“…We are not aware of any other studies that have reported rates of proximal planning in relation to self-harm. In the context of suicide attempts, rates vary, but planning does appear prevalent in many studies (22-87%; Rimkeviciene et al, 2015). The first hypothesis was only partially supported with affective impulsivity identified as a general risk factor for self-harm but losing its significance as a predictor after adjusting for affective symptoms.…”

“…Trait impulsivity does not appear to clearly distinguish between planned and unplanned suicide attempts across a number of studies that have looked at (Rimkeviciene et al, 2015). However, this has not been explored for self-harm more generally whether or not there was any reported intent to die.…”

“…The rates of so called "impulsive" suicide attempts appear to vary depending on how this is defined. Focussing specifically on whether proximal planning was reported prior to the act (the most widely adopted criterion for "impulsive" suicidal acts) between 13% and 78% of suicide attempts appear impulsive across studies (Rimkeviciene et al, 2015). However, it is not clear whether similar findings occur for self-harm in general (though according to Csorba et al (2009) 27% report extended thinking about the act prior to non-suicidal forms of self-harm).…”

“…A recent review has suggested that unplanned suicide attempts (compared to planned attempts) are associated with less intent to die, lower lethality, interpersonal motives, absence of a mental disorder or co-morbidity (Rimkeviciene et al, 2015). However, similar research in the context of self-harm more generally is rarer (although see Haw and Hawton, 2011).…”

“…This is problematic, since such symptoms appear to be positively linked to trait impulsivity (Peluso et al, 2007) and may be more common in planned acts of self-injury (Rimkeviciene et al, 2015; although see Jeon et al, 2010;Nakagawa et al, 2009) and thus may suppress any negative relationship between trait impulsivity and planning. Positive affective states or activated mood states may also play a role in some instances of self-harm.…”

The unique relationship between childhood sexual abuse, self‐injury and suicide ideation: The mediating role of emotion dysregulation

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Child sexual abuse (CSA) has serious short-term and long-term effects, including non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicidal ideation (SI). One possible thread linking CSA to NSSI and suicide risk is emotion dysregulation. The current study assessed whether facets of emotion dysregulation mediated relations of NSSI behaviours and functions, and SI. Participants (N = 121; Mean age = 18.69, agerange 18-22; 78 per cent female), college students with a history of childhood trauma, completed an online survey. Results indicated that facets of emotion dysregulation (i.e. clarity, non-acceptance) mediated the relationship between CSA and SI. CSA was associated with automatic negative reinforcement, social negative and social positive reinforcement NSSI functions, but was not associated with NSSI behaviours. Emotion dysregulation facets did not mediate the relationship between CSA and NSSI functions. Findings highlight the need to help CSA survivors have clarity and acceptance of emotional experiences to reduce SI risk. This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial or not-for-profit sectors. K E Y W O R D S childhood sexual abuse, non-suicidal self-injury, suicide risk Key Practitioner Messages• Skill and knowledge development on emotion dysregulation related to nonacceptance and lack of clarity around emotional experiences may mitigate risk for suicidal ideation. • Providers should screen for a history of childhood traumatic events, including childhood sexual abuse for young adults who present with NSSI behaviours and suicidal ideation. • It may be helpful for practitioners to examine reasons for NSSI to help their patients with connecting their thoughts, feelings and NSSI behaviours.
