dc.description.abstractThe ongoing global suicide crisis demands urgent attention, with over 720 000 lives lost annually; a stark reality demanding multifaceted intervention strategies. Compounding this issue, approximately 73% of these deaths occur within low- and middle-income countries; this disparity necessitates focused resource allocation and culturally sensitive approaches. Psychiatric nurses occupy a critical position in suicide prevention efforts, serving as frontline responders in moments of acute crisis. Existing educational methodologies, including traditional lectures and role-playing simulations, frequently fall short, however. They often fail to adequately prepare nurses for the complexities of real-world scenarios. This article investigates the potential of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) technologies into suicide prevention education for psychiatric nursing. Specifically, it explores how these technologies can enhance training through immersive simulations, personalised feedback mechanisms and advanced data analytics, aiming to strengthen capacity-building, a core pillar identified by the WHO LIVE LIFE framework. Taking a global perspective, this article considers disparities in technological access and variations in cultural perceptions of suicide across high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries; acknowledging that technological solutions must be implemented equitably and with cultural sensitivity. Critical ethical considerations, including data privacy, algorithmic bias and potential overreliance on technology, require careful consideration. To address these challenges, a resource-appropriate and culturally sensitive framework is proposed for integrating AI and VR into nursing education, with the ultimate goal of reducing global suicide rates. Recommendations are presented concerning interdisciplinary collaboration and the ethical utilisation of technology.
