This study investigated the effects of depression, anxiety, and impulsiveness on suicidal thoughts among adolescents with the goal of better understanding the psychological needs of adolescents and to provide them with more effective counseling and guidance. Participants for this study included 340 high school students in their first and second year living in large urban centers. Respondents answered a questionnaire that documented their experiences related to depression, anxiety, impulsiveness, and suicidal thoughts. Data analysis was performed using the means, standard deviations, correlation analysis, and multiple regression using the IBM SPSS 19.0 statistics program. The results were as follows. There was no statistically significant difference in anxiety and impulsiveness based on gender. However, female respondents demonstrated a higher rate of suicidal thoughts than male respondents. Second, in both sexes, comparative analysis between depression, anxiety, impulsiveness, and suicidal thoughts revealed that respondents with higher levels of depression and anxiety demonstrated elevated levels of suicidal thoughts. Impulsiveness demonstrated a correlation with suicidal thoughts only for female participants. Third, while depression and anxiety affected suicidal thoughts in both male and female respondents, impulsiveness did not affect suicidal thoughts, with depression having the strongest effect.

Purpose : This study examined the relationship between suicidal thoughts, hand grip strength, socioeconomic status, educational level, and disease occurrence. Methods : Korean national health and nutrition examination survey 2017 were used in this study. 5,449 were analysed. For comparison between groups, cross-tabulation analysis and mean comparison were performed. Logistic regression analysis were performed to analyze the influencing factors between grip strength and suicidal ideation. Results : Our results are consistent with the literature on the importance of socioeconomic status in health. The lower the level of education, the higher the suicidal thoughts. Being single or divorced was also significantly associated with suicidal ideation. Moreover, a lower income level was significantly associated with a higher suicide intention. Furthermore, older ages, lower educational levels, and lower income were significantly associated with a higher odds ratio of suicidal thoughts. Interestingly, suicidal thoughts were significantly lower among non-smokers. In contrast, suicide intention did not differ significantly according to gender, age, monthly drinking habit, aerobic physical activity, and disease occurrence. Suicidal thoughts decreased as grip strength increased and this was statistically significant. Socioeconomic status, disease occurrence, and handgrip strength level affected the security of an individual's livelihood and were significant risk factors for suicidal thoughts. These associations remained significant in multiple logistic regression even after controlling for all covariates. Conclusion : Future prevention intervention efforts to reduce suicide risks should consider handgrip strength. Studies to explore the possible proximal risk factors and mediators between handgrip strength and suicidal thoughts are also warranted.

Purpose: This study was designed to construct a structural model explaining alienation, depression, and suicidal thoughts in male and female adolescents. Method: Data was collected by questionnairs from 204 male and 208 female students selected randomly in high schools in K city Results: This study found that depression was significantly affected by alienation, and was indirectly affected through alienation by school attachment, peer relationships, and academic performance. Suicidal thoughts were greatly affected by depression, and were directly and indirectly influenced by alienation. It was confirmed that alienation turned out to be a important mediating variable, while it had a effect significant on depression and suicidal thoughts. Also there were significant differences in affecting factors among male and female students. Conclusion: Intervention strategies for preventing alienation, depression and suicidal thoughts should be different according to gender in addition, specific nursing intervention plans, including parent education and role training programs, fostering of humanistic and achievement-focused educational environment, peer support programs, and individual counselling, need to be developed and implemented to lessen a feeling of alienation from family and school.

본 논문은 한국 중학생의 신체활동이 우울 및 자살사고에 영향을 미치는지 조사하고자 시행되었다. 자료분석을 위해 청소년건강행태 온라인 조사 자료를 이용하였다. 연구대상자는 전국 중학생으로 표본수는 총 37,420명이다. 분석방법은 로지 스틱 회귀분석을 사용하였다. 분석결과, 남학생의 33%, 여학생의 43%가 우울한 경험이 있다고 응답하였고, 남학생의 17.8%, 여학생의 27.7%가 자살사고의 경험이 있다고 응답하였다. 회귀분석 결과, 중등도 신체활동과 고강도 신체활동 모두 우울발생에 대해 낮은 가능성을 보인 반면, 자살사고에 대해서는 여학생에서만 중등도 신체활동이 자살사고 발생에 대해 낮은 가능성을 보였다. 경로분석결과, 중등도 신체활동은 우울과 자살사고에 유의한 영향이 없었으나, 반면 격렬한 신체활동은 직간접적으로 우울과 자살사고에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 신체활동은 남녀 중학생의 우울 및 자살을 예방할 수 있는 중요한 매개역할을 담당하는 것으로 분석된다.

Purpose: This study was done to explore the relationship of social support and meaning of life to suicidal thoughts among patients with cancer. Methods: Data were collected by questionnaires from 138 patients who had been in cancer treatment at medical clinics and 8 patients who were members of an internet cancer association. The data were collected between August and November 2009 and analyzed using SPSS 12.0. Results: Of the participants, 47.3% reported having had suicidal thoughts and 16.4% had attempted suicide since the diagnosis of cancer. The study participants received most support from family members, but 73.3% reported experiencing an existential vacuum. The suicide attempt group had significantly higher scores according to gender, age, level of education, diagnosis, treatment modality, level of activity, caregiver and social support compare to the suicide thought group. Suicidal thoughts were negatively related to social support and meaning of life was positively associated with social support. Support from family and friends and diagnosis explained 50.0% of variance for suicidal thoughts with 36.0% of variance being explained by family support. Conclusion: Nurses should be able to identify risk factors for suicide in cancer patients. Prevention and intervention efforts need to be directed toward improving social support, family support in particular, and assisting patients finding meaning in life after a diagnosis of cancer.

초고령화 사회에서 증가한 독거노인의 인구는 많은 문제들을 야기하고 있다. 홀로 살아가고 있는 노인들은 상실감과 자살 생각이 높아질 수 있음에 따라 본 연구는 주거형태와 스마트폰이 이들의 상실감과 자살 생각에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 2G폰을 사용하는 노인들은 스마트폰을 사용하는 이들보다 낮은 사회적 역할과 관계를 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 가족 구성원 또는 배우자와 함께 살고 있는 노인들은 독거노인들보다 낮은 자살 생각을 하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 그렇지만 사회적 역할과 관계의 상실감은 거주 형태보다 스마트폰의 사용 실태 여부에 더 유의한 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 게다가, 스마트폰을 사용하는 노인들은 사회적 역할과 관계에 대해 낮은 수준의 상실감을 보여주고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 노인들 사이에서 신체적 건강, 사회적 역할, 관계의 상실감은 자살 생각을 높이는 주요한 요인으로 밝혀졌다는 점에서 놀랍게도 경제적 능력만이 자살 생각의 지표가 아니었음을 확인하였다.

Purpose: This study conducted a systematic literature review to analyze the factors related to suicidal ideation among firefighters. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted to identify factors influencing suicidal ideation among firefighters, using Korean academic information search services from January to June 2022. A total of 238 articles were searched using keywords such as "firefighter," "depression," "post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)," "cognitive emotion regulation," "suicide," and "suicidal ideation." Among them, nine articles were selected for analysis using descriptive correlation studies. Results: It was found that the relationship between firefighter stress (PTSD) and suicidal thoughts was mediated by depression. Even if the stress level (PTSD) was high, suicidal thoughts decreased when the emotional coping level was high. Conclusion: To prevent firefighters from committing suicide, intervention programs with effective approaches to quickly identify high at-risk people and improve their emotional coping skills, should be implemented.
