Abstract:
:Despite caregivers' impact on suicidal patients' compliance with treatment and suicide prevention, little is known about mental-health professionals' perceptions of work with suicidal patients. The roles of psychiatric staff's training and supervision in the care of suicidal patients were investigated by means of a postal questionnaire sent to a random sample of 1543 psychiatric staff members. The response rates were 71% for psychiatrists and 57% for nurses and assistant nurses. The responses of 53 psychiatrists, 164 nurses and 333 assistant nurses working with suicidal patients on a regular basis were compared and analysed using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Thirty-five per cent of the assistant nurses, 43% of the nurses and 74% of the psychiatrists who worked with suicidal patients on a regular basis perceived that they were sufficiently trained for this work, while 75% of the assistant nurses, 72% of the nurses and 34% of the psychiatrists received supervision in their work with suicidal patients. In spite of receiving supervision, nursing staff who perceived that they lacked training reported uncertainties in their work with suicidal patients to a larger extent than those who perceived that their training was sufficient. Uncertainties were significantly more prevalent among nursing staff than among psychiatrists. Basic and specific training in suicidology is needed and cannot be replaced solely by supervision, since psychiatric staff often have to deal with suicidal patients in emergency situations and must be able to rely on their own skills.
