“…People who have experienced suicidal loss in social relationships perceive suicide as acceptable and are more likely to display suicide behavior (17,19). In the present study, experiencing suicide among acquaintances and permissive attitudes toward suicide were significantly related in the 2013 survey; however, permissive attitudes were not linked to these factors in the 2018 survey: In 2018, regardless of the presence of suicidal loss experience, there was a tendency to perceive suicide as acceptable compared to 2013.…”

“…Previous studies on attitudes toward suicide have mainly compared specific population groups and factors, such as country, age, sex, and bereavement (16,18,19). We previously compared attitudes toward suicide between people who had experienced the suicide of an acquaintance and those who had not (17). However, few studies have classified attitudes toward suicide among different groups and investigated the correlation of sociodemographic factors.…”

IntroductionSouth Korea has a high suicide rate, and changes in sociodemographic factors can further increase the rate. This study aims to (1) classify participants using the Attitudes toward Suicide Scale (ATTS) through latent profile analysis (LPA), (2) identify and compare the associations between sociodemographic factors with the ATTS in two survey years (2013, 2018), and (3) determine the moderating effect of survey year.MethodsSix sub-factors of the ATTS were used for LPA with a total of 2,973 participants. Sociodemographic characteristics were compared between groups, and multinomial logistic regression was conducted for each survey year. A moderation analysis was conducted with the survey year as moderator.ResultsLPA identified three groups of attitudes toward suicide: incomprehensible (10.3%), mixed (52.8%), and permissive (36.9%). The proportion of permissive attitudes increased from 2013 (32.3%) to 2018 (41.7%). Participants reporting suicidal behavior were more likely to be in the mixed and permissive groups than the incomprehensible group in both years. People reporting no religious beliefs were associated with the permissive group in the two survey years. The influence of education and income levels on groups differed by survey year.DiscussionThere were significant changes between 2013 and 2018 in attitudes toward suicide in the Korean population.

“…Individuals who experience intense grief, shame, guilt, stigma, and suffering due to suicide may think of death as a way to end their suffering and to be reunited with the deceased and they may want to die (Chakraborty and Halder 2018). The experience of loss due to suicide may increase the individual's accepting attitude towards suicide and the risk of suicide attempts (Lee et al 2022). Moreover, mourning related to suicide is an important risk factor for suicide attempts when compared to bereavement due to sudden natural causes, regardless of blood ties to the deceased (Pitman et al 2016b).…”

Suicide is defined as death that occurs as a result of deliberate self-harming behavior with the intention of ending one's life. Each suicide has many physical, economic and psychological short and long-term effects on the individual, family, friends and society. The death of an individual as a result of suicide creates a traumatic effect for family members and causes family members to experience various psychosocial problems. For this reason, it is very important to focus on the consequences of suicide in family members who have lost due to suicide, to evaluate the family's reactions to suicide, and to provide the needed psychosocial support. In this context, in this review, it is aimed to review the literature on the psychosocial problems experienced by families who have lost due to suicide and to present up-to-date information on the role of psychiatric nurse in improving the psychosocial health status of families.

BackgroundAttitudes toward suicide are essential in suicide prevention, as suicide is socio-culturally nuanced. Although the relationship between individual attitudes and suicidal behavior has been extensively studied, the effect of community attitudes—aggregated by region—on suicide mortality remains ambiguous. This study explored the association between community attitudes and real-world suicide mortality.MethodsData on attitudes toward suicide from the 2018 Korea National Suicide Survey (N = 1500) and individual mortality data from the MicroData Integrated System were obtained. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a factor structure with three factors: “Permissiveness,” “Unjustified behavior,” and “Readiness to help/Preventability.” Thirty regional units in South Korea aggregated the data for ecological analysis. We used negative binomial models to examine the association at the regional level, and stratified analysis by gender and age group was conducted.Results“Permissiveness” was associated with reduced suicide rates in a univariate model (P < 0.001). Adjusting for gender, age, and additional sociodemographics did not alter the association. Additionally, this relationship was observed in males and individuals under 60 years of age after stratification. However, “Unjustified Behavior” and “Readiness to help/Preventability” exhibited no significant association with suicide in any model or stratum.ConclusionThe observed inverse association between permissive community attitudes and suicide contradicts the findings of previous research that links permissive individual attitudes to increased suicidal behavior. Our findings suggest that attitudes may operate differently at the individual and group levels. Although the cross-sectional design and single-country focus of this study warrant further investigation, our findings indicate that attitudes are significant contextual factors in the process of suicide, which could lead to novel approaches in suicide prevention.
