Abstract

본 연구는 도시 농촌지역 고등학생들의 자살에 대한 생각을 파악하고, 일반적 특성, 학교생활특성, 자살경험특성 및 자살생각과의 관련성을 알아보기 위하여 수행하였다. 우리나라 중부권에 소재한 K시의 도시지역 학생 1,114명, 농촌지역 학생 968명을 대상으로 2009년 7월 1일부터 7월 31일까지 구조화된 자기기입식 설문지를 이용하여 설문조사하였다. 연구결과 최근 1년간 자살생각을 갖은 고등학생은 38.8%였으며 도시와 농촌 간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 다변량분석 결과 자살 생각에 영향을 미치는 관련요인으로 도시학생은 성별[남자에 비하여 여자의 교차비가 1.80 (95%CI: 1.31-2.47)]과 학년[1학년에 비하여 2학년 교차비가 1.40(95% CI: 0.98-2.00), 3학년 교차비 2.15(95% CI: 1.49-3.12)이 유의하였다. 농촌학생은 성별[남자에 비하여 여자의 교차비가 2.71 (95%CI: 1.23-2.38)], 경제악화 [비경험군에 비하여 경험군의 교차비가 1.81(95% CI: 1.24-2.64)], 그리고 학년[1학년에 비하여 2학년 교차비가 2.80(95% CI: 1.82-4.32), 3학년 교차비 3.84(95% CI: 2.52-5.87)이 유의하였다. 본 연구를 통해 밝혀진 고등학생들의 자살생각에 영향을 주는 가정환경 변인, 학교생활 변인, 자살에 대한 경험적 변인 등을 적극적으로 관리하는 자살 예방프로그램개발 및 자살예방을 위한 지속적인 관심과 지도가 필요하다. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to find out the suicide ideation of high school students in urban and rural areas, and especially to research the relationship between suicide ideation, and general characteristics, characteristics of school life, and empirical characteristics of suicide. Methods: This research targeted four urban and four rural high schools in two cities. The study subjects were 1,114 students in urban area and 968 students in rural area, total 2,082 students. The survey was conducted from July 1, 2009 to July 31, 2009. For statistical analysis, chi-square test, t-test and ANOVA were used for investigating related factors with suicide ideation in urban and rural areas, respectively, with multiple logistic regression for multivariate analysis. Results: The results showed that 38.8% of respondents had suicide ideation within 1 year. The percentage of female students (44.8%) was significantly higher than that of male students (33.4%). However, there was no significant difference between urban (38.0%) and rural area (39.9%). The significant influencing factors on suicide ideation in multiple logistic regression were gender [female student OR(odds ratio)=1.80 (95% CI 1.31-2.47) compared with male student] and grade [second year OR=1.40 (95% CI 0.98-2.00), third year OR=2.15 (95% CI 1.49-3.12) compared with first year] in urban area. Those in rural area were gender [female student OR(odds ratio)=2.71 (95% CI 1.23-2.38) compared with male student], economic deterioration [yes OR=1.81 (95% CI 1.24-2.64) compared with no], and grade [second year OR=2.80 (95% CI 1.82-4.32), third year OR=3.84 (95% CI 2.52-5.87) compared with first year]. Conclusions: This study showed about 40% of high school students had suicide ideation within 1 year. A suicide prevention program may be implemented considering factors related with suicide ideation identified in this study.
