摘要

摘要一个人的自杀影响了60人,被称为自杀幸存者。这些幸存者出现负面心理健康后果的风险增加,包括创伤后应激障碍、自杀意念和自杀传染。尽管存在这些后果,但目前还没有任何信息科学研究对最近从亲人自杀中幸存下来的人的信息行为进行探索。本文采用了一种独特的方法,将民族志与传统调查研究相结合。来自Facebook上一个私人自杀丧亲小组的109名参与者对一项调查做出了回应,该调查询问了他们在亲人自杀后寻求信息的情况。定性数据是零散的,并被分组为类似的回答和主题代码,以解释研究问题。这些结果与作者对类似经历的民族志叙述相结合。Brenda Dervin的推理被用作进行研究的方法论视角。研究发现,自杀幸存者的信息需求极不可能得到满足。在他们去世后不久,他们最有可能寻找与死者痛苦有关的信息。随着时间的推移,他们开始寻找有关应对损失和防止他人自杀的信息;要么是那些与他们关系密切的人,要么是在更大的社区范围内。作为一名幸存者,许多参与者积极参与宣传工作。最后,作者认为,这篇文章的发现应该推动进一步的研究和制定信息政策,以帮助幸存者并防止自杀传染。

The Information Seeking Behaviors and Needs of Suicide Survivors During Bereavement
Abstract The suicide of one person impacts 60 people, known as suicide survivors. These survivors are at an increased risk for negative mental health outcomes including PTSD, suicidal ideation, and suicide contagion. Despite these consequences, there have not been any information science studies that have explored the information behaviors of people who have recently survived the suicide of a loved one. This article takes a unique approach in combining autoethnography with traditional survey research. One hundred and ninteen participants sourced from a private Facebook suicide bereavement group responded to a survey asking them about their information-seeking after a loved one committed suicide. The qualitative data were fragmented and grouped into like-responses and thematic codes that gave explanation to the research questions. These results are coupled with the author’s ethnographic recounting of a similar experience. Brenda Dervin’s sense-making is employed as the methodological lens through which the study is conducted. It is found that suicide survivors are highly unlikely to have their informational needs met. In the immediate aftermath of their loss, they are most likely to look for information related to the suffering of the deceased. As time passes, they begin to look for information about coping with their loss and preventing suicide of other people; either those close to them or in a larger community scale. Being a survivor motivated many participants to advocacy work. Finally, the author argues that the findings of this article should compel further research and the creation of information policy to aid survivors and prevent suicide contagion.
