Abstract
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to develop a scale to measure suicide literacy.
Based on the Scale of Suicide Literacy (LOSS), we attempted an exploratory study reflecting culture-specific items. This study focused on constructing items that can help reduce the suicide rate in Korean society. After compiling exploratory items based on the literature review and an online in-depth survey, we first extracted distinctive factors with a Delphi expert consultation. In this study, items that were difficult to answer clearly were deleted through the scale-reduction process. Then, based on another survey of 552 adults, we conducted an exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The results yielded 3 factors with 15 items: 1) treatment/prevention, 2) risk factors, 3) signs. The final scale was strengthened items measuring treatment/prevention and signs. This study discussed the academic and practical implications of a Korean suicide literacy scale.
