“…In our sample, there was a higher prevalence of NSSI in female patients than in male ones. These data are consistent with most of the available literature [23][24][25], although some articles reported an inversion of NSSI ratio between males and females when considering the type of activation/repetition of the behavior, the severity and type of the associated psychopathology and certain cultural contexts [26][27][28][29]. In our study, the mean age of the enrolled patients was 17.07 years (SD ± 4.09), with a mean age at NSSI onset of approximately 13 years and an earlier NSSI onset in females.…”

Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) is the self-inflicted destruction of body tissues without suicidal intent with a prevalence of 1.5% to 6.7% in the youth population. At present, it is not clear which emotional and behavioral components are specifically associated with it. Therefore, we studied NSSI in a clinical sample of youth using the Ottawa Self-injury Inventory and the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale 11. The Mann–Whitney test was used to compare the numerical responses provided to the tests. We found 54 patients with NSSI, with a mean age of 17 years. Scores were analyzed in the total sample and in four subgroups. In the total sample, Internal Emotion and External Emotion Regulation, Craving, Non-Planning and Total Impulsivity were significantly associated with NSSI. There were statistically significant differences in Craving between patients with multiple NSSI episodes, suicide attempts and multiple injury modes and patients of other corresponding subgroups, in Internal Emotion Regulation, Sensation Seeking and Motor Impulsivity between NSSI patients with suicide attempts and no suicide attempts, and in Cognitive Impulsivity between NSSI patients with multiple injury modes and one injury mode. It is necessary to carefully evaluate the components underlying NSSI in order to activate personalized treatment options.

“…As in a previous study performed in the United States [1], the rate of physical or sexual abuse was also high in the self-harm group in this study. In addition, sexual, physical, emotional abuse, and emotional neglect, have been associated with self-harm in studies conducted in several other countries [43,44]. Thus, regardless of race or geographical location, childhood abuse appears to increase the risk of self-harm.…”

Background: Self-harm is an important public health problem with increasing incidences among adolescents for over a decade. This study aimed to identify factors associated with self-harm in adolescent psychiatric inpatients in Korea. We also investigated clinical characteristics associated with nonsuicidal self-injury disorder (NSSI-D) and suicidal behavior disorder (SBD) according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 criteria.Methods: This retrospective study included 215 adolescents aged between 12 to 18 years, who were admitted to the psychiatric ward of Samsung Medical Center, Seoul, Korea, from January 2014 to February 2021. Participants were divided into three groups according to NSSI-D and SBD diagnostic criteria. Collected data were analyzed using chi-square test and analysis of variance test.Results: Overall, 57.7% of the participants (n=124) reported self-harm at least once in their lives. Patients with self-harm were more likely to have experienced parental conflict, parent-child relational problems, and verbal, physical, or sexual abuse. Among the three groups divided according to NSSI-D and SBD diagnostic criteria, patients with both NSSI-D and SBD were more likely to have experienced parent-child relational problems than those with either NSSI-D only or SBD only.Conclusion: This study shows that parent-child relational problem is associated with high incidences of selfharm. Especially, the parent-child relational problem seemed to be a risk factor for SBD among patients with NSSI-D. These are important findings that provide an understanding of the self-harm characteristics and therefore improve prevention and treatment strategies in psychiatric adolescent patients.

“…Numerous studies have pointed to the female identity as a risk factor for NSSI (Brown & Plener, 2017; Idig-Camuroglu & Gölge, 2018). NSSI has been found to be more common in young women aged 16–19 years, with no significant differences observed for the other age groups (Wilkinson et al, 2022).…”

Objective Nonsuicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) in China has increasingly interested clinicians, although few studies have investigated its risk and protective factors. This study examined the risk factors of NSSI among Chinese adolescents. Methods The researchers recruited adolescent participants with NSSI from a hospital outpatient clinic to form a case group and recruited adolescents without NSSI who provided informed consent from the school to form a control group. Participants completed a questionnaire, and data were analyzed using logistic regression. Results A total of 138 cases and 276 controls participated in this study. Binary multivariate logistic regression analysis with adjusting for age and sex showed that domestic violence (OR = 8.615, 95%CI: 3.081–24.091), parental overconcern (OR = 6.995, 95%CI: 3.447–14.192), guilt (OR = 4.949, 95%CI: 2.227–10.996), and school bullying (OR = 21.676, 95%CI: 6.799–69.109) increased the risk of NSSI, while peer support (OR = 0.068, 95%CI: 0.030–0.150) and living in an urban environment (OR = 0.157, 95%CI: 0.056–0.437) decreased the risk of NSSI. Conclusion Some psychosocial factors were confirmed to be independent risk and protective factors for NSSI in this study. However, the clinical significance of the results needs to be interpreted with caution due to sample size limitations.
