Background: Mental health care providers commonly encounter suicide ideation and suicidal behaviors among their patients despite a frequent lack of adequate knowledge and competence regarding suicide risk management. Aims: This study examined the associations among self-perceived sufficiency of training, self-efficacy, anxiety, and attitudes related to working with suicidal individuals. Method: Participants were 289 mental health care providers who completed a self-report survey. Results: Path analysis results indicated that perceived sufficiency of training was indirectly associated with negative attitudes (i.e., avoidance and discomfort) and cognitive and somatic anxiety about working with suicidal individuals through assessment self-efficacy. Limitations: The current study utilized cross-sectional data, and there were occupational heterogeneity and geographical homogeneity among the mental health care providers sampled. Conclusion: These findings suggest that sufficient suicide-related training focused on risk assessment may decrease mental health professionals' negative and anxious reactions toward suicidal individuals and enhance confidence in suicide risk management.

与自杀相关的培训、自我效能感和心理保健提供者对自杀者的反应。

背景：尽管经常缺乏有关自杀风险管理的足够知识和能力，但精神卫生保健提供者通常会在患者中遇到自杀意念和自杀行为。目的：本研究检验了自我感知的培训充分性、自我效能感、焦虑和与自杀个体工作相关的态度之间的关联。方法：参与者是 289 名完成自我报告调查的精神卫生保健提供者。结果：路径分析结果表明，通过评估自我效能感，感知到的训练充分性与消极态度（即回避和不适）以及与自杀者一起工作的认知和躯体焦虑间接相关。局限性：目前的研究使用了横断面数据，抽样的精神卫生保健提供者之间存在职业异质性和地域同质性。结论：这些研究结果表明，针对自杀风险评估的充分自杀相关培训可以减少心理健康专业人员对自杀个体的消极和焦虑反应，并增强对自杀风险管理的信心。
