Nurse completion of research surveys and standardized patient role-plays over the course of a formative evaluation of a training in suicide safety planning. The study recruited nurses working with medically hospitalized patients. Recruitment occurred between November 1, 2021, and May 31, 2022. Nurses were invited to complete surveys before, after, and 6 months following the training. Nurses were invited to complete 30-minute standardized patient role-plays to assess the quality of nurses’ general counseling and safety planning skills. Role-plays were completed (1) after learning about safety planning and watching a demonstration of how to do it, (2) after practicing general counseling microskills with the simulated patient Client Bot Emily, and (3) after viewing their automated scores for the quality of their general counseling skills via Lyssn Advisor. ^aThe study ended 3 months after one of the nurses completed the posttraining survey and standardized patient, and therefore the nurse was not able to complete the 6 month follow-up survey or 6 month follow-up standardized patient.
