Comparing Experiences of Community Reintegration Following Hospitalization Versus Jail Detention During a Mental Health Crisis
2024
Overview
BACKGROUND: This comparative qualitative study explores the experiences of individuals transitioning back to the community after institutionalization following an episode of acute suicidality. METHODS: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight individuals who had either been hospitalized (n=4) or incarcerated (n=4) during a mental health crisis that involved acute suicidality. Thematic analysis was conducted first within groups and then between groups. RESULTS: The findings reveal possible disparities in social determinants of mental health, family dynamics, treatment seeking, and coping mechanisms between groups. Social isolation, barriers to socioeconomic stability, and lack of treatment access were all found to be risk factors for poor outcomes during the vulnerable transition period and were experienced by participants in this limited sample. CONCLUSIONS: Individuals transitioning from the hospital after a suicide crisis may benefit from increased family involvement, follow-up, and social support at discharge. After a suicide crisis and incarceration, there is a significant need for housing and employment support to allow for mental health treatment seeking. Future research should build on the proof of concept for comparing the experiences of individuals across institutional settings.
