Suicide is one of the most serious social problems in Korea. We examined suicidal ideation factors among Korean youth.
For risk factor identification, data from the 2008 and 2018 Korean Youth Panel Survey were analyzed (n =6,568) using univariate multiple logistic regression analysis. Negative life events, feelings of hopelessness, early-life adversity, alcohol consumption, smoking, counseling experience, perceived stress, and current health status were independent variables, whereas suicidal ideation was the dependent variable.
Proximal (negative life events and feelings of hopelessness), distal (early-life adversities significantly influenced suicidal ideation), and health-related (alcohol consumption, counseling experience, perceived stress, and current health status) factors significantly influenced suicidal ideation among Korean youth.
Mental health professionals must include distal risk factors, along with the common proximal and health-related risk factors, to provide targeted interventions.
自杀是韩国最严重的社会问题之一。我们研究了韩国青少年的自杀意念因素。
为了识别风险因素,我们使用单变量多重逻辑回归分析,对2008年和2018年韩国青少年面板调查的数据(n = 6568)进行了分析。消极生活事件、绝望感、早年逆境、饮酒、吸烟、咨询经历、感知压力和当前健康状况为自变量,而自杀意念为因变量。
近端因素(消极生活事件和绝望感)、远端因素(早年逆境对自杀意念有显著影响)以及与健康相关的因素(饮酒、咨询经历、感知压力和当前健康状况)对韩国青少年的自杀意念有显著影响。
心理健康专业人员必须将远端风险因素以及常见的近端和与健康相关的风险因素纳入考量,以提供有针对性的干预措施。
