Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship self-control, stress, loneliness among University Students, to provide the basic data for prevention of suicide occurrence. Methods: The subjects of this study were 1,253 university students. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, $x^2$-test, t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS 17.0 Program. Results: The degree of the suicide attempt was 13.6%. The reported scores for self-control, internet addiction, stress, self-efficacy, anxiety, loneliness were 69.9, 42.5, 86.4, 48.2, 46.2, 40.1, respectively. The degree of suicide attempt was significantly different according gender, religion, parents status, family economic status, living, friendship, exercise, alcohol drinking, loneliness, state anxiety, stress, self-control, and internet addiction. The influential factors affecting suicide attempt were parents status, internet addiction, gender, exercise, and loneliness, which explained about 5.5% of the variance. Conclusions: These result suggest that earlier screening and suicide prevention programs for university students will be helpful in preventing suicide attempt. Future studies need to be pursued to find various variances for suicide attempt for university students.
