젊은 성인에서 대인관계문제 및 신체불만족이 자살사고에 미치는 영향

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Objectives : In modern society, people are becoming more and more interested in their appearance and bodies. Many of them are not satisfied with their looks and bodies. Studies have found that such negative body image is associated with their social dysfunction, psychiatric comorbidity, and suicide risks. However, not many studies have explored the correlation with interpersonal problems. Thus, this study is aimed at identifying how interpersonal problems and negative body image influence the suicidal ideas of young adults.

Methods : This study was conducted on 294 college students and adults; the students are medical science or nursing majors of colleges in Daejeon. All participants filled out the following tools of this study: Body Dysmorphic Disorder Examination-Self Report (BDDE-SR); Korean Inventory of Interpersonal Problem (KIIP); Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (SIQ). To identify the correlation among the variables, Pearson’s correlation coefficient was calculated. Also, a path analysis was conducted to identify the impact of interpersonal problems and negative body image on the suicidal ideas of people.

Results : Among the 294 subjects, 35.4% (N=104) were males, and 64.6% (N=190) were female. Age and gender had a direct effect on their negative body image, and indirect effect on their suicidal ideas. Both ‘social inhibition’ and ‘overly-accommodation’ had a direct effect on their negative body image. However, the direct effect on the suicidal ideas was insignificant, although they had an indirect effect on the suicidal ideas. Meanwhile, ‘cold’ had a significant, direct effect on the suicidal ideas only. On the other hand, negative body image had a direct effect on their suicidal ideas. Squared multiple correlation of BDDE and SIQ was 0.25 and 0.32, respectively. The path model used had a good fit statistics.

Conclusions : The findings indicate the following: ‘Social inhibition’, ‘overly-accommodation’, gender, and age had a direct effect on their negative body image. As a result, those factors had a indirect effect on the suicidal ideas. Also, ‘cold’ interpersonal problems and negative body image had a direct effect on the suicidal ideas. The findings can help identify how interpersonal problems and negative body image influence the suicidal ideas of people.
