Exposure to suicide in social relationships may be associated with suicidal ideation among survivors. In South Korea, which is known for having the highest suicide rate among OECD countries, exposure to suicide in social relationships can have serious consequences as social relationships are greatly emphasized in the society. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between survivors' suicidal ideation and their exposure to suicide in close relationships. Data collected through a telephone survey of a total of 1,000 men and women selected from across the nation using a stratified sampling method were analyzed. The results show that individuals who lost a family member, friend, or acquaintance in their lifetime are 4.5 times, 3.7 times, 2.2 times, respectively, more likely to have suicidal ideation in the past year compared to those without such experience. These findings suggest that special intervention for suicide survivors should be considered for those who experience suicide in close relationships.
在社会关系中接触自杀事件可能与幸存者的自杀意念有关。在以经合组织国家中自杀率最高而闻名的韩国，由于社会非常重视社会关系，在社会关系中接触自杀事件可能会产生严重后果。本研究的目的是检验幸存者的自杀意念与其在亲密关系中接触自杀事件之间的关联。对通过分层抽样方法从全国范围内选取的1000名男性和女性进行电话调查收集的数据进行了分析。结果显示，与没有此类经历的人相比，一生中失去家庭成员、朋友或熟人的个体在过去一年中出现自杀意念的可能性分别高出4.5倍、3.7倍和2.2倍。这些发现表明，对于那些在亲密关系中经历过自杀事件的人，应考虑对自杀幸存者进行特殊干预。
