越南2019-2020年自殺之相關因素探討

Perceptions of suicidal behavior play a crucial role in shaping public attitudes and responses toward individuals at risk. This study aims to examine social attitudes toward suicide in Vietnam and to identify key factors associated with these attitudes. The analysis is based on secondary data from the World Values Survey Wave 7 (WVS7) conducted in Vietnam during 2019–2020, with a nationally representative sample of 1,200 adults.Descriptive statistics show that 61.67% of respondents expressed nonaccepting attitudes toward suicide, while 38.33% demonstrated a certain level of acceptance. Binary logistic regression identified four variables with statistically significant associations: marital status, life satisfaction, religion, and family living arrangement. The findings indicate that married individuals and Buddhists are more likely to hold permissive attitudes toward suicide, whereas those with moderate levels of life satisfaction and those living with their parents or parentsin-law are less likely to accept suicidal behavior.These results suggest that, within the Vietnamese cultural context, certain social and religious norms may not necessarily act as protective factors against permissive attitudes toward suicide. Meanwhile, family cohabitation and balanced (moderate) life satisfaction appear to reinforce more restrictive views. The study highlights the need for culturally sensitive mental health education and community-based support mechanisms to reduce passive acceptance of suicide within society.Keywords: suicide, social perception, WVS7, life satisfaction, marriage, Buddhism, Vietnam
