Filter by:The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a psychotherapy (non-medication) treatment, Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Suicide Prevention, in reducing suicide ideation and attempts for people with physical disabilities.
The main objective of this project is to be able to offer a new, specific evidence-based short-term treatment method, the Suicidal Crisis Intervention (SCI), to reduce suicidality. In addition, this study aims to investigate the influence of SCI on other important aspects of suicidality (secondary goal) such as hopelessness, defeat, entrapment, and interpersonal needs.
Each year, suicide is the cause of 8,580 deaths in France, it is the second leading cause of death among 15-24 year olds. People who have made a first suicide attempt are identified as being at greater risk of repeating a suicidal gesture, particularly in the first month following the gesture . At the same time, Brief Intervention Contact (BIC) is recognized as effective in reducing suicide deaths. A new brief intervention to prevent suicidal attempts has been developed in the United States by Santley & Brown (2012) the results of its effectiveness are very encouraging. Investigators hypothesise that the implementation of a safety plan by the emergency department for suicidal patients included in the Vigilans system leads to a greater reduction in the reiteration of suicidality at 6 months compared to the usual management. Our main objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of a safety plan by the emergency department nurse before discharge from the emergency department in reducing suicidal reiteration at six months after the suicide attempt, for suicidal patients included in the Vigilans programe, compared with the Vigilans programe alone. Our secondary objectives are - Reduce the reiteration of the suicidal act at 1 month - Encourage engagement in care at 1 month and 6 months - Reduce the use of emergency departments at 1 month and 6 months due to a suicidal crisis - Decrease suicide mortality at 6 months To study the implementation of the intervention: - To measure the quality of completion, and the duration of completion of the safety plan at 1 month, and 6 months. - Assess the acceptability of the safety plan by emergency department nurses, and then by the vigilantes. - Assess the acceptability of the safety plan by patient
Suicide is a major public health concern, particularly among Veterans with serious mental illness (SMI, i.e., psychotic disorders or bipolar disorders). Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) is a well-established evidence-based practice for those with SMI that centers on identifying warning signs of mental illness, developing wellness tools for functional independence, planning for day-to-day effective living within one's community, and building an action plan to create a valued life worth living. This proposed study will refine and pilot SUicide Prevention by Peers Offering Recovery Tactics (SUPPORT), a novel integrated recovery program that is an adaptation of peer-delivered WRAP for Veterans with SMI. In SUPPORT, a Peer Specialist leads a Veteran at increased risk for suicide through recovery planning that is tailored to the Veteran's suicidal experiences with cognitive learning strategies to enhance safety plan recall and improve functioning.
Several studies agree on the increase in suicide attempts in children over the past 15 years. This trend has been aggravated by the COVID 19 pandemic. It is recognized that suicide attempts are mostly encountered in individuals with a psychiatric disorder. Serious suicide attempts, which probably better reflect the risk of completed suicide, are very poorly known and have been very little explored. They could be related to more specific and earlier psychiatric disorders or even concern children with developmental particularities that are insufficiently defined to fall under a categorical diagnosis, but which could be better understood with dimensional measurements. Better characterizing them would seem quite important given their high lethality. Indeed, a high lethality is found for half of the suicide attempts in children fewer than 12, contrasting with a moderate or low intentionality ; in children, the means used are often more violent and more lethal than in adolescents (over 12 years old): hanging, firearm, etc. The Necker-Enfants Malades hospital has a pediatric neurosurgery department as well as a specialized multidisciplinary team to care for polytraumatized children in a regional "Trauma Center" type structure. As a result, most children and adolescents in Ile-de-France who have made a violent suicide attempt are sent to the Necker hospital. Once medico-surgically stabilized, these children and adolescents are assessed by the hospital's child psychiatry team. This regional recruitment makes it possible to have an epidemiological representativeness. From this population, the investigative team proposes to better characterize the developmental profile and psychiatric disorders of children who have made a serious suicide attempt. The study also proposes to examine in detail the psycho-emotional development as well as the psychopathological characteristics of these children in order to shed light on these early and lethal acting out. The investigative team proposes in particular to use dimensional evaluations to analyze behavioral traits in more detail. To the knowledge of the child psychiatry department of the Necker Enfants Malades hospital, there is no such study to date. In addition to the question of neurodevelopmental disorders, an ancillary study will make it possible to question attachment disorders in children who have made a serious suicide attempt. In fact, a link between attachment disorders and suicidal ideation or attempted suicide has been shown in the literature. Attachment disorders correspond to an early imbalance in the bond between a child and the primary caregiver, particularly before the age of 3. Attachment relationships that do not allow a solid bond between the young child and the person occupying the maternal function may not be pathological in themselves but would be risk factors for pathologies in adolescence and adulthood, and in particular a category of so-called disorganized attachment disorders in the occurrence of dissociative symptoms.
This study is dedicated to help identify biomarkers for depression and suicide. The purpose of the study is to better understand these links to improve medical and psychiatric care in the future. This research is also to test the effects of standard treatment of depression on improvement in depressive and suicidal behavior and on biomarkers (e.g. miRNA) for these disorders.
Investigators will evaluate a group format adaptation of Brief Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Suicide (i.e., G-BCBT) on suicide ideation (Aim 1), ability to use coping strategies (Aim 2), and overall mental health (exploratory analysis). The combination of tailored means safety counseling and training in evidence-based emotion regulation and cognitive flexibility skills delivered via a 12-session group therapy treatment will decrease service members' overall suicide risk. The group format will provide opportunities to learn and practice skills, thereby enhancing self-efficacy. G-BCBT outcomes are expected to be no worse than Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) group skills training, an existing gold standard intervention that is twice the length of time as G-BCBT.
The purpose of this research study is to test a brief (6-session), empirically supported, and highly disseminable version of digital (i.e., smartphone or web-based) cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (dCBT-I), called SleepioTM, in suicidal adolescents with co-occurring insomnia during the high-risk post-hospitalization period. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among adolescents. Sleep problems, such as insomnia symptoms-the most common sleep problem in youth-may be a particularly promising treatment target to reduce suicide risk in adolescents. The investigators propose to test the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of dCBT-I in a two-site (Rutgers and Old Dominion University) pilot study trial. Adolescents, 14-18 years-old, recently hospitalized for suicide risk with co-occurring insomnia (n=20 pilot, 50% at each site), will receive dCBT-I (six weekly, 20-minute sessions) plus post-hospitalization treatment-as-usual (TAU). Adolescents will complete assessments pre-treatment, during the treatment phase including at the end of treatment, and 1-month follow-up post-treatment.
This study will test the effectiveness of a sleep-related primary suicide prevention program entitled TAILOR (Targeting Adolescent Insomnia to Lessen Overall Risk of Suicidal Behavior), which includes specific behavior-change strategies for adolescents at risk of suicidal behavior who suffer from difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep, and/or insufficient sleep.
Two interventions will be delivered virtually to American Indian/Alaska Native youth who have been hospitalized with suicidal attempt, suicidal ideation, or associated risk behaviors, including alcohol-related injury.
