Abstract

Purpose

Little is known about the clinical characteristics and motivations for engaging in non-suicide self-injury (NSSI) behaviors in adolescence. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence, characteristics and functions of NSSI among adolescents in community settings, and to explore risk factors related to this behavior.

Subjects and methods

Two hundred and seventy-five adolescents aged 12 to 17 were recruited randomly from different High Schools in Israel. They completed self-report questionnaires assessing NSSI (Ottawa Self-Injury Inventory), depression (Children's Depression Inventory – CDI) and impulsivity (Barratt Impulsiveness Scale – BIS-II).

Results

In the past year, 20.7% of the participants reported engaging NSSI at least once. Among them, 42.1% declared they are still engaging in NSSI at the present. Motives for NSSI were internal emotion regulation reasons, external emotion regulation reasons for social influences. In addition, the NSSI group reported significantly higher levels of depressive, impulsivity and suicidal ideations. Depressive symptoms were found as significant predictors of NSSI in the future.

Discussion and conclusions

High rates of NSSI among community adolescents were found. Depression, impulsivity and suicidal ideation were found significantly related to NSSI. Mental health professionals in schools and in primary care should routinely assess NSSI among adolescents.

青少年非自杀性自伤的临床特点与功能

目的对青少年非自杀性自伤行为的临床特征和动机知之甚少。本研究旨在调查社区青少年自伤行为的流行、特征和功能，并探讨与此行为相关的危险因素。研究对象和方法从以色列不同的高中随机招募了275名12至17岁的青少年。他们完成了评估自伤(渥太华自伤量表)、抑郁(儿童抑郁量表- CDI)和冲动(Barratt冲动性量表- BIS-II)的自我报告问卷。结果在过去的一年中，20.7%的参与者报告至少有过一次自伤行为。其中，42.1%的人表示目前仍在从事自伤行为。自伤动机为内部情绪调节动机，外部情绪调节动机为社会影响动机。此外，自伤组报告的抑郁、冲动和自杀意念水平明显更高。抑郁症状被发现是未来自伤的重要预测因素。讨论与结论社区青少年自伤发生率较高。抑郁、冲动和自杀意念与自伤有显著关系。学校和初级保健机构的精神卫生专业人员应定期评估青少年的自伤行为。

期刊介绍： ACS Applied Polymer Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of engineering, chemistry, physics, and biology relevant to applications of polymers. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates fundamental knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, polymer science and chemistry into important polymer applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses relationships among structure, processing, morphology, chemistry, properties, and function as well as work that provide insights into mechanisms critical to the performance of the polymer for applications.
