Digital safety plan effectiveness and use : Findings from a three-month longitudinal study
Copyright © 2024. Published by Elsevier B.V..
Few studies have examined the effectiveness of self-guided smartphone apps for suicide safety planning, despite their increasing use. Participants (n = 610) were self-selected users of the Beyond Now suicide prevention safety planning app with a history of suicidal thoughts and behaviours. Surveys were completed (baseline, one and three months), safety plan content and app usage data was shared. Repeated-measures ANOVAs examined changes in suicidal ideation and suicide-related coping over three months. Multiple regression models were used to predict suicidal ideation and suicide-related coping at one- and three-month follow-ups with plan-related variables: perceived usefulness, personalised content, app use time and co-authoring of the plan with a third party. Significant reductions in suicidal ideation and increases in suicide-related coping were found over three months. Higher suicide-related coping at three months predicted lower suicidal ideation. Higher perceived usefulness and personalised content at three months were associated with higher suicide-related coping, but not suicidal ideation. App use time and co-authoring were not significantly related to suicidal ideation or suicide-related coping. Practitioners should empower clients to create safety plans with personalised (not generic) strategies that a client perceives to be useful. Such plans may strengthen beliefs about coping with suicidal ideation, which in turn reduces suicidal ideation over time.
