Psychiatric nurses should be uniquely positioned for helping to prevent firearm suicides and homicides among the mentally ill. This study assessed the prevalence of firearm injury prevention training in graduate psychiatric nursing training programs through a three-wave mail survey of program directors. Most (87%) of the directors reported that they had not seriously thought about providing firearm injury prevention training. Almost half (48%) reported they did not routinely screen patients for firearm ownership. In addition, most (66%) thought that the American Psychiatric Nurses Association (APNA) should provide curriculum guidelines regarding firearm injury prevention training. Leadership is needed by the APNA to help reduce firearm violence in the mentally ill.
精神科护士应该处于帮助预防精神病患者枪支自杀和杀人的独特位置。本研究通过对项目主管的三波邮件调查，评估了研究生精神科护理培训项目中枪支伤害预防培训的普及程度。大多数（87%）主任报告说，他们没有认真考虑提供枪支伤害预防培训。近一半（48%）的人报告说，他们没有常规地对患者进行枪支拥有情况筛查。此外，大多数（66%）的人认为美国精神科护士协会（APNA）应该提供有关枪支伤害预防培训的课程指南。APNA 需要领导力来帮助减少精神病患者中的枪支暴力。
