The Perceived Effectiveness of a Suicide Assessment Virtual Simulation Module for Undergraduate Nursing Students

Suicidal ideation involves thoughts of attempting to harm oneself with the intent to die by suicide (Lockman& Servaty-Seib, 2016). Suicide is a growing public health concern in Canada, as more than 10 Canadians die by suicide each day (Government of Canada [GoC], 2021). Specifically, death by suicide is the second leading cause of death for students in postsecondary education (Lockman& Servaty-Seib, 2016). Nurses are often the first line of contact for individuals contemplating suicide. Therefore, nursing plays a key role in the accurate assessment of suicide risk.
