NURSES ARE SUICIDING AT ALARMINGLY HIGH RATES, an undocumented mental health crisis that has increased exponentially due to #Covid-19. Heartbreaking

High nurse suicide risk gone ‘unaddressed for years’

Urgent calls have been made for action to support nurse wellbeing after a new study in the US confirmed suicide rates among this professional group are higher than the general population.

The researchers from University of California San Diego’s department of nursing and school of medicine warned that the problem of nurse suicide has gone "unaddressed for years".

The findings, published in the journal WORLDviews on Evidence-based Nursing, found both female and male nurses in the US appeared to be a greater risk of suicide than other people.

In the first national study of its size, the research team looked at data from Centers for Disease Control’s National Violent Death Reporting System from 2005 to 2016.

“We found that male and female nurses are at higher risk for suicide, confirming our previous studies,” said lead author and nurse researcher Judy Davidson.

“Female nurses have been at greater risk since 2005 and males since 2011. Unexpectedly, the data does not reflect a rise in suicide but rather that nurse suicide has been unaddressed for years,” she added.

Co-author Sidney Zisook, professor of psychiatry at the University of California San Diego, said the research showed overdosing on medicinal drugs was the most common suicide method among female nurses.

The use of firearms was most common among male nurses who took their own lives, and this was a rising trend among female nurses, he added.

“Given these results, suicide prevention programmes are needed,” said Professor Zisook.

The University of California San Diego has tested a suicide prevention programme that has helped many nurses, according to researchers.

The Healer Education Assessment and Referral (HEAR) scheme provides education on suicide risk factors and screening in order to identify clinicians who may have untreated depression or be at risk of suicide
