Abstract

Objective To explore the feature of emotion regulation strategies and family function in adolescents who suffered from non-suicidal self-injury(NSSI),in order to provide reference for the prevention and intervention of NSSI. Methods A total of 7 869 middle school students from Xi'an and Baoji in Shaanxi Province were selected into this study in January 2021, and were asked to fill in the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales(FACES),Emotion Regulation Questionnaire(ERQ),Beck Depression Inventory-Ⅱ(BDI-Ⅱ)and self-developed general information questionnaire to screen adolescents with NSSI.The emotion regulation strategies and family function of adolescents with NSSI were investigated. Results The adolescents who have reported NSSI tended to use the expressive suppression strategy with lower family adaptability and cohesion(χ²=176.637,194.786,202.284,t=9.620,P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that male,high cognitive reappraisal score and high family closeness were protective factors for NSSI(OR=0.55,0.65,0.98),while high expressive suppression score and depression were risk factors for NSSI(OR=1.27,1.08,P<0.05). Conclusions NSSI among adolescents is closely related to emotional regulation strategies and family functions.Adolescents and their parents may benefit from psychological interventions focused on emotional regulation strategies and family functions.
