Raimunda Magalhães da Silva et al., « Influências dos problemas e conflitos familiares nas ideações e tentativas de suicídio de pessoas idosas », Ciência & Saúde Coletiva, ID : 10670/1.s43f0p
"Family conflicts and problems involve meanings that are constructed during the course of an existence, and become associated with other factors in manifestations of suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts in elderly people. These questions are analyzed in a qualitative study of interviews with elderly people in four different locations in Brazil. A total of 63 men and women took part, and the interviews were held in 2013 and 2014. The field data showed the following factors – in order of the importance that the interviewees gave to them: significant family losses; family and in - ter-generation conflicts; and explicit and veiled violence. The speech of the subjects showed, as elements that led them to try to end their lives: sadness; feelings of abandonment; isolation, in - comprehension of their desires by their family members, and absence of manifestations of affec - tion and/or respect. When telling their stories, they also gave clues about what they expect from their families: welcome, acceptance, comprehension and freedom to carry out their minor wishes; to end their lives in a dignified manner without suffer - ing; to find help and protection for the progressive reduction of their capacities; to continue to par - ticipate in family decisions, and to prolong to the maximum their social achievements and preroga - tives, such as property, authority and respect."
