Background Research gaps persist in understanding the underlying sociodemographic patterning of self-injury (SI). Despite its strong connection to high suicide rates in South Korea, SI in the country remains underexplored. Methods The study utilized the Discharge Injury Patient survey, an annual national survey spanning from 2004 to 2021. The study sample consisted of injury patients within the dataset. SI served as the primary outcome. Sociodemographic variables included gender, age, survey year, and state. The trends of SI prevalence over age groups and its gender distribution were examined. Multivariate logistic regression models were employed to understand the association between gender and SI. The change in the association over time was explored through stratified regression on age groups and year groups. Results The study encompassed 497,882 injury patients, with 13,139 SI patients. The prevalence of SI was higher in women (2.4%) than in men (1.5%) and peaked across ages 21–50 (2.4–2.5%). Prevalence exhibited a decline from 2004 to 2017 but experienced an upswing in 2019 to 2021, primarily attributed to the increased prevalence of SI among women. Gender gaps showed a decreasing trend over time, except for the period in 2019–2021. The higher burden of SI in women was more pronounced in younger age groups, particularly those aged ≤ 20. Regression models confirmed these patterns. Conclusion Women are more likely to experience SI in South Korea. The gender patterning varies across age groups and has undergone changes over time. Further research is imperative to delve into the root causes of these disparities.

Вackground: Non-suicidal self-injury, as a type of auto-aggression, is a widespread behavioral problem among adolescents. Researchers have noted an increase in the number of self-harm in recent years.The aim of the work: to conduct a narrative review of the scientific literature on the epidemiology of auto-aggression and non-suicidal self-injurious behavior.Method:The article presents a narrative review of domestic and foreign literature on the epidemiology of non-suicidal self-injurious behavior (NSSI). Articles were selected and analyzed in the databases MEDLINE/PubMed, Elibrary.ru, Scopus. To obtain basic information, publications from 2015 to 2022 were used, in international medical journals, as well as relevant references in the reference lists of the analyzed sources. At the same time, early publications on the subject were included for general information, definitions, and historical hindsight. The search was conducted using various variations of the specified keywords.Results: NSSI is most common in adolescents and young adults, and the age of onset has been reported to be most common between 12 and 14 years of age. There is no unambiguously accurate estimate of the prevalence of NSSI, when studying the literature, the prevalence is estimated to be in a wide range from 7.5 to 46.5% among adolescents. According to foreign meta-analyses, at present the average percentage of adolescents who have resorted to self-harm is from 16.9% to 19.5% and tends to increase. The prevalence of the phenomenon has increased greatly with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.Conclusion: Auto-aggressive behavior, self-injurious behavior, and non-suicidal self-harm are now common among adolescents. It should be noted that the prevalence rates of this phenomenon remain insufficiently studied and are presented by studies for Western countries, there is still a lack of data in studies of the adolescent population of the Russian Federation due to the low level of knowledge of the phenomenon in the country.

Nel periodo pandemico da SARS-CoV-2, molti individui hanno vissuto profondi mutamenti nel loro vivere quotidiano. Questi cambiamenti hanno coinvolto non solo la nostra quotidianità ma anche il numero e le manifestazioni psicopatologiche che i clinici si trovano a dover affrontare. Un dato allarmante è l'aumento della frequenza di disturbi dell'alimentazione così come del fenomeno del Non-Suicidal Self Injury (NSSI) negli adolescenti. Sembra esserci un comune denominatore tra queste due manifestazioni psicopatologiche, un filo conduttore, tra il corpo e il gesto autolesivo, nel corso del tempo nella nostra società "consumistica": l'abbandono del tempo lento, riflessivo, introspettivo in favore della velocità e dell'alacrità dell'azione, che analizza e inganna rapidamente e immediatamente. L'offerta di una soluzione immediatamente pronta e disponibile, come il nuovo oggetto da conseguire e possedere, certamente lenisce il disagio, ma allo stesso tempo esilia il soggetto dal suo vero Sé, si allontana dalla sua ruvidezza, smussa gli spigoli senza tuttavia livellarli. In un'epoca in cui il trascorrere del tempo appare e deve essere sempre più veloce e più tumultuoso per far fronte al tempo che viene ulteriormente accelerato verso un obiettivo indefinito, secondo una pratica consumistica che non può consentire pause o rallentamenti, il corpo "fisico e materiale" sempre immediatamente disponibile si afferma come un luogo privilegiato ed esclusivo da cui versare l'unguento lenitivo, la "pozione magica" che risulta drammaticamente disfunzionale.
