TY - JOUR PY - 2024// TI - One-hour suicide prevention training makes a difference! JO - Journal of Christian nursing A1 - Lyon, Nour R. A1 - Thomas, Robi A1 - Kwasky, Andrea N. SP - 144 EP - 151 VL - 41 IS - 3 N2 - Nurses and other healthcare workers in the United States are at increased risk of suicide compared to non-healthcare workers. College students also experience high suicide risk. To impact suicide prevention in these populations, a Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR) 1-hour gatekeeper suicide prevention training program was implemented at the University of Detroit Mercy for faculty, staff, and administrators in the College of Health Professions (N = 43). Knowledge in seven areas of suicide significantly increased after the training (p <.001). Sixteen attitudes about suicide improved; however, only two showed a statistically significant change.

RESULTS support that 1-hour QPR training can be effectively implemented in a large organization.
