Abstract
This study was to investigate the mediating effect of subjective happiness on the effect of andropause symptoms on suicidal Ideation in married middle-aged men. Final Participants were 199 married middle-aged men with andropause symptoms. Andropause symptoms, suicidal ideation, and subjective happiness of middle-aged men showed significant correlations. The mediating effect of subjective happiness on the relationship between andropause symptoms and suicidal ideation was verified. The findings revealed that an improving subjective happiness of men with andropause symptoms can be helpful for the prevention of suicidal ideation. Therefore, the researchers suggest that future researchers develop nursing interventions for the prevention of suicide ideation of men with andropause symptoms based on the results of the study, and evaluate its' effects.
