摘要

Aim

Identify studies that examined nurse suicide mortality cross-nationally, and examine the distribution of available evidence, surveillance timelines, and potential gaps in available evidence.

Subject and methods

A literature search was conducted to identify epidemiological and cohort studies that examined suicide mortality among nurses cross-nationally. In total, n = 61 studies were included, n = 40 of which were epidemiological and n = 21 of which were cohort.

Results

While n = 2 studies included nurse suicide decedents globally, the remaining studies examined nurse suicide decedents from n = 12 countries. Across the 12 countries, epidemiological data spanned from 1937 to 2021, and cohort data spanned from 1920 to 2020.

Conclusion

Improved surveillance of suicide mortality is needed, as is sustained surveillance of suicide mortality. There is a need to further examine occupation-specific suicide mortality among nurses, as there is relatively limited distribution of global evidence, data quality concerns, and substantial surveillance timeline gaps.
