“…Regarding its reliability, the Cronbach's alpha was 0.84. To measure self-neglect among the elderly, the Self-Neglect Scale for older adults was used; 33 the Cronbach's alpha was 0.88. To measure self-compassion, the Korean version of the Self-Compassion Scale 34 was used; its Cronbach's alpha was 0.72.…”

Background Suicide is a serious social problem among older adults. However, little is known about how multidimensional factors affect suicide of older adults. Aims We classify the multidimensional suicidal risk types of older adults based on their characteristics and identify differences in suicidal ideation. Method Data were obtained via a nationwide online survey targeting 612 older adults over the age of 55 years. A latent profile analysis identified three profiles, one of which represented the optimal situation for these adults. Results We identified three distinct multidimensional suicidal risk types in older adults: high-risk predicament (24.5%), moderate-risk predicament (57.7%) and abundant internal/external resources (17.8%). In particular, depression, a major risk factor for suicide, was found together with self-neglect in each group. Multiple regression analysis showed that older adults in the moderate-risk predicament and high-risk predicament groups were more likely to have suicidal ideation than those in the abundant internal/external resources group. Conclusions Our findings suggest that co-occurrence of depression and self-neglect represents a suicide risk pattern in high-risk older individuals. Therefore, local communities need to urgently screen and provide interventions for such older adults and strengthen their capacity for multidimensional aspects of life to prevent suicide in the long term.

“…The scale developed by Park and Kim (2015) was used to measure elder self-neglect in the latent profile analysis. The scale consisted of 14 questions that were to be answered through 4-point Likerttype responses ranging from "Not at all (1)" to "Very much (4).…”

“…In this way, self-neglect is divided in different ways depending on the researcher; however, factors influencing elder self-neglect is commonly classified into individual and social-environmental factors. In this study, based on the aforementioned categories, selfneglect was classified into four domains: daily life managementincluding physical and medical neglect (e.g., health, function, and nutrition management) -, hygiene related to personal cleanliness and environmental neglect, financial management corresponding to economic neglect, and relationshipincluding isolation and neglect experienced in social relationships (e.g., family, friends, acquaintances) (Park & Kim, 2015). The SSS, CARE, and AGSS scales are being utilized as measures for the clinical diagnosis of self-neglect.…”

“…However, AGSS has the limitation of requiring expert evaluation since it incorporates both observational and self-report data in scoring. The self-neglect scale by Park & Kim (2015), used in this study, has a characteristic of primarily serving as a screening tool rather than a diagnostic tool for self-neglect, unlike other scales. This characteristic enables its advantageous utilization in the context of community-dwelling older adults in this study.…”

The issue of self-neglect among older adults is receiving attention in modern societies where aging is accelerating. To help expand our understanding of this phenomenon, this study identified its different types using latent profile analysis and verified the main variables that distinguish these types from each other. The three profiles that were identified are high self-neglect (HSN: 28.8%), low self-neglect (LSN: 35.6%), and poor personal hygiene (PPH: 35.6%). Interestingly, PPH showed a high rate and was identified as a noticeable type of elder self-neglect. Gender, age group, SES, support size, and suicidal ideation were significant in classifying the types of self-neglect. Men were more likely to be within the HSN group, and late elderly were more likely to be within the PPH group. The higher SES and social support, the higher the probability of being within the LSN group. The higher the suicidal ideation, the higher the possibility of falling under the HSN group. To reduce self-neglect among older adults, this study suggests to older adults vulnerable to self-neglect, expansion of the social support available to them, and provision of mental health services to this population.
