“…In terms of the social-ecological model, at the individual level, age, male, GPA, SES, self-report physical health, and self-esteem were negatively associated with suicidal ideation, while depressive symptoms were positively associated with suicidal ideation. The current findings are in line with prior studies, indicating that adolescents' demographic characteristics, social status, and physical and emotional condition are critical factors in understanding suicidal ideation [13,16,18,19]. In particular, younger and female adolescents were more likely to experience suicidal ideation than older and male counterparts [12,15].…”

“…Depression is one of the primary risk factors predicting suicidal ideation, while self-esteem is a vital protective factor for suicidal ideation among adolescents [17,18]. As for physical health, there was a negative relationship between subjective well-being and suicidal ideation among adolescents [13,19] Within the family context, it had been consistently reported that family dysfunction and parental discord were risk factors for suicidality among adolescents [20,21]. Specifically, a broken family structure is not only associated with the initial level of suicidal ideation but also has a persistent impact over time [22].…”

“…Beyond the relationship between sleep and suicidal ideation, our findings also support previous research demonstrating the relation between somatic symptoms and suicidal ideation. For example, loss of appetite and feelings of nausea are associated with increased suicide risk in youth [ 38 , 55 ]. In addition, this study found that reporting headaches or fever is a useful predictor of risk in male students, while reporting nausea is a useful predictor of risk in female students.…”

“…Many psychological studies examining suicide and physical health in Korea have been focused on the relationship between chronic diseases such as asthma, heart disease, and diabetes rather than somatic symptoms occurring in daily life, such as sleep and appetite. Among the few studies considering common somatic symptoms, the primary focus is on Korean children or adult populations [ 38 ]. These results are difficult to generalize to the general population across different developmental phases, and far too little attention has been paid to the youth of Korea on this topic.…”
