Experiences of Post-event Care and Recovery Amongst Self-immolation Survivors in India: a Grounded Theory Approach

Author(s) D.Fabig, N. Savitha, P. Sharma
Country India
Abstract Self-immolation is a common method of self-harm and suicide among Indian women. There are different reasons associated with committing self-immolation, including cultural, socioeconomic, and mental health-related factors. The aim was to understand the experiences of post-event care and recovery of self-immolation women survivors in India through qualitative data. Thirteen women from Tamil Nadu provided their testimonies through semi-structured interviews. Data analysis was performed through grounded theory which involved constant comparative analysis. Four main categories emerged, including (1) Initial Reactions, which were reflective of the sociocultural context; (2) Hospital Experiences, which involved some limitation regarding empathy or competence from health care staff; (3) Mixed Support from Family, ranging from receiving full support to being blamed and shamed by their family; and (4) Support from PVCV, was overall a very positive experience during the physical and psychological recovery. Health policymakers could make efforts for educating health professionals regarding the sociocultural challenges and needs of women survivors during their post-event care and recovery.
