Social support, self-esteem and suicidal ideation had negative correlation. Depression and suicidal ideation had positive correlation. Suicidal ideation was significantly different according to age, education, spouse, living arrangement, type of medical guarantee, pocket money, past job, leisure(time), health status, number of chronic disease, smoking.

이 연구는 노인의 자살생각 예측 요인을 파악하기 위한 서술적조사 연구이다. 노인대학, 노인종합복지관, 경로당을 이용하고 있는 노인 359명을 대상으로 분석하였으며 분석결과, 사회적 지지 평균 3.35점, 자아존중감 평균 3.38점, 우울 평균 8.64점, 자살생각 평균 1.65점이며, 연령, 교육정도, 배우자유무, 동거형태, 의료보장형태, 용돈, 과거직업유무, 여가활동, 건강상태, 만성질환 수, 흡연유무에서 자살생각과 유의한 관련을 보였다. 사회적 지지와 자아존중감이 낮을수록, 우울이 높을수록 자살 생각이 높게 나타났다. 자살생각의 예측요인을 분석하기 위해 다중회귀분석 결과, 자살생각을 설명하는 주요변수는 타인지지, 자아존중감, 용돈, 학력, 연령으로 나타났고, 자살생각을 48.2% 설명하였으며 이 중에서 타인지지의 설명력이 41.8%로 가장 높았다. 사회적 지지와 자아존중감을 증진하고, 우울을 감소시킬 수 있는 노인의 자살예방통합프로그램 개발의 기초자료로 사용될 것을 기대한다.
