Abstract

The purpose of the study was to provide basic data for planning and offering nursing intervention to prevent suicide attempts by identifying the factors influencing the suicidal thoughts of depressed adults. The subjects of this study were 1,202 individuals who answered clearly in 2013-2015 National Health and Nutrition Survey. A composite sample plan file was generated using the IBM SPSS 23.0 program, and then the data were weighted and analyzed. Suicidal ideation was influenced by income (50-60s), number of family members (50-60s), marital status (40-50s), subjective health (30-50s, over 70s), stress (30s, over 50s), economic activity status (50s), diabetes (60s or older), alcohol consumption (60s), and Body Mass Index (BMI) (40s). These results suggest that tailor-made interventions for the prevention of suicide need to take into account the general and health-related factors of the subjects.

본 연구는 우울감있는 성인의 나이에 따른 자살생각에 영향을 주는 요인을 파악하여 자살시도를 사전에 예방하기 위한 간호중재 시 기초자료를 제공하고자 시도되었다. 본 연구대상자는 보건복지부와 질병관리본부에서 시행한 2013-2015년도 국민건강영양조사 대상자 총 15,568명 중 '2주 이상 연속 우울감 여부' 문항에 '있음'으로 명확하게 응답한 30세 이상 1,202명을 대상으로 하였다. IBM SPSS 23.0 프로그램을 이용하여 복합표본계획파일을 생성한 후 가중치를 부여하여 분석하였으며, 유의수준은 .05로 하였다. 본 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 자살생각에 유의한 영향을 준 요인으로는 소득(50-60대), 가구원수(50-60대), 결혼상태(40-50대), 주관적 건강(30-50대, 70대 이상), 스트레스(30대, 50대 이상), 경제활동상태(50대), 당뇨(60대 이상), 음주량(60대), BMI(40대)로 나타났다. 따라서, 자살예방 계획 및 중재 시 대상자의 일반적 건강관련 요인들을 고려한 맞춤식 중재가 필요하다.
