Summary
This review examines evidence-based treatments for adolescent non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). Current therapies like CBT and DBT show comparable effectiveness, while some interventions lack sufficient evidence or may be harmful.
Area of Science:
- Psychiatry
- Adolescent Psychology
- Clinical Psychology
Background:
- Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a significant concern in adolescent mental health.
- Effective evidence-based treatments are crucial for this population.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review the evidence supporting current interventions for adolescent NSSI.
- To evaluate the efficacy and safety of various therapeutic approaches.
Main Methods:
- Conducted comprehensive PubMed searches to identify relevant studies.
- Employed ancestry analysis to trace and include related research.
Main Results:
- Developmental group therapy, individual cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavioral therapy for adolescents (DBT-A) demonstrated comparable outcomes to standard care.
- Harm reduction strategies show limited supporting evidence.
- Relaxation techniques have very limited evidence and may be perceived as harmful by some clients.
Conclusions:
- Established therapies like CBT and DBT-A are comparable to typical treatments for adolescent NSSI.
- Further research is needed to validate harm reduction strategies.
- Caution is advised with interventions like relaxation techniques due to potential negative perceptions.

01:29Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
01:28Acute Coronary Syndrome IV: Interprofessional Care
IntroductionThe management of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) aims to minimize myocardial damage, preserve myocardial function, and prevent complications.Initial ManagementInpatient management involves continuous cardiac monitoring, preferably in an ICU, focusing on blood pressure, serum sodium, potassium, and creatinine levels, and urine output. Ongoing pharmacologic management is crucial for stabilizing the patient.Supplemental Oxygen: Administer supplemental oxygen if oxygen saturation is...
01:24Nephrotic Syndrome III : Nursing Management
Nursing management for nephrotic syndrome adapts as the disease progresses, with strategies evolving to address advancing symptoms and complications.Early-Stage Management In the early stages, nursing interventions for nephrotic syndrome resemble those used in managing acute glomerulonephritis, focusing on symptom monitoring, fluid balance, and managing mild to moderate edema.Vital Signs: Regularly monitor blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, and temperature to promptly identify...
01:20Angina V: Nursing Management
Angina, a symptom of myocardial ischemia, requires a structured nursing management approach to ensure effective care and prevent complications like myocardial infarction. Comprehensive nursing care involves assessing, diagnosing, planning, implementing interventions, and evaluating outcomes, all tailored to the individual patient's needs.Patient AssessmentNursing assessment begins with a detailed subjective evaluation of symptoms, which typically include chest pain or pressure radiating to the...
01:26Acute Coronary Syndrome V: Nursing Management
Nursing Assessment:Nursing management of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) involves taking the patient's history, focusing on primary complaints such as chest pain, dyspnea, and excessive sweating (diaphoresis), as well as other symptoms like back or jaw pain, nausea, vomiting, palpitations, dizziness, and fatigue. The nurse also reviews the patient's history of cardiac events, risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, smoking, family history, and current medications.In the objective assessment,...
01:03Nursing Interventions I: Taxonomy of Nursing Interventions
Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
