EBIS component | Rationale |
---|---|
1. Psychoeducation | Obtain clinician buy-in, explain how anxiety can interfere with suicide EBP delivery, normalize clinician anxious experience, increase motivation to build insight into one’s own anxiety |
2. Assessment/hierarchy building | Identify tailored exposure practice targets that best match an individual clinician’s fears, continue to build insight into one’s own anxiety and how it may influence clinical practice |
3. Exposure practice | Provide exposure to feared outcomes to foster clinician self-efficacy in managing high-risk patients, facilitate clinician practice managing anxiety in high-risk encounters |
4. Relapse/prevention application to clinical practice | Transition “learning” about one’s ability to manage high-risk encounters to clinical practice within ongoing consultation; continue to use an exposure frame to support implementation |
