Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between emotional traumatic experience, stress, depression, and anxiety and to identify factors influencing suicide ideation. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire survey administered to students from four health colleges in B city and a total of 289 questionnaires. Collected data were analyzed by frequency and percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS/WIN program. The results show that there were significant differences in emotional trauma according to the general characteristics of the study subjects (p=.005) and stress related to grades (p=.029). Depression showed significant differences for gender (p=.020), religion (p=.022), and anxiety related to gender (p=.047). Suicidal thinking was not significantly different from the general characteristics. The suicidal ideation of the subjects was significantly correlated with emotional trauma (p<.001), stress (p<.001), depression (p<.001) and anxiety (p<.001). Factors affecting the suicidal ideation of the subjects were emotional trauma (t=4.117, p<.001), stress (t=2.909, p=.004), depression (t=3.421, p=.001), and anxiety (t=2.875, p=.004), and the explanatory power was 34.1%. This study can be used as basic data for the development of a suicide prevention program by identifying correlations between emotional traumatic experience, stress, depression, and anxiety related to suicide ideation and identifying factors affecting suicide ideation. Based on these results, the development of programs to reduce the college student suicide rate is necessary.
