abstract="Psychiatric symptoms experienced by people with serious mental illness (SMI; schizophrenia, bipolar and other psychotic disorders) may impact suicide safety planning. This study examined safety plan self-knowledge, or an individual's own knowledge and awareness of their safety plan, in a sample of people with SMI. Participants (N = 53) with SMI at elevated risk of suicide completed a 4-session intervention that included safety plans, with one intervention group that included mobile augmentation. Self-knowledge was assessed from previous safety plans at 4-, 12- and 24-weeks. Fewer warning signs generated was correlated with greater psychiatric symptoms (r = - .306, p = .026) and suicidal ideation (r = - .298, p = .030). Fewer coping strategies generated was correlated with greater suicidal ideation (r =.- 323, p = .018). Preliminarily, there was greater self-knowledge of warning signs over time among participants in the mobile intervention. These preliminary findings highlight the relationship of safety plan self-knowledge to symptoms and suggest that mobile augmentation of safety planning may be beneficial. Trial Registration: NCT03198364.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
