Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the mediating effect of hope between stress and suicidal ideation of adolescents. For the study, 399 adolescents were surveyed at 10 cities of Korea from May to August in 2010. Main results of the study were in the followings. First, it was found out that stress of adolescents was positively correlated with suicidal ideation, hope was negatively correlated with suicidal ideation, and stress influenced more suicidal ideation than hope. Second, suicidal ideation of adolescents tended to be low, stress was in the middle level, and agency and pathways thinking of hope was higher than middle level. Third, it was proved that agency and pathways thinking of hope was mediated between stress and suicidal ideation of adolescents. Lastly, for the female adolescents living in the metropolitan and large cities, only agency thinking of hope was mediated but pathways thinking was not mediated. Policy implications for preventing and decreasing adolescent's suicide were suggested.

본 논문은 청소년의 스트레스와 자살생각간의 관계에서 희망의 매개효과를 파악하는데 연구 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 2010년 5월부터 8월 사이에 청소년 399명을 대상으로 전국 10개 도시에서 설문조사를 하였다. 주요 연구결과를 살펴보면, 첫째, 청소년의 스트레스는 자살생각과 정적인 상관관계를 보였고, 희망은 자살생각과 부적인 상관관계를 나타냈으며 스트레스가 희망보다도 자살생각에 더 높은 효과를 주는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 청소년의 자살생각은 2점이 되지 않아 낮은 편이라 할 수 있고 스트레스는 중간수준이며, 희망인 경로사고와 주도사고는 보통 이상의 수준이었다. 셋째, 청소년의 스트레스와 자살생각과의 관계에서 희망의 경로사고와 주도사고가 매개되었다. 즉 스트레스로 인해 자살생각이 높다 해도 경로사고와 주도사고가 높은 경우 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해 자살생각은 낮았다. 마지막으로 본 연구에서 자살생각에 서 가장 취약한 집단으로 나타난 대도시 및 중소도시에 거주하는 여고생의 스트레스와 자살생각간의 관계에서 주도사고는 매개효과가 검증되었으나 경로사고는 검증되지 않았다. 청소년의 자살을 예방하고 감소시키기 위한 정책적 함의를 제언하였다.
