Suicid predstavlja značajan problem u savremenom društvu, često opterećen brojnim predrasudama koje doprinose stigmatizaciji i otežavaju preventivne aktivnosti. Iako se smatra da su psihijatri i psiholozi ključni u prevenciji, uloga zdravstvenih radnika u primarnoj zdravstvenoj zaštiti je vrlo važna, s obzirom na njihovu dostupnost i prvi kontakt sa pacijentima. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitivanje stavova, uverenja i nivoa informisanosti zdravstvenih radnika (medicinskih sestara, lekara opšte prakse i specijalista) o suicidu, kao i identifikovanje obrazovnih i profesionalnih razlika koje utiču na formiranje ovih stavova. Istraživanje je sprovedeno tokom maja 2023. godine u dva doma zdravlja u Vojvodini i u njemu je učestvovalo 216 zdravstvenih radnika. Primenjen je upitnik, konstruisan na osnovu IKAB modela, koji obuhvata tri celine: društvena uverenja o suicidu, činjenične tvrdnje i lične stavove. Rezultati ukazuju da među ispitanicima postoje brojne predrasude u vezi sa suicidalnim ponašanjem, ali i da su medicinske sestre pokazale najmanji stepen netačnih uverenja. Značajne razlike u stavovima primećene su u odnosu na profesionalni status, pri čemu lekari opšte prakse češće izražavaju rigidnije stavove. Ukupna informisanost o suicidu bila je nezadovoljavajuća, posebno u segmentu činjeničnih znanja. Rezultati ovog istraživanja su ukazali na neophodnost dodatne edukacije zdravstvenih radnika, bez obzira na profesionalni profil, kako bi se umanjile predrasude i poboljšala efikasnost u prepoznavanju i reagovanju na suicidalne rizike. Ovi nalazi mogu da pomognu u kreiranju edukativnih i preventivnih programa usmerenih na smanjenje stigme i unapređenje podrške osobama u suicidnoj krizi.
