abstract="PURPOSE: This study was done to identify and prioritize educational needs for suicide prevention competencies among 212 visiting nurses from 33 public health centers. <br><br>METHODS: Data were collected from August to October 2017 through self-administered questionnaires consisting of measures of suicide prevention competencies. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and Borich's needs assessment model to determine the priority of educational needs. <br><br>RESULTS: Visiting nurses reported that enhancing skills in suicide prevention were more significant than improving knowledge. The highest priority need was &quot;utilizing counseling skills.&quot; In addition, other educational needs were prioritized as followed by; &quot;a strategic planning approach to suicide prevention&quot;, &quot;applying therapeutic communication&quot;, &quot;showing empathy&quot;, and &quot;using resources in the community.&quot; CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that developing intervention programs to enhance counseling and strategic planning skills are needed to improve suicide prevention competencies among visiting nurses.<p /><p>Language: ko</p>",
