Call for Project Manager: SAMASTH Project
Project description
Though suicide is a major public health concern in India, self-harm patients who mostly present to state-run general hospitals are frequently discharged without a mental health assessment. There are limited mental health resources including mental health training programmes for staff at general hospitals in India. Staffs face multiple challenges like a shortage of capacity for mental health assessment and treatment. We will examine if the application of an integrated programme of self-harm registers, staff mental health training, and computer-assisted mental assessments can support general hospitals by increasing the capacity for assessment and care-planning by non-specialists (like nurses and social workers) to improve care for patients who self-harm. We will conduct this study across three state general hospitals in urban, rural, and tribal areas in South India. We will measure if our programme will increase access to mental health services by those who self-harm and reduce repetition rates, improve mental health awareness among general hospital staff and their skills in providing care for those who self-harm. Policies relevant to suicide prevention will be examined to provide policy briefs and a framework for mental health training. This project will build, strengthen, and sustain the capacity for research and training capacity in suicide research.
