Popis: International audience; BackgroundAttempted suicide is a major risk factor of further re-attempts and death. Self-harm behaviors are related to multiple causes explaining why it is ineffective to have a single and simple strategy to offer after the clinical assessment in reducing morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, treatment adherence is known to be especially poor in a context where social connection seems compromised and a source of pain. Effective interventions can be divided into two categories: intensive intervention programs (care at home, supported by a series of brief psychotherapy interventions) and case management programs that rely on a “stay in contact” dimension. These programs, initiated by Jerome Motto and its short letters may consist of: (1) sending letters or postcards after discharge of the ER; (2) giving a crisis card that offers a crisis telephone line and a crisis unit for hospitalization if needed, and; (3) placing a phone call at some time distance after the discharge. The aim is to enhance a “connectedness feeling” with the patient. These different strategies have proven to be even more effective in some specific subgroups, highlighting the heterogeneity of this population. Each modality of contact was well accepted and generated a positive involvement of the patients.MethodIt led to the idea of combining these different strategies in an algorithm built on the specificity of identified subgroups. A randomized controlled trial, named ALGOS was carried out in France to test this algorithm in 2011. The algorithm consisted of: (1) delivering a crisis card for first attempters; (2) giving a phone call for re-attempters to re-assess their situation between the 10th and 21st day after their discharge, and to propose a new intervention if needed, and; (3) in case of an unsuccessful call or a refusal of proposed care, sending personalized postcards for 6 months. All of this was supported with shared information to the general practitioner of the patient. This study was further adapted to routine care in 2015 in the northern departments of France, Nord and Pas-de-Calais (4.3 million people), taking the name of VigilanS. The inclusion consists of sending a form for every patient assessed after a suicide attempt in the two departments to the medical staff of VigilanS in order to provide information about the patient and the context of his suicide attempt. The algorithm has been modified in giving the crisis card to all the patients whether it is a first attempt or not. An information letter, explaining the aim of the monitoring is also given to the patient, and to his general practitioner. The calling staff is composed of 4 nurses and 4 psychologists, all trained in suicidal crisis management. They use a phone platform located in the Emergency Medical Assistance Service (SAMU) of the Nord department on a halftime basis and manage the incoming calls from the patients as well as the outgoing calls towards the patients, their relatives and their medical contacts. A set of 4 postcards (1 per month) can be sent if needed in case of an inconclusive or a failed phone call.ConclusionBuilt on a monitoring philosophy, VigilanS has further developed a real crisis case management dimension requiring enough time to insure an effective medical supervision and strong networking abilities. A specific time is also needed to take care of all the technical aspects of the organization. This program expertise, designed by Northern departments to prevent suicide, can be shared with other French or even foreign territories.; Les tentatives de suicide constituent un facteur de risque majeur de récidives et de décès. Les comportements suicidaires sont polyfactoriels et rendent inefficace une stratégie unique de prévention. L’adhésion aux soins est mauvaise dans un contexte où les liens sociaux sont souvent en souffrance. Deux catégories de programmes ont montré leur efficacité : les dispositifs d’intervention intensive et les dispositifs de veille. Ces derniers peuvent recouvrir différentes modalités : envois de courriers, remise de carte de crise comportant un numéro d’urgence, rappels téléphoniques. Un essai contrôlé randomisé, ALGOS, a combiné ces différentes stratégies dans l’algorithme suivant : délivrance d’une carte de crise pour les primosuicidants ; rappel téléphonique des non-primosuicidants 15jours après leur sortie des urgences ; envoi de cartes postales personnalisées mensuellement pendant 6 mois en cas d’échec de l’appel ; information du médecin traitant. Cette étude a été adaptée en soins courants en 2015 dans les départements du Nord et du Pas-de-Calais sous le nom de VigilanS. L’algorithme a été légèrement modifié par la remise de la carte de crise à tous. L’équipe de recontact, formée à la gestion de crise, gère tous les appels sortants et entrants vers les patients, leurs proches et leurs soignants. Un jeu de 4 cartes postales peut être envoyé en cas d’appel téléphonique non concluant. S’appuyant sur une philosophie de veille, VigilanS a développé un véritable savoir-faire de gestion de crise, nécessitant une supervision médicale constante et de solides capacités de mise en réseau.
