Methods : Data from 72,435 participants of 2013 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Based Survey were analyzed. Statistical analyses were conducted on weighted data using SPSS 21 software to account for the complex sampling designs. Results : Complex samples logistic regression analysis, school level, socioeconomic status, drinking alcohol, drug use, experience of school bullying were associated with an increased proportion of attempted suicide for boys and girls. Particularly, male students was associated with living type. Conclusion : The results of this study highlight the important of developing a program that focuses on enhancing suicidal prevention & respect life program with life skills program, to effectively reduce the likelihood of attempted suicide among adolescents in Korea.

'자살'은 다양한 원인들이 존재하지만 자살생각을 넘어선 자살시도는 곧 청소년 사망과 직결되기 때문에 예방차원의 대안모색이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우리나라 청소년들의 자살시도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하여 청소년들의 자살시도예측요인을 규명하고 더 나아가 청소년 자살예방프로그램 개발 시 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 조사대상은 '2013년 청소년 건강행태 온라인조사'대상자인 중 고등학생 72,435명(남학생 36,655명, 여학생 35,780명)이며, 통계분석은 SPSS 21.0프로그램을 활용하였다. 자료 분석은 가중치를 적용하여 백분율을 산출하였고, 인구학적 특성및 건강행태, 자살시도와의 관련성 등은 복합표본 카이제곱검정, 자살시도에 영향을 미치는 요인은 복합표본 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구결과 자살시도 경험은 중학생 7.3%, 일반계고등학생 3.5%, 특성화고등학생 5.5%로 중학생들의 자살시도가 유의하게 높았다. 자살시도에 영향을 주는 요인은 남녀 공통적으로 승산비가 가장 컸던 변수로 '슬픔과 절망'이었고, 그 외 약물경험, 음주경험, 체중조절, 폭력피해 등이 자살시도 예측변수로 확인되었다. 한편 남녀 자살시도 예측요인으로 차이가 났던 변수는 남학생의 경우 '거주형태'였고, 여학생의 경우는 학교성적으로 확인되었다. 즉 남학생의 경우 보육시설에 거주하는 학생이 가족과 함께 사는 학생에 비해 자살시도 승산비가 약 4배 높았고, 여학생의 경우 학교성적이 낮은 여학생이 성적이 좋다고 응답한 여학생에 비해 자살시도 승산비가 1.309배 높게 나왔다. 따라서 추후 청소년 자살예방프로그램 개발 시에는 남녀 공통적으로 나타난 자살시도에 영향을 주는 변수와 차이가 났던 변수를 고려하여 성별을 고려한 청소년 자살예방프로그램을 개발할 필요가 있다.
