Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of loneliness perceived by adolescents on suicidal ideation and identify the mediating effects of hope on the relation between loneliness perceived by adolescents and suicidal ideation to carry out preliminary data for preventing and controlling adolescents' suicide. The study subject comprises of 338 high school students, and the collected data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 18.0. The results of the study show that adolescents' perceived loneliness and suicidal ideation had positive correlations with one another, and adolescents' perceived loneliness and hope, hope and suicidal ideation had negative correlation with one another. And analysis shows that the hope partially mediates the relation between loneliness and suicidal ideation. With the findings of the study, the significance of managing crisis situations of adolescents should be recognized and solutions such as hope enhancement programs should be promptly utilized.

본 연구는 청소년이 지각하는 외로움이 자살생각에 미치는 영향을 파악하고 두 변수간의 관계에서 희망의 매개효과를 규명함으로써 청소년의 자살 예방 및 관리 방안 모색을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 시도되었다. 연구대상은 고등학교 청소년 338명이며 수집된 자료는 SPSS/WIN 18.0을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 청소년이 지각하고 있는 외로움과 희망, 희망과 자살생각은 각각 부적 상관관계, 외로움과 자살생각은 정적 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 희망은 외로움과 자살생각과의 관계에서 부분적으로 매개효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 청소년이 당면하고 있는 위기상황 관리에 대한 중요성을 인식하고 청소년 자살생각 감소를 위한 희망증진 프로그램개발 등의 방안이 시급히 마련되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.
