Abstract

The subjects were 459 adults aged between 19 and 64 who agreed to this study among quota sampled by the population, sex, and region of the metropolitan city. The path model of collected data was estimated using SPSS 24.0 program and AMOS 22.0. The results of the bias-corrected percentile method for verifying the significance of the mediator effect of the final model showed that suicidal attitude, depression, and stress were found to be mediating effects of health status on suicidal ideation. Suicide attitude and stress were found to mediate the effects of health status on depression. And the effect of drinking on depression was mediated by stress. This result is expected to be used as a practical basis for the development of suicide prevention and intervention programs for adults in the future.
