“…Although studies in various work settings, regardless of nurses' experience, considered organized and protocol-based suicide assessment important (Hu et al, 2015;Vandewalle et al, 2019aVandewalle et al, , 2019bWolf et al, 2018). Marutani et al (2016), in a study among public health nurses in the Tokyo Metropolitan area, evaluated suicides after they were committed, collecting information from the community to understand the reasons for suicide. Vedana et al (2017) performed a study set in an emergency department in Brazil, identifying that the nurses lack protocols or ways of monitoring suicide.…”

“…In two studies conducted at hospital mental health units, some nurses reported delving into patients' life histories, assessing suffering and trauma throughout the life cycle (Oliveira et al, 2017;Vandewalle et al, 2019b). In Marutani et al (2016), public health nurses promoted follow-up and commitment among the community through a web-based network of care and mutual aid with the aim of legitimizing suicide prevention.…”

“…Similarly, nurses in rural areas in Sweden proposed the use of mobile units for increased access and follow-up of patients using the telephone or telehealth system (Jansson & Graneheim, 2018). Nurses also assigned importance to the creation of a network of community care, raising the issue of suicide in the political policy portfolio (Marutani et al, 2016).…”

Aims: To explore nurses' experiences of suicide care and to identify and synthesize the most suitable interventions for the care of people with suicidal behaviour from a nursing perspective.Design: Qualitative meta-synthesis. Data sources:Comprehensive search of five electronic databases for qualitative studies published between January 2015 and June 2019. Review methods:The PRISMA statement was used for reporting the different phases of the literature search and the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) qualitative research checklist was used as an appraisal framework. Data synthesis was conducted using Sandelowski and Barroso's method.Results: Seventeen articles met the inclusion criteria. The data analysis revealed 13 subcategories from which four main categories emerged: 'Understanding suicidal behaviour as a consequence of suffering', 'Nurses' personal distress in suicide care', 'The presence of the nurse as the axis of suicide care' and, 'Improving nurses' relational competences for a better therapeutic environment'. Conclusion:Further training of nurses on the therapeutic relationship, particularly in non-mental health care work settings, and monitoring of the emotional impact on nurses in relation to suicide is required to promote more effective prevention and care. Impact:This review provides new insights on how suicide is interpreted, the associated emotions, the way suicide is approached and proposals for improving clinical practice from the point of view of nurses. The results demonstrate that the nurse-patient relationship, ongoing assessment, and the promotion of a sense of security and hope are critical in nursing care for patients who exhibit suicidal behaviour. Consequently, to promote an effective nursing care of suicide, nurses should be provided with further training on the therapeutic relationship. Thus, health institutions do not only provide the time and space to conduct an adequate therapeutic relationship, but also, through their managers, they should supervise and address the emotional impact that is generated in nurses caring for patients who exhibit suicidal behaviour.

“…The researchers reported that between 44% and 84.5% of nurses had not received information on intervention in patients at risk of suicide (Erbuto et al, 2021; Fry et al, 2019; Ramberg et al, 2016). One study revealed that nurses were forced to plan their own strategies to manage patients at risk of suicide, because they had received no training (Marutani et al, 2016). In a systematic review examining 19 intervention studies, it was found that health professionals who had received training on intervention in patients at risk of suicide had a higher level of knowledge than those who had not, that their application skills were better, and that they felt more capable at establishing communication with patients and evaluating patients (Boukouvalas et al, 2020).…”

Aims and Objectives:This study is a cross-sectional study aiming to determine the suicide literacy level of nurses and to examine the relationship between nurses' suicide literacy and certain variables.Background: Suicide literacy in nurses is a factor which affects knowledge levels.The level of suicide literacy in nurses may affect the care given to patients and the behaviour of obtaining help in relation to themselves. Methods:The study was conducted with 348 nurses between January and March 2020 at a hospital in the city of Antalya in Turkey. A personal information form and the Literacy of Suicide Scale (LOSS) were used to collect data. Descriptive statistical methods were used in data analysis. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was performed to determine the predictors of suicide literacy. The STROBE checklist was followed for this cross-sectional study. Results:The nurses' mean score on LOSS was 11.08 ± 3.92. Significant predictors of suicide literacy in nurses were being single, working in the emergency department, having previous experience in the psychiatry clinic, not having a mental illness, having suicide attempts in the family, having previously obtained information on intervention on individuals at risk of suicide and stating that their sources of information on this topic were nursing education and the Internet. These variables explained 19.8% of the variance in suicide literacy. Conclusions:The nurses' suicide literacy was at a low level. It is recommended that education programs on the care of patients at risk of suicide be set up for all nurses working in general clinics.Relevance to Clinical Practice: It is important to raise the levels of suicide literacy in nurses in order to provide better quality care to patients who are at risk of suicide. Also, raising levels of suicide literacy may strengthen nurses' behaviours in seeking help for themselves.

“…From a clinical standpoint, knitting is gaining popularity with the young [11] as part of the wider resurgence of interest in craft activities and has been reported to have significant therapeutic benefits in both healthy and patient populations [12] , [13] , [14] . As such it is likely that more people who come to surgery may have interests and skills in knitting or similar craft activities as a pastime or hobby.…”
