Abstract

Current statistics emphasize the national concerns with rising veteran suicides. Advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) treat veterans in many settings, and establishing a therapeutic relationship may allow the veteran to express symptoms that lead to feelings of hopelessness, guilt, shame, and remorse. A key component is the role of the APRN in identifying those at risk, prevention, and treatment for veterans expressing symptoms that might lead to suicide. Exploring evidence-based therapeutic approaches for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder and other mental disorders is critical for APRNs treating veterans who are at risk for suicide.
