Aim:
Several nursing studies focus on suicidal persons; yet, a synthesis of such research is unavailable. The aim of this review was to give an inclusive understanding of responses of persons at risk for suicide that guides clinical nursing practice and research.
Design:
A reflexive and iterative study design was used in this study.
Method:
A qualitative content analysis and a systematic review of literature guided the six-phase Critical Interpretive Synthesis . A sample consisting of 24 nursing studies published during 1994-2017 were included in this study.
Results:
Key concepts found were "Disengaged while fraught with affliction"; "Readiness to engage in life"; and "Engaging through caring and confirming humanity." Contextually, there are gaps in global nursing knowledge. Conceptually, three key concepts can guide the nursing practice and give an impetus for the research. Methodologically, the Critical Interpretive Synthesis served as a helpful way to summarize and synthesize a small sample size into an aggregate body of knowledge. An evidenced-based understanding of responses of persons at risk for suicide can guide nurses to ensure safety, promote hopeful recovery, and foster resilience.

Critical Region, Critical Values and Significance Level
In hypothesis testing, a sample statistic is converted to a test statistic using z, t, or chi-square distribution. A critical region is an area under the curve in probability distributions demarcated by the critical value. When the test statistic falls in this region, it suggests that the null hypothesis must be rejected. As this region contains all those values of the...
