ABSTRACT

Introduction: The World Health Organization (WHO) defines suicide as a deliberately initiated act, which is carried out by a person in full knowledge or prediction of its tragic outcome.
Objective: Carry out an educational intervention to assess nursing staff’s knowledge about suicide.
Methods: An educational intervention was carried out, applying an evaluation to the nursing staff before and after it.The universe consisted of 63 female nurses from family doctor-andnurse offices, and from other centers where people are admitted. A sample of 20 nurses, from those health areas where there was a greater incidence of suicide attempt, was selected.
Results: At the beginning, only 80% of the nursing staff answered the definition of suicide correctly, and 30% had incorrect answers as far as how to react to a friend’s suicidal idea is concerned. In reference to myths, 30% thinks children do not commit suicide.50% believes that those people who have had suicide attempt are tormented by spirits. Nursing staff’s knowledge before the educational intervention was 60%, and after training 80%, being a positive increase.
Conclusions: This study facilitated the nursing staff’s training about several topics related to suicidal behavior, and allowed to increase theoretical and practical knowledge by means ofcase discussions in which the nursing staff participated. Results after the intervention were evaluated as good.
