Suicide prevention in the Flemish pharmacies
Introduction: In Flanders, the Flemish Pharmacists Network (VAN), in collaboration with the Flemish Centre of Expertise in Suicide Prevention (VLESP) will finish the second and final phase of the project on suicide prevention through expertise promotion in public pharmacies at the end of March 2024. This initiative is part of the third Flemish action plan in suicide prevention that aims to reduce deaths by suicide in Flanders by 10 % by 2030 comp…
An exploration of suicidal ideation and attempts, and care use and unmet need among suicide-ideators in a Belgian population study
The prevalence of suicide attempts, suicidal ideation and unmet needs among suicide-ideators is high in this Belgian sample. Mental health care need perception in suicide ideators needs further investigation
Differences in risk for suicidal ideation and suicide attempts among sexual and gender minority young adults and the moderating role of social support
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) young adults are at higher risk for suicidal ideation and attempts than heterosexual, cisgender young adults. Research concerning differences by gender identity in risk for suicidal ideation and attempts is limited. This study examined whether SGM young adults (cisgender sexual minority, genderqueer, and transgender) differed in risk for suicidal ideation and attempts and whether social support (family, heterosexu…
From research to practice
Introduction: Suicide is a major public health concern, and its prevention is complex, challenging multiple stakeholders from research, policy, and practice to work together in order to develop multi-level interventions. Since 2006, an extensive Suicide Prevention Strategy has been implemented in Flanders, Belgium, aiming to decrease the suicide rates and support everyone affected by it. Using evidence-based methods and involving multiple stakeho…
The Moderating Role of Parenting Dimensions in the Association between Traditional or Cyberbullying Victimization and Mental Health among Adolescents of Different Sexual Orientation
Cyberbullying victimization is associated with mental health problems and reported to occur more in nonheterosexual orientation youth (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and questioning (LGBQ)) than among heterosexual youth. Parental support may protect against mental health problems after being victimized, but nonsupportive parental influences may also exacerbate harm. This study investigated whether parenting dimensions (autonomy support, psychological co…
Family Belongingness Attenuates Entrapment and Buffers Its Association with Suicidal Ideation in a Sample of Dutch Sexual Minority Emerging Adults
Exploring the relative importance of work-organizational burnout risk factors in Belgian residents
Previous research has shown that residents are at risk for developing burnout. Most burnout measures focus on individual risk factors, although work-organizational-focused measures might be beneficial as well. This study analyzed the relative importance of positive and negative work-organizational stressors, according to residents themselves, with NVivo11. Eleven work-organizational themes were found with deductive reasoning and two themes, recog…
Knowledge, Self-Confidence and Attitudes towards Suicidal Patients at Emergency and Psychiatric Departments
Educational posters are used to enhance knowledge, attitudes and self-confidence of patients. Little is known on their effectiveness for educating health care professionals. As these professionals may play an important role in suicide prevention, the effects of a poster and accompanying evaluation and triage guide on knowledge, self-confidence and attitudes regarding suicidal thoughts and behaviours, were studied in a multicentre cluster randomis…
