Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Healthcare Services Research
  • Veterans Affairs

Background:

  • Suicide attempts among veterans represent a significant public health concern.
  • Chaplaincy services are available within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare system.
  • Understanding the utilization of these services post-suicide attempt is crucial for evaluating comprehensive care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the provision and patterns of chaplaincy services for veterans after a suicide attempt.
  • To identify the timing and setting of initial chaplaincy encounters.
  • To determine the frequency of chaplaincy service engagement among survivors.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive study utilizing a system-wide VA database of suicidal behavior.
  • Identification of a cohort of 22,701 veterans who survived a suicide attempt.
  • Electronic review of VA clinical records to ascertain chaplaincy service utilization within 30 days post-attempt.

Main Results:

  • 32.8% (n=7,447) of suicide attempt survivors received chaplaincy services within 30 days.
  • The majority of first chaplaincy encounters (92.5%) occurred in inpatient settings.
  • Most initial encounters (67.6%) happened 1-7 days after the attempt, with 47.2% of users having only one encounter.

Conclusions:

  • A substantial percentage of suicide attempt survivors within VA Medical Centers engage with chaplaincy services.
  • Findings highlight the immediate and inpatient nature of initial chaplaincy support.
  • Further research is warranted to explore the therapeutic efficacy of chaplaincy for this population.
