Background: The self-report measures used in evaluations of the Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) program have tended not to detect an improvement in a broad range of suicide counseling skills from pre- to posttraining or among trainees with better skills at pretraining. Aims: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the Suicide Counseling Skills Inventory (SCSI), which included ten brief counselor-client scenarios and three counselor responses to each scenario. Method: Data were collected from several samples to develop and evaluate the SCSI. Trainee scores were subtracted from criterion expert scores to create discrepancy scores. Results: The SCSI detected an improvement in skills from pre- to posttraining across samples, including among trainees with better skills at pretraining. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were good. Limitations: The results may not generalize across different training models. Conclusion: Trainee scores were more like expert scores at posttraining. The SCSI may be useful in evaluating suicide counseling competency.

自杀咨询技能清单的验证。

背景：在“应用自杀干预技能培训”（ASIST）计划的评估中所采用的自我报告措施往往无法检测到从培训前到培训后，或在培训前技能更好的受训者中范围广泛的自杀咨询技能的改善。目的：本研究的目的是开发和验证自杀咨询技巧清单（SCSI），其中包括十个简短的咨询者-客户情景以及对每个情景的三个咨询者反应。方法：从几个样本中收集数据以开发和评估SCSI。从标准专家分数中减去学员分数，以创建差异分数。结果：SCSI检测到样本之间从培训前到培训后技能的提高，包括在培训前具有更好技能的受训者中。内部一致性和重测可靠性良好。局限性：结果可能无法在不同的培训模型中推广。结论：实习生的分数更像是培训后的专家分数。SCSI在评估自杀咨询能力方面可能很有用。
