Introduction

Suicide is one of the leading causes of preventable death.

The PRISURE program is developed with a series of objectives and actions aligned with the Mental Health Strategy of the National Health System - (Spain), Strategic Plan for Mental Health and Addictions of the Community of Madrid 2022-2024 and the Prevention Plan suicide in the community of Madrid 2022-2026, based on the experience of the suicide risk prevention program developed between 2014 and 2023 at the Retiro Mental Health Center (CSM) of the Institute of Psychiatry and Mental Health of the General University Hospital Gregorio Marañón.

Objectives

Presentation of a secondary suicide prevention program in the Community of Madrid with 10 years of implementation and reinforcement of the therapeutic team in the last year.

Treatment outcomes, assessment of patients’ suicide risk progression during follow-up, referral to patient discharge, and outcome indicators in the past year are measured.

Methods

Description of the functioning of the PRISURE program and descriptive study of sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, suicidal crises, evolution and discharge referrals, of all patients treated in PRISURE. The program’s performance indicators, as well as its results, are evaluated over one year from its implementation.

Results

Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics are analyzed, including psychometric evaluation at baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after referral to PRISURE from August/2023 to August/2024. The suicide risk profile, treatment adherence, program implementation indicators and initial results are evaluated.

Conclusions

PRISURE is a comprehensive care process that includes the prevention, intervention and postvention of suicidal behavior.

It includes interventions indicated for the prevention of suicidal behavior aimed at people in whom relevant signs or symptoms that anticipate the development of a mental disorder, or biological or psychological markers that indicate a high suicidal risk, have been identified.

PRISURE encompasses a set of activities aimed at early detection and indicated prevention, support and care of suicidal behavior, as well as research and promotion of mental health.
