abstract="OBJECTIVE: This study examined the demographic, diagnostic, and service characteristics of veterans who received services for &quot;other psychological or physical stress, not elsewhere classified&quot; (ICD-9-CM V62.89) in the month following a suicide attempt. <br><br>METHODS: An electronic search of a Veterans Health Administration (VHA) suicide event reporting system identified 22,701 veterans who were survivors of a suicide attempt. Their clinical service encounter records were extracted from a VHA administrative database to identify those who received services related to V62.89. <br><br>RESULTS: Services related to V62.89 were provided to N=2,173 (9.6%) of the sample. Chaplains were the predominant service provider, identified in N=1,745 (80%) of the service encounters. Differences were noted between those who received services related to V62.89 from a chaplain or from another service provider. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: V62.89 appears to be a focus of clinical concern for some veteran suicide attempt survivors. Additional research is needed to better understand any implications for suicide &quot;postvention.&quot;<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
