ABSTRACT

This study examines the effects of health-related quality of life (HRQoL), long-term care insurance (LTCI) infrastructure, and the interactions between HRQoL and LTCI infrastructure on suicidal ideation (SI) in older Korean adults. This study used data collected from the 2017 Korea Community Health Survey (CHS) and administrative data. Multilevel logistic regression analysis revealed that higher HRQoL significantly lowered the risk of SI, but LTCI infrastructure was not strongly associated with the risk of SI. Furthermore, the interaction effect of HRQoL and LTCI infrastructure was significantly associated with SI. These results suggest that LTCI infrastructure helps to reduce the risk of SI among older adults.

摘要

本研究调查了健康相关生活质量 (HRQoL)、长期护理保险 (LTCI) 基础设施的影响，以及 HRQoL 和 LTCI 基础设施之间的相互作用对韩国老年人自杀意念 (SI) 的影响。本研究使用了从 2017 年韩国社区健康调查 (CHS) 和行政数据中收集的数据。多级逻辑回归分析显示，较高的 HRQoL 显着降低了 SI 的风险，但 LTCI 基础设施与 SI 的风险并不密切相关。此外，HRQoL 和 LTCI 基础设施的交互作用与 SI 显着相关。这些结果表明 LTCI 基础设施有助于降低老年人患 SI 的风险。
