Abstract: (218 Views)
Background: This study investigated factors affecting self-harming behaviors and preventing self-harming thoughts and behavior in adolescent girls. Physical, cognitive, and socioemotional changes accompany adolescence. The family and school must support the adolescent in this regard.
Methods: The research is a correlational study, and data collection was through the census method. All 150 girls aged between 12 and 24 years who lived in one of the villages (Benoband) of Bandar Abbas City, Iran, in 2022 were recruited. The deliberate self-harm inventory (Gratz, 2001), the Kutcher adolescent depression scale, the dual school climate, and school identification measure-student, the academic performance questionnaire (Pham & Taylor, 1999), and the affective family climate were used for data collection. The collected data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis in SPSS26 software.
Results: The results revealed that depression has a direct relationship with self-harm (0.30), the emotional atmosphere of the family (-0.49), and school climate and identity (-0.49). Also, the academic performance had a significant negative relationship (-0.47) with self-harm (P < 0.001). Regression analysis showed that these variables can explain 39% of the variance of adolescent self-harm behavior (F = 25.16, N = 150, P ≤ 0.001).
Conclusion: The research showed that teenagers need education and awareness in schools and families. Also, parents' education to familiarize them with the particular characteristics of adolescents, including their emotional and social characteristics, will lead to a greater understanding of the adolescent in the family and mental and psychological peace of the adolescents. A comprehensive health education program should include coping skills, interpersonal communication, goal setting, anger management, and advocacy skills.
