Objective
Adolescent suicide is one of the most pressing public health challenges and requires innovative and culturally adapted interventions. The present study aimed to examine the feasibility of the “Pure Farm” writing-based intervention package from the perspective of mental health professionals and social workers involved in post–suicide attempt intervention services.
Methods
This descriptive–comparative study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, the Shelani Feasibility Scale was completed by 11 mental health specialists. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, and Tukey HSD post-hoc tests. In the second phase, 18 social workers engaged in post–suicide attempt helpline services completed the 9-item WHO Feasibility Checklist.
Results
Findings from the Shalani Scale indicated that the proposed package was generally rated as “moderately to highly feasible” (M = 3.30, SD = 0.70). The highest mean scores were observed for the subscales of acceptability and suitability (3.50) and generalizability (3.47), while the lowest mean score was related to resources and implementation (2.95). The ANOVA test showed a significant difference among professional groups (F (2,8) = 70.54, p < 0.001); psychiatrists rated the package lower compared to psychologists and other specialists. In the checklist phase, the overall mean score was 3.98 (SD = 0.59), and 77.8% of respondents agreed with the proposed package in the overall judgment item.
Conclusion
The “Pure Farm” package was perceived by professionals and social workers as acceptable, culturally appropriate, and generalizable. However, for successful implementation, attention to resources, facilitator training, and institutional support will be essential. The findings can serve as a foundation for designing future intervention and effectiveness studies in the field of adolescent suicide prevention in Iran.
