关怀卡是一种同伴适应的关怀接触，用于预防自杀，其中有自杀想法和行为的人为目前正在经历自杀想法和/或行为的同伴制作手工卡片。本研究使用的数据来自退伍军人事务医疗中心的关怀卡的可行性/可接受性研究，探讨这种类型的恢复导向的自杀预防干预的偏好。参与者是55名退伍军人，他们过去（卡片制作者，n= 21）或当前（卡片接受者，n= 34）有自杀的高风险指征。卡片制作者参加了为期3个月的每周60至120分钟的小组治疗，以创建卡片。这些卡片的接收者在6个月内每月都会收到这些卡片。干预后收集调查和访谈资料。语用分析的访谈结果显示，参与长度，卡的内容和频率，组格式，和可访问性的偏好。在卡片制作者（76.2%-85.7%）和卡片接受者（94.1%）中，大多数人建议为以前或目前正在与心理健康问题作斗争的退伍军人提供这种干预。超过60%的制卡者希望收到卡片，52.9%的收卡者希望制作卡片。这些数据进一步支持生活经验的声音在干预发展的重要性。关怀卡，一种专门关注改善幸福感，创造意义和实现个人生活的干预措施，将退伍军人的偏好视为未来实施以恢复为导向的自杀预防方法的突出因素。
Caring Cards is a peer adaptation of caring contacts for suicide prevention in which people with lived experience of suicidal thoughts and behaviors create handmade cards for peers currently experiencing suicidal thoughts and/or behaviors. The present study used data from a feasibility/acceptability study of Caring Cards at a Veterans Affairs Medical Center to explore preferences for this type of recovery-oriented suicide prevention intervention. Participants were 55 veterans with a past (card makers, n= 21) or current (card recipients, n= 34) high-risk indication for suicide. Card makers participated in a 3-month weekly 60-to 120-min group therapy to create cards. Card recipients received these cards monthly for 6 months. Survey and interview data were collected postintervention. Pragmatic analysis of interview responses revealed preferences related to participation length, card content and frequency, group formatting, and accessibility. Among both card makers (76.2%–85.7%) and card recipients (94.1%), a majority recommended offering this intervention for veterans who have previously or are currently struggling with mental health concerns. Over 60% of card makers wanted to receive cards, and 52.9% of card recipients wanted to make cards. These data further support the importance of lived experience voices in intervention development. Caring Cards, an intervention specifically focusing on improving well-being, meaning-making, and fulfillment in one’s life, regards veteran preferences as salient in the future implementation of a recovery-oriented approach to suicide prevention.
