“…This synthesis reveals that nurses value the nurse-patient relationship as an essential care tool for openly discussing suicide and delving into the needs and suffering of people with suicidal ideation. previous studies have favourably evaluated suicide prevention training for nurses with positive results on attitudes towards suicide attempts (Blair et al, 2018;Bolster et al, 2015;Botega et al, 2007).…”

Aims: To explore nurses' experiences of suicide care and to identify and synthesize the most suitable interventions for the care of people with suicidal behaviour from a nursing perspective.Design: Qualitative meta-synthesis. Data sources:Comprehensive search of five electronic databases for qualitative studies published between January 2015 and June 2019. Review methods:The PRISMA statement was used for reporting the different phases of the literature search and the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) qualitative research checklist was used as an appraisal framework. Data synthesis was conducted using Sandelowski and Barroso's method.Results: Seventeen articles met the inclusion criteria. The data analysis revealed 13 subcategories from which four main categories emerged: 'Understanding suicidal behaviour as a consequence of suffering', 'Nurses' personal distress in suicide care', 'The presence of the nurse as the axis of suicide care' and, 'Improving nurses' relational competences for a better therapeutic environment'. Conclusion:Further training of nurses on the therapeutic relationship, particularly in non-mental health care work settings, and monitoring of the emotional impact on nurses in relation to suicide is required to promote more effective prevention and care. Impact:This review provides new insights on how suicide is interpreted, the associated emotions, the way suicide is approached and proposals for improving clinical practice from the point of view of nurses. The results demonstrate that the nurse-patient relationship, ongoing assessment, and the promotion of a sense of security and hope are critical in nursing care for patients who exhibit suicidal behaviour. Consequently, to promote an effective nursing care of suicide, nurses should be provided with further training on the therapeutic relationship. Thus, health institutions do not only provide the time and space to conduct an adequate therapeutic relationship, but also, through their managers, they should supervise and address the emotional impact that is generated in nurses caring for patients who exhibit suicidal behaviour.

“…SNs have expressed feeling doubtful about their competency and needing more education about MH issues (Jönsson, Maltestam, Tops, & Garmy, 2019). While training nurses on MH topics has been shown to increase confidence and knowledge in providing MH care (Blair, Chhabra, Belonick, & Tackett, 2018; Bullock, Libbus, Lewis, & Gayer, 2002; Higson, Emery, & Jenkins, 2017), more research is needed on how increased competency influences nursing practice and outcomes. Interprofessional education is an important way in which to develop collaboration among SNs, teachers, and other school professionals (Bohnenkamp et al, 2015).…”

Suicide rates among children and adolescents have continued to rise over the past decade indicating the need for school-based suicide prevention programs. School nurses (SNs) are well positioned to assist in assessment, early identification, and intervention of at-risk students. This integrative review aimed to (1) critically examine the role of the SN in school-based suicide interventions, (2) explore potential barriers preventing the SN from participating in suicide interventions, and (3) recommend strategies to build capacity for principles of school nursing practice in suicide intervention. The National Association of School Nurses’ Framework for 21st Century School Nursing Practice was used to categorize interventions and outcomes related to suicide prevention. Findings demonstrate a lack of reported nursing interventions directly linked to student outcomes and suggest obscurity in the role of the SN. Recommendations for future research and strategies to build capacity for principles of school nursing practice are provided.

“…This contact places nurses in a prime position to provide support for suicidal patients. While appropriate evaluation and management of these patients are fundamental to preventing further suicidal behaviors (Becker & Correll, 2020; Clua-Garcia et al, 2021), nurses have reported both discomfort in caring for patients who have attempted suicide (Blair et al, 2018; Derblom et al, 2021) and skepticism regarding the preventability of suicide (Betz et al, 2018). This discomfort coupled with skepticism may be due to lack of proper training regarding suicidality and limited suicide prevention education for nurses (Betz et al, 2020; Bolster et al, 2015; Clua-Garcia et al, 2021).…”

Background: Suicidality continues to be the second leading cause of adolescent death. Nurses are in a prime position to address the emotional pain associated with adolescent suicidality but report skepticism and discomfort. Moreover, spirituality is identified as a protective factor against suicidality, yet a gap exists related to exploring spirituality within the context of the emotional pain associated with adolescent suicidality. Building awareness of adolescents’ spirituality and emotional pain associated with suicidality is essential to address nurse skepticism and discomfort. Aims: The purpose of this study was to explore young adults’ experiences of suicide attempt(s) during adolescence in the context of spirituality using a case study application of participant narratives to Minton and Antonen’s B.L.E.S.S. acronym Method: A multiple-case study design was used to provide an alternative perspective for understanding adolescent suicidality from a spiritual context. Reed’s theory of self-transcendence and the B.L.E.S.S. acronym guided the analysis and interpretation. Convenience online sampling resulted in six adult participants who provided email narratives of their adolescent experiences. Email data collection was guided by Fritz and Vandermause. Analysis of participant narratives followed the protocol of Baxter and Jack. Results: Participant’s narratives revealed self-transcendence that paralleled the five truths about emotional pain and spirituality inherent in the B.L.E.S.S. acronym. Conclusion: This case study provides nurses a guide for counteracting the barriers of skepticism and stigma to promote help-seeking behavior associated with adolescent suicidality. Further research is needed for the application of the B.L.E.S.S. acronym with other population samples.
