Abstract

This study aims to examine how subjective class perception of children from single-parent families affects suicidal thoughts and to verify the mediated effects of depression and subjective health perception. To this end, the analysis data used the 2020 Korean Children and Youth Human Rights Survey conducted by the Korea Youth Policy Institute, and 618 children from single-parent families who responded to the survey were selected and analyzed as study subjects. As a result of the analysis, first, it was found that the higher the subjective class perception, the lower the suicidal impulse. Second, depression was found to be completely mediated in the relationship between subjective class perception and suicide impulse. Third, subjective health awareness was found to be completely mediated in the relationship between subjective class perception and suicidal thoughts. Based on these research results, we proposed policy and practical measures to reduce suicidal impulses according to the subjective class perception of children of single-parent families.

본 연구는 한부모가정 자녀의 주관적 계층인식이 자살 충동에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 살펴보고, 우울과 주관적 건강인식의 매개효과를 검증하고자 한다. 이를 위해 분석자료는 한국청소년정책연구원에서 실시한 2020년 한국아동·청소년 인권실태조사를 활용하였고, 조사에 응답한 한부모가정 자녀 618명을 연구대상자로 선정하여 분석하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 주관적 계층인식이 높을수록 자살충동은 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 주관적 계층인식과 자살충동의 관계에서 우울은 완전매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 주관적 계층인식과 자살충동의 관계에서 주관적 건강인식은 완전매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과에 기반하여 한부모가정 자녀들이 인식하는 주관적 계층인식에 따른 자살충동을 줄이기 위한 정책적, 실천적 방안을 제안했다.
