Abstract
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among teenagers with depression is a major and pervasive issue. Previous studies have established peer victimization as a risk factor for non-suicidal self-injury. However, little is known about how it influences teenagers to harm themselves non-suicidally. A total of 740 depressive outpatients aged 12-18 years with non-suicidal self-injury were selected. General demographic information was collected using the self-designed scale, and relevant information was collected using the Functional Assessment of Self-Mutilation, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, the Multidimensional Peer Victimization Scale, and the Borderline Personality Features Scale for Children. After controlling for age and sex, it was discovered that depressive symptoms partially mediated the association between peer victimization and non-suicidal self-injury (p < 0.001). The mediating influence of depressive symptoms was modulated by borderline personality features. Half of the mediating effect is the moderating influence (p = 0.002). The moderated mediation model constructed in this study reveals the internal mechanism between adolescent peer victimization and non-suicidal self-injury, which is of great significance for the prevention and intervention of adolescent non-suicidal self-injury.
期刊介绍:
Psychology, Health & Medicine is a multidisciplinary journal highlighting human factors in health. The journal provides a peer reviewed forum to report on issues of psychology and health in practice. This key publication reaches an international audience, highlighting the variation and similarities within different settings and exploring multiple health and illness issues from theoretical, practical and management perspectives. It provides a critical forum to examine the wide range of applied health and illness issues and how they incorporate psychological knowledge, understanding, theory and intervention. The journal reflects the growing recognition of psychosocial issues as they affect health planning, medical care, disease reaction, intervention, quality of life, adjustment adaptation and management.
For many years theoretical research was very distant from applied understanding. The emerging movement in health psychology, changes in medical care provision and training, and consumer awareness of health issues all contribute to a growing need for applied research. This journal focuses on practical applications of theory, research and experience and provides a bridge between academic knowledge, illness experience, wellbeing and health care practice.
