Description

Nurses are often the initial provider of treatment and care to persons who self-harm. However, research suggests that the attitudes and perceptions of nurses towards people who self-harm is quite negative. This project aims to investigate and understand the experiences of nurses at Cairns Hospital who have treated persons that have self-harmed to inform the development of a potential future education intervention.
