Geriatric Nursing, 66, 103674. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gerinurse.2025.1036740197-45721528-3984https://hdl.handle.net/11268/16423Ageism is recognized by the World Health Organization as the third most common form of discrimination globally. In middle-aged and older adults, this type of discrimination has been linked to poorer mental health outcomes and an increased risk of suicide. However, this connection remains insufficiently studied. Gaining deeper insight into how ageism contributes to suicide risk is essential to inform prevention strategies and improve care for older populations. In this context, high-fidelity clinical simulation emerges as a promising educational approach to train professionals, foster empathy, and reduce age-related biases in mental health care.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Prevención del suicidioAncianoEnseñanza Mediante Simulación de Alta Fidelidadjournal article10.1016/j.gerinurse.2025.103674open accessSuicidioAncianoInvestigación médicaGoal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all agesGoal 16: Promote just, peaceful and inclusive societies
