eLearning for Suicide Prevention

Project WISE (Workplace Integrated Support & Education) includes developmental and pilot research to create an e-learning training in suicide safety planning enhanced with novel skill-building technologies that can be integrated into the routine workflow of nurses serving patients hospitalized for medical, surgical, or traumatic injury reasons. This study pilots an initial version of this eLearning training and collects data on the acceptability of the training and its components as well as engagement of nurses in the training. The evaluation will inform iterations of the training.

The training includes a web-based didactic in suicide safety planning, interactive practice in counseling microskills with a chat bot, role-playing safety planning with a standardized patient, and reviewing automated feedback on safety planning counseling skills generated from a computer coding system.

The System Usability Scale, a self-report measure using a Likert-type rating scale, will assess acceptability of specific technologic training components. Scores range from 0-100, which higher scores indicating greater usability or acceptability.

A 4-item self-report measure created for this study will assess satisfaction with all of the training components using a Likert-type scale of 0 = Not at all satisfied to 4 = Completely satisfied.

Data is collected from the technologic platform on whether and how often participants accessed the training technologies. Engagement is indicated by participants accessing the platform using their unique login and interacting with the webpage associated with the Client Bot. The unit of measurement will be the frequency of times participants visits the Client Bot webpage.

Investigators will collect self-reported completion of the training activities using a 4-item measure. Participants will report on a sliding scale from 0-100, what percent of each training activity they believe they completed.

Participants will self-report whether or not they accessed any of the training technologies during the follow-up period.
