Introduction

There is little known about the clinicians’ experience of collaboration using the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicide (CAMS) framework. This study aimed to give voice to the clinician experience.

Method

A qualitative design utilised semi-structured interviews with ten psychologists who worked in a Suicide Assessment and Treatment Service (SATS) in Ireland which utilises the CAMS framework.

Results

An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach revealed several important findings. The superordinate themes included ‘Finding Safety’, ‘Regulation of the Self’, ‘Connecting’, and ‘Systemic Challenges’.

Discussion

The CAMS framework plays an important role in providing a safe base for the clinician (in terms of understanding suicidality, in addition to the structures of the framework). It provides a mechanism in which to process difficult emotions, and a way of communicating a formulation of suicide to the treating team. Importantly, the CAMS emerged as facilitating a collaborative, therapeutic way of working.

临床医生在自杀性框架的协作评估和管理中协作治疗自杀客户的经验

介绍

关于临床医生使用自杀协作评估和管理 (CAMS) 框架进行协作的经验知之甚少。这项研究旨在表达临床医生的经验。

方法

定性设计利用对 10 名在爱尔兰自杀评估和治疗服务 (SATS) 工作的心理学家进行半结构化访谈，该服务使用 CAMS 框架。

结果

解释现象学分析 (IPA) 方法揭示了几个重要发现。最重要的主题包括“寻找安全感”、“自我调节”、“联系”和“系统性挑战”。

讨论

CAMS 框架在为临床医生提供安全基础方面发挥着重要作用（除了框架结构之外，在理解自杀方面）。它提供了一种处理困难情绪的机制，以及一种向治疗团队传达自杀构想的方式。重要的是，CAMS 的出现促进了一种协作的、治疗性的工作方式。
