目前的讨论概述了为期一学期的自杀理论、风险评估和管理研究生课程的设计和初步实施。虽然课程的结构可因应不同的考虑因素(例如目标学生组别和资源的可获得性)而调整,但我们会检讨自杀风险评估的核心能力和课程结构,并提供基于证据的应用和互动作业样本。这门课程的初步经验测试产生了一些令人鼓舞的结果,包括增加了关于自杀风险评估和管理的事实知识,并改进了客观评估学生在模拟案例片段中估计慢性和急性自杀风险的准确性。我们为在本科生和研究生培训环境中修改和测试课程提供了建议的后续步骤。
The present discussion outlines the design and initial implementation of a semester-long graduate course in suicide theory, risk assessment, and management. While the structure of the course is adaptable in light of various considerations (e.g., targeted group of students and availability of resources), we review suicide risk assessment core competencies and course structure and provide sample evidence-based applied and interactive assignments. An initial empirical test of the course yielded a number of encouraging findings, including increased factual knowledge concerning suicide risk assessment and management, and improved objectively assessed student accuracy in estimating chronic and acute suicide risk in response to a mock case vignette. We offer suggested next steps for modification and testing of the course in undergraduate and graduate training contexts.
