This study investigates suicidal ideation and its associated factors by sex in Korean adults, focusing on health behaviors and health status.
Cross-sectional data of 6,969 adults (25-64 years) who completed the Fourth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were analyzed.
In both sexes, those who were married, had higher educational attainment or were non-smokers experienced low stress and had good self-rated health showed lower suicidal ideation. Significant factors were age for men and subjective body image and sleep time for women. In men, those aged 45-54 years showed the highest suicidal ideation rate. The effects of stress and depression on suicidal ideation were higher in men than in women.
The development of a suicide prevention program for Korean adults requires different approaches for each sex. For working men aged 45-54 years, it should focus on the management of work-related stress and depression. For women, it should be a community support program for those who are less educated, have no job or experience a great deal of stress and depression.
本研究通过性别调查韩国成年人的自杀意念及其相关因素,重点关注健康行为和健康状况。
分析了完成第四次韩国全国健康和营养检查调查的 6969 名成年人(25-64 岁)的横断面数据。
在两性中,已婚、受教育程度较高或不吸烟的人压力较小,自我健康状况良好,自杀意念较低。对男性来说,重要因素是年龄,对女性来说,重要因素是主观身体形象和睡眠时间。45-54 岁的男性自杀意念发生率最高。压力和抑郁对自杀意念的影响在男性中高于女性。
为韩国成年人制定预防自杀的计划需要针对不同性别采取不同的方法。对于 45-54 岁的在职男性,应重点管理与工作相关的压力和抑郁。对于女性,应为那些教育程度较低、没有工作或压力大、抑郁程度较高的人提供社区支持计划。
