Abstract
This study sought to determine the impact of PTSD experience on the risk of suicide among North Korean defectors, and to compare and verify the differences in the protective role of human support resources by country of origin in this process. For this purpose, data on 410 North Korean defectors living in South Korea were used for analysis. To test the hypothesis, a moderating effect analysis was conducted using SPSS MACRO, and the results are as follows. First, PTSD among North Korean defectors was found to have a positive effect on suicide risk. Second, human support resources from North Korea had no direct effect on suicide risk, but it was confirmed to have a significant moderating effect in the relationship between PTSD and suicide risk. On the other hand, human support resources from South Korea had a direct effect on suicide risk, it was found to have no significant moderating effect. Based on these results, we examined the role of Human resources by country of origin in the problem of suicide among North Korean defectors, and proposed specific intervention measures and practical and policy implications.
