Area of Science:
- Occupational Health
- Psychiatry
- Sociology
Background:
- Suicidality is a significant concern in the workforce.
- Understanding protective factors is crucial for prevention strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the role of resilience as a protective factor against suicidal ideation in Korean workers.
- To identify factors associated with suicidal ideation and plans in this population.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study involving 4,389 Korean workers aged 18-63.
- Data collected via self-reported questionnaires on sociodemographics, job stress, resilience, and suicidality.
- Hierarchical logistic regression analysis used to determine predictors of suicidality.
Main Results:
- High job stress, depressive mood, anxiety, and shorter job duration were linked to suicidal ideation.
- Resilience emerged as a significant protective factor against suicidal ideation.
- Older age, female gender, and being single were associated with suicidal ideation; older age and high anxiety with suicide plans.
Conclusions:
- Elevated resilience levels correlate with reduced suicidal ideation among Korean workers.
- Workplace interventions aimed at enhancing resilience may mitigate suicidal ideation, especially for high-stress employees.
