A systematic review of the role of social work in dealing with suicide
Original language description
Objectives: This review answers the following questions: (1) What is the potential role of social work in prevention, intervention, and postvention in dealing with suicide? (2) What factors limit social work involvement? Methods: A sample of 84 peer-reviewed articles selected via PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar were analysed using content analysis. Findings: Results indicate that the role of social work in suicide prevention, intervention and postvention has been primarily established as a clinical or mental health social worker’s task. However, generalist social workers can also effectively use their training in dealing with suicide at individual, family, organisational, and community levels. The study revealed that social work intervention in suicide prevention is reduced by several factors, including limited social work research interests in suicide, lack of education and training of social workers in dealing with people with suicidal ideation, and professional anxiety caused by clients’ suicides. Conclusion: Incorporating suicide content into social work education, increasing social workers’ training, and utilising generalist social workers’ potential are required to increase social work contribution.
