Abstract

PURPOSE: In this study, the fitness of a path model on the relationship among the variables, parent-adolescent communication, school resilience, self-esteem, depression, and suicidal ideation for adolescents, was examined. The aim of the study was to provide fundamental data about preventing adolescent's suicidal ideation by developing and examining a multisystem core competency support model.

METHODS: The participants were 398 adolescents. The data were analyzed with the SPSS and AMOS programs.

RESULTS: Parent-adolescent communication, school resilience, self-esteem, and depression showed a direct effect on suicidal ideation for adolescents, while parent-adolescent communication, school resilience, and self-esteem showed an indirect effect on suicidal ideation for adolescents. The modified path model of adolescent's suicidal ideation was shown to be correct.

CONCLUSION: These results suggest that adolescent's suicidal ideation can be decreased by increasing parent-adolescent communication, school resilience, and self-esteem and reducing depression. The findings of the study indicate a need to design a core competency reinforcement program that emphasizes increases in parent-adolescent communication, school resilience, and self-esteem and reduction of depression in order to decrease adolescent's suicide ideation.
