Healthcare professionals experience vicarious trauma and demanding workloads, which contribute to poor mental health, and are at an increased risk for suicide, (Badrfam et al., 2023; Portoghese et al., 2014; What Is Vicarious Trauma in Healthcare Professionals', 2023). Analysis of the findings showed that there are three common themes among various suicide prevention programs: peer support through normalizing conversations around mental health, staff training on how to engage in conversations about mental health and suicidal ideations, and evaluation methods to ensure appropriate and effective resources are available. To effectively address mental health challenges, a Community Readiness Assessment is needed to identify gaps and avoid one-size-fits-all programs. A Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) position with a $300,000 operating budget will allow for the implementation of comprehensive staff training programs, including QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) and ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training). Dedicated campaigns will normalize mental health discussions, increase participation, and help encourage program acceptance, addressing immediate and long-term needs. 000043422 540__ $$fCC BY 000043422 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000043422 650__ $$aSuicide Prevention$$013911 000043422 650__ $$aSuicidal Ideation$$039477 000043422 650__ $$aSuicide$$026555 000043422 650__ $$aMental Health$$022046 000043422 650__ $$aWorkload$$029191 000043422 650__ $$aHealth Personnel$$019889 000043422 6531_ $$ahealthcare 000043422 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000043422 692__ $$aDivision of Management$$041635 000043422 7001_ $$aGuffey, Adam$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000043422 7001_ $$aBeeman, Elizabeth$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000043422 7001_ $$aSchwartz, Michael$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000043422 7201_ $$aHadley, Jawanza$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$eMentor$$7Personal 000043422 8564_ $$982caf3a2-62ee-492a-9a88-f8192f0673bd$$s57969$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/43422/files/SuicidePreventionModels.ProjectAbstract_2024.pdf 000043422 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:43422$$pstudent-work 000043422 980__ $$aCapstone Abstracts in Healthcare Administration & Management 000043422 981__ $$aPublished$$b2024-06-19
