The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between life stress and suicidal ideation and found mediating effects of depression and life satisfaction in this relationship among University students. Data was collected in 3 different universities near in Daegu, 298 university students have been participated. First, I surveyed the degree of life stress, depression, life satisfaction and suicidal ideation of the students and than investigated how life stress affects siucidal ideation. Also, I investigated depression as a danger factor in relationship between life stress and suicidal ideation, mediated effect of life satisfation as a protection factor and verified through Amos. The results indicated that the degree of life stress, depression and suicidal ideation in university students were not high and had high degree of life satisfaction. Prospected value of life and family stress, which is the lower branch of life stress, were directly affected suicidal ideation but economic stress and academic stress affected indirectly. Mediated effect of depression in relation between suicidal ideation and life stress was not noted but life satisfaction had mediating effect partly. Life satisfaction was the factor for predicting student s suicidal ideation. Research suggests the plans to prevent university student s suicide according to the result of this study.
