Abstract:
Objective To understand the life attitude of college students in earthquake-stricken area. Methods 166 college students were conducted by life value scale (LVS) and suicide attitude questionnaire (QSA). Results ①On the LVS, males( (1.85 ±0.57) , (1.73±0.55) ) got significantly higher scores than females ((1.66±0.43),(1.54±0.40)) on survival values-oriented and spiritual values-oriented, and lower scores on tool values-oriented ((2.59±0.46 vs (2.76±0.51) ) , there was significant difference on overcome values-oriented between different grades(F = 3.710, P = 0.013). On the QSA, males (3.01 ±0.51) got significantly lower scores than females (3.28 ±0.51) on the cognition of suicidal behavior difference (t=3.110, P=0.002). There were significant differences on attitude to relationship of suicides between different gender and areas (P<0.05) , and attitude to euthanasia between different gender, grades and subjects (P<0.05). ②Social valuesoriented can predict cognition of suicidal behavior, personal and tool values-oriented can predict attitude to relationship of suicides, the total of life value can predict cognition of suicidal behavior and attitude to relationship of suicides. Conclusion The life value can predict the suicide attitude of college students in earthquake-stricken area, thus the life education should be enhanced to improve their quality of life.
