Abstract

Introduction: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a strong predictor of increased future suicidal ideation and risk. The highest prevalence of NSSI is in adolescents. NSSI is performed as a maladaptive response to emotion regulation distress when facing an intense negative emotional load. One of the physiological markers of Emotion Dysregulation (ED) can be measured quantitatively through changes in Heart Rate Variability (HRV).

Objective: The purpose of this review is to provide an overview about studies on HRV and ED in adolescents with NSSI to shed light on potential associations and to identify prospective approaches for future studies.

Method: Literature was searched through Pubmed using Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Emotion Dysregulation (ED), and Non Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) as the keywords. Inclusion criteria were full-text journal articles in English or Indonesian within the last 10 years.

Results: Studies show that ED in certain mental disorders has been associated with HRV changes through the autonomic nervous system imbalance pathway. For individuals with ED, NSSI may serve certain perceived benefits, reinforcing its repetition whenever adverse events are encountered.

Conclusions: ED in adolescents with NSSI can be observed through HRV reduction. This approach may help improve adolescent mental health by reducing NSSI and preventing suicidal tendencies.

非自杀性自伤青少年心率变异性与情绪失调的关系。

非自杀性自伤（NSSI）是未来自杀意念和风险增加的有力预测因子。自伤发生率最高的是青少年。自伤是在面对强烈的负性情绪负荷时对情绪调节窘迫的一种适应不良反应。情绪失调（ED）的生理标志之一可以通过心率变异性（HRV）的变化来定量测量。目的：本综述的目的是概述青少年自伤患者HRV和ED的研究，以揭示潜在的关联，并为未来的研究确定前瞻性的方法。方法：以心率变异性（HRV）、情绪失调（ED）、非自杀性自伤（NSSI）为关键词，通过Pubmed检索相关文献。纳入标准为近10年内的英文或印尼语全文期刊文章。结果：研究表明，某些精神障碍患者的ED通过自主神经系统失衡途径与HRV变化相关。对于ED患者来说，自伤可能会带来某些感知到的好处，每当遇到不良事件时，自伤会加强重复。结论：青少年自伤后ED可通过降低HRV观察。这种方法可以通过减少自伤和预防自杀倾向来帮助改善青少年的心理健康。
