Background:
This study is a systematic review of literature to analyze the characteristics and effects of suicide prevention programs for the elderly.
Methods:
We systematically reviewed literature published from 2007 to 2018 in 8 domestic and foreign databases (KISS, NDSL, Koreamed, RISS, Pubmed, CINAHL, EMBASE, CENTRAL). The main search terms were ‘elderly’, ‘suicide’, ‘intervention program’, and included 8 articles matching the selection criteria in the final analysis. The program was divided into activities, counseling, and community support programs.
Results:
Most of the programs effectively reduced suicidal ideation and depression by reducing suicide risk factors and improving protective factors.
Conclusions:
As a result of the analysis, it was found that it is necessary to develop a specialized program for the prevention of suicide in the elderly considering social, environmental, personal and community characteristics.
