Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of the Awareness Development Programme on Suicide Prevention for Oncology Nurses on the levels of knowledge, stigma and perception of efficacy towards suicide in oncology nurses. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. At the end of the Awareness Development Programme on Suicide Prevention for Oncology Nurses applied to nurses working in the field of oncology and at the end of the 3-month follow-up, is there a difference between the knowledge levels of nurses about suicide according to the pre-programme and control group? 2.

Participants will participate the Awareness Development Programme on Suicide Prevention for Oncology Nurses. Oncology Nurses are expected to complete the pre-test, post-test and follow-up tests. Researchers will compare control group to see if effect of "the Awareness Development Programme on Suicide Prevention"
This study adds to the existing evidence on suicide prevention helpline efficacy because it tackles some of the common limitations for helpline studies. High risk individuals were not excluded from the study, since there was no human interference in deciding if the study was offered to the lifeline callers. Most of the existing studies exclude users in high risk and acute crisis situations. The study employed the callers' own ratings on a set of questions, automatically offered within the phone system immediately before and after the call to assess the immediate impact of the call and the intervention. The automatization of the self-report measures in the telephone system reduces the burden on the operators to offer the research questions without interrupting the crisis intervention and decreases the risk of bias in caller responses. The goal of this observational study is to evaluatie the Flesmish suicide prevention helpline in people who call the helpline when feeling suicidal. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Has the degree to which the caller feels in crisis subsided? (Crisis in this is seen as the subjective feeling of complete emotional upset) 2. Does the caller report feeling less suicidal? (Score on selected indicators of suicidality, particularly hopelessness, entrapment, controllability, suicidal intent and social support) 3. Is the caller satisfied with the conversation? 4. Which elements in the conversation (i.e., responders' interventions) make it more or less effective, in terms of crisis level, suicidality (indicators) and caller satisfaction? 5. Which elements of the conversation do callers name as (not) helpful during the follow-up conversation? Which elements promoted progress in this, besides merely lowering the crisis level? 6. What possible (follow-up) actions do callers see as helping to sustain and/or improve the longer-term impact of the conversation with the suicide prevention helpline? Participants are asked the fill in items before the call, immediately after the call and one to two weeks after the call.
The primary aim of this study is to design and develop a digital game that models the process of a safety planning intervention. To do so, the investigators will explore and better understand peer or student perceptions around potential warning signs, coping strategies, and seeking help among youth who may be at greater risk of suicide due to misuse of substances. Focus groups/interviews with adolescents, young adults, adults, and school-based behavioral health providers will be conducted. Findings will inform the development of a digital intervention to reduce the risk of suicide among adolescents who misuse substances. Once a prototype of the game is developed, play-test focus groups with adolescents, college-aged youth, and school-based mental health providers will be conducted to finalize the intervention. Once finalized, the investigators will conduct a pilot study with 60 adolescents aged 13-19 to assess user experience, acceptability and feasibility of the digital game.
Every month, around four thousand people fill in the anonymous self-test for suicidal thoughts on the website of the Dutch suicide prevention helpline 113 Suicide Prevention. The self-test includes the Suicidal Ideation Attributes Scale (SIDAS) and informs people about the severity of their suicidal thoughts. The vast majority (70%) of people who complete the test score higher than the cut-off point (≥ 21) for severe suicidal thoughts. Despite this, only around 10% of test-takers navigate to the webpage about contacting the helpline. In this study the investigators test an intervention that aims to reduce barriers to contacting the helpline via chat or phone. People with severe suicidal thoughts and little motivation to contact the helpline will be randomly allocated either to a brief Barrier Reduction Intervention (BRI) or care as usual, a plain advisory text. The aim of our study is two-fold: (i) to measure the effectiveness of a brief barrier reduction intervention (BRI) in the self-test motivating people with severe suicidal thoughts to contact the helpline, and (ii) to specifically evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention in increasing service utilisation by high-risk groups for suicide such as men and people of middle age.
Project WISE (Workplace Integrated Support & Education) includes developmental and pilot research to create an e-learning training in suicide safety planning enhanced with novel skill-building technologies that can be integrated into the routine workflow of nurses serving patients hospitalized for medical, surgical, or traumatic injury reasons. This study pilots an initial version of this eLearning training and collects data on the acceptability of the training and its components as well as engagement of nurses in the training. The evaluation will inform iterations of the training.
This is a pilot Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) in which 150 pharmacy staff members will be randomized to an experimental or control group and data on suicide prevention communication and secondary outcomes will be collected over the course of the RCT.
The investigators will develop a brief video-based intervention for suicide prevention, called LifePlans. LifePlans will be tested in a pilot randomized controlled trial (n = 40) to examine its feasibility and acceptability. Investigators will recruit patients admitted to a psychiatric hospital for suicidal thoughts and behaviors who will receive the intervention for 4 weeks post-discharge. Patients will be assessed at hospital baseline, 1 month post-discharge, and 6 months post-discharge.
The overarching goal of this study is to develop a suicide prevention program for sexual-and-gender-minority youth and emerging adults. After development of the intervention program, an open phase trial will be conducted to test its feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact on three intervention targets.
The objective of this study is to compare two approaches to implement an evidence-based firearm safety promotion program, S.A.F.E. Firearm, in pediatric primary care as a universal suicide prevention strategy. The first implementation approach is a prompt in the electronic health record (EHR; Nudge) reminding clinicians to a) discuss firearm storage and b) offer a free cable firearm lock during the pediatric well visit. The second implementation approach (Nudge+) includes both the EHR Nudge described above plus one year of support to the clinics in deploying the program (i.e., practice facilitation). The study also aims to identify how these strategies work and whether the S.A.F.E. Firearm program results in reduced unauthorized access to firearms by young people. The investigators hypothesize that a greater proportion of well-visits will have S.A.F.E. Firearm delivery documented in the electronic health record in Nudge+ clinics vs. Nudge clinics.
The overarching goal of this study is to develop a suicide prevention program for sexual-and-gender-minority youth and emerging adults. After development of the intervention program, a case series trial will be conducted to test the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and study methods.
