Study Summary

Working with patients at risk for suicide is highly stressful for clinicians and often elicits powerful negative emotional responses that may adversely affect suicidal outcomes. A proposed explanation has been that negative emotional responses may result in less empathic communication and unwitting rejection of the patient, which is liable to damage therapeutic alliance. Thus, there is a need for clinician training in effective management of negative emotions towards suicidal patients, which can result in tangible improvement in suicidal outcomes. The training must be web-based, scalable and easy to disseminate, making it available to clinicians everywhere. In this project, the study team will address this critical need by using Virtual Human Interaction (VHI) to train outpatient clinicians in emotional self-awareness (ESA), which includes both recognition of one's own negative emotional responses, and ability to engage in verbal empathic communication with acutely suicidal patients. The study team will conduct a prospective multisite, blinded, randomized trial comparing VHI ESA training with a Control condition, which will assess both clinician-level and patient-level outcomes in 80 outpatient clinician participants (CPs) and 400 of their participating patients (PPs). Using the same VHI scenarios, the ESA group will receive clinician-focused, comprehensive feedback in ESA, while the Control group will assess the VH's suicide risk without receiving the ESA feedback. The study team will measure efficacy of the VHI ESA training on clinicians by comparing ESA feedback and Control CPs' post-training (T2) ESA towards virtual humans, adjusting for pre-training (T1) ESA. The study team will measure the impact of the VHI ESA training on patients' suicidal outcomes by assessing the primary and secondary outcome variables in both CPs and PPs three times: at baseline (T0), after the first post-training treatment session (T3) and one-month post-training (T4).
