Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To explore different stakeholder perspectives on the MYPLAN app for suicide prevention safety planning.

METHODS: The study was a comparative analysis of four focus groups with Danish MYPLAN stakeholders, young users, adult users, relatives, and clinicians. The focus groups were audio recorded, transcribed, and subjected to a thematic analysis.

RESULTS: The analysis contextualised the participants' experiences of the benefits and limitations of MYPLAN. While participants believed that MYPLAN could potentially interrupt early stages of a suicidal process, clinicians' involvement in safety planning was considered important.

CONCLUSION: MYPLAN could potentially give users a sense of increased personal control, but learning how to effectively safety plan was not perceived to be simple and additional support should be considered for MYPLAN users.
