Abstract

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify factors which influence suicidal ideation in students in girls' high schools. Methods: The participants were 202 students attending a girls' high school and a specialized girls' high school in D city. Data were collected from October 8 to December 23, 2013. Research tools were suicidal ideation, existential spiritual well-being, interpersonal relations, and depression. Data were analyzed using t-test, one-way ANOVA with Scheffe-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression by stepwise selection with SPSS/WIN 12.0. Results: Suicidal ideation was negatively correlated with existential spiritual well-being, interpersonal relations, and positively correlated with depression. Effective variables were depression (${\beta}=0.54$, p<.001), existential spiritual well-being (${\beta}=-0.22$, p=.001), and grades (${\beta}=-0.10$, p=.042). These variables explained 52% of the variance in suicidal ideation. Conclusion: Based on the outcomes of this study, it is necessary to design an intervention program that teachers and community mental health nurses can use to increase existential spiritual well-being and decrease the depression and suicidal ideation for students in girls' high schools.
