Background: Psychiatrists and nurses are anticipated to prevent suicide behaviour, but their limited experience and lack of knowledge of patients with suicidal attempts have influenced their perception. A significant association between health care providers' attitudes and the course of suicidal behaviour treatment. Purpose: current scientific paper aimed to assess Psychiatrists' and nurses' attitudes towards suicide and suicide attempters in Saudi Arabia. Method: Cross-sectional investigation was conducted in a Psychiatric hospital in North Saudi Arabia. A convenience sample of psychiatrists and nurses (N = 132). The response rate was 88%. The Modified Suicide Opinion Questionnaire (SOQ) was employed to evaluate psychiatrists' and nurses' attitudes toward suicide. Results: attitudes toward suicide behaviour among psychiatrists and nurses were positive. The findings of these studies demonstrate that psychiatrists and nurses held positive attitudes toward suicide in the categories of professional role, beliefs, communication and seeking attention. Also, the evidence revealed in the current paper demonstrates that psychiatrists expressed more positive attitudes toward suicidal behaviour than nursing staff. Moreover, psychiatrists and nurses who have a higher level of education recorded higher scores on the positive attitudes scale towards suicidal behaviour. Furthermore, a statistically significant difference between respondents' attitudes toward suicide behaviour and their years of experience. Finally, psychiatrists and nurses who have a personal history of suicide behaviour have more positive attitudes toward suicide ideation. Conclusion/Implication for Future Practice: Psychiatrists and nurses had favourable attitudes towards suicide attempters. Health care organizations need to provide support to professionals by exposing them to suicide prevention programs and it was expected to improve and enhance the attitudes toward suicidal behaviour. In addition, psychiatrists and nurses, when they are aware of their opinions and attitudes toward suicide behaviour, can help their patients through the expression of their own thoughts and fears, which can lead to increased com-How to cite this paper: Alshammmari, M.K.E.

“…Sampling and data collection protocol We surveyed homeowners and tenants (included for the first time in such a study as a control group) of Ottawa and Gatineau census metropolitan area (CMA) who met the following criteria: resident in a house with a basement or a house in contact with the ground for over one year. Participants were randomly selected from the residents' panel with Qualtrics, a platform frequently used in standard research studies (Farris et al 2018;Glodstein et al 2018). Participants received email invitations, along with a link to the online survey in both French and English.…”

Objectives Canadians have reason to care about indoor air quality as they spend over 90% of the time indoors. Although indoor radon causes more deaths than any other environmental hazard, only 55% of Canadians have heard of it, and of these, 6% have taken action. The gap between residents' risk awareness and adoption of actual protective behaviour presents a challenge to public health practitioners. Residents' perception of the risk should inform health communication that targets motivation for action. In Canada, research about the public perception of radon health risk is lacking. The aim of this study was to describe residents' perceptions of radon health risks and, applying a theoretical lens, evaluate how perceptions correlate with protection behaviours. Methods We conducted a mixed online and face-to-face survey (N = 557) with both homeowners and tenants in Ottawa-Gatineau census metropolitan area. Descriptive, correlation, and regression analyses addressed the research questions. Results Compared to the gravity of the risk, public perception remained low. While 32% of residents expressed some concern about radon health risk, 12% of them tested and only 3% mitigated their homes for radon. Residents' perceptions of the probability and severity of the risk, social influence, care for children, and smoking in home correlated significantly with their intention to test; these factors also predicted their behaviours for testing and mitigation. Conclusion Health risk communication programs need to consider the affective aspects of risk perception in addition to rational cognition to improve protection behaviours. A qualitative study can explore the reasons behind the gap between testing and mitigation. Résumé Objectifs Les Canadiens ont de bonnes raisons de se préoccuper de la qualité de l'air intérieur, car ils passent plus de 90 % de leur temps à l'intérieur. Bien que le radon domiciliaire (RD) cause plus de décès que tout autre risques environnementaux, seulement 55 % des Canadiens en ont déjà entendu parler, et d'entre eux seulement 6 % ont pris des mesures concrètes pour l'éradiquer. L'écart entre la sensibilisation aux risques et la prise de mesures de protection réelles par les résidents constitue un défi pour les professionnels de la santé publique. La perception des résidents face aux risques associés au RD devrait guider la communication en matière de santé pour cibler la motivation. Au Canada, très peu d'études portant sur les perceptions de la population face aux risques associés au RD ont été réalisées. Le but de cette étude est de décrire les perceptions qu'entretiennent

“…Similarly, it is important to identify and implement effective responses. The literature indicates that suicide interventions require improvement, 24,27 and consideration is needed regarding ways to enhance readiness to respond to people at risk of suicide and self‐harm 6,28 . In any case, to manage risk and safeguard staff, it was suggested that one nominated evidence‐based psychosocial assessment should be utilized, to ensure comprehensive assessment and uniformity of practice, while also taking into account individual need.…”

Purpose To explore healthcare staff's knowledge and awareness of, and responses to, suicide and self‐harm. Design and Methods A qualitative design was adopted, and data were collected using a “World Café” approach (n = 143 participants), in addition to written submissions (n = 10). Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Findings There was variation relating to awareness of and responses to suicide and self‐harm. Participants highlighted the need for further staff education and training, and a review of standardized assessment tools and referral processes. Practice Implications Tailored training and education resources are required for healthcare staff. Clear protocols for assessing, treating, and referring people deemed at risk of suicide and self‐harm are needed.
