Background: Gatekeeper training is a promising suicide prevention strategy that is growing in popularity. Although gatekeeper training programs have been found to improve trainee knowledge, self-efficacy, and perceived skills, researchers have found that the benefit of gatekeeper training may not last over time. Aims: The purpose of this study was to identify strategies for strengthening the long-term effects of suicide prevention gatekeeper training. Method: In-depth interviews and focus groups were conducted with gatekeepers (N = 44) and data were analyzed using a qualitative research approach. Results: The results of this study suggest that posttraining interventions may be more effective if they include the following seven themes: (a) social network - connecting with other gatekeepers; (b) continued learning - further education; (c) community outreach - building awareness; (d) accessibility - convenience; (e) reminders - ongoing communication; (f) program improvement -- enhancing previous training; and (g) certification - accreditation. Conclusion: Posttraining interventions that incorporate the themes from this study offer a promising direction in which to sustain the effects of gatekeeper suicide prevention training.
守门人培训是一种很有前景的自杀预防策略，且越来越受欢迎。尽管已发现守门人培训项目能提高学员的知识、自我效能感和感知技能，但研究人员发现，守门人培训的益处可能不会长期持续。
本研究的目的是确定加强自杀预防守门人培训长期效果的策略。
对守门人（N = 44）进行了深入访谈和焦点小组讨论，并采用定性研究方法对数据进行了分析。
本研究结果表明，如果培训后干预措施包含以下七个主题，可能会更有效：（a）社交网络——与其他守门人建立联系；（b）持续学习——继续教育；（c）社区外展——提高认识；（d）可及性——便利性；（e）提醒——持续沟通；（f）项目改进——加强先前培训；（g）认证——认可。
纳入本研究主题的培训后干预措施为维持守门人自杀预防培训的效果提供了一个有前景的方向。
