Summary
This study tested whether personalized, intensive nursing follow-up (by phone, home visits, or hospital consultations) after a suicide attempt could prevent another attempt or crisis in people with mood disorders. 380 participants were followed for one year. The goal was to see if this close support reduces the chance of a repeat suicide attempt, emergency hospitalization, or worsening suicidal thoughts.
