Abstract

ABSTRACT Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is the deliberate damage of bodily tissue which occurs without suicidal intent. NSSI is a common behavior among young people and a frequent focus in clinical practice. Many models of the aetiology and maintenance of NSSI are focused on emotion regulation. The role that cognition plays in the behavior is less well understood. We used thematic analysis to explore how individuals explain or attribute their engagement in NSSI. The study identified several ways of thinking that may be play a role in why people engage in NSSI. Specifically, five themes were generated: Limited Controllability, Benefits, Limited Resources, Stability, and Changing Meaning and Significance. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

个体对持续参与非自杀性自伤的描述和解释:一项定性研究

非自杀性自伤(non - suicide self injury，简称NSSI)是指在没有自杀意图的情况下故意伤害身体组织的行为。自伤是青少年中常见的行为，也是临床实践中经常关注的焦点。许多自伤的病因和维持模型都集中在情绪调节上。认知在行为中扮演的角色还不太清楚。我们使用主题分析来探讨个体如何解释或归因于他们参与自伤。该研究确定了几种可能在人们从事自伤的原因中发挥作用的思维方式。具体而言，产生了五个主题:有限可控性，利益，有限资源，稳定性和变化的意义和意义。讨论了对研究和实践的启示。
