[Caring for suicide attempters in twelve healthcare institutions in Picardie]. / Prise en charge des suicidants dans douze établissements de santé picards.

Simple tools to help in caring for people having attempted to commit suicide are often lacking or are unsuitable. Faced with this situation, a standardised questionnaire was sent to practitioners in all public institutions in Picardie which care for suicide attempters. A real effort must be made by healthcare professionals in order to improve the care provided to these patients.
