Abstract

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of self-esteem, depression, and social support on suicidal ideation in university students. A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 220 university students from September to November 2015. The study instruments comprised self-esteem, depression, social support, and suicidal ideation. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression using SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. The result showed that the difference of suicidal ideation by general characteristics was significant in major satisfaction(F=5.222, p=.006). The significant factors influencing suicidal ideation of university students were self-esteem(${\beta}=-0.227$, p=.004), depression(${\beta}=0.211$, p=.006), social support(${\beta}=-0.140$, p=.045), and with the explanation power of 21.9%. To decrease suicidal ideation of university students, it is necessary to develop a program increasing the self-esteem and managing the depression. The interest and social support of them will help the healthy promotion of university students.

본 연구의 목적은 대학생의 자아존중감, 우울, 사회적 지지가 자살사고에 미치는 영향에 대해 파악하고자 함이다. 2015년 9월부터 11월까지 대학생 220명으로부터 자기기입식 설문을 조사하였다. 연구도구는 자아존중감, 우울, 사회적 지지, 자살사고였다. 자료분석은 SPSS/WIN 21.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과로 일반적 특성과 관련한 자살사고의 차이는 전공만족(F=5.222, p=.006)에서 유의미했다. 대학생의 자살사고에 영향을 미치는 요인은 자아존중감(${\beta}=-0.227$, p=.004), 우울(${\beta}=0.211$, p=.006), 사회적 지지(${\beta}=-0.140$, p=.045)였고, 21.9%의 설명력을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 대학생들의 자살사고를 감소시키기 위해, 자아존중감이 증진되도록 하고 우울을 관리할 수 있는 프로그램 개발이 필요하다. 그들에 대한 관심과 사회적 지지는 대학생들의 건강증진에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.
