The purpose of this study is to analyze factors could have much effect on suicidal ideation of university(college) students. By use of analysis, suicide prevention policy for university(college) students can be suggested.

Third, are family environmental variables having influence on suicidal ideation of university(college) students? Forth, are school environmental variables having influence on suicidal ideation of university(college) students? Fifth, are the variables on exposure to suicidal circumstances having influence on suicidal ideation of university (college) students’? Sixth, what are the factors that have much influence in suicidal ideation of university (college) students?
Earlier studies and relevant literatures were referenced, and a survey was conducted to serve the purpose. The survey, surveyed 547 male and female students are selected by the random sampling method as the subjects in the catchment areas of four universities and two colleges located in Daegu suburbs from 21 October, 2011 to 25 November, 2011. Finally, 529 copies of questionnaires were used for statistical analysis with SPSS 18.0. The questionnaires used in this study cover the following contents: General characteristics, psychological variables(depression, hopelessness, and dysfunctional impulsivity), family environmental variables(communications within the family, and stress in family relationship), school environmental variables(academic achievement, satisfaction of campus life, stress in friendship, stress in teacher-pupil relations, stress in academic troubles, and stress in worrying about the future), the variables on exposure to suicidal circumstances(close associates who might be friend or family commit suicide, media exposure reports suicide) and suicidal ideation.
The major results of this study were as follows. First of all, 7.2% of university(college) students ranked in at-risk groups and 4% of university(college) students have been attempted suicide in the past. Furthermore, there were different level in suicidal ideation by certain general characteristics: sex, school system, college, grade and the marital status of their parents. Second, it is shown that depression, hopelessness, communications within the family, stress in family relationship, satisfaction of campus life, stress in friendship, stress in teacher-pupil relations, factor under exposure to family member commit suicide circumstances and media exposure reports suicide have effects on university(college) students’ suicidal ideation. To put it concretely, the suicidal ideation was significantly high among students under a lot of factors : a higher level of depression, hopelessness, stress in family relationship, stress in friendship, stress in teacher-pupil relations, factor under exposure to family member commit suicide circumstances and media exposure reports suicide. In addition to the suicidal ideation was markedly high among students who don’t have communication with their family or don’t satisfy with their campus life. Third, the hopelessness is the most influential factor that related to university(college) students’ suicidal ideation.

This study focused on the fact that university(college) students’ suicidal ideation can be caused by a variety of factors such as psychological variables, family environmental variables, school environmental variables and the variables on exposure to suicidal circumstances(close associates who might be friend or family commit suicide). Based on these result, there are multiple variables could affect suicidal ideation, and it is necessary to be suggested antisuicide intervention for university(college) students. Especially, social workers need to make great efforts to overwhelm by a feeling of hopelessness because the hopelessness is the major sign of university(college) students’ suicidal ideation. Finally, a proposal for implications, limitation and succeeding research of this study has been discussed.
