Predicting repeat self-harm in children

Abstract: The main objective of the study was to find which variables predict repetition of deliberate self-harm in children. The study is based on a group of children who took part in a randomized control trial investigating the effects of a home-based family intervention for children who had deliberately poisoned themselves. These children had a range of baseline and outcome measures collected on two occasions (two and six months follow-up). Outcome data were collected from 149 (92 %) of the initial 162 children over … Show more

“…In this study, individuals with a history of alcohol or drug misuse, emotional, sexual or physical abuse, neglect, or mental health problems were more likely to repeat self-harm than those who did not. Again, these are significant factors in other studies (Chitsabesan et al, 2003;Cyr, McDuff, Wright, Thériault, & Cinq-Mars, 2005).…”

“…These are recorded as significant factors in previous research focusing on repeat self-harm in young people (Hawton et al, 1999;Vajda & Steinbeck, 2000). Parental mental health, in particular, has been shown to be one of the strongest predictors of repeat self-harm in children (Chitsabesan et al, 2003). The suggestion might be that poor parental mental health may lead directly to problems in the young person and further episodes of self-harm to occur.…”

“…However, relatively few studies have prospectively investigated the extent to which psychosocial and psychological factors are predictive of repeat self‐harm behavior among adolescents (Fliege, Lee, Grimm, & Klapp, ). Prospective research suggests that family dysfunction and poor parental mental health are risk factors for repeated self‐harm (Chitsabesan, Harrington, Harrington, & Tomenson, ; O'Connor et al., ); however, little attention has been paid to the role of attachment in repetition of self‐harm.…”
