Factors on the Suicidal Attempt by Gender of Middle and High School Student: Sanggu Yi, Yunjeong Yi, Hye-Sun Jung; J Korean Acad Nurs 2011;41(5):652-662. Published online October 31, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2011.41.5.652

Purpose

The suicide rate of adolescents in Korea is increasing annually. Therefore, this research was done to identify the suicide attempt rate of middle and high school students and to identify factors that influence suicidal attempts.

Methods

The Korea Youth Health Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (2007) was used as data. Discriminant analysis and logistic regression were performed to analyze the data depending on gender to consider the gender difference in assessing the influence of each independent variable on suicidal attempts.

Results

Discriminant analysis according on gender showed that 13 factors correlated with suicidal attempts for boys, and 20 factors for girls. The most highly correlated factors were smoking, depression and inhalation experience. For inhalation experience, boys had 2.7 times higher possibility of suicide attempts (95% CI 1.8-3.0) and girls, a 2.4 times higher possibility (95% CI 1.7-3.5).

Conclusion

The results of the study indicate a need to classify adolescents for expectation of suicide risk and high danger for suicidal attempts through, and introduce suicide prevention programs for these adolescents. In particular, it is necessary to start intervention with students who smoke, have sexual and inhalation experiences and high levels of depression.

A Phenomenological Study of Suicide Attempts in Elders: Mi Young Im, Yun Jeong Kim; J Korean Acad Nurs 2011;41(1):61-71. Published online February 28, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2011.41.1.61

Abstract PDF

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to examine the meaning and essence of suicide for elderly people who had previously attempted suicide as an older person.

Methods

Giorgi's descriptive phenomenology was used for analysis. The researchers carried out in-depth interviews, recordings and memos individually with four elders. The elders were individuals who had attempted suicide sometime in the past 5 yr. They were interviewed from 5 to 10 times using open-ended questions and a semi-structural format. Demographic data were also collected.

Results

The meaning of suicide before a suicide attempt in older people had four core components: conflict with family, powerlessness and despair in their life with a drop in self-esteem, using internal and external resources to resolve their troubles and awareness of imminent crisis.

Conclusion

These results of this study will increase understanding of suicide in older people by defining their subjective experience of suicide attempts and applying grounded data in the development of programs that provide concrete intervention strategies to prevent suicide in elderly people.
