Abstract:

Objective To explore the influencing factors of non-suicidal self-injury behavior and motivation in adult patients with depression. Methods A simple random sampling method was used to select 120 adult patients with depression admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to June 2023 as the research objects. The clinical information of the patients was collected, and their loneliness, frustration and self-injury motivation were evaluated. The influencing factors of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behavior and motivation were statistically analyzed. Results Age, ULS-8 score, DS score, marital status and employment status were the influencing factors of NSSI in adult patients with depression (P < 0.05). ULS-8 score, DS score, marital status (widowed/divorced) and employment status were independent risk factors for NSSI in adult patients with depression (P < 0.05). The ULS-8 score was an independent risk factor for patients with 'emotion regulation' as NSSI motivation. Age, DS score and employment (unemployment) were independent risk factors for patients with 'interpersonal boundary' as NSSI motivation (P < 0.05). Conclusion There are many influencing factors of NSSI and NSSI motivation in adult depression patients, and the influencing factors of different NSSI motivations are different. Clinically, the main motivation and related influencing factors of patients implementing NSSI should be clarified through detailed investigation, so as to facilitate the development of targeted intervention strategies for patients.
