Assessing suicide ideation among older adults: a systematic review of screening and measurement tools

“…https://doi.org/10.1017/S1041610221002659 articles included in this review (Heisel and Flett, 2016;O'Rourke et al, 2018). One article reported on the use of the 5-item World Health Organization Well-being scale as a measure of suicide ideation in older people (Awata et al, 2007), while three articles were single psychometric reports on a novel scale developed by the authors: Will to Live (Carmel, 2017); Triggers of Suicidal Ideation Inventory (TSII; Lee et al, 2017); and the Ultra-Short Suicidal Ideation Inventory (USSII; Nugent and Cummings, 2014). The final article reported on the combined use of existing scales, adapted for older adults: the Categories of Attitude Toward Death Occurrence (CADO) and the Schedule of Attitudes Toward Hastened Death -Senior (SAHD) scales (Durst et al, 2020).…”

“…The included articles represent a range of countries with three from the USA (Edelstein et al, 2009;Lutz et al, 2019;Nugent and Cummings, 2014), two from Canada (Heisel and Flett, 2016;Wadhwa and Heisel, 2019), and one each from Japan (Awata et al, 2007), Taiwan (Lee et al, 2017), Israel (Carmel, 2017), and Switzerland (Durst et al, 2020), with one further article using social media to recruit an international sample (O' Rourke et al, 2018). Measurement development and validation across the different scales were conducted with community, out-patient, and clinical samples ranging in age from 50 to 99 years.…”

“…Measurement development and validation across the different scales were conducted with community, out-patient, and clinical samples ranging in age from 50 to 99 years. Most samples were over-represented by female participants (up to three quarters in some), and all studies that included information on the ethnicity of the sample were predominantly White, apart from studies conducted with Japanese (Awata et al, 2007) and Taiwanese (Lee et al, 2017) samples. We consider the measures in light of these sampling limitations in the Discussion.…”

“…Six of the articles reviewed were based on selfreported measures (Durst et al, 2020;Edelstein et al, 2009;Heisel and Flett, 2016;Lutz et al, 2019;O'Rourke et al, 2018;Wadhwa and Heisel, 2019), three used clinician interviews and interpretation to administer the measure and score responses (Awata et al, 2007;Carmel, 2017;Nugent and Cummings, 2014), while administration was not reported for the TSII (Lee et al, 2017). A number stated the purpose of their measures were to aid clinical detection of suicide ideation or assess risk factors for suicide in older adults, while some were presented as screening tools that could be used in more general assessment of well-being, referral decisions or support needs.…”

Detecting the Cause of Depression using BECK Depression Scale among Patients

“…The health care sector, otherwise unnoticed, may specifically find the nurses as the prime victims suffering depression. Occupational stress [1], has been the culprit whereas the work pattern or the academic environment are yet to be identified as the spark-offs for depression [2] Anxiety and depression [3] are the twin sisters found in such patients. Inference drawn through TSII revealed a variance of 68.75%.…”
