Abstract

This study is a secondary data analysis study using the panel survey on the life of the disabled to determine the relationship between disability acceptance, depression, self-esteem, family strengths, disability-related daily life restrictions, economic difficulties, current life satisfaction, and suicidal ideation. In this study, logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors affecting suicidal ideation of disabled people using the SPSS/WIN 21.0 program. As a result of the study, depression was found to be the most influential factor in suicidal ideation of the disabled, and the depression of the disabled with suicidal ideation was 5.59 times higher than that of the disabled without suicidal ideation. On the other hand, family health (0.63 times), self-esteem (0.66 times) and current life satisfaction (0.89 times) were statistically significant. The results of this study are significant in that they provided basic data on the factors affecting suicidal ideation of the disabled in Korea.
