[Reactions of nursing personnel to the suicide of psychiatric patients].
40 nurses (female and male) were asked to complete a semi-standardised questionnaire on their reaction patterns to the suicide of a psychiatric patient. Prominently featured was the wish to undergo better training and continuing education, the need for improved external conditions and also the wish to improve one's own knowledge and handling of own feelings of inadequacy and guilt. Psychohygiene is in need of a forum--for example, a Balint group--to process and manage self-reproaches and self-accusations.
