Abstract

Suicide is a public health issue that impacts an average of six family members and up to 135 community members. Persons bereaved by suicide may feel guilt, stigma, shame, and rejection. In T & uuml;rkiye, suicide survivors may face additional challenges due to Islamic taboos and sanctions placed on suicide. This study explores the experiences and support needs of Turkish suicide survivors through an online survey. Using NVivo software for thematic analysis, we examined responses from 73 participants and identified three predominant themes: (1) the impact of suicide, (2) support experiences and perceptions, and (3) recommendations for appropriate support provision. Each theme contained several subthemes. Our findings indicated a lack of available services and an unmet need for support.
