Suicide notes are essential for investigating the psychological state of suicide victimsand establishing suicide prevention programs. Since only a few studies haveattempted to identify the causes of suicidal behavior through suicide notes, it would beworth examining suicide notes. Quantitative research on suicide has offered a limitedunderstanding of suicide. Results showed that the suicide victims had used the suicidenote as a tool for their last communication. Further, in addition to neutral contentssuch as directions for funeral, the note often contained information about precipitatingevents that caused the suicidal ideation. Writing a suicide note seemed to help the victimsconsider concrete plans for suicide.

Based on theseresults, several suggestions for suicide prevention programs were discussed.
