[Acute mental health-caregivers speaking about Meaning in Life when assessing suicidality: a qualitative study].

Participants experience the conversation about MiL with suicidal patients as relevant. It provides information about protective factors, which contributes to the understanding of suicidality. The concept of MiL requires further operationalisation. Follow-up research into the several aspects of MiL in relation to diagnostics of suicidality is recommended.
