The instruments of this research were ST-5, 9Q and 8Q. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with stress, depression and suicidal risk outcomes. The prevalence of stress, depression and suicidal risk in this study was 6.2%, 9.1% and 2.5% respectively. In multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that stress were significantly associated with participants who live in zone 5 (Bangkok Province) [AdjOR=2.00, 95%CI(1.30-3.07)], who was risk group of burnout [AdjOR=22.34, 95%CI(16.52-30.22)] and who had low-moderate resilient quotient [AdjOR=14.28, 95%CI(8.56-23.81) and AdjOR=3.96, 95%CI(2.76-5.68)]. Depression was significantly associated with participants who live in zone 5 (Bangkok Province) [AdjOR=1.80, 95%CI(1.25-2.59)], who were risk group of burnout [AdjOR=10.86, 95%CI(8.53-13.83)] and who had low-moderate resilient quotient [AdjOR=22.41, 95%CI(14.54-34.53) and AdjOR=4.95, 95%CI(3.74-6.54)]. Suiciadal risk was significantly associated with participants who live in zone 5 (Bangkok Province) [AdjOR=2.80, 95%CI(1.43-5.50)], who were risk group of burnout [AdjOR=7.14, 95%CI(4.66-10.92)] and who had low-moderate resilient quotient[AdjOR=34.07, 95%CI(16.66-69.68) and AdjOR=5.74, 95%CI(3.01-10.95)]. That showed implication of this study reveals that in addition to internal factors and external factors as well.
