selektivne preventive (opolnomočenje ranljivih skupin, npr. mladostniki, starostniki) ter indicirane preventive (preventivno delo za prepoznavanje samomorilno ogroženih posameznikov, npr. izobraževanje t.i. vratarjev sistema). V okviru (3) obravnave/zdravljenja in (4) vzdrževanja stanja bomo implementirali e-podporne rešitve za posameznike v stiski, postvencijske dejavnosti za bližnje po samomoru ter program MBCT (na čuječnosti temelječe kognitivne terapije) za odrasle s povečanim tveganjem. V program bodo zato vključene zelo različne skupine ljudi s specifičnimi potrebami (splošna javnost, posebne ranljive skupine prebivalcev, ljudje v duševni stiski, itd.). Z namenom zagotavljanja visoke ravni kvalitete znanstvenih zaključkov bomo pri svojem delu uporabljali kombinacijo različnih najnovejših raziskovalnih metod (spekter kvantitativnih in kvalitativnih raziskovalnih metod). Program bo zapolnil veliko potrebo po celovitejši in dolgoročnejši uporabi več nivojskih intervencij za preprečevanje samomora pri nas. Hkrati bo to ponudilo priložnost za razvoj inovativnih programov in raziskovalnih metod, ki so v suicidologiji aktualne in potrebne, ter opazovanje učinkov uvedbe takšnega programa v nacionalni prostor. Z izvedbo programa bomo torej imeli možnost prispevati tako k razvoju znanosti (suicidologije), raziskovanja in preventive samomorilnega vedenja pri nas kot tudi k tudi družbeno-ekonomskemu razvoju Slovenije.

The program Alive?Alive! [English speakers only: Slovene name Živ?Živ! has a positive connotation by resembling a bird chirp; Alive?Alive! is a literal translation of it] is a comprehensive approach including both the prevention of suicide and the innovative ways of researching suicidal behaviour, both important aspects as suicide is one the biggest societal and public health problem in Slovenia. The main goals of the project are reducing suicide rates in Slovenia, contributing to multi-disciplinary and multi-level suicide prevention and to bring a wide range of research methods into suicidology in order to better understand and explain suicidal behaviour.
Implementation of these goals is based on a spectre of interventions in the field of mental health and suicide prevention. (1) Our work in the framework of mental health promotion would include media campaigns for general public and implementation of guidelines for responsible media reporting on suicide. (2) Prevention activities would include activities of universal prevention (implementation of information technology based prevention applications, restricting access to the means of suicide), selective prevention (empowering vulnerable groups, e.g. adolescents, elderly) and indicated prevention (prevention work for recognizing individuals that are at high risk for committing suicide, e.g. educating gatekeepers). In the framework of (3) treatment and (4) maintenance of care we would implement e-supportive solutions for individuals in distress, postvention activities for suicide survivors and MBCT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy) program for grown up individuals at risk. Therefore, a wide variety of groups of people with specific needs would be included in the program (general public, vulnerable groups of individuals, people in mental distress, etc.). With the purpose of ensuring high-quality of scientific conclusions we would use the combination of the innovative research methods (spectre of different quantitative and qualitative research methods).
The program will address big needs for more comprehensive and long-term use of multi-level interventions for suicide prevention in our region. At the same time it would enable an opportunity for developing innovative programs and research methods, which are needed in suicidology, and observing the impact of implementing this kind of program in Slovenia. We would therefore gain an opportunity to contribute to the development of science (suicidology), research and prevention of suicidal behaviour in our region and also to the socio-economic development of Slovenia.
