Stress has been shown to enhance elderly suicidal ideation. However, the effect of mindfulness and meaning in life on the relationship between stress and suicidal ideation in Korean baby boomers are still unknown. This study investigated (a) a significant correlation between the stress, suicidal ideation, mindfulness, and meaning in life, (b) the mediating effect of mindfulness in the association between stress and suicidal ideation, and (c) the serial mediating effect of mindfulness and then meaning in life on the relationship between stress and suicidal ideation. Data were collected from 200 baby boomers (born between 1955-1963) concerning their stress, mindfulness, meaning in life, and suicidal ideation. These findings suggest that if interventions directed at baby boomers can successfully improve their mindfulness and by extension raise their meaning in life, suicidal ideation will decrease within their population.
压力已被证明会增强老年人的自杀意念。然而，正念和生活意义对韩国婴儿潮一代压力与自杀意念之间关系的影响仍不明确。本研究调查了：（a）压力、自杀意念、正念和生活意义之间的显著相关性；（b）正念在压力与自杀意念关联中的中介作用；（c）正念进而生活意义在压力与自杀意念关系中的序列中介作用。收集了200名婴儿潮一代（出生于1955年至1963年之间）关于其压力、正念、生活意义和自杀意念的数据。这些发现表明，如果针对婴儿潮一代的干预措施能够成功提高他们的正念，并进而提升他们的生活意义，那么他们群体中的自杀意念将会减少。
