N2  - AIM: To examine the characteristics of physicians' and nurses' suicide attempts (SA). <br><br>METHOD: A retrospective review of 493 medical records of physicians and nurses admitted to an inpatient unit for health professionals; 36 patients had a recent SA. <br><br>RESULTS: Depression, cluster B and C personality disorders, and a history of previous SA were more prevalent in patients with a recent SA compared to those without it. Both professional groups preferred drug overdose as a suicide method. Physicians made more lethal attempts and had a history of more previous stressors than nurses. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Depression, cluster B and C personality disorders, and previous SA should be appropriately screened and treated in order to prevent SA amongst physicians and nurses.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
