Abstract

Objective: To develop and validate the content of a simulation-based teaching script for the prevention of suicidal behavior in institutionalized elderly individuals, aimed at healthcare professionals and students.

Method: Methodological study developed in two stages: the construction of a structured simulation script, supported by best practices in simulation and evidence on suicide prevention among the elderly; and validation, conducted virtually by specialists in 2023, using a sociodemographic questionnaire and assessment of item adequacy within the script. Reliability analysis was carried out using the content validity index and Gwet´s First-order Agreement Coefficient.

Results: The content contributes to critical reflection, decision-making, and the development of a care plan for suicide prevention among institutionalized elderly individuals. Twelve Brazilian specialists, primarily from the Southeast, with doctoral degrees and nursing backgrounds, participated in the validation. All items in the script achieved high agreement (> 0.80) and reliability, ranging from satisfactory to good (0.743) in the general group and excellent (0.969) in the grouped analysis.

Conclusion: The script demonstrated high agreement and reliability for training healthcare professionals and students. Its integration into teaching simulations helps improve mental health knowledge, fostering preventive actions targeted at suicide among institutionalized elderly individuals.

机构老年人自杀行为的预防：模拟脚本的开发和验证。

目的：针对医疗保健专业人员和学生，开发并验证基于模拟的老年人自杀行为预防教学脚本的内容。方法：分两个阶段进行方法学研究：构建结构化模拟脚本，以模拟最佳实践和证据支持老年人自杀预防；并在2023年由专家进行虚拟验证，使用社会人口调查问卷和评估脚本中的项目充分性。采用内容效度指标和Gwet一阶一致系数进行信度分析。结果：内容有助于批判性的反思，决策，并制定护理计划预防自杀在机构的老年人。12名巴西专家，主要来自东南部，具有博士学位和护理背景，参与了验证。脚本各项目均达到较高的一致性（> 0.80）和信度，一般组为满意至良好（0.743），分组分析为优秀（0.969）。结论：该脚本具有较高的一致性和可靠性，可用于卫生专业人员和学生的培训。将其整合到教学模拟中有助于提高心理健康知识，促进针对住院老年人自杀的预防行动。
