Abstract

This article presents an overview on nonsuicidal self-injury in Southeast Asia. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a systematic review was conducted regarding self-injury in Southeast Asia. Seventeen studies eligible for inclusion were identified. Findings revealed that self-injury is most common among youth between the ages of 14 and 35 years old. The prevalence rates reported were from 7.1% to 11.4% in community samples and 20.7% to 75.9% in clinical samples. The most common function for self-injury is that it serves as an emotion regulation strategy, and the main causes appear to stem from individual (emotional dysregulation, low self-esteem, gender and psychiatric disorders) and environmental factors (childhood maltreatment, childhood neglect, parental invalidation and academic stress). Comorbidity with depressive disorders, adjustment disorders and anxiety disorders are most often reported. The paucity of studies with high heterogeneity calls for further research exploring self-injury which may inform better mental health practice and policymaking in Southeast Asia.

东南亚非自杀性自伤：系统文献综述

本文概述了东南亚非自杀性自伤的现状。根据系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南，对东南亚的自伤进行了系统评价。确定了17项符合纳入条件的研究。研究结果显示，自伤在14至35岁的年轻人中最为常见。社区样本报告的患病率为7.1%至11.4%，临床样本报告的发病率为20.7%至75.9%。自伤最常见的功能是作为一种情绪调节策略，其主要原因似乎源于个人（情绪失调、自卑、性别和精神障碍）和环境因素（童年虐待、童年忽视、父母无效和学业压力）。抑郁症、调节障碍和焦虑症的合并症最常被报道。由于缺乏高度异质性的研究，需要进一步研究自伤，这可能会为东南亚更好的心理健康实践和政策制定提供信息。

期刊介绍： Millennial Asia: An International Journal of Asian Studies is a multidisciplinary, refereed biannual journal of the Association of Asia Scholars (AAS)–an association of the alumni of the Asian Scholarship Foundation (ASF). It aims to encourage multifaceted, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research on Asia, in order to understand its fast changing context as a growth pole of global economy. By providing a forum for Asian scholars situated globally, it promotes dialogue between the global academic community, civil society and policy makers on Asian issues. The journal examines Asia on a regional and comparative basis, emphasizing patterns and tendencies that go beyond national borders and are globally relevant. Modern and contemporary Asia has witnessed dynamic transformations in cultures, societies, economies and political institutions, among others. It confronts issues of collective identity formation, ecological crisis, rapid economic change and resurgence of religion and communal identifies while embracing globalization. An analysis of past experiences can help produce a deeper understanding of contemporary change. In particular, the journal is interested in locating contemporary changes within a historical perspective, through the use of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches. This way, it hopes to promote comparative studies involving Asia’s various regions. The journal brings out both thematic and general issues and the thrust areas are: Asian integration, Asian economies, sociology, culture, politics, governance, security, development issues, arts and literature and any other such issue as the editorial board may deem fit. The core fields include development encompassing agriculture, industry, regional trade, social sectors like health and education and development policy across the region and in specific countries in a comparative perspective.
