Research on self-harm resilience is limited, especially for marginalized youth and those in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Key protective factors identified include social support, positive youth development, and religiosity.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Limited research exists on protective factors for self-harm, particularly in marginalized youth and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
  • Existing studies predominantly focus on Western populations, neglecting diverse cultural contexts and vulnerable groups.

Approach:

  • A comprehensive scoping review was conducted, adhering to the Arksey and O'Malley (2005) framework.
  • Peer-reviewed literature published between January 2000 and September 2020 was systematically searched and analyzed.
  • The review focused on identifying resilience and coping strategies among individuals aged 10-29 with self-harming behaviors.

Key Points:

  • Fifteen original research papers met the inclusion criteria for the review.
  • Social support, positive youth development, and religiosity emerged as frequently reported protective factors.

  • China was the primary source of LMIC-based publications.

    • Conclusions:

    • There is a significant gap in research concerning resilience and recovery from self-harm among youth in LMICs and marginalized populations.
    • Internal and external protective factors are crucial, but further investigation is needed to understand their role in these specific groups.
    • This review highlights critical areas for future research to address the unique needs of vulnerable youth experiencing self-harm.
