        Suicide is an important and priority public health problem. In the last 45 years, the suicide&#xD;
        rate in the world has increased by 60%. About 800,000 people die each year due to suicide.&#xD;
        Suicide can be prevented with timely, evidence-based, and often low-cost interventions. The&#xD;
        first places that individuals who attempt suicide apply are often the emergency departments&#xD;
        of hospitals. These individuals are then referred to intensive care units for close follow-up&#xD;
        of physical findings and treatment according to the results of the suicide attempt. Nurses&#xD;
        working in the emergency room and general intensive care unit should consider the need for&#xD;
        psychosocial support while taking precautions against the physiological consequences of&#xD;
        suicide in order for the individual to survive. In the care of an individual who has&#xD;
        attempted suicide, the nurse has responsibilities such as providing education to the patient,&#xD;
        creating a safety plan, counseling for the restriction of deadly vehicles, quick referral to&#xD;
        the necessary places, and providing contact with post-discharge care. It is a priority in the&#xD;
        care of the individual that the nurse reduces the sense of hopelessness of the individual who&#xD;
        comes with a suicide attempt, re-establishes the sense of commitment to other people,&#xD;
        increases compliance with the treatment, motivates for change, and establishes therapeutic&#xD;
        communication. In this regard, the knowledge level of healthcare professionals and nurses who&#xD;
        provide primary care to patients, and their attitudes towards suicide are important. When the&#xD;
        literature is examined, studies on the attitudes of health professionals working in the&#xD;
        emergency room toward suicide attempts have been observed, but no research has been found&#xD;
        that determines both the attitudes and stigmatization levels of intensive care and emergency&#xD;
        room nurses toward suicidal behavior. For this reason, this study was planned to determine&#xD;
        the attitudes and stigmatization levels of nurses working in the general intensive care and&#xD;
        emergency departments towards suicidal behavior.&#xD;
