Completed projects
Calculating the suicide rate for the New Zealand construction industry Gabrielle Jenkin, June Atkinson
Funded by BRANZ and NZ MATES in Construction
The proposed study aims to clarify what the true prevalence of suicide in the construction industry is, and if data allows, to calculate the industry specific suicide rate.
Acute Mental Health Facility Design: the NZ experience (2017–2020) Research Associate Professor Gabrielle Jenkin, Dr Susanna Every-Palmer, Dr Debbie Peterson, Chris Watson, Dr Evangelia Chrysikou, Professor Sunny Collings
The acute mental health ward is the modern equivalent of the old mental asylum but little is known about factors informing its design and use or the underpinning philosophy of care upon which these facilities are based and if they could benefit from improvements.
This multidisciplinary three year study will draw on perspectives from social science, psychiatry, nursing and architecture to understand the architectural design, therapeutic philosophy and social regime of the modern acute mental health unit in New Zealand.
It will examine as case studies, three acute adult psychiatric wards in New Zealand. Using multiple existing sources of data, including architects plans, briefs and grey literature and collecting new data via in-depth interviews and small focus groups with mental health consumers resident in the wards, staff and other ward users and stakeholders, the findings from this research will inform a much needed evidence base for optimal acute psychiatric facility design in NZ. This research is funded by a Marsden Fast Start.
Current suicide prevention research – Suicide inquests: interviews with NZ Coroners (2016) Research Associate Professor Gabrielle Jenkin and Professor Sunny Collings Little is known about the perspectives, experiences and decision-making processes of New Zealand coroners as they go about their business of investigating deaths by suicide and making recommendations. This study, based on interviews with NZ coroners, aims to uncover how suicide inquests are conducted in New Zealand. It will examine how coroners go about their investigations, what factors influence their decision-making and recommendations and, coroners' perspectives on these processes and suicide in general. This research is funded by a University of Otago Research Grant. For further information email gabrielle.jenkin@otago.ac.nz
The effects of change in coronial attitude and practice on suicide news reporting in NZ (2014) Research Associate Professor Gabrielle Jenkin, Principal Investigator, and Professor Sunny Collings The portrayal of suicide in the media is known to have an influence on suicide rates. Because of this, there are best practice guidelines restricting aspects of suicide reporting by the media. However, in August of 2010, the Chief Coroner suggested that there was a need to 'open up' the issue of suicide. This comment led to a controversial debate over the reporting of suicide in the media. This research will investigate this debate and assess its impact on the reporting of suicide by the New Zealand news media. This research is funded by a University of Otago Research Grant.
Understanding the mental health of sole parents Professor Sunny Collings, Principal Investigator, Research Associate Professor Gabrielle Jenkin, Dr Louise Signal and Dr Kristie Carter Sole parent families account for 30% of families with children in NZ. Research has revealed that sole parents have considerably poorer socioeconomic resources and poorer mental health than couple parent families. Recent and proposed welfare reforms are attempting to address the problems faced by sole parent families by encouraging sole parents into paid employment. However, the association between poorer mental health and sole parent status has not been investigated and little is known about the impacts of employment on this association. This research aims to untangle these associations using cross-sectional data from the Survey of Families, Income and Employment (SoFIE). This research was funded by a University of Otago Research Grant.
