N2  - Suicidal behaviour is a major public health problem that needs to be tackled by all  health agents including mental health nurses. AIMS: The purpose of this study was to  analyse the relationship between demographic and clinical characteristics and  different kinds of suicidal behaviour with a nurse-led suicide prevention programme. <br><br>METHODS: The design was a cross-sectional study, performed in the region of Osona  (Catalonia) in the five-year period 2013-2017. Suicidal behaviour was classified as  suicidal ideation, interrupted self-directed violence, suicide attempt or completed  suicide. <br><br>RESULTS: The sample included 753 patients (of whom 53 completed suicide)  who experienced 931 suicidal behaviour episodes. Men represented only 38.4% of the  sample but 81.1% of completed suicides. Mental disorders were associated with  suicidal behaviour in 75.4% of the sample. Two thirds (66.4%) of the individuals  (0.8% (n = 4) of whom completed suicide) were participants in a nurse-led suicidal  behaviour case management programme. <br><br>CONCLUSION: The main risk factors were being a  woman for suicidal behaviour and being a man and being older for completed suicide. Mental disorders, widowhood and retirement were also associated with completed  suicide. The completed suicide rate was lower among participants in the nurse-led  programme.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
