Abstract

This study used convenience sampling and self-reported surveys to investigate the mental health status and suicide resilience of 297 university students in South Korea. Significant associations were found between suicide resilience and the mental health index (β = 0.50, p <.001), "complete mental health," (β = 0.35, p =.004) "moderate mental health, (β = 0.28, p =.038)," and religion (β = 0.11, p =.010). The enhancement of university students' psychosocial functions should promote suicide prevention and increase mental well-being. Moreover, the "pure languishing' group should targeted for selective suicide prevention. © 2017 International Information Institute.
