Özet:

 In our study, it was aimed to determine the attitudes of 112 emergency health services workers towards individuals who attempted suicide. The sample of the cross-sectional and descriptive study consisted of 136 ambulance workers determined by convenient sampling method. The research data were collected between 01.10.2023 and 01.03.2024 via social media accounts using a descriptive information form including questions about some sociodemographic characteristics of the employees, individual experiences related to suicide attempts, and the Attitude scale towards attempted suicide cases for evaluating emergency medical teams ASETSA. The data were analyzed using the SPSS package program. It was determined that the majority of the participants had never thought about suicide 77 and had not attempted suicide 93.3. No significant difference was found between some socio-demographic characteristics, suicide-related experiences, and working hours of the participants and the total and sub-dimensions of the ASETSA. While the mean score of nurses was higher than emergency medical technicians and paramedics in the sub-dimension of medical assistance, no significant difference was found between the occupational groups in the total and other sub-dimensions of the ASETSA. The attitudes of healthcare providers and their training on the subject are important factors in the quality of care given to patients with suicidal behavior. In order to reduce suicide cases and develop effective intervention strategies, training on suicide management should be provided to healthcare personnel who first encounter suicide cases.

 Araştırmamızda 112 acil sağlık hizmetleri çalışanlarının intihar girişiminde bulunan bireylere yönelik tutumlarının belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı türdeki araştırmanın örneklemini uygun örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenen 136 ambulans çalışanı oluşturdu. Araştırma verileri çalışanların bazı sosyodemografik özelliklerini, intihar girişimiyle ilgili bireysel deneyimlerini sorgulayan soruların yer aldığı tanıtıcı bilgi formu ve İntihar Girişimine Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği İGYTÖ kullanılarak sosyal medya hesapları üzerinden 01.10.2023 ile 01.03.2024 tarihleri arasında toplandı. Veriler SPSS paket programı kullanılarak azanliz edildi. Katılımcıların çoğunluğunun hiç intihar etmeyi düşünmediği 77 ve intihar girişiminde bulunmadığı 93,3 belirlendi. Katılımcıların bazı sosyo-demografik özellikleri, intiharla ilgili deneyimleri ve çalışma süreleri ile İGYTÖ toplam ve alt boyutları arasında anlamlı fark bulunmadı. Hemşirelerin İGYTÖ tıbbi yardım altı boyutu puan ortalaması acil tıp teknisyenleri ve paramediklerden daha yüksekken İGYTÖ toplam ve İGYTÖ diğer alt boyutları arasında meslek grupları arasında anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmedi. İntihar davranışı olan hastalara verilen bakımın niteliğinde sağlık hizmeti sağlayıcılarının tutumları ve konuyla ilgili eğitim almış olmaları önemli bir faktördür. İntihar vakalarının azaltılması ve etkili müdahale stratejilerinin geliştirilmesi için intihar vakalarıyla ilk karşılaşan sağlık personeline intihar yönetimine ilişkin eğitim verilmesi ve olumlu tutum geliştirilmesi yararlı olabilir.
