Abstract
Suicide prevention in PTSD patients must be addressed across the board in hospital settings. The problem occurs when hospitals are not adequately prepared to handle clients with this disorder. This question about PTSD and nurse preparedness has not been adequately addressed because countless individuals have lost their lives due to this condition. As a group, we did a systematic review of the literature regarding the training programs set in place in various facilities and how prepared nurses felt when dealing with PTSD patients who might be at-risk for suicide. To solve the problem, our group adapted training programs that were put in place at various hospitals to come up with a training program that will reduce the risk of suicide in clients with PTSD. Overall, the goal is to decrease the rate of suicide in PTSD patients across all hospital settings.
