Abstract

Purpose: This study investigated the factors associated with suicidal ideation in the Korean Echo Generation using 2012 Korea Health Panel Data. Methods: The 2012 Korea Health Panel Data were collected from February 2012 to July 2012 and included 2,303 people who responded to a question asking whether they had experienced suicidal ideation. The data were analyzed by chi-square and multiple logistic regression test using SPSS 22.0. Results: The rate of suicidal ideation was 4.2% in the Echo Generation. Factors associated with suicidal ideation in the Echo Generation revealed that the following variables increased the rate of suicidal ideation: sex(odd ratio: 2.39, CI: 1.39-4.09), education(odd ratio: 1.95, CI: 1.08-3.52), depression(odd ratio: 12.06, CI: 6.92-21.03), frustrating experience(odd ratio: 2.52, CI: 1.22-5.20), anxiety about the future(odd ratio: 14.58, CI: 3.20-66.41), self-rated health status(odd ratio: 2.39, CI: 1.39-4.09 and odd ratio: 6.41, CI 2.87-14.33). Conclusion: This study provides a preliminary examination of the factors associated with suicidal ideation in the Echo Generation. A more careful examination may be warranted.
