Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of the suicidal ideation and associated factors with selfreported 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≤0.001], short sleep duration (OR=1.84, p=0.009), current alcohol use (OR=4.94, p≤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.
