Study Summary
A hope box or self soothing kit is a therapeutic tool employed by clinicians with patients expressing suicidal ideation, significant distress, or otherwise at risk of suicidal or non-suicidal self harm. A "Virtual Hope Box" (VHB) takes the common hope box practice and uses smartphone features to enhance the experience. The rich multimedia features on a smartphone allow more varied options. Furthermore, these devices are already a common repository for user-generated and user-preferred media, which will allow for a highly personalized VHB that is highly portable and always available to a user in distress. We hypothesize that: 1. Patients in the (VHB) intervention condition will demonstrate pre-post reductions in 1) severity of suicidal ideation 2) ability to cope with stressors and 3) increases in perceived reasons for living 2. Patients in the intervention condition will demonstrate greater pre-post reductions in symptoms of suicidal ideation, ability to cope with stressors, and perceived reasons for living compared to patients in the (ETAU) control condition. 3. Patients and clinicians will find VHB to be beneficial and its use readily integrated into practice.
Primary Outcome
measures self-report severity of suicidal ideation during the past week using 21 items. Three factors are assessed: desire for death, preparation for suicide and actual suicide desire. This measure assess an individual's thoughts, attitudes and intentions regarding suicide. Scores could range from 0 - 48. The higher the score indicated the greater risk for suicidal ideation.
Interventions
