简要总结
The aim of this study is to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the Online Suicide Prevention and Intervention Training Program (Çevrimiçi İntihar Önleme ve Müdahale Eğitim Programı - ÇİÖMEP) for school counselors working in secondary education. Suicide is a major public health concern among adolescents, and school counselors play a vital role in early identification and intervention. This research uses a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design to determine if the training improves counselors' knowledge, perceived competence, and attitudes toward suicide prevention while reducing the stigma associated with suicidal behavior.

结局指标
主要结局
The Perceived Competency in Working with Suicide Behavior
时间窗: Baseline, immediately after the 2-day intervention, and 3 months post-intervention.
Assessed using the "The Suicide Intervention Competency Scale" (İntihar Davranışı ile Çalışmada Yeterlilik Algısı Ölçeği). This scale is being developed as part of this study. It measures the counselor's self-perceived competency in suicide risk assessment, intervention techniques, and crisis management. As the scale is currently in the development phase, the final score range is yet to be determined; however, higher total scores will represent a higher level of perceived competency in suicide intervention.
The Attitudes Toward Working with Suicide Behavior
时间窗: Baseline, immediately after the 2-day intervention, 3 months post-intervention.
Assessed using the "The Attitudes Toward Working with Suicide Behavior Scale" (İntihar Davranışı ile Çalışmaya Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği). This scale is being developed to evaluate the willingness and beliefs of mental health professionals regarding suicidal behavior. As the scale is in the development phase, the final score range is not yet specified; higher total scores will indicate more negative attitudes and lower willingness toward working with suicidal individuals.
次要结局
