“…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.…”

“…A national level sample for big data analysis can analyse vast amounts of unconnected individual data points through a given population to predict suicide-related behaviours (Hardy & Maurushat, 2017).

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...
