Abstract
The elderly population has a significant risk of suicide when compared to any other age group. Despite this, suicide among the aged receives scant attention. Hence, identification of suicide risk factors specific to this population will help in the development of suitable prevention strategies for this group. Total of 60 Old age people were selected by non probability convenience sampling technique, 30 from Aashraya Old Age Home and 30 from Betthalsur Community Area, Bangalore, Karnataka.The tools consist ofSection –A: Socio Demographic data and section-B: Geriatric Depression Scale-Suicidal ideation. The section-B contains three positive and two negative items with the response to Yes or No. Reveals that the prevalence rate of suicidal ideation among old age residing in old age home is 90% whereas the prevalence rate of suicidal ideation among old age residing in family is 56%. The study indicated that the prevalence of suicidal ideation is more among old age people residing in old age homes in comparison with old age residing with their family members and hence it is a great matter of concern to take the necessary suicide prevention managements among old age especially who are abandoned by their family members by doing the periodical assessment of suicidal ideation.
