1a School of Social Work , University of Hawaii at Manoa , Honolulu , HI , USA.
Objectives:
The study examined major diatheses and stressors directly related to suicidal ideation among elderly Korean immigrants. The study also explored the significant interactions among these factors.
Method:
Data were collected from a cross-sectional survey of 220 elderly Korean immigrants (age ≥ 65) in Los Angeles County.
Results:
Using a robust hierarchical regression, the study found that neuroticism and hopelessness were significantly associated with suicidal ideation. In addition, two interaction terms - neuroticism by hopelessness and neuroticism by acculturation - were both significant predictor variables with strong explanatory power.
Conclusion:
The theoretical implications as well as the practical implications for developing and implementing late-life suicide prevention strategies are discussed.
