Abstract

This study attempted to provide basic data for screening high-risk subjects by confirming suicidal thinking intensity and by identifying its influential factors in mid-aged men. Data No.3 from third National Health and Nutrition Survey in 2012 by the CDCP were used with 40-64 years middle-aged men targets. The collected data were analyzed via applying weight by using the complex sample analysis method of SPSS 19.0 program, frequency analysis, cross-analysis, and logistic regression analysis. The result revealed that 10% of middle-aged men showed suicidal thinking, and low-income earners had suicidal thinking 1.972 times higher than usual, the unmarried 2.587 times higher than men with spouses, men without spouses 1.482 times higher than men with spouses, the underweighted 18.183 times higher the obese. The blue-collared and the unemployed had suicidal thinking 1.349 and 13.342 times higher than the white-collared respectively. Furthermore, inactive subjects showed suicidal thinking 2.998 times higher than active subjects. Therefore, to prevent suicide in mid-aged men, separating these high-risk subjects in primary screening is needed for management, and suicide prevention programs should be developed at social and political level that include the information considering stress, depression, and obesity.

본 연구는 중년 남성의 자살생각 정도를 확인하고, 영향요인을 파악하여 고위험 대상자를 선별하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 시도하였다. 2012년에 질병 관리 본부에서 시행된 국민건강영양조사 자료 중 제 5기 3차 자료를 이용 하였고, 40-64세의 남성을 대상으로 하였다. 수집된 자료는 가중치를 적용하여 SPSS 19.0 프로그램의 복합표본분석방법을 이용하였으며, 빈도분석, 교차분석, 로지스틱 회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 그 결과 중년남성의 10%가 자살 생각이 있는 것으로 파악되었고, 소득 수준이 낮은 경우 보통에 비해 1.972배 자살 생각이 높았다. 배우자가 있는 대상자에 비해 미혼이 2.587배, 배우자 없는 경우가 1.482배 자살 생각이 높았고, 비만인 대상자에 비해 저체중 대상자는 18.183배 자살 생각이 높았다. 화이트 칼라 직종에 비해 블루 칼라와 무직은 각각 1.349배, 13,342배 자살 생각이 높았다. 또한 높은 활동 정도를 보이는 대상자에 비해 낮은 활동을 보이는 대상자는 2.998배 자살 생각이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 소득이 낮은 대상자, 미혼 또는 배우자가 없는 대상자, 우울감이 있는 대상자, 무직이나 블루칼라 종사자, 활동 정도가 낮은 대상자는 자살 생각이 높은 고위험으로 볼 수 있겠다. 그러므로 중년 남성의 자살 예방을 위하여 일차적으로 이러한 고위험 대상자를 선별하여 관리 할 필요가 있으며, 이들에게 스트레스, 우울, 체중을 고려하는 내용을 포함하여 자살 예방을 위한 사회, 정책적 차원에서 프로그램을 개발하여 적용해야 한다.
