N2 - OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of the suicidal ideation and associated factors with self-reported suicidal ideation within the last 12 months among Korean high school students.
METHODS: A total of 697 adolescents were recruited from high schools (age range: 15-16 years) in Jeju area. According to existence of suicidal ideation, they were divided into two groups-suicidal ideation group and non-suicidal ideation group, and the differences between groups in terms of various sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, including depression (Beck Depression Inventory), and health related conditions.
RESULTS: A total of 187 (26.8%) high school students reported suicidal ideation, and the rate of suicidal attempt was 4.9% (n=34). The associated factors of suicidal ideation were depression [odds ratio (OR)=2.42, p< or =0.001], short sleep duration (OR=1.84, p=0.009), current alcohol use (OR=4.94, p< or =0.001), self reported poor health (OR=2.10, p=0.004), and school bullying (OR=3.06, p=0.002).
CONCLUSION: These results may have important implications for the strategies and specified intervention in preventing suicidal ideation in Korean high school students.
