Sammanfattning
Older adults are at higher risk of dying by suicide than younger
age groups, particularly where a previous attempt has been made.
The aim of this study was to identify and review quantitative and
qualitative research studies of attempted suicide in older people
published between 2005 and 2014. Of the 128 relevant studies i
dentified23 were included for review. Content analysis was employed
to extend conceptually the interaction between biological, psychological
and social factors in the context of the suicidal process. The
perspectives of older people who have survived a suicide attempt
are critically needed to inform future prevention and intervention
strategies, specific to the sociocultural frameworks within which they
operate.
