TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Coping card usage can further reduce suicide reattempt in suicide attempter case management within 3-month intervention JO - Suicide and life-threatening behavior A1 - Wang, Ying-Chuan A1 - Hsieh, Ling-Yu A1 - Wang, Ming-Yu A1 - Chou, Cheng-Hsiang A1 - Huang, Min-Wei A1 - Ko, Huei-chen SP - 106 EP - 120 VL - 46 IS - 1 N2 - This randomized controlled trial was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of using crisis coping cards (n = 32) in the case management of suicide prevention compared with case management without the use of coping cards (n = 32) over a 3-month intervention period. The generalized estimating equation was used to examine the interaction effect between treatments and time on suicide risk, depression, anxiety, and hopelessness.

RESULTS indicated that subsequent suicidal behaviors, severity of suicide risk, depression, anxiety, and hopelessness were reduced more in the coping card intervention group compared to the case management only group. Moreover, for the survival curves of time to suicide reattempt, the coping card group showed a significantly longer time to reattempt than the case management only group at 2-month and 3-month intervention periods.
