Researchers are evaluating two psychological treatmentsthe Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program ASSIP and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ACTto see which is more effective in reducing suicidal thoughts and mental pain in adults who have recently attempted suicide. This randomized controlled trial includes 60 participants and aims to contribute evidence-based insights to suicide prevention strategies. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups ASSIP plus treatment as usual TAU, ACT plus TAU, or TAU only as the control group. ASSIP involves three to four face-to-face sessions lasting 60 to 90 minutes each, possibly adding a fourth session if needed. ACT uses the ACT for Life protocol over three to six sessions, averaging four to five sessions of about 60 minutes each. Treatments are delivered in outpatient health centers. Throughout the study, participants will be assessed before treatment, immediately after treatment, and one month later using the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation BSSI and the Orbach & Mikulincer Mental Pain Scale OMMP. Data analysis will use statistical methods to compare outcomes. The total study duration includes baseline assessment, treatment sessions, and follow-up to monitor changes in suicidal ideation and mental pain.
