Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine economic stress, depression, suicidal ideation, resilience and social support in college students and to examine the correlation between these variables. Methods: The participants were 157 3th and 4th year college students. Data were collected in September and October, 2016. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression. Results: Students` economic hardship and worry about future economic security, sub-categories of economic stress had pos-itive correlations with depression and suicidal ideation. Economic hardship showed a significant negative correlation with resilience but no correlation with social support while worry about future economic security had negative correla-tions with resilience and social support. Factors significantly influencing suicidal ideation were depression (β=.37, p<.001) and social support (β=-.31, p<.001), with a total explanatory power of 36% (F=9.09, p<.001). Conclusion: These findings indicate that intervention strategies for managing economic stress in college students should include developing resilience and providing social support as well as decreasing depression and suicidal ideation.
