TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Psykologiskt stöd till personal på psykiatriska vårdavdelningar och retrospektiva genomgångar efter patienters självmord JO - Nordic journal of psychiatry A1 - Schulman, A.

SP - 337 EP - 343 VL - 45 IS - 5 N2 - Suicide during psychiatric care results in a complex array of reactions by the family of the patient, the remaining patients, and the staff. This article describes the development and use of a programme intending to improve the psychiatric care of suicidal patients and, in case of a suicide, to ensure the maintenance of the personnel's health. The programme consists of an educational part focusing both on the understanding of suicidal behaviour and on suicide risk judgement. If, in spite of all precautions, a suicide occurs, two staff meetings are held. Directly after the event a group session using the critical incident stress debriefing technology is held. A month later a suicide review conference ("psychologic autopsy" is performed. In the article both positive and possible negative effects of these group meetings are discussed. The programme will be finished and evaluated in 1993. © 1991 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
