    In postdischarge suicidal patients, does comprehensive planned discharge including identifying coping skills, including a support system, and scheduling a follow-up appointment decrease readmission within one year of discharge from the facility? This review of literature seeks to compare the influence of readmission rates between the three aforementioned elements. Each article identified at least one of the interventions and its efficacy. Unplanned discharge is defined as not including any of the three interventions. The researcher’s hypothesis is that there will be a decrease in readmission rates for suicidal patients when comprehensive discharge planning is involved.…

    Almost a year ago, psychotherapist Matthew J. Dempsey had uploaded a video onto YouTube describing a severe loss he had experienced in his life. Alex, a very close friend of his, had committed suicide. He always gave the impression of being happy, always greeting his friends with a big smile on his face, and never gave anyone the impression of what was actually going on inside of him. It wasn’t like in the movies where a person is huddled up in a corner crying, he was depressed and trying whatever he could to get back on his feet, until suicide seemed like the only option. Depression is a very serious issue because it affects school work, health, and relationships.…

    Motivational interviewing is another practice that is client centered and goal-oriented for the purpose of motivating clients for positive change (Zerler, 2009). In the crisis setting, Mental health professionals explore client’s uncertainty about life and any other component that is evident during a crisis. Clients who express suicidal ideations are usually extremely ambivalent, and have a hard time seeing the good in situations, but are able to reflect and connect with their feelings: with the assistance of a mental health professional (Zerler, 2009). Thorough assessments involve all-inclusive information gathering and “integration with age-appropriate and culturally sensitive risk management”, in which motivational interviewing allows the mental health professional to complete (Zerler, 2009). Motivation Interviewing allows mental health professionals to reflect feelings, listening, and to provide summaries, in order for the client to feel understood, and to be able to hear his or her own feelings aloud. Motivational Interviewing will be used during the psychological initial…

    Suicide risk assessments (SRA) are based on the symptoms, behaviors, and historical factors that are gathered during a mental health professional/psychiatric interview whereas suicide risk formulation (SRF) is the professional judgment which is based on interview (Silverman & Berman, 2014). In order for professional judgment to occur there needs to have been an assessment (Silverman & Berman, 2014). When dealing with screening and assessing suicide risk there needs to be a standard of care which is defined by Silverman and Berman (2014) as “duty to exercise that degree of skill and care ordinarily employed by a reasonable and prudent clinician in similar circumstances by members of the same profession” (p. 421). Two suicide risk tools are the…
