Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In a previous study (BUN: B6702024000090), the authors focused on identifying barriers and needs among adult men experiencing suicidal thoughts and their healthcare providers. Findings from this needs assessment indicate a demand for a training (e-learning) to equip healthcare providers with strategies for working effectively with men experiencing suicidal ideation. Additionally, the assessment among individuals with suicidal ideation identified several key recommendations and considerations which healthcare providers should incorporate into their practice. Therefore, an e-learning was developed with integrated psycho-education and the primary objective of this study is to assess how healthcare providers perceive and evaluate the developed e-learning. The findings will inform potential adjustments to enhance the e-learning as needed.

Participants will be recruited through announcements on the Flemish suicide prevention portal website (www.zelfmoord1813.be) and websites of relevant partners (i.e. VVKP, VVP, Gezond Leven, Psyché, Vivel, Logo's, CGG-SP, Domus Medica,…), as well as via social media (mainly Linkedin, Instagram and Facebook) and newsletters of the Flemish Centre of Expertise in Suicide Prevention and its relevant partner organizations.

Individuals interested in participating will be directed to register online through REDCap, where they will review and approve an informed consent form.After providing informed consent, participants will be asked to provide their email address.

The email address will be used solely for the following purposes:

\- Sending a reminder to complete the post-test questionnaire three days later. Once consent is provided, participants will be directed to the online pre-test questionnaire (see Table 1), which takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. Following the pre-test, participants will be directed to the e-learning module, which requires 30-60 minutes. At the end of the e-learning, healthcare providers will be asked to complete the post-test questionnaire, which is estimated to take 15 minutes. In case a participant does not complete the post-test, a reminder will be sent via e-mail three days later.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Gatekeeper training (e-learning)

Participants in this group (all participants) are asked to complete a questionnaire and then receive access to the online training (e-learning), after which they were asked to complete another questionnaire. In case a participant does not complete the post-test, a reminder will be sent via e-mail three days later.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Gatekeeper training (e-learning)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This training supplements existing modules for healthcare providers working with individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts (https://sp-reflex.zelfmoord1813.be/e-learning).

Specific information on working with men will be added:

* Information on suicidality among men and the importance of gender-sensitive care.
* Guidance on recognizing signs of suicidality in men and understanding gender differences in suicide-related communication.
* Insights into the impact of gender norms and socialization on suicidality and help-seeking behavior in men experiencing suicidal thoughts.
* Awareness of providers' own gender biases and the influence of societal gender norms in treating men with suicidal ideation.
* Recommendations for engaging men in treatment, with specific guidance on language and approaches for interacting with men who have suicidal thoughts.

Additionally, the e-learning will a model psychoeducation about the role of norms for men experiencing suicidal ideation.
