“…Additionally, we controlled for two socio-demographic variables susceptible to have a confounding influence, namely gender and age. Suicidal ideation has indeed been identified as more frequent in female than male gender [ 46 , 47 ], and tends to be more prevalent in older than younger age groups [ 48 , 49 ]. We transformed gender into a dummy variable, coding 0 for females and 1 for males.…”

The Interpersonal-Psychological Theory of Suicide (IPTS) has been increasingly studied over the last years, responding to the demand for a valid framework addressing suicidality. Yet, only a few studies have explored the function of personality in the IPTS and none with clinical patients. We aimed to contribute to fill this gap in investigating the relationship between personality as conceptualized by the Five-Factor Model, the IPTS constructs, and a dimensional measure of current suicidal ideation. We conducted correlation, multiple linear regression, and path analyses based on a trait-interpersonal framework in a sample of 201 individuals visiting the psychiatric emergency room of a general hospital with current suicidal ideation. Neuroticism (positively) and openness (negatively) predicted perceived burdensomeness, while neuroticism (positively) and extraversion (negatively) predicted thwarted belongingness. Higher conscientiousness and lower extraversion were both predictors of the acquired capability for suicide. However, none of the models involving path analyses with IPTS variables as mediators of the relationship between personality traits and suicidal ideation was adequately adjusted to the data. Thus, it appears that personality plays a significant albeit modest role in suicidality when considered from an IPTS perspective. As personality is frequently assessed in the clinical routine, health professionals should consider it as complementary to detect individuals at risk of or presenting suicidal ideation.

“…In comparison with youngest-old (65–79 years), middle-aged (50–64 years) reported higher suicide ideation, regardless of period and cohort effects. Middle-aged might be a period associated with economic, health and social burdens that could rise the prevalence of suicidal ideation (Jo et al ., 2017 ). In contrast, no differences were found between people aged 80 years and older and those in middle-aged.…”

Aims To investigate potential age, period and birth cohort effects in the prevalence of suicide ideation in European ageing population. Methods A total of 50 782 community-dwelling adults (aged + 50) from 20 different European countries were collected in the Survey Health Ageing and Retirement study. A multilevel logistic regression model of repeated measures was modelled to assess the effects of age and other variables, including the variability of observations over three levels: birth cohort groups, time period assessment and individual differences. Results The larger effect of variability was attributed to individual-level factors (57.8%). Youngest-old people (65–79 years) showed lower suicide ideation than middle-aged people (50–64 years). No significative differences were found for suicide ideation between middle-aged people and oldest-old (80 + years). Only 0.85% and 0.13% of the total variability of suicide ideation accounted for birth cohort and period effects, respectively. Cohorts born between 1941 and 1944 possessed the lowest estimates of suicide ideation. Conversely, suicide ideation started to rise with post-War generations and reached a significant level for people born from 1953–1957 to 1961–1964. Regarding the time period, participants assessed in 2006–2007 showed a lower likelihood of suicide ideation. The rest of the cohorts and period groups did not show any significant effect on the prevalence of suicide ideation. Conclusions Our results suggest that age and suicide ideation relationship is not linear in middle and older age. The European Baby boomers born from 50s to mid-60s might report higher suicide ideation than their ancestors. This scenario would imply a greater need for mental healthcare services for older people in the future.

“…Postmenopausal women with these conditions are likely to have lower perceived health status (Bonner et al, 2017). Poor perceived health status at the individual level significantly affected postmenopausal women’s suicidal ideation and represents a major risk factor for suicidal ideation (Jo, Jeon, & Oh, 2017). Perceived health status predicts both current and future health status (Idler & Benyamini, 1997).…”

“…Therefore, analysing secondary data using large‐scale anonymous surveys at a national level can effectively represent PPW and provide useful evidence for sensitive topics (Jo, Jeon, & Oh, 2017; Jo, Kang, Seo, Gil, & Oh, 2018). Our use of secondary national data thus serves as a comprehensive basis for national efforts to prevent suicide among PPW.…”

Accessible summary What is known on the subject? Pre‐ and postmenopausal women (PPW) experience changes in physical, psychological and social health. South‐East Asia’s female suicide rate is the highest compared with other countries, and the suicide rate of PPW in these countries continues to increase. The most influential factor in Asian women’s suicidal ideation is family conflict; specifically, if PPW in South Korea cannot express their anger, it results in a culture‐bound syndrome called “Hwa‐Byung.” However, there is a lack of research on Asian PPW. What the paper adds to existing knowledge? This study found differences in individual‐ and community‐level factors affecting suicidal ideation between pre‐ and postmenopausal women. Individual factors that commonly affected suicidal ideation were experiencing violence, stress and depression. Individual factors that affected the suicidal ideation of premenopausal women more than postmenopausal women were religious beliefs, alcohol use and chronic disease. Community level factors affecting suicidal ideation were locational depression and locational counselling for stress in premenopausal women and locational counselling for depression in postmenopausal women. What are the implications for practice? Mental health nurses could help prevent suicide by developing and applying community‐based programmes for PPW, considering the specific socio‐economic and cultural context and characteristics of Asian women. Mental health nurses could help PPW participate in programmes by preparing various interventions such as case management, personal counselling, physical activity, home‐based mental health services, cognitive behavioural therapy and digital interventions for self‐management. Mental health nurses need to prepare various methods such as online, offline, individual and group methods to work effectively in any social situation. Abstract IntroductionPre‐ and postmenopausal women (PPW) experience physical and psychological changes with hormonal changes. Among Asian middle‐aged women, family and culture affect suicidal ideation, and the suicide rate among this population is increasing. There are few existing research on suicidal ideation among Asian PPW. AimWe examined individual‐ and community‐level factors that predict suicidal ideation among PPW. MethodLarge‐scale panel data from 5,154 South Korean PPW aged 35–64 years were used in a series of multilevel logistic regression analyses to examine factors associated with suicidal ideation at individual and community levels. ResultsAmong premenopausal women, religious beliefs, alcohol use, chronic disease, experience of violence, stress and depression were individual‐level factors. Locational depression and locational counselling for stress were community‐level factors. Among postmenopausal women, experience of violence, stress, depression and perceived health status were individual level factors, and locational counselling for depression was a community level factor. DiscussionSuicidal ideation among PPW is affect...
