Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases - Year 2024, Vol 50, Issue 8
Abstract
[Objective] To explore association between childhood trauma, resilience and non-suicidal self-injury in adolescents. [Methods] One hundred and fifty-eight first-episode adolescent patients with mood disorders were selected and divided into NSSI group (n=94) and non-NSSI group (n=64) based on presence or absence of NSSI. The Hamilton depression scale (HAMD), Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA), childhood trauma questionnaire (CTQ-SF) and Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC) were used to evaluate the depression and anxiety symptoms, childhood trauma and resilience. [Results] There were more cases of younger age (16.17±1.67 vs. 16.73±1.37), lower education level (30.9% vs.15.6%), left behind experience (48.9% vs. 29.7%), school bullying (46.8% vs. 25.0%), suicide ideation (85.1% vs. 37.5%) and history of attempted suicide (29.8% vs. 6.3%) in the group with NSSI compared to those without NSSI. The HAMD score (27.99±5.94 vs. 24.19±5.19), HAMA score (18.02±5.94 vs. 15.45±4.99), CTQ total score (48.43±15.40 vs. 41.97±9.75), emotional abuse score (12.77±6.06 vs. 10.19±4.06), and emotional neglect score (11.40±5.34 vs. 9.14±3.55) were higher in the group with NSSI, and the differences between the two groups were significant (P<0.05). The total scores of psychological resilience (39.83±10.27 vs. 28.66±12.75), resilience (19.59±4.92 vs. 12.28±6.47), strength (12.03±3.98 vs. 9.99±4.67), and optimism (8.98±2.97 vs. 6.47±3.73) in the group without NSSI were higher than those in the group with NSSI (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that left behind experience (OR=4.494, 95%CI: 1.192-16.940), school bullying (OR=5.983, 95%CI: 1.329-26.945), suicidal ideation (OR=13.225, 95%CI: 2.908-60.146), history of attempted suicide (OR=16.769, 95%CI: 1.845-152.379), HAMD (OR=1.264, 95%CI: 1.046-1.626), emotional abuse (OR=1.327, 95%CI: 1.093-1.612), and resilience (OR=0.468, 95%CI: 0.266-0.823) were significantly associated with adolescent mood disorders with NSSI (P<0.05). [Conclusion] Left behind experience, campus bullying, suicidal ideation and attempted suicide, emotional abuse, degree of depression, and psychological resilience may be associated with NSSI behavior in adolescents with mood disorders.
