Summary

This trial will test an intervention to prevent nurse suicide. Nurses will be recruited nationally and tested with a screening & skills building program.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for registered nurses who are at moderate to high risk of suicide, as identified by the HEAR-specific interactive screening program. Nurses must self-identify as such and be recognized nationally through the American Nurses Association.

What is being tested?

The study is testing two approaches: one group will use the HEAR program alone, which screens and refers clinicians for treatment anonymously online; another group will combine HEAR with MINDBODYSTRONG©, a cognitive-behavioral intervention with eight sessions designed to reduce depression and suicidal thoughts.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves psychological interventions rather than medications, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience emotional discomfort or distress while discussing sensitive topics during sessions.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups

Active Control

Group I: mISPActive Control1 Intervention

Participants who are identified as having moderate to high risk of suicide, as identified by suicide risk on the ISP, will be contacted by a mental health counselor who will engage them through the mISP encrypted interface online. The mental health counselor will offer counseling online through encryption or on the phone. Where indicated, the mental health counselor will provide the crisis hotline, and encourage participants to use their insurance provider and/or Employee Assistance Program to obtain treatment. The mental health counselor will offer to help with referrals and will bridge high-risk participants into treatment. Participants who are not identified as having moderate to high risk of suicide will be thanked for their time.

Group II: mISP plus MINDSTRONGActive Control1 Intervention

Participants identified as having a moderate to high risk of suicide based on ISP screening will then be randomized. Participants randomized to the MINDBODYSTRONG© program (intervention) will receive the 8-session online interactive program. Reminders will be sent weekly to complete the next MINDBODYSTRONG© session and a MINDBODYSTRONG© trained coach will check in with participants by phone at baseline, weeks 3 and 5 of the on-line program to reinforce key program concepts and assess whether participants are completing the weekly skills building activities. Nurses assigned to the control group will only receive the mISP alone (aforementioned) and will be contacted for follow-up surveys.
