What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a safety plan implemented by emergency department nurses for patients who have recently attempted suicide. The safety plan, developed in the United States, consists of a list of personalized strategies to help individuals manage suicidal thoughts. The goal is to determine if this intervention leads to a significant reduction in the likelihood of subsequent suicide attempts within six months compared to standard care. Participants will be included in the Vigilans program, which aims to prevent suicidal recurrence.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older who have recently attempted suicide and are seen in an emergency department.
Not a fit: Patients who are hospitalized for more than 24 hours following their suicide attempt or those under protective measures may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly reduce the risk of repeated suicide attempts among at-risk individuals.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies in the United States have shown promising results with similar safety plan interventions, indicating potential for success in this context.
