다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this research is to apply about reformative measures of the elderly suicide prevention in Korea Chapter one raises the necessity of reformative measures of elderly suicide in Korea. The rates and numbers of elderly suicide in Korea have increased since 1988. This indicates the seriousness of the problems with which the elderly are faced. So many late-life problems may push older people to the point of taking their own lives.
Those in unbearable situations may call out for help, try to cope in various ways, or even commit suicide. Because it is widely believed that suicide among the elderly can be understood as a personal solution to late-life problems in old age, the elderly suicides seem to be an appropriate indicator in estimating the seriousness of late-life problems. A comparison of the history of suicide research in korea with other populations shows that several late-life problems have been found to place the eldery at risk for suicidal behaviors.
Chapter two explains the concept of elderly suicide and analyze the present situation of elderly suicide.
Research has identified such problems as financial insecurity, retirement, loss of social roles, physical illness, lack of social supports, and loneliness as the problems that increase the incidence of suicidal behavior. Though it is difficult for us to explain and understand the phenomenon of elderly suicide because of its complexity, we need to ascertain problems and social conditions behind suicides. It is also recommended that we prepare for some appropriate policy-tasks in light of social welfare for the aged, through examination of the phenomenon. Theoretical orientations based on sociological, and psychological perspectives are used to explain elderly suicide. From the standpoints of social integration theory and exchange theory, this study examines the relationship between late-life problems and suicide. These two may have been fruitfully employed in conjunction with each other Chapter three makes a model for elderly suicide prevention. The model is composed of universal prevention, selective prevention and indicated prevention for elderly suicide.
Chapter four conc1udes the study of elderly suicide. This study would identify urgent late-life problems related to the elderly suicide rate and suggested the relevant policies for Korean elders.
Sometime in the near future, the government should be required to provide social welfare programs for the elderly, particularly for those at risk for increasing suicidal behaviors.
