Abstract

This study was to investigate the moderating effect of the protective factors in the relationship between impulsivity and suicide behavior of elementary school students. This study surveyed total 573 elementary school students located in Seoul. They completed survey questionnaires of impulsivity, suicide behavior and protective factors. Collected data was examined using correlation analyses and hierarchical multiple regression analyses. First, a total of 29(5.1%) students reported suicide plan, 17(3.0%) students reported suicide attempts and the rate of suicide behavior was 7.1%(n=41). Second, there was a negative relationship between impulsivity and protective factors and a positive relationship between impulsivity and suicide behavior. Also, it was found that the protective factors(individual factor, family factor, peer factor, school factor) moderated the relationship between impulsivity and suicide behavior of elementary school students. The implications and limitations of this study were discussed.

본 연구의 목적은 초등학교 고학년을 대상으로 충동성과 자살행동(자살계획, 자살시도) 간의 관계에서 보호요인(개인요인, 가족요인, 또래요인, 학교요인)의 조절효과를 검증하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 서울지역 초등학생 5~6학년 573명을 대상으로 충동성, 자살행동, 보호요인 척도에 대한 설문을 실시하였다. 먼저 자살행동의 실태를 파악하기 위하여 빈도 분석을 하였으며, 변인들의 관계를 알아보기 위하여 상관분석을 실시하였다. 또한 충동성과 자살행동과의 관계에서 보호요인의 조절효과를 알아보기 위해 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 이를 통한 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 연구대상의 29명(5.1%)은 자살계획을 세워 본 적이 있으며, 17명(3.0%)은 자살시도를 해 본 것으로 나타났다. 또한 자살행동을 보고한 학생은 41명(7.1%)으로 집계되었다. 둘째, 초등학생의 충동성과 보호요인(개인요인, 가정요인, 또래요인, 학교요인)은 모두 유의미한 부적 상관을 보였으며, 충동성과 자살행동은 유의미한 정적 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 초등학생의 충동성이 자살행동에 미치는 영향에 보호요인 모두 조절효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 충동적인 초등학생이라도 보호요인이 높을수록 낮은 자살행동을 보인다는 것이다. 이렇듯 보호요인은 초등학생의 충동성에 따른 자살행동에 대한 완충제로 작용하기 때문에 이를 강화하기 위한 다차원적인 노력이 필요함에 대하여 논의하였다.
