Abstract
A focused educational session on suicide prevention was implemented after a gap identifying a gap in suicide training in the curriculum. Knowledge, confidence, and attitudes about identifying and managing suicide risk before and after an educational session were measured using a self-reporting questionnaire. The same questionnaire was given to a comparison group who did not attend the focused educational session. Forty-one nurse practitioner students were evaluated. There was a statistically significant improvement in all areas of focus after the education intervention. Including a focused session on suicide education can elevate the knowledge and confidence of graduating nurse practitioner students in identifying, screening, and managing those at risk for suicide.
