“…Negative statements, feelings of shame/guilt, and expression of sense of hopelessness (e.g., I hate my life, I'm of no use to anyone, I've done something awful, this is my fault, there's no hope for the future, and nothing is going to change for the better) have been observed particularly among survivors of sexual abuse (Aakvaag et al, 2016;Feiring & Taska, 2005;Gorey, Richter, & Snider, 2001). The fact that adolescents with ADHD and disruptive behavior disorder are more likely to engage in NSSI is also consistent with other past studies that suggest that adolescents who have difficulty controlling their own behavior or lack planning or insight into their actions may engage in risk-taking behaviors that put the safety of themselves and others at risk (Allely, 2014;Hinshaw et al, 2012;Meza, Owens, & Hinshaw, 2016).…”

The objectives of this study were to examine the prevalence of, and determine the effect of adverse childhood experiences on non-suicidal self-injury among children and adolescents referred to community and inpatient mental health settings. Data for this study were obtained from the interRAI Child and Youth Mental Health dataset. A total of 2038 children and adolescents aged 8-18 years (M = 12.49; SD = 2.88, 61.1% males) were analyzed. Binary logistic regression was fitted to identify predictors of non-suicidal self-injury as a function of adverse childhood experiences, depression, and social support while simultaneously controlling for age, gender, type of patient, legal guardianship, marital status of parents/caregivers, history of foster family placement, and mental health diagnoses. Of the 2038 children and adolescents examined, 592 (29%) of this clinical sample engaged in non-suicidal self-injury. In the multivariate logistic regression model, children and adolescents who were physically abused had 49% higher odds of engaging in non-suicidal self-injury and children and adolescents who were sexually abused had 60% higher odds of engaging in non-suicidal self-injury, when compared to their non-abused counterparts. Other predictors of non-suicidal self-injury include: older age, female gender, inpatient status, depression, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder, disruptive behavior disorder, and mood disorders. Children and adolescents who had some form of social support had a 26% decrease in the odds of engaging in non-suicidal self-injury. Assessment procedures for indicators of mental health, particularly among children and adolescents with a history of adverse childhood experiences, should also take into account non-suicidal self-injury. In addition to bolstering social support networks, addressing depression and related emotion regulation skills in childhood may help prevent future non-suicidal self-injury behaviors.

Sleep problems and self-harm in adolescence

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

ResultsAdolescents with sleep problems were significantly more likely to report self-harm than those without sleep problems. Insomnia, short sleep duration, long sleep onset latency, wake after sleep on set as well as large differences between weekdays versus weekends, yielded higher odds of self-harm consistent with a dose-response relationship. Depressive symptoms accounted for some, but not all, of this association. ConclusionsThe findings highlight a strong relationship between sleep problems and self-harm. Interventions to reduce adolescent self-harm ought to incorporate sleep problems as a treatment target.

“…Consistent with previous studies (Brown & Beail ; Hannon & Taylor ; Scheifes et al . ; Allely ; Ji & Findling ), mental disorders and self‐harm were more prevalent in PwNDD. This increased the complexity of care, as we observed lengthy hospital stay, excessive use of diagnostic intervention and high likelihood of being transferred in PwNDD at the end of acute care for ADEs.…”

Background Little is known about the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of adverse drug events (ADEs) in patients with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). Objective The objective of this study was to describe and compare the demographic details of people with and without NDD hospitalised due to ADEs. Methods The all‐inclusive New South Wales Admitted Patient Data Collection from 2001 to 2014 was employed to identify ADE‐related hospitalisations in patients with NDD using the International Classification of Diseases 10th revision Australian modification codes. We derived case sets specific to different clinical groups and patient characteristics and compared proportional differences between patients with and without intellectual disability using chi squared tests. Results A total of 2173 patients with NDD were admitted for acute care of ADEs, accounting for 0.7% of all ADE‐related hospitalisations. Hospitalised ADEs among patients with NDD increased by twofold over the 14‐year study period. Psychotropic medications and opioid analgesic medications were leading causes of ADE‐related hospitalisations in patients with NDD. Compared with their counterparts, patients with NDD were younger, experienced more socio‐economic disadvantage and less private insurance coverage, suffered with less severe but different co‐morbid clinical conditions and incurred more challenges in the acute hospital care setting. Conclusion Although the pattern of ADE‐related hospitalisations in patients with NDD differed from that in patients without NDD, there is a lack of targeted healthcare programmes to meet their special needs. This study suggests the need for countermeasures in primary healthcare settings to reduce the burden of ADEs in this vulnerable group.
