Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the effect of a web-based education module on the knowledge, attitudes, and ratings of willingness to access help related to suicide prevention in psychiatric-mental health nurses. METHODS: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design was employed. Registered nurses from two academic health center units and a 239-bed Psychiatric Hospital were invited to participate. Scores on knowledge of suicide risk and prevention, attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intent to seek help upon experiencing suicidal ideations were obtained before and after administering a 25-min web-based training. RESULTS: Twenty-nine participants completed the pre-survey, web-based education module, and post-survey. Significant increases from baseline in the scores on knowledge, attitudes, subjective norms, and intentions related to help-seeking behaviors for nurse suicide prevention were noted. Perceived behavioral control median scores increased but were not statistically significant. More than 40% of the participants reported having experienced suicidal thoughts. CONCLUSIONS: Further study is needed to determine contributors to this higher rate. Understanding the effectiveness of strategies to reduce nurse suicide can provide insights into building better nurse suicide prevention programs.

以精神科心理健康护士对预防自杀的认识、态度和保健行为为重点的试点研究。

目的：本试验性研究旨在评估基于网络的教育模块对精神科-心理健康护士预防自杀的相关知识、态度和求助意愿的影响。方法：采用准实验性的前测-后测设计。邀请了来自两个学术健康中心单位和一家拥有 239 张床位的精神病医院的注册护士参加。在进行 25 分钟的网络培训前后，对自杀风险和预防知识、态度、主观规范、感知行为控制以及出现自杀意念时的求助意向进行评分。结果：29 名参与者完成了前期调查、网络教育模块和后期调查。与基线相比，与护士自杀预防求助行为相关的知识、态度、主观规范和意向的得分均有显著提高。感知行为控制中位数得分有所提高，但无统计学意义。超过 40% 的参与者表示有过自杀念头。结论：需要进一步研究以确定导致这一较高比率的原因。了解减少护士自杀策略的有效性可以为制定更好的护士自杀预防计划提供启示。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
