Using the theory of positive disintegration's 'dynamisms' to gauge retrospective suicide lived experience.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In this study, the concept of 'disintegration', as explained in the Theory of Positive Disintegration (TPD) was tested to find out whether it could be used as an indication of retrospective suicide lived experience. This study constitutes one of the first baseline of TPD level III 'dynamisms' in a sample of participant with(out) suicide lived experience. The aims of this study were to test, via an online survey, whether TPD level III disintegrative 'dynamisms' were associated with the retrospective behaviours, emotions, or thoughts of study participants with(out) suicide lived experience. Two Kruskal-Wallis median tests showed that disintegrative 'dynamisms' were (a) significantly higher in participants with suicide lived experience and (b) were higher in persons supported pharmacologically for their mental health. To investigate (a) the 'dynamisms' themselves, (b) their location (i.e., behaviour, thoughts or emotions) and how far in the past they occurred (months or years), a PERMANOVAs and non-metric multi-dimensional scaling (nMDS) based on Euclidean distances were carried out. Those multivariate analyses showed that the different level III 'dynamisms' were statistically different to each other and therefore not interchangeable. The location of 'dynamisms' mattered, and participants scored them differently for behaviour, thoughts and emotions. Unlike other 'dynamisms', 'shame' and 'guilt' elicited the same responses from participants whether the 'dynamisms' were months or years in the past, suggesting that those two 'dynamisms' may be the best candidates for counsellors to use to address disintegration and suicide prevention with their patients. Overall, the study results suggests that there is merit in using the vocabulary of TPD 'dynamisms' in suicide prevention.
