N2  - This paper examines death and suicidal ideation among nursing home residents in a Chinese City using a questionnaire survey data. <br><br>FINDINGS from the survey show that 17.4% of the participants have death and suicidal ideation, and the prevalence of passive and active ideation are 15.4% and 6.2% respectively. The presence of death and suicidal ideation among nursing home residents correlates with depressive symptoms, life satisfaction, and satisfaction with nursing home services. As death and suicidal feelings are risk factors for suicide, the findings imply that implementing depression prevention programmes and improving service quality of nursing homes are vital in preventing suicides among nursing home residents. © 2011 Taylor & Francis.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
