The aim of this study was to examine the effect of an educational intervention on nurses' knowledge defined as understanding, beliefs, and actions to be taken, regarding nurse suicide.
Between 2007 and 2018, nurses were 18% more likely to die by suicide than the general public. As a result, an assessment of nurses' knowledge regarding suicide has become an important issue for nursing administration.
A quasi-experiment (N = 225) was conducted. Variables of interest were assessed pre and post an educational intervention on 3 domains related to suicide.
Significant and meaningful differences were found regarding 2 domains of interest in nurses' understanding related to nurse suicide, and actions to be taken, pre and post intervention. A significant change occurred regarding beliefs; however, the difference was small and therefore not meaningful.
Finding demonstrate that educational interventions focused on issues related to suicide can enhance nurses' knowledge of the challenges implicit when one considers taking one's own life.
本研究旨在探讨一项教育干预措施对护士关于护士自杀的知识（定义为理解、信念及应采取的行动）的影响。
2007年至2018年间，护士自杀死亡的可能性比普通大众高18%。因此，评估护士关于自杀的知识已成为护理管理中的一个重要问题。
进行了一项准实验（N = 225）。在一项针对与自杀相关的3个领域的教育干预前后，对感兴趣的变量进行了评估。
在干预前后，发现护士在与护士自杀相关的理解以及应采取的行动这两个感兴趣的领域存在显著且有意义的差异。在信念方面发生了显著变化；然而，差异很小，因此没有意义。
研究结果表明，针对与自杀相关问题的教育干预可以增强护士对考虑自杀时隐含的挑战的认识。
