abstract="PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the factors that affect suicidal ideation among middle-aged Korean women in an urban-rural province. <br><br>METHODS: This study used a convenience sample consisting of 196 middle-aged Korean women who live in Gyeonggi Province. Data were collected between November 2013 and January 2014. <br><br>RESULTS: There were significant correlations among social relationships (r=-.18, p=.013), previous experiences of violence (r=.15, p=.032), subjective happiness (r=-.36, p<.001), depression (r=.44, p<.001), and suicidal ideation. Economic status, subjective happiness, and depression were found to have an effect on suicidal ideation (R(2)=.26). <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: The study's results demonstrate that there needs to be greater focus on middle-aged women when considering mental health interventions in rural areas of Korea. The results may also contribute to the development of improved interventions for psychological health care.<br><br>Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
