Brief Summary

The goal of this observational study is to increase the knowledge base about fluctuations in suicide ideation and its association with relational and contextual factors after hospital discharge in patients with high risk of suicide. Patients hospitalized due to severe risk of suicide (recent suicide attempt or due to acute suicidality) are invited to participate in the study. Researchers will investigate how psychological, relational and contextual factors trigger as well as protect against escalating suicide ideation in this period in the post discharge period. Information will be retrieved from multiple sources (eg. by Ecological Momentary Assessment Method (EMA), regular patient interviews and questionnaires in addition to information from Electronic Patient Registry) to; a) delineate fluctuations in suicide ideation, b) identify factors that are associated with/ influence suicide ideation in the EMA assessment period, c) explore associations with relational and contextual measures during EMA assessment, d) generate profiles for subgroups and investigate how participants experience and evaluate their participation and completion of the EMA assessment protocol.
