Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to compare the factors affecting the suicidal ideation of single person household in adults based on the gender. The data of 807 people over 19 years of age and single person households who participated in the national health and nutrition surveys 2017 were used for the final analysis. The data were executed using Rao-Scott χ2-test and multiple logistic regression considering complex sample analysis. The overall prevalence of suicidal ideation in adults with a single person household was 11% (47.2% among men and 52.8% among women). The lower educational level, marital status, unemployment, less than seven hours of sleep, and morbidity were identified as significant factors in men. whereas, non-ownership of house, current smoker, and non-medical checkup were identified as the significant factors affecting the prevalence of suicidal ideation in women. The age in 50s, lower household income, recipient of basic living, bad perceived health status, higher perceived stress level, and depression(more than two weeks) were identifed as significant factors of suicidal ideation in both men and women.
