The effects of social and psychological factors on suicidal ideation in elderly people living alone: A cross-sectional correlational study

This study suggests the importance of identifying various social resources for elderly individuals living alone and exploring supportive measures tailored to individual circumstances. By predicting social risk factors that elderly individuals may face and preventing exposure to negative psychological states, early detection and intervention may reduce suicidal ideation, ultimately contributing to integrated community care policies that enhance the quality of life for elderly individuals living alone.
