Abstract

This study was to investigate the mediating effect of subjective happiness on the effect of andropause symptoms on suicidal Ideation in married middle-aged men. Final Participants were 199 married middle-aged men with andropause symptoms. Andropause symptoms, suicidal ideation, and subjective happiness of middle-aged men showed significant correlations. The mediating effect of subjective happiness on the relationship between andropause symptoms and suicidal ideation was verified. The findings revealed that an improving subjective happiness of men with andropause symptoms can be helpful for the prevention of suicidal ideation. Therefore, the researchers suggest that future researchers develop nursing interventions for the prevention of suicide ideation of men with andropause symptoms based on the results of the study, and evaluate its' effects.

본 연구는 기혼 중년 남성의 갱년기 증상이 자살 사고에 미치는 영향에서 주관적 행복감의 매개효과를 파악한 연구이다. 자료수집은 2020년 12월부터 2021년 1월까지 실시하였으며 인터넷 커뮤니티를 통해서 설문 응답에 자발적으로 참여한 기혼 중년 남성을 대상으로 하였다. 최종 연구 대상자는 갱년기 증상이 있는 199명의 기혼 중년 남성이었다. 기혼 중년 남성의 갱년기 증상, 자살 사고 및 주관적 행복감은 유의한 상관관계가 있었으며, 갱년기 증상과 자살 사고의 관계에서 주관적 행복감은 매개효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과로 갱년기 남성의 주관적 행복감을 향상시키는 것이 자살 사고를 예방하는데 도움이 될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 연구자는 본 연구 결과를 토대로 추후 갱년기 남성의 자살 사고를 예방하는 간호중재 방안을 마련하여 그 효과를 확인해 볼 것을 제언한다.
