How Do People Stop Non-Suicidal Self-Injury? A Systematic Review
Summary
Understanding Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) cessation is crucial. Intrapersonal and interpersonal factors, such as family support and professional help, significantly influence stopping NSSI behaviors.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Public Health
- Mental Health Research
Background:
- Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) is a significant public health concern.
- Limited understanding exists regarding the cessation process and individual experiences of stopping NSSI.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review and synthesize existing literature on NSSI cessation.
- To identify factors influencing the cessation of NSSI behaviors.
- To explore individuals' experiences of stopping NSSI.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature search using PRISMA guidelines across 5 databases.
- Inclusion and exclusion criteria applied to 454 identified papers.
- Synthesis and critique of 9 retained papers for qualitative and quantitative data.
Main Results:
- Intrapersonal factors (self-esteem, emotional regulation) and interpersonal factors (family support, professional help) influence NSSI cessation.
- One study described cessation as a process involving interpersonal strength development and alternative coping strategies.
- Identified limitations and implications for future research.
Conclusions:
- Further research is essential to inform effective prevention and treatment strategies for NSSI.
- Addressing intrapersonal and interpersonal factors may be key to supporting NSSI cessation.
- Developing a deeper understanding of the cessation process is warranted.
