|
|
Purpose: This study was done to identify and prioritize educational needs for suicide prevention competencies among 212 visiting nurses from 33 public health centers.
Methods: Data were collected from August to October 2017 through self-administered questionnaires consisting of measures of suicide prevention competencies. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and Borich's needs assessment model to determine the priority of educational needs.
Results: Visiting nurses reported that enhancing skills in suicide prevention were more significant than improving knowledge. The highest priority need was ¡°utilizing counseling skills.¡± In addition, other educational needs were prioritized as followed by; ¡°a strategic planning approach to suicide prevention¡±, ¡°applying therapeutic communication¡±, ¡°showing empathy¡±, and ¡°using resources in the community.¡±
Cnclusion: The findings suggest that developing intervention programs to enhance counseling and strategic planning skills are needed to improve suicide prevention competencies among visiting nurses.
