“…Furthermore, in our study, almost all participants declared to fully know and to be aware about the 'Blue Whale Challenge' and other RSMCs, while more than half of the sample (mainly females, younger and with a higher educational level) declared to have looked for NSSI-related contents on SNS (particularly on TikTok), mostly for curiosity or for seek help/support (7,8). Dramatically, the mean age declared by participants on their first use of SNS to look for NSSI-related content ranges from 12 to 16years-old, being the lower age mainly represented by trans-gender and non-binary subjects and females, in line with previous published literature (24,(26)(27)(28). The main motivations for looking for NSSI-related contents appeared to be, according to our findings, mostly age-related, i.e.…”

IntroductionNonsuicidal-self-injury (NSSI)-related content recently emerged on social networking sites (SNS), despite its relationship with NSSI conducts is still unclear.MethodsHence, the current population-based cross-sectional study investigated the interplay between SNS use, NSSI content engagement, risky social media challenges (RSMCs), in a sample of 404 young adults (aged 18–24), focusing on the influence of problematic social media use (PSMU) and fear of missing out (FoMO).ResultsAround 51.5% of the samplewas engaged inNSSI-related contents on SNS, being mostly females (p<0.001), younger (p=0.005), transgender people and nonbinary people (p=0.030) and those who displayed higher PSMU (p<0.001) or FoMO (p=0.031). Around 66.2% of the sample currently practice NSSIs, predominantly among females (p<0.001), those using BeReal (p=0.012), actively looking for NSSIrelated contents on SNS (p<0.001) to be part of a group (p=0.0025) or learn how to practice NSSI (p=0.025). PSMU (p<0.001) and FoMO (p<0.001) emerged as significant predictors of NSSI content engagement, particularly among active seekers. NSSI conducts were significantly predicted by FoMO (p<0.001) and Snapchat (p=0.044), while negatively predicted by male sex (p<0.001), higher educational level (p=0.019) and age at which NSSI-related contents were firstly looked for (p=0.028).DiscussionThese findings underline the need to implement preventivepolicies and targeted interventions to monitor NSSI-related contents on SNS, the impact of PSMU and FoMO on NSSI, particularly among youngsters.

“…Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a significant indicator of both suicide attempts [ 1 ] and suicide itself [ 2 ], significantly raising the likelihood of suicide by up to sevenfold [ 3 ]. It has been acknowledged as a substantial worldwide public health concern [ 4 ]. NSSI refers to the intentional act of causing harm or altering body tissue without the intention of taking one's own life.…”

Background Individuals may be more likely to engage in NSSI due to negative cognitive bias, while the use of negative emotional regulation mechanisms may further contribute to NSSI. Currently, there is a dearth of studies regarding the correlation among the three variables. Method The study employed convenience sampling to collect data via online platforms from a total of 572 college students in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, China, over the period of January 2024 to February 2024. The questionnaires comprise the Non-Adaptive Cognitive Emotion Srategy Regulation Subscale, the Negative Cognitive Processing Bias Questionnaire, and the NSSI Questionnaire. Outcome Negative cognitive bias significantly and directly influences NSSI, as indicated by a beta coefficient of 0.3788 and a confidence interval of [0.2878, 0.4698]. The existence of negative cognitive bias significantly enhances the impact of non-adaptive cognitive emotion control approaches (β = 0.5613, CI [0.4808, 0.6418]). Non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies showed a significant effect on NSSI, as indicated by a beta coefficient of 0.2033 and a confidence interval of [0.0942, 0.3125]. The non-adaptive cognitive emotion control strategy serves as an intermediary between negative cognitive bias and NSSI, explaining 30.12% of the overall impact. In conclusion The results demonstrate that non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies play a partially moderating role in the relationship between negative cognitive bias and NSSI among nursing students. We emphasize the importance of non-adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies, negative cognitive biases, and NSSI among nursing students. In order to reduce the occurrence of NSSI, it is important for schools, families, and teachers to work together closely and implement a well-organized and efficient intervention to protect the mental well-being of nursing students.

“…Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) refers to behavior in which an individual directly, intentionally, and repeatedly injures his or her body tissue without a clear suicidal intention, which is not accepted and recognized by the society. 1 NSSI is common in adolescents, usually in mid-adolescence (about 14-16 years old), 2 and manifests as scratching the skin, cutting the wrist, pulling the hair, banging the head, and scalding. 3 Adolescent NSSI behavior is a worldwide concern, and its incidence varies widely among different countries and regions.…”

Objective: This study aimed to explore the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on emotion regulation in adolescent patients with nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI). Methods: A total of 72 adolescent patients with NSSI were selected as research subjects from June 2022 to May 2023 for retrospective analysis. They were divided into control group (CG) and experimental group (EG) in accordance with different management methods. CG received routine psychological support treatment, whereas EG was given ACT management on the basis of routine psychological support. The clinical management effects of the 2 groups were compared. Results: At the end of week 6 (T1) and the end of week 12 (T2), the EG had significantly higher scores of positive emotion regulation and cognitive fusion questionnaire-fusion (CFQ-F) ( P < .05). However, they had significantly lower scores on the negative emotion regulation, behavior questionnaire, function questionnaire, and adolescent self-rating life events checklist (ASLEC) than the CG ( P < .05). Conclusion: Acceptance and commitment therapy can effectively regulate the emotional state of adolescent patients with NSSI, improve psychological flexibility, reduce the effectiveness of self-injury behavior, and help such adolescents acquire the correct values in life.
