Suicide preventive tools: an overview of the topic and evaluation by people with a history of suicidal ideation
Smrčková, Růžena ; Kasal, Alexandr (advisor) ; Rybová, Lucie (referee)
In the area of social media, suicide prevention needs to be improved. There are many social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. This fact indicates the growth of potential people in crisis online as users of social networks. Hand by hand with this reality goes the fact that the number of people using the internet is increasing. A significant part of social network users is formed by the age group 15 to 35 years. The second most common cause of death in the age group 15 to 29 years is suicide. This fact is also showing the value of suicide prevention improvement in the social media area. Other supporting information is that social media can provide a shield of anonymity. Therefore, anonymity affords confidence. Under this anonymity shield, the social network user can share a post with suicidal thoughts, but how can we recognise these signals with a lack of suicide prevention tools. Suicide prevention could increase its effectiveness if it focused more on social media like Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
