Abstract

Risk factors for suicide in the elderly are mainly related to death of loved ones, illness and family relationships. Thus, this article analyzes the family relationships of the elderly with ideation and suicidal attempts. Made in the city of Teresina-PI, since it is among the ten municipalities with the highest rate of suicide among the elderly. It was verified that the surveyed elderly experience conflicts in family relationships, feel scorned, abandoned and rejected by relatives, reasons for which they blame themselves; they live together in a family environment, but in an isolated way, they live socially isolated and in psychic suffering, with mental disorders, which favor suicidal ideation. Thus, the researched elderly seek religiosity as ways of coping and giving meaning to life.
