Summary
Pharmacy teams showed improved attitudes and preparedness for suicide prevention after completing a video e-learning program. This suicide awareness training highlights the potential value of targeted education for pharmacy staff.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacy Practice
- Public Health
- Mental Health Research
Background:
- Growing evidence supports the role of pharmacy teams in suicide prevention.
- A video e-learning module was developed by the Centre for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education (CPPE).
- The module features insights from individuals with lived and professional experience of suicide.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate changes in pharmacy staff attitudes towards suicide prevention.
- To assess the impact of a video e-learning module on preparedness for suicide prevention.
- To measure the effectiveness of targeted suicide awareness training in the pharmacy sector.
Main Methods:
- A pre- and post-training questionnaire survey was administered to pharmacy staff in England.
- Participants (n=147) completed measures on demographics, experiences, attitudes (Attitudes to Suicide Prevention scale), and preparedness.
- Paired t-tests were used to compare pre- and post-training responses.
Main Results:
- Significant improvement in attitudes towards suicide prevention was observed post-training (p < 0.0001).
- Self-reported preparedness for suicide prevention also significantly increased.
- The majority of participants worked in community pharmacy (88%), primarily as pharmacists (64%) or technicians (20%).
Conclusions:
- Pharmacy teams demonstrated enhanced attitudes and preparedness for suicide prevention following the video training.
- Suicide awareness training tailored for pharmacy professionals appears beneficial.
- Further research is needed to understand the long-term impact of such training interventions.

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Post-marketing surveillance is a critical component of pharmaceutical regulation, often uncovering unanticipated adverse drug reactions (ADRs) once a drug is widely used over an extended period.
This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.

The advent of drug therapy has profoundly shaped modern mental health care, providing targeted treatments for a range of psychological disorders. Psychotherapeutic drugs, classified into antianxiety, antidepressant, and antipsychotic medications, address symptoms across anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and schizophrenia. While these medications have transformed patient outcomes, they require careful management due to their potential side effects and limitations.

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:
