Evaluation of a Suicide Prevention Education Program for School Nurses With Emphasis on Willingness to Intervene

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Abstract – Evidence-based suicide prevention training for school nurses is needed. This study was conducted to evaluate training to improve the willingness of school nurses to intervene in suicide prevention (n = 47) using the Willingness to Intervene Against Suicide Questionnaire. A significant increase was noted in two subscales between baseline and completion of intervention activities two months later: Perceived Behavioral Control (interpersonal self-efficacy, p < .001; intervention self-efficacy, p = .009; seek outside help, p < .001) and Intention (need for action, p = .004; express concern, p < .001; encourage/seek outside help, p = .002; take action, p < .001).
