Lee, I.-Ling. "Self-destructive behaviour among Taiwanese young people." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2010. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/2150/.
Full textAbstract:
This research aims to find out the factors as well as the mechanism of young people’s self-destructive behaviour in Taiwan. The research employed a mixed methodology- both quantitative and qualitative research methods. In the quantitative study, a self-reported questionnaire survey was carried out to investigate the individual and social factors that affected suicidality and self-harm among young people (N= 1043) aged 14-18. In the qualitative study, 20 semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with professionals to find out the mechanism of self-destructive behaviour. The results show that females are more vulnerable to self-destructive behaviours than males, but male suicide attempt is increasing. Self-destructive behaviour is shaped by a range of social, cultural and individual factors. General mental health and beliefs about death are the two individual factors that are highly related to young people’s self-destructive behaviour. Better general health and positive belief about death indicate lower risk of self-destructive behaviour. Social factors such as family interaction, peer relationship, traditional value, economic optimism and social-political security are five important factors to affect young people’s self-destructive behaviour. Close and supportive family interactions help reduce the risk of self-destructive behaviour. However, closer peer relationship may increase the likelihood of self-destructive behaviour because of copycat behaviour, imitation or altruistic behaviour. Holding more traditional values, young people may result in bearing many pressures during the current economic recession period.

Thesis (MSc) -- Stellenbosch University, 2013.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Suicidal behaviour is a serious public health problem. Globally and in South Africa a
gendered pattern of suicide rates has been observed, with males being more likely to kill
themselves than females. To date little quantitative and qualitative research is available on
young male suicidal behaviour in South Africa. This study investigated the attitudes, beliefs
and myths young male students hold about suicidal behaviour. Thirteen male university
students (ages 20 to 25 years; with and without a history of suicidal behaviour), who
volunteered to take part in the present study in response to an email invitation, were
interviewed. The attitudes, beliefs and myths identified from the qualitative data are grouped
into four themes: 'Moral acceptability of suicidal behaviour', 'Perceived causes and risk
factors of suicidal behaviour', 'Perceived motives of suicidal behaviour', and 'Perceived
prevention and protective factors of suicidal behaviour'. Besides these four themes, two
underlying narratives are identified and discussed: (1) 'Apart or a part: Belonging and
suicidal behaviour' is centred on the idea that perceiving oneself to be an integral part of a
social system is protective against suicidal behaviour, while a thwarted sense of belonging
increases vulnerability to suicidal behaviour. (2) 'Dying to be a man: (Re) negotiating
masculinity and suicidal behaviour' is concerned with participants' views that men's
relational position to hegemonic (socially most dominant) forms of masculinity is a factor in
male suicidal behaviour. Participants regard hegemonic forms of masculinity to be both a part
of the problem of suicidal behaviour and a potential solution to suicidal behaviour. These
findings are interpreted through a social constructionist lens of gender as performance.
Finally, implications of findings for future research, prevention and treatment are discussed.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Selfmoordgedrag is 'n ernstige openbare gesondheidsprobleem. Wêreldwyd en in
Suid-Afrika is mans meer geneig as vrouens om selfmoord te pleeg. Tot op hede is daar min
kwantitatiewe en kwalitatiewe navorsing beskikbaar van jong manlike selfmoordgedrag in
Suid-Afrika. Hierdie studie ondersoek die houdings, oortuiging en mites oor selfmoordgedrag
van jong manlike studente. Dertien manlike universiteitstudente (ouderdomme 20 tot 25 jaar,
met en sonder 'n geskiedenis van selfmoordgedrag) het vrywillig aan die huidige studie deel
geneem in reaksie op 'n e-pos uitnodiging. Die houdings, oortuiging en mites wat vanaf die
kwalitatiewe data geïdentifiseer is, is in vier temas gegroepeer: 'Morele aanvaarbaarheid van
selfmoordgedrag', 'Siening van die oorsake en risiko faktore van selfmoordgedrag',
'Waargenome motiewe van selfmoordgedrag', en 'Waargenome voorkoming en
beskermende faktore van selfmoordgedrag'. Naas hierdie vier temas, is twee onderliggende
temas geïdentifiseer en bespreeek: (1) 'Samehorigheid en selfmoordgedrag' is gemoeid met
die idee dat om 'n integrale deel van 'n sosiale sisteem te wees is beskermend teen
selfmoordgedrag, terwyl 'n persepsie van isolasie tot selfmoordgedrag kan lei. (2)
'Onderhandeling van manlikheid en selfmoordgedrag' is gemoeid met die deelnemers se
sienings dat mans se verhouding tot hegemoniese vorme (sosiaal mees dominante vorme) van
manlikheid 'n faktor in manlike selfmoordgedrag is. Deelneemers beskou hegemoniese vorme
van manlikheid as beide 'n deel van die probleem en 'n moontlike oplossing vir
selfmoordgedrag. Hierdie bevindinge is geïnterpreteer deur middel van 'n sosiale
konstruksionistiese lens van geslag as prestasie. Die implikasies van die bevindings vir
toekomstige navorsing, voorkoming en behandeling word ten slotte bespreek.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to analyse and describe social work students’ view on a person with self-injurious behaviour and the following issues. The aim and focus is on the general depiction. The theoretical perspectives have been intersectionality and its focus on social constructivism, and gender perspectives. The method was semi-structured interviews with eight social work students at Linnaeus University Kalmar. The collected data was the social work students’ opinions and it was contrasted with the previous research and was analysed from the above perspectives. The main conclusion is that social work students’ view on a person with self-injurious behaviour generally not consistent with the previous research. Previous research says that a person with self-injurious behaviour generally is a young, blonde, normal female. The majority of the social work students say that a person with self-injurious behaviour is a depressed, young female with dark hair and dark clothes. The social work students focus more on why a person goes to such extremes and hurts themselves.

<p>Den här uppsatsen är en litteraturstudie som behandlar problemet självdestruktivitet ur ett sociologiskt perspektiv. Jag har valt detta för att det är ett aktuellt problem och det är intressant att se det ur en sociologisk synvinkel istället för en psykologisk som kanske är vanligare att inta. Vilka sociologiska faktorer kan spela in gällande detta problem? Den litteratur som har legat till bakgrund för studien behandlar vilka som skadar sig, varför de gör det och olika definitioner samt vilka avgränsningar som bör göras för att ringa in fenomenets innebörd. Att skära, bränna och slå sig själv visar på ett självdestruktivt beteende och en orsak kan vara depression eller ångest.</p><p>Problemställningen som jag sökte ett svar på löd: Vilka ungdomar är det som skadar sig och varför? I den teoretiska genomgången så ligger fokus på kategorierna modernitet, kropp och ungdom. Utifrån detta tas olika sociologiska begrepp upp och analyseras i diskussionsfasen. I undersökningen så har jag bl.a. kommit fram till att dagens konsumtionssamhälle samt individualiseringen är en sannolikt bidragande faktor till att vissa unga människor utvecklar ett självdestruktivt handlande.</p><br><p>This study is an attempt to adress the problem of self-destructive behaviour from a sociological point of view. I feel that this is an important isssue in contemporary society, and that a sociological perspecitve may have something to offer that the more common psychological perspective may miss out on. The literature upon which the study is based deals with questions such as: What definition of the problem is most suitable? What are the characteristics of self-destructive behaviour and why do people hurt themself deliberately?</p><p>The specific question I approached was: Who are the young people that hurt themselves and why? The theoretical framework focuses on modernity, body and youth, and I make use of sociological concepts in the discussion. Some of my conclusions were that the consumeristic society of today and the individualization could be relevant factors in developing a self-destructive pattern.</p>

Full textAbstract:
<p>Self-destructive behaviour is a more and more occurring phenomenon in today’s society and there are mostly young girls who are affected by this behaviour. There are different explanations to why the phenomenon appears. The purpose of this research essay is to give a literature overview of the phenomenon of self-harming behaviour of young girls. Two research questions have been used to study this phenomenon; How can groups of friends contribute to reinforce an identity with the self-destructive behaviour among young girls? How can Internet contributes to reinforce an identity with the self- estructive behaviour among young girls? For the analysis this research essay uses the social constructive theoretical perspective. The method used in this study is based on systematic searching of relevant literature and research. The findings indicate that groups of friends and the Internet constitute a forum where young people can create and develop their own identity. Therefore these two components can also have an important role in developing an identity with the self-destructive behaviour among young girls especially when they have a tendency to seek help from one another.</p>

Full textAbstract:
<h2>SYFTE</h2><p>Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera hur kommunikations- och samspelsförmåga uttrycks över tid när en ung man på tidig utvecklingsnivå och med autism deltar i en dyad i sherbornebehandling. Frågeställningar:</p><ol><li>Hur utvecklas kommunikations- och samspelsförmåga över tid i behandlingssituationen? </li><li>Hur utvecklas kommunikations- och samspelsförmåga i hemmet respektive skolan under samma tidsperiod? </li></ol><h1> </h1><h2>METOD</h2><p>Denna pre-experimentella fallstudie rör en 18-årig man som under drygt ett år kom till habiliteringen för att delta i arton sherbornebehandlingar med en sjukgymnast med mångårig erfarenhet av sherbornemetodik. Sherborne är en rörelsemetodik där rörelser används för att utveckla rums- och kroppsmedvetenhet och skapa relationer till andra. Samtliga arton behandlingar videofilmades och data insamlades via observation. En detaljerad nedteckning av händelseförloppet i en videoinspelning i början av behandlingsperioden och en i slutet gjordes. Under arbetet med att analysera kommunikation och samspel i videoinspelningarna uppkom behovet av att komplettera Sherbornes samspelsskala med ett bedömningsmaterial för att kunna analysera kommunikation och samspel i detalj<em> </em>med <em>personer på tidig nivå</em>, ”Brandquists & Althoffs Samspelsskala: Analys av samspel med personer på tidig utvecklingsnivå - Sherborne”, bilaga 7. För att öka tillförlitligheten i resultatet inhämtades dels kommentarer från deltagande sjukgymnast och mannens förälder under det att de såg de båda videofilmerna, dels gjordes en översiktlig analys av tio övriga videoinspelningar från sherborneperioden. Förälder och lärare intervjuades före och efter behandlingsperioden om den unge mannens kommunikation och samspelsförmåga i hemmet och på skolan.</p><h2>RESULTAT</h2><p>Resultat visar på en positiv effekt på den unge mannens förmåga till kommunikation och samspel. Under sherborneperioden framkommer gradvis en förändring av hur mannen riktade sin uppmärksamhet: från att blicken var ”tom” eller att blicken svepte över rummet till att han allteftersom kroppsligen riktade sig mot sjukgymnasten och sökte blickkontakt. Sjukgymnasten anpassade sitt förhållningssätt för att få till stånd ett så bra samspel som möjligt. Från att hon i början var mer inlyssnande och använde beröring för att bekräfta hans reaktioner, till användandet av ett ökat verbalt inslag mot slutet. I slutet av perioden började den unge mannen ta egna initiativ till samspel genom att rikta sin hand mot sjukgymnasten. Även i hem och skola ökade hans intresse för omgivningen. Han tog initiativ till kommunikation (ett ökat antal handlingssekvenser) och var på gång att utveckla delad uppmärksamhet. Han började säga ifrån mer genom att använda sin röst. Det självskadande beteendet minskade både under sherbornebehandlingen och i hemmet. I övrigt märkte både förälder och sjukgymnast en ökad balans och stabilitet i hans kropp och en förbättrad rörelseförmåga i hans svaga högersida.</p><p> </p><h2>SLUTSATSER</h2><p>Fallstudien tyder på att sherbornemetodik kan ha bidragit till en positiv effekt på såväl kommunikation och samspelsförmåga som rörelseförmåga hos denne unge man på tidig utvecklingsnivå och med autism.</p><br><h2>INTRODUCTION</h2><p>Caregivers perceive many of difficulties in interaction with persons at a presymbolic stage. In Sherborne Developmental Movement the theoretical issue is that movement experiences developing body and spatial awareness contribute to awareness of self. This gaining of body mastery is fundamental to the awareness of others, the ability to relate to others.</p><p> </p><p>The aim of this study is to analyse how communication and interaction is expressed over a period of time as a young man in an early stage of language development (pre-intentional communication) and with autism participates in a dyad in SDM sessions. Research questions:1. How do communication and interaction skills develop over time in the SDM sessions? 2. How do communication and interaction skills develop at home and school during the same period?</p><h2>METHOD</h2><p>In this pre-experimental case study an 18-year-old man with profound autism spectrum disorder, a right-sided motor disorder and a severe language impairment is participating. Giving no responses in communication, caregivers rarely perceived successful interaction. He suddenly burst out in aggressive acts. Lasting over a year he participated in an intervention consisting of eighteen SDM sessions in a dyad with a physiotherapist, skilled in SDM, at Habilitation Centre. Sessions were based on a “caring” SDM-relationship and treatment focused on basic movements. All sessions were videotaped. Communication and interaction skills were thoroughly assessed at the first and last session. In the process of analysing data the SDM scale of type of relation had to be supplemented by scales showing abilities of communication and interaction of the leader and the participant. This scale named "Brandquists & Althoff Interaction Scale: Analysis of the interaction with individuals at an early stage of development - Sherborne”, was used in reporting the data obtained in the study.</p><p>To increase the reliability of the data, comments from the participating physiotherapist and the father of the young man were registered while they individually watched the two video recordings. A somewhat simplified examination of ten of the video recordings was also made. Communication and interaction skills were also investigated at home and school through interviews and questionnaires before and after the SDM treatment. These data were then to be compare to the data of the SDM sessions.</p><p> </p><h2>RESULTS</h2><p>Results show a positive effect on communication and interaction skills of the young man. During the period of sessions he gradually changed the way of directing attention. Initially his eyes were "empty" or his gaze swept across the room to him. Later he focused on the hands of the physiotherapist while rocking his leg and eventually he physically directed himself to the physiotherapist and searched eye contact. The physiotherapist was sensitive to his physical reactions adapting her approach in order to making him feel secure and achieve trust. In the beginning she used tactile methods in her communication, but seeing he felt more secure she introduced more verbal confirming towards the end. At the end of the period he began to take communicative initiatives by approaching his hand and “pointing” at the physiotherapist.</p><p> </p><p>At home and school caregivers reported an increasing interest in the environment. He used more initiative for communication (an increased number of action sequences) and was on his way to develop joint attention. He started to use his voice to protest. The number of self-destructive behaviours decreased during the Sherborne sessions and at home. Successively he gained greater stability and balance in his body and the mobility of the weak side improved. The data obtained in interviews with caregivers confirmed the results achieved in the study and strengthened the reliability of the results of SDM.</p><h2>CONCLUSIONS</h2><p>The result of the study implies that SDM may have contributed to a positive effect on the communication and interaction skills of this young man.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Tidigare studier har visat på att i varje missbrukares liv, finns cirka fem anhöriga som riskerar att utveckla medberoende. Riskfaktorerna associerade med medberoende påverkar därför förekomsten av psykiska ohälsa och ökar risken för att utveckla andra sjukdomar såsom depression, ångest och känslomässiga problem. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur medberoende i nära relationer kan utveckla självdestruktivt beteende och psykisk ohälsa. Med hjälp av en kvalitativ metod och intervjuer som datainsamlingsmetod blev syftet med denna studie genomförd. Studien grundades på semistrukturerade intervjuer där totalt sex informanter deltog. Resultatet i studien visade på liknande resultat genom alla intervjuer, såsom förekomsten av psykiska sjukdomar, självdestruktivt beteende och vikten av introjektiv identifikation. Dessa tre kategorier kompletterar varandra i den skrivna ordningen. Resultatet tyder på att det kan vara så att den medberoende inte kan utveckla psykisk ohälsa utan fenomenet introjektiv identifikation och självdestruktivt beteende. För att det ska utvecklas någon form av psykisk ohälsa skulle den medberoende personen behöva utveckla ett självdestruktivt beteende, och resultatet tyder på att det inte är möjligt utan introjektiv identifiering i kontexten nära relationer. Dock med hjälp av anknytningsteorin och coping-strategin, visade slutsatsen att inte alla medberoende utvecklade psykisk ohälsa. Förekomsten av psykisk ohälsa påverkas av individens tidiga anknytningsmönster och copingförmåga. Studien ledde till slutsatsen att psykisk ohälsa är ett stort problem bland individer med medberoende. Medberoende är inte fastställt som en sjukdom, trots att risken för att eventuellt utveckla psykisk ohälsa finns. Trots de följdsjukdomar som medberoende medför är det ingen prioritering inom folkhälsopolitiken.<br>Previous studies have shown that in every drug addicted person’s life there is about five relatives which risks developing co-dependency. Therefore, the riskfactors affect the relative’s mental health and increase the risk of developing other illnesses such as depression, anxiety and emotional issues. The aim of the study was to investigate how co-dependency in close relationships can develop self-destructive behavior and mental illness. With the use of a qualitative method and interviews as a data collecting method, the aim for this study became fulfilled. The study was based on semi-structured interviews, performed by six participants. The results showed similar outcomes for all interviews, such as the prevalence for mental illness, self-destructive behaviour and the importance of introjective identification. These three categories complement each other in the order written. The results indicates that a co-dependent individual could not, without the phenomenon introjective identification and self-destructive behaviour acquire mental illness. However in order to acquire some kind of mental illness the co-dependent person would have to develop self-destructive behaviour, and the results showed that it is not possible without introjective identification in the context of a close relationship. Although, with the use of attachment theory and coping-strategy, the conclusion showed that not every co-dependent developed mental illness. The prevalence of illnesses was affected by the individuals early life attachment-pattern and coping skills. The study led to a conclusion that mental illness is a big issue among co-dependent individuals. Co-dependency is not a determined as a disease, despite the risk of possibly developing mental illness. It is still not a prioritization among public health authorities.

Full textAbstract:
[Truncated abstract]The overall aim of the research reported in this thesis was to develop and validate an instrument that would identify children among the general population at risk of self-harm. To achieve this, four separate yet interrelated studies were conducted. Study One, which sought to explore the risk factors of self-harm in children comprised a series of focus interviews with three paediatricians and 24 mothers of children who had self-harmed or who had verbalized self-harm ideation. The findings revealed that prior to the onset of self-harming or self-harm ideation these children reportedly manifested other problem behaviours that prompted their mothers to seek specialist advice from a paediatrician. The majority of these problem behaviours were characteristic of externalizing problems, either in the form of conduct problems, aggressive behaviours or impulsiveness. Conversely, some problem behaviours were characteristic of internalizing problems such as anxiety and depression. These findings provided valuable information which in addition to the current literature created the conceptual framework for the subsequent studies. Study Two incorporated the information obtained from Study One, along with that obtained from a review of existing instruments that measure self-harm or suicide, to develop a new instrument specifically designed to assess the risk of children in the general population developing self-harming behaviours. Initially, 159 items were generated and using the extant knowledge regarding the risk factors of self-harm as a guide, the items were categorized into risk factors of anxiety, depression, low self- ii worth, social difficulty, social withdrawal, helplessness, hopelessness, atypical cognition, emotional lability, impulsivity, self-harming ideation and self-harm. ... Study Four comprised four interrelated investigations, the purposes of which were to (i) examine the prevalence rates of self-harming ideation and self-harm among young school aged children in the general population; (ii) investigate differences of risk of self-harm between the referred group and community comparison group; (iii) examine the relationship between impulsivity and risk of self-harm in these children and, (iv) examine the relationship between executive function and risk of self-harm among these children. The results from these investigations revealed that approximately 3.5% of children aged between 6 to12 years in the general population manifest self-harming ideations and approximately 2.5% actually self-harm. No significant age or gender differences were found. Children that presented with a higher level of risk of self-harm also presented with a complex array of internalizing and externalizing problem behaviours. Furthermore, children who displayed significantly higher levels of hyperactive-impulsive symptomatology scored higher on the SHRAC instrument, as did the children who had higher levels of executive functioning impairment. The findings are discussed and interpreted in line with the current research literature and are used to make suggestions for future research.

Embora a literatura a relacione a fatores afetivo-emocionais, há escassez de pesquisas no campo da psicologia sobre esta psicodermatose. A Escoriação Psicogênica é mais comumente encontrada em mulheres que, ao agredirem a própria pele, causam uma perceptível desifiguração provocada pelas lesões. A literatura, sistematicamente revisada neste trabalho, aponta fatores desencadeantes como a dificuldade em lidar com os próprios impulsos e a compulsão, pois o paciente admite ser o causador das lesões, porém, de maneira involuntária. A pele, o maior órgão do corpo humano, tem a mesma origem embrionária que o sistema nervoso e é frequentemente associada a processos psicológicos. Quando lesionada, leva a sofrimento emocional e a afastamento afetivo e social. o presente estudo abordou os aspectos psicológicos e fatores de personalidade associados à escoriação psicogênica a partir de relatos de pacientes em processo de diagnóstico e/ou tratamento dermatológico do Instituto Lauro Souza Lima - Bauru e de resultados do IFP - Inventário Fatorial de Personalidade, aplicado em dois grupos de mulheres: 20 com e 20 sem escoriação psicogênica, sendo este útlimo, composto por trabalhadoras da prefeitura municipal da cidade do interior paulista. Este estudo investigou a história de vida, os aspectos psicológicos e os fatores de personalidade possivelmente relacionados à escoriação psicogênica em vinte mulheres com esse diagnóstico, comparando-se os resultados obtidos no IFP com os de mulheres sem a psicodermatose. Foi realizada entrevista de anamnese com as mulheres com escoriação psicogênica...<br>Psychogenic excoriation has been approached on medical studies, which both associate it to several disorders or diseases or try to identify the efficacy of distintic treatment methods, besides other themes on such area. Even though the specific literature includes it on affetive-emotional reasons, there is a lack of researchers on Psychology field on this psychodermatosis. Psychogenic excoriation is a disorder mos commonly found on women who picks - scratches - their own skin, causing them a noticeable disfiguration due to the wounds. Literature on the subject has been systematically referred to in order to produce this paper. It points out reasons such as difficulty to deal with one's own impulses and compulsion, since the patient admits being the one who causes the wounds in an involuntary manner, though. The skin, largest organ of the human body, has the same Embryo origin of the nervous system and is frequently associated to psychological processes. The wounded skin causes suffering and affective / social seclusion. In this study, the psychological aspects and the personality treat associated to psychogenic excoriation have been studied. The data has been collected from reports of patients during dermatological diagnosis or treatment on 'Instituto Lauro Souza Lima, in Bauru, and from results of a test called IFP (Inventário Fatorial de Personalidade or Personality Factorial Inventory), applied on two groups of women: the first one having twenty women suffering from psychogenic excoriation and the second one having healthy women (groups A and B). The latter has been composed from civil servers in a small town.

Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a form of direct self-harm that involves willful damage to bodily tissue without suicidal intent; it includes behaviors such as cutting, burning, carving, biting, scraping, and scratching of the skin, as well as hitting and skin and scab picking. Engagement in NSSI has been shown to relate to a host of maladaptive states and outcomes, including depression, anxiety, poor emotion regulation, and suicidal ideation and attempts. Socially sanctioned forms of body modification (e.g. tattoos and piercings) have received less attention as potential self-harm outlets, but have been posited to represent similar physical outlets of emotional pain. Indirect self-harm, in contrast, can include behaviors such as substance abuse, disordered eating, participation in abusive relationships, and sexual risk-taking. Extant literature suggests that self-harm in either form is associated with higher levels of self-criticism than healthy adults endorse. However, few studies have examined self-criticism in each of these self-harming subgroups. Female participants were recruited online using Amazon's Mechanical Turk. Results from the present study indicate that 1) direct self-harming individuals are considerably more self-critical than indirect self-harmers and control subjects, 2) those who engage in multiple forms of self-harm are more self-critical than those engaging in only one form, 3) self-criticism did not significantly predict self-harming behaviors, and 4) there are no significant differences in self-criticism based on developmental trajectory of self-harming behaviors. Additionally, individuals with body modification (e.g. tattoos, piercings) did not exhibit different levels of self-criticism than those without socially sanctioned alterations. Implications, limitations, and future directions for research of this nature are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Självskadebeteende är ett ökande fenomen bland världens ungdomar. Det har visat sig vara fler flickor än pojkar som självskadar. Psykisk ohälsa är en individuell uppfattning och därmed svår att definiera men det resulterar ofta i ett stort personligt lidande där en ständig kamp mellan gott och ont, lust och lidande pågår inom människan. Sjuksköterskan ska främja hälsa och lindra lidande och ett negativt bemötande har visats kunna förvärra ett självskadebeteende. Många med ett självskadebeteende har bemötts med kritik och känt skam över sitt beteende. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att belysa tonårsflickors upplevelser av bakomliggande orsaker till självskadebeteendet. Metod: Använd metod var kvalitativ innehållsanalys med induktiv ansats. Resultat: Ur analysen framträdde två kategorier: Utsatt för övergrepp och Känslostormarnas våld med fyra underkategorier Konklusion: Studien visar att övergrepp och känslostormar var bakomliggande orsaker och att flickorna hade svårigheter att hantera detta på egen hand. Sjuksköterskans svårigheter att bemöta tonårsflickorna med självskadebeteende kan relateras till kunskapsbrist. Studiens syfte uppnåddes då tonårsflickornas upplevelser av bakomliggande orsaker till självskadebeteendet belysts i resultatet, vilket kan ge ökad förståelse för sjuksköterskor i framtida vårdmöten.<br>Background: Self-destructive behavior is a growing phenomenon amongst teenagers in the world. It has proven to be more girls than boys who self-harm. Psychological illness is an individual perception and thus difficult to define but often results in a great personal suffering, where a constant struggle between good and evil, desire and suffering is going on within the person. A nurse shall promote health and alleviate suffering, and a negative attitude has been shown to worsen the self-destructive behavior. Many of the people with a self-harm behavior has been met with criticism and felt ashamed of their behavior. Aim: The aim of his study was to shed light on teenage girls’ experience of underlying causes of the self-destructive behavior. Method: The used method was a qualitative content analysis with an inductive approach.. Results: From the analysis of the data material emerged two categories emerged: The victim of abuse and the violence of emotional storms with four subcategories. Conclusion: The study shows that abuse and emotional storms were the underlying causes and that the girls had difficulties to handle this on their own. Nurses have difficulties to meet teenage girls with a self-destructive behavior related to their lack of knowledge. The study's aim was achieved when the teenage girls' experience of what is behind the self-harm was highlighted in the results which may increase understanding of nurses in future treatment sessions.

Full textAbstract:
Denna kvalitativ intervjustudie, söker en förståelse kring fenomenet sex som självskadebeteende. Självskadebeteende har studerats och definierats, men sex som ett självskadebeteende är inte inkluderat som ett begrepp i dessa vetenskapliga studier (Zetterqvist, 2014; Nock, 2014; Klonsky 2009). Däremot har psykologer, organisationer och andra professionella tolkat och definierat fenomenet som att det existerar (Sjöström, 2012; Landgren 2015; Jonsson och Mattson, 2013; Tjejouren 2015; MUCF, 2013).Genom intervjuer med tre olika personer som kommer i kontakt med sex som självskadebeteende, kombinerat med tidigare forskning, visar denna studie att sex kan användas som självskadebeteende och att det görs i syfte att hantera (coping) ångest och andra negativa känslor. Tidigare trauman och/eller en dysfunktionell familjedynamik kan leda till att en individ utvecklar icke fungerande strategier för att hantera potentiella dåliga känslor. Individerna vänder sig till sexuella destruktiva beteenden som en affektregleringstrategi. Studien visar att prostitution kan vara associerat med riskabelt sex, i form av att det kan vara ett sätt att utsätta sig själv för farliga situationer.Skillnader mellan sex som ett självskadebeteende och andra självskadebeteenden har påvisats. Dessa är beskrivna som att kontrollen ges bort till en annan person. Sex är också något som egentligen ger njutning och är ett naturligt beteende, vilket gör det svårt att sluta helt med till skillnad från andra självskadebeteenden. Istället behöver individen finna strategier för att kunna ha ett friskt sexuellt beteende. Då sex som självskadebeteende inte är vetenskapligt befäst, så visar resultaten på detta öppnar upp för subjektiva tolkningar kring hur man ser och bemöter fenomenet. Dock var intervjupersonerna överens om att det behövs ett öppet och normkritiskt förhållningssätt. Slutligen ställs frågan ifall vetenskapen representerar den enda och rätta kunskapen. Det är möjligt att praktisk och icke-vetenskaplig kunskap kan vara lika viktig.<br>This study aims to, through a qualitative interview approach, reach a further understanding of the phenomenon sex as a self-injury behavior. Self injury behaviors have been studied and defined, but sex as a self-injury was not included in the scientific studies Zetterqvist, 2014; Nock, 2014; Klonsky 2009). However, psychologist´s, organizations, and other professionals where interpreters and define this matter as if it existed (Sjöström, 2012; Landgren 2015; Jonsson och Mattson, 2013; Tjejouren 2015; MUCF, 2013).By interviewing three different people that come in contact with sex as a self-injury through work, combined with previous research, this study has come to show how sex can be used in the same way as any other self-injury behavior. The result shows that sex can be used for self-injury and that it is done in the purpose of coping with anxiety and other bad feelings. Previous trauma and/or a dysfunctional family dynamic can lead to an individual developing non-functional strategies to cope with potential bad feelings. Individuals turn to a sexual destructive behavior as a strategy to cope. The study shows that prostitution can be associated with risky sex as it can become a way of exposing yourself to dangerous situations.Differences between sex as a self-injury behavior and other self-injury behavior where detected. These where described in the way that control is given away to a other person. Also sex is something that usually gives pleasure and is a natural behavior so to just stop having sex is not desirable. Instead the person must find a way of having a healthy sexual behavior. The result shows that due to the fact that sex as a self-injury behavior does not have a scientific status subjective interpretation can be made on how to look an approach the phenomenon. However all the respondents agreed that you need an open and norm critical approach. Furthermore the question can be asked if scientific concepts represent the only right knowledge. Is it possible that practical and non-scientific knowledge can be as important.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation has multiple goals. First to analyze self-destructive behavior and its relations to ethics. Secondly to evaluate four different ethical perspectives regarding self-destructiveness from a certain position of human nature. The third goal is to construct a position that deals with self-destructive behavior in a way that is improved and well-managed compared to the four ethical perspectives analyzed earlier. The first goal is met by comparing and evaluating different theories concerning self-destructive behavior and discussing the ethical implications surrounding them. Self-destructive behavior is seen as a way of communicating, which puts a moral pressure on both the self-destructive person and the society around her. The four ethical perspectives represented by Robert Nozick and Thomas Szasz, two neoliberals, James B Nelson, a body theologian inspired by Paul Tillich, Gail Weiss, a body feminist and Mary Timothy Prokes, a catholic body theologian, are hence met by the problem of self-destruct, analyzed and critically evaluated. In the final chapter the author constructs an improved ethical perspective concerned with self-destructiveness, based on altruism, responsibility and broad-mindedness.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa och självskadebeteenden ökar i samhället och är ett oroväckande folkhälsoproblem. Självskadebeteende utgörs av allt från ett icke-suicidalt självskadebeteende till avsiktliga självskador som kan resultera i suicid. Självskadebeteenden kan vara en följd av psykiskt och känslomässigt lidande. Akutsjuksköterskan har en central och betydelsefull roll i mötet, när patienter med självskadebeteenden söker vård på somatisk akutmottagning. Syftetvar att beskriva faktorer som påverkar akutsjuksköterskors möte av patienter med självskadebeteenden på somatisk akutmottagning. Metod: Studien utgörs av en litteraturstudiemed systematisk metod. Föreliggande studie resulterade i 17 vetenskapliga artiklar och bearbetades utifrån en integrerad analys. Resultat: I resultatet framkom två huvudkategoriersom beskrev positiva och negativa faktorer som påverkade mötet av patienter med självskadebeteenden. De underkategorier som visades ha den främsta påverkan i akutsjuksköterskans möte med patienter med ett självskadebeteende var utbildning, erfarenhet och personcentrad vård. Akutsjuksköterskor som hade erfarenhet, kunskap och utbildninghade en större acceptans och helhetsperspektiv i mötet, vilket minskade negativa attityder till patienter med självskadebeteenden. Slutsats: En förutsättning för att se patienten bakom ett självskadebeteende på en somatisk akutmottagning och utifrån det kunna arbeta personcentrerat var att specialistsjuksköterskor inom akutsjukvård får utbildning kring självskadebeteenden. Specialistsjuksköterskan bör ha ett helhetsperspektiv i bemötandet och omvårdnaden av patienten för att främja hälsa och minska lidande hos denna sårbara patientgrupp.<br>Background: Mental illness and self-harm are increasing in society and are a worrying public health problem. Self-harm ranges from non-suicidal self-harm to intentional self-harm that can result in suicide. Self-harm can be a consequence of psychological and emotional suffering. The emergency nurse has a central and important role in the meeting when patients with self-harm seek treatment in a somatic emergency department. The aim was to describe factors that affect the meeting of patients with self-harm in somatic emergency departments.Method: The study consists of a literature study with a systematic method. The present study resulted in 17 scientific articles and was processed based on an integrated analysis. Results: The results revealed two main categories that described positive and negative factors that influenced the meeting of patients with self-harm behaviors. The subcategories that were shown to have the main impact in the emergency nurse's encounter with patients with selfharm were education, experience, and person-centered care. Emergency nurses who had experience, knowledge and training had a greater acceptance and holistic perspective in the meeting, which reduced negative attitudes towards patients with self-harm behaviors. Conclusion: A prerequisite for seeing the patient behind self-harm in a somatic emergency department and from that being able to work person-centered was that specialist nurses in emergency care receive training on self-harm behaviors. The specialist nurse should have a holistic approach to the treatment and care of the patient in order to promote health and reduce the suffering of this vulnerable patient group.

Embora a literatura a relacione a fatores afetivo-emocionais, há escassez de pesquisas no campo da psicologia sobre esta psicodermatose. A Escoriação Psicogênica é mais comumente encontrada em mulheres que, ao agredirem a própria pele, causam uma perceptível desifiguração provocada pelas lesões. A literatura, sistematicamente revisada neste trabalho, aponta fatores desencadeantes como a dificuldade em lidar com os próprios impulsos e a compulsão, pois o paciente admite ser o causador das lesões, porém, de maneira involuntária. A pele, o maior órgão do corpo humano, tem a mesma origem embrionária que o sistema nervoso e é frequentemente associada a processos psicológicos. Quando lesionada, leva a sofrimento emocional e a afastamento afetivo e social. o presente estudo abordou os aspectos psicológicos e fatores de personalidade associados à escoriação psicogênica a partir de relatos de pacientes em processo de diagnóstico e/ou tratamento dermatológico do Instituto Lauro Souza Lima - Bauru e de resultados do IFP - Inventário Fatorial de Personalidade, aplicado em dois grupos de mulheres: 20 com e 20 sem escoriação psicogênica, sendo este útlimo, composto por trabalhadoras da prefeitura municipal da cidade do interior paulista.

Even though the specific literature includes it on affetive-emotional reasons, there is a lack of researchers on Psychology field on this psychodermatosis. Psychogenic excoriation is a disorder mos commonly found on women who picks - scratches - their own skin, causing them a noticeable disfiguration due to the wounds. Literature on the subject has been systematically referred to in order to produce this paper. It points out reasons such as difficulty to deal with one's own impulses and compulsion, since the patient admits being the one who causes the wounds in an involuntary manner, though. The skin, largest organ of the human body, has the same Embryo origin of the nervous system and is frequently associated to psychological processes. The wounded skin causes suffering and affective / social seclusion. In this study, the psychological aspects and the personality treat associated to psychogenic excoriation have been studied. The data has been collected from reports of patients during dermatological diagnosis or treatment on 'Instituto Lauro Souza Lima, in Bauru, and from results of a test called IFP (Inventário Fatorial de Personalidade or Personality Factorial Inventory), applied on two groups of women: the first one having twenty women suffering from psychogenic excoriation and the second one having healthy women (groups A and B). The latter has been composed from civil servers in a small town.

Full textAbstract:
O suicídio é uma morte repentina e violenta, que choca. Pode provocar indignação, pois causa em quem ficou um hiato, em relação à experiência de dizer adeus àquele que é amado. A morte autoinfligida causa sofrimento e, por isso, o enlutado por suicídio é reconhecido como sobrevivente. Este estudo teve como objetivo a compreensão do processo de luto do(a) filho(a) da pessoa que cometeu o suicídio. Jamison (2010), Alvarez (1999) e Shneidman (1985; 1993) foram os principais autores que fundamentaram a discussão sobre o suicídio. As obras de Parkes (1998; 2009), Franco (2002; 2010), Kovács (1992; 2003) e Clark (2001; 2007), as fontes básicas consultadas para a compreensão do processo de luto. Trata-se de pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, tendo como participantes 9 (nove) filhos de indivíduos que cometeram o suicídio. Os princípios éticos de sigilo, privacidade, confidencialidade, não identificação dos dados do colaborador e liberdade de participação foram respeitados. Os depoimentos foram gravados com a anuência dos entrevistados e realizados: entrevista para a coleta de depoimento, de aproximadamente 3 (três) horas de duração e 2 (dois) contatos por e-mail para enviar a transcrição das entrevistas, e outro, depois da análise dos dados, para compartilhar com o colaborador a compreensão da pesquisadora. As unidades de significados foram extraídas conforme o método fenomenológico (Moustakas, 1994) e compreendidas pela perspectiva da abordagem da Gestalt-terapia. Observou-se que para alguns entrevistados, a superação da falta do progenitor trouxe ambivalências: vivos, foram ausentes; mortos, tornaram-se presentes. O ato suicida pode denunciar uma dinâmica familiar cujo rompimento de vínculos já acontecia, ou seja, o estresse foi experienciado antes, durante e depois do suicídio. Portanto, o suicídio não foi fator precipitante, mas, sim, o processo como um todo. Quando o filho sobrevive ao suicídio de um dos genitores pode ter uma experiência cujo sofrimento provoca culpa, raiva, ressentimentos, sensação de desamparo e de abandono, solidão, falta de oportunidade por não ter recebido colo, acalanto, cuidado, amor e direção. Considerou-se que, embora a morte seja para sempre, o luto é um processo dinâmico, no qual os enlutados tentam administrar uma diversidade de sentimentos e pensamentos: além da necessidade de compreender a morte, surge a redefinição de seu papel na família. Destaca-se também o calar e o isolamento dos depoentes. O isolamento parece acontecer para que não sejam mobilizados os sentimentos confusos e não compartilhados, que ameaçam a zona de conforto tão arduamente conquistada pelos que sobreviveram. O que se cala é o sofrimento, a dúvida e o estigma. Identificou-se que o suicídio parental é uma vivência ímpar, que permite à pessoa descobrir e desenvolver estratégias de enfrentamento em seu processo de luto<br>Suicide is a sudden and violent death, which shocks. It may cause outrage, as it causes a gap in those who remained, in relation to the experience of saying goodbye to the one who is loved. The self-inflicted death causes suffering and, thus, the bereaved by suicide is recognized as a survivor. This study had as goal the comprehension of the grieving process of the offspring of the person who committed suicide. Jamison (2010), Alvarez (1999) and Shneidman (1985; 1993) were the main authors who grounded the discussion about suicide. The works of Parkes (1998; 2009), Franco (2002; 2010), Kovács (1992; 2003) and Clark (2001; 2007), the basic sources consulted to the comprehension of the grieving process. It is a research of qualitative nature, having as participants nine (9) offspring of individuals who committed suicide. The ethical principles of secrecy, privacy, confidentiality, no identification of the data of the collaborators and freedom of participation were respected. The testimonies were recorded with the consent of the interviewees and carried out: interview - to collect the testimony, approximately three (3) hours long - and two (2) contacts by e-mail one to send the transcripts of the interviews, and other after analyzing the data, to share with the collaborator the comprehension of the researcher. The units of meaning were extracted according to the phenomenological method (Moustakas, 1994) and understood through the perspective of the Gestalt-Therapy approach. It was observed that for some interviewees, overcoming the lack of a parent brought ambivalences: as alive, they were absent; as dead, they became present. The suicidal act may denounce a family dynamic in which breaking of bonds has already happened, in other words, the stress was experienced before, during and after the suicide. Therefore, suicide was not a triggering factor, but, instead, the process as a whole. When the child survives the suicide of one of its parents, one can have an experience whose suffering causes guilt, anger, resentment, helplessness and abandonment, loneliness, lack of opportunity by not having received lap time, soothing, care, love and guidance. It was considered that, although death is forever, grief is a dynamic process, in which bereaved ones try to manage a diversity of feelings and thoughts: besides the necessity of comprehending death, comes the redefinition of their role in the family. Also noteworthy is the silence and isolation of the deponents. The isolation seems to happen for mixed and not shared feelings not to be mobilized, that threaten the comfort zone so hardly conquered by those who survived. What is silenced is the suffering, the doubt and the stigma. It was identified that parental suicide is a unique experience that allows the person to discover and develop coping strategies in their grieving process

A cada ano, 160 mil crianças e adolescentes brasileiros morrem ou se tornam incapazes, vítimas de acidentes. O estudo dos acidentes infantis mostra-se complexo na medida em que deve contemplar fatores sociais e contextuais além das motivações psicológicas, individuais, muitas vezes inconscientes do acidentado. O suporte teórico deste estudo teve como base contribuições da teoria psicanalítica e da teoria crítica. A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo entender os acidentes infantis domésticos, em crianças atendidas, no ano de 2000, pelo Pronto-Socorro do Hospital Escola de Maringá-PR. Os participantes foram oito crianças acidentadas na faixa etária de zero a dez anos, com histórico de reincidência, selecionados após um levantamento em 10.944 prontuários. Foram também realizadas entrevistas com pais ou responsáveis pela criança acidentada e com quatro médicos pediatras e uma enfermeira vinculada ao Programa Governamental Saúde da Família. As entrevistas com os profissionais tiveram o objetivo de compreender a visão que estes têm sobre os acidentes infantis. A análise dos dados foi realizada a partir de quatro grandes determinantes, a saber: o acidente como acontecimento casual, o acidente como conseqüência do descuido ou negligência do adulto cuidador, o acidente como manifestação da violência física contra a criança e o acidente como um traço depressivo da criança. Os resultados permitiram associar os acidentes a fatores sociais, biológicos, de gênero e psicológicos.

Each year 160 thousand Brazilian children and adolescents die or become disabled, victims of accidents. The study on infantile accidents is complex considering that they must embrace social and contextual factors, besides the casualty's sometimes unconscious psychological and individual motivations. This study theoretical support was based on contributions of both the psychoanalytic and critical theories. This research aimed at understanding the domestic infantile accidents of children attended in 2000 by the first-aid clinic of the School Hospital from Maringá city, state of Paraná. The participants were eight children who had suffered an accident between zero to ten year of age, with relapse history, selected after a research in 10.944 handbooks. Interviews with the parents or responsible for the children who had suffered the accident, and with four pediatric doctors and a nurse linked to the Family's Health Governmental Program have been performed. The interviews with the professionals aimed at understanding their point of view concerning the infantile accidents. The data analysis was based on four determinants: the accident as a casual event, the accident as a consequence of the carelessness or negligence of the adult responsible for the children, the accident as the manifestation of the physical violence against the child, and the accident as a depressive profile of the child. The findings allowed us to associate the accidents to psychological, sex, biological and social factors. Many times the accident have contributed to hide the depression, the negligence, and the violence against the child, assuming different meanings... (Complete abstract, click electronic access below)

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Kvinnor med självskadebeteende skadar sig inte för att de vill ta livet av sig, utan för att lindra den psykiska smärtan och för att få kontroll över ångesten. Det är viktigt att vårdpersonalen ser hela människan och inte bara beteendet, kvinnor med självskadebeteende vill bli sedda och behandlade som alla andra patienter. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva kvinnors upplevelse av vården vid självskadebeteende. Metod: En kvalitativ studie gjordes utifrån en innebördsanalys. Fem självbiografier analyserades och bildade resultatet. Resultat: De fyra teman som återfinns i resultatet; att uppleva betydelsen av mötet mellan personal och kvinnor, att uppleva behandlingen som vårdande eller skadande, att uppleva betydelsen av att få bekräftelse vid vårdandet och att uppleva betydelsen av olika känslor vid vårdandet. Dessa teman visar att kvinnor med självskadebeteende vill bli sedda samt kunna känna en tillit till sjuksköterskor och annan vårdpersonal. Tid för samtal upplevs vara viktigt för att kvinnor ska få en bra vård. Slutsats: Kvinnors upplevelser är både positiva och negativa. Delaktighet och förklaringar kring självskadebeteendet och vårdandet upplevs vara viktigt för att få en god hälsa och en god vårdtid.<br>Background: Women with self-harm don’t cut themselves because they want to die, they do it to ease the psychic pain, and they get control over their angst.

Aim: Women’s experiences of health care in regards to self-harm. Methods: The study, was made with a qualitative meaning analysis. Five self-biographies where analyzed and became the results. Results: The four themes in the results; to experience the significance of the meeting between staff and women, to experience treatment as caring or damaged, to experience the importance of getting confirmation by caring and to experience the role of emotions in caring. These themes shows that the women wants to be seen and feel trust to the nurses and other professionals. Time and places for conversations are the women`s needs for having good treatment and care. Conclusion: Women’s experiences is positive and negative.

Full textAbstract:
Albert Bandura’s construct of moral disengagement has been recognized as theoretically useful for the study of self-destructive behaviors and moral disengagement, and to provide a unique criterion for empirical investigation of United States combat veterans returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The purpose of this project is to better understand predictors related to the disengagement of moral self-sanctions in order that self-destructive behaviors related to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, such as drug and alcohol abuse, and the ultimate self-destructive behavior of suicide, might be mitigated. Charles Snyder’s hope construct, Harold Koenig and Arndt Büssing’s concept of intrinsic religiosity and Corey Keyes’ notion of psychological flourishing are chosen as viable predictor variables. Hope and intrinsic religiosity are found to be significant and to be correlated with moral disengagement. Inferences regarding the results are postulated and suggestions are made for research regarding other possible predictors of moral disengagement. Agentive moral reinforcement is discussed and proposals offered related to increasing psychological resilience and decreasing the agent’s risk associated with moral disengagement.

Orientador: Olga Ceciliato Mattioli<br>Banca: Ana Teresa de Abreu Ramos Cerqueira<br>Banca: Maria Lúcia Boarine<br>Resumo: Os acidentes infantis constituem um problema de saúde pública, causam mortes, deixam seqüelas físicas e psicológicas. A cada ano, 160 mil crianças e adolescentes brasileiros morrem ou se tornam incapazes, vítimas de acidentes. O estudo dos acidentes infantis mostra-se complexo na medida em que deve contemplar fatores sociais e contextuais além das motivações psicológicas, individuais, muitas vezes inconscientes do acidentado. O suporte teórico deste estudo teve como base contribuições da teoria psicanalítica e da teoria crítica. A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo entender os acidentes infantis domésticos, em crianças atendidas, no ano de 2000, pelo Pronto-Socorro do Hospital Escola de Maringá-PR. Os participantes foram oito crianças acidentadas na faixa etária de zero a dez anos, com histórico de reincidência, selecionados após um levantamento em 10.944 prontuários. Foram também realizadas entrevistas com pais ou responsáveis pela criança acidentada e com quatro médicos pediatras e uma enfermeira vinculada ao Programa Governamental Saúde da Família. As entrevistas com os profissionais tiveram o objetivo de compreender a visão que estes têm sobre os acidentes infantis. A análise dos dados foi realizada a partir de quatro grandes determinantes, a saber: o acidente como acontecimento casual, o acidente como conseqüência do descuido ou negligência do adulto cuidador, o acidente como manifestação da violência física contra a criança e o acidente como um traço depressivo da criança. Os resultados permitiram associar os acidentes a fatores sociais, biológicos, de gênero e psicológicos. Em muitos momentos os acidentes têm servido para ocultar a depressão...

Each year 160 thousand Brazilian children and adolescents die or become disabled, victims of accidents. The study on infantile accidents is complex considering that they must embrace social and contextual factors, besides the casualty's sometimes unconscious psychological and individual motivations. This study theoretical support was based on contributions of both the psychoanalytic and critical theories. This research aimed at understanding the domestic infantile accidents of children attended in 2000 by the first-aid clinic of the School Hospital from Maringá city, state of Paraná. The participants were eight children who had suffered an accident between zero to ten year of age, with relapse history, selected after a research in 10.944 handbooks. Interviews with the parents or responsible for the children who had suffered the accident, and with four pediatric doctors and a nurse linked to the Family's Health Governmental Program have been performed. The interviews with the professionals aimed at understanding their point of view concerning the infantile accidents. The data analysis was based on four determinants: the accident as a casual event, the accident as a consequence of the carelessness or negligence of the adult responsible for the children, the accident as the manifestation of the physical violence against the child, and the accident as a depressive profile of the child. The findings allowed us to associate the accidents to psychological, sex, biological and social factors. Many times the accident have contributed to hide the depression, the negligence, and the violence against the child, assuming different meanings...

Alguns saberes têm se destacado no estudo da autolesão, entre eles a medicina, (notadamente a psiquiatria), a psicologia e a psicanálise. Estes campos do conhecimento diferenciam os atos de ferir a si mesmo como parte de uma cultura específica ou ritual religioso das práticas autolesivas que são atribuídas a patologias ou disfunções. Estas últimas são consideradas como atos de autodestruição produzidos por pessoas que precisam de intervenções de especialistas para que deixem de ferir-se. Partimos do pressuposto de que a autolesão é um modo de subjetivação construído e transformado por diferentes discursos dependendo do contexto sociocultural em que acontece. Assim, a intenção deste trabalho é analisar, à luz da perspectiva pós-estruturalista, mensagens de pessoas que se autolesionam e discutem a sua experiência em comunidades virtuais da rede social Orkut. Resultados indicam que além dos discursos em comum com os citados campos de saber e com a religião, há ainda quem defina a autolesão como arte, maneira privilegiada de expressão das emoções ou mesmo fonte de prazer. Alguns internautas reivindicam o corpo como território de intervenção pertencente unicamente a si próprios, reclamando o direito de utilizá-lo como bem entendem, no que se pode caracterizar como um movimento de resistência à norma de ter que apresentar um corpo dócil. Por fim, compreende-se que os sujeitos envolvidos nessa prática relacionam-se com seu corpo e com as comunidades de que participam enquanto locais de produção de identidades.<br>Some fields of knowledge have been highlighted in the study of self-harm, such as medicine (especially psychiatry), psychology and psychoanalysis. These areas differentiate the acts of harming oneself as part of a specific culture or religious ritual from those recognized as pathologies or dysfunctional behavior. The last ones are considered as acts of self-destruction produced by individuals who need assistance so that they can stop self-injuring. Partimos do pressuposto de que a autolesão é um modo de subjetivação construído e transformado por diferentes discursos dependendo do contexto sociocultural em que acontece. Assuming that self-harm is a form of subjectivity produced and transformed by different speeches, depending on the social context in which it takes place, this study intends to analyze, using the post-structuralism perspective, messages left on Orkut virtual communities by people who self-harm and discuss their experiences in that social network. Results indicate discourses in common with the aforementioned fields of knowledge and with religion, as well as definitions of self-harm as art, a privileged way of expressing emotions or even a source of pleasure. Some internet users claim for the right to use their bodies as they please since it is meant to be their territory of intervention and their only, what can be understood as a movement of resistance to the rule of having a docile body. In conclusion, it is understood that the subjects involved with self-harm relate to their bodies and with virtual communities as means of producing identities.

The aim of this study is to shed light on the phenomenon of destructive sexual behavior among youth from the perspective of professionals working at nonprofit organizations. To examine this, we used a qualitative method; we interviewed professionals working at nonprofit organizations. To analyze our results we used gender theory and empowerment theory. Our main results are that the professionals view this behavior as deliberate self-harm, such as cutting, as they do it to achieve relief from anxiety. Also, the professionals think that gender norms affect young people with destructive sexual behavior in that it imposes guilt and shame, which inflicts their already low self-esteem and makes them feel inferior. The profes- sionals view this as the common denominator for this group of young people. Therefore it is very important for professionals to help these young people build self-esteem by using empowerment. Hopefully, this study can provide additional knowledge to the field of social work, due to the focus on a relatively new perspective on the phenomenon of deliberate self-harm. It is therefore important for agents in social work to have knowledge and comprehension about how to approach the phenomena and how to view and work with this group of young people.

Previous issue date: 2018-03-01<br>Introduction. Suicide is considered by researchers a multidetermined, complex phenomenon, existing since antiquity. Suicidologists emphasize the importance of developing studies making feasible the implementation of programs that bring closer health professionals and people who present behaviors at risk of suicide. Objective: To understand how physicians, psychologists, nurses, nursing technicians and community agents of Basic Care in a triple border region identify and develop care actions for people with suicidal behavior. Methodology: Study based on Alfred Schütz'sSocial Phenomenology developed in the city of Foz do Iguaçu-PR, Brazil in Basic Health Care Units. The participants' reports were collected from June 2017 to December 2017 through a semi-structured interview, with the following guiding questions: Tell me what you know about suicide and about suicide prevention. Do you know the National Guidelines for the Prevention of Suicide? Do you assist or have assisted people with suicidal behavior? Comment, from your experience, what do you understand about Care and about Care Actions? Do you develop caregiving actions for people with suicidal behavior? If so, which ones? If not, why? In your opinion, what actions could be taken with this population? What are your expectations regarding the Networks of Care with this population? Results: There are three categories unfolded in nine subcategories related to "because motive", the past/present experiences of the professionals and another category that unfolds in five subcategories related to "in-order-to motive", that is, their expectations towards the future. Final Thoughts: The collective construction fostered by the actions of permanent education can contribute to the expansion of the understanding of suicide, not only as an individual issue, but as a social problem that requires collective and community coping solutions, extensive to other social actors. The study evidenced the reflections on the difficult daily life experienced by health professionals, when faced with their own anguish related to impotence facing such a complex and challenging phenomenon for the whole society.<br>Introducción: El suicidio es considerado por los investigadores un fenomeno multideterminado, complejo, existente desde la antiguedad. Suicidólogos destacan la importancia de desenvolver estudios que viabilicen la implantación de programas que aproximen profesionales de la salud y personas que presentan comportamientos con riesgo de suicidio. Objetivo: Comprender como médicos, psicólogos, enfermería, técnicos de enfermería y agentes comunitários de atención básica , en región de triple frontera, identifican y desarrollan acciones de cuidado a las personas con comportamiento suicida. Metodología: Estudio fundamentado en la Fenomenologia Social de Alfred Schütz desenvolvido en la ciudad de Foz de Iguazu-PR, Brasil en unidades de salud de atención básica. Los informes de los participantes fueron obtenidos en el período de junio de 2017 a diciembre de 2017 por medio de entrevista semiestructurada, con las siguientes cuestiones orientadoras: Dígame lo que usted sabe sobre el suicidio y sobre la prevención del suicidio. ¿Usted conoce las Directrices Nacionales para la Prevención del Suicidio? ¿Usted atendió o atiende a personas con comportamiento suicida? ¿ Puedes comentar a partir de su vivencia lo que usted comprende sobre el Cuidado y sobre acciones de Cuidado? ¿Usted desarrolla acciones de cuidado a las personas con comportamiento suicida? Si es así, ¿cuáles? Si no, ¿por qué?, en su opinión, ¿Qué acciones podrían realizarse junto a esa población? ¿Cuáles son tus expectativas en lo que se refiere a las redes de cuidado junto a esa población? Resultados: Se destacan tres categorías desplegadas en nueve subcategorías relacionadas con los "motivos por los que”, el vivido por los profesionales y una categoría que se desdobla en cinco subcategorías relacionadas con los "motivos para", es decir, sus expectativas. Consideraciones finales: La construcción colectiva promovido por las acciones de educación permanente puede contribuir para la ampliación del entendimiento del suicidio, no solo como una cuestión individual, sino como un problema social que requiere soluciones de enfrentamiento colectivas y comunitarias, contemplando otros actores sociales. El estudio evidenció la reflexión sobre el difícil cotidiano vivido por los profesionales de la salud al encontrarse con sus propias angustias relacionadas a la impotencia frente a un fenómeno tan complejo y desafiante para toda la sociedad.<br>Introdução.

Self-injurious behaviour (SIB) is recognised as a difficult behaviour to work/deal with and Community Support Workers (CSW‟s) who work with this behaviour may not have any formal training in the field of SIB. This study was therefore aimed at assessing the needs of CSW‟s working in the field of self-injurious behaviour amongst adolescents. A qualitative approach was used, the study was of an explorative nature and the researcher made use of purposive non-probability sampling to select respondents who were willing to participate in one-on-one semi-structured interviews with the researcher. This data was then analysed by the researcher making use of Creswell‟s spiral of analysis.

M.A. (Psychology)<br>The~present study is an exploratory investigation into the deliberate self-harm syndrome. Throughout the text, a distinction is made between other types of self-harm (for example, indirect self-harm such as alcohol abuse; "direct self-harm performed by a psychotic individual) and the self-harm performed within the deliberate self-harm syndrome (that is, direct, voluntary, non-lethal self-harm, performed by a non-psychiatric individual). The aim of this study is to foster an understanding of this syndrome and, accordingly, to facilitate acceptance of the individuals who suffer from this syndrome, without displaying the need to classify these individuals into any one particular psychiatric category. It is hoped that this aim is realised through a discussion of associated features and related.patterns of the syndrome. This research conducted an investigation of 21 individuals who appeared to fit into the syndrome. Three of the subjects were excluded from the study because their type of self-harm and/or their motivation for self-harming differed from those individuals who suffer from the deliberate self harm syndrome. Although some queries were made about the suitability of eight of the subjects, enough evidence has been put forward by the study to assume the possible existence of such a syndrome, and for the syndrome to be taken seriously. Many grey areas were discussed with regards to the criteria that should be considered when determining whether an individual fits into the syndrome or not. This merely serves to both highlight and confirm the point that it is not a rigid psychiatric category that is being proposed, but that there are, nevertheless, certain criteria that need to be considered when whether an individual deliberately self-harms, discussed in this study) determining or not (as even though there were certain limitations in the study (most of them being related to the study's exploratory point of departure) the researcher is of the opinion that the information provided in this study, should be treated with the respect that it deserves.

Full textAbstract:
This study is an attempt to better understand the experience of self-destructive behaviour in
First Nations adolescent girls by telling their stories, discussing factors that may contribute to the
behaviours, and providing counselling insight. Not every Native girl experiences self-destructive
behaviour, however those that do require more effective solutions to their problems. There is
ample literature regarding non-Native girls and their experiences with self-destructive behaviour.
This is not the case with Native girls, and this study is an attempt to fill the literature gap, and at
the same time provide insight into counselling practice.
Many factors may contribute to the experience of self-destructive behaviour in First Nations
adolescent girls (e.g., gender, developmental stages, parenting, cultural norms and values, and
discrimination). The combination of these issues compounds each other and creates the context
for the experience of self-destructive behaviour specific to Native girls. This reality puts them at
risk for truancy, juvenile delinquency, teen pregnancy, drug and alcohol abuse, depression,
anxiety, eating disorders, self-harming, and ultimately suicide.
In order to understand the circumstances or events that lead to a young Native woman's
experience with self-destructive behaviour I interviewed three women using in-depth, semi
structured interviews. When answering the open-ended questions I asked, the interviewees
revealed a story with a beginning, middle, and end. This story reflected the different stages in
their lives, childhood, adolescence, and eventually young adulthood. Analysis of the interviews
through theme identification revealed common threads through each woman's life. Although
each woman had unique experiences, their stories revealed many commonalties. These common
themes reflect factors that counsellors should consider when counselling First Nations girls who
are experiencing self-destructive behaviour.
The results of the study suggest that counsellors should not isolate factors that lead to self-destructive
behaviour. For example, First Nations girls experience not just racism or neglectful
parenting — they experience both of the factors. The contributing factors begin early in life and
compound one another as the girl's life progresses.
Hopefully, this study contributes to the betterment of individual Native girls, also to the
betterment of the families' and communities' health.

Thesis (M.A.)--University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Humanities, 1991.<br>This study examines factors associated with attempted suicide during adolescence. The sample consists of 10 Black adolescent girls who atempted suicide in the past year, and were admitted to Baragwanath Hospital. Each subject was questioned on demographic information and completed the Separation Anxiety Test (Hansburg, 1972) and Section 1 of the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (Armsden and Greenberg, 1987), which assesses attachment to a parent. Subjects were also required to answer questions on their choice of responses. Common trends were found to exist among adolescent girls who attempt suicide. Adolescent girls who attempt suicide have disruptive home environments where parents experience marital problems. They show a low degree of attachment, high degree of hostility, stress avoidance during the stage of identity crisis, and they maintain a poor attachment-individuation balance. These findings suggest that the most common treatment strategy, ie. crisis
intervention is not sufficient as it does not deal with underlying problems of adolescent suicide.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Psicologia da Educação (Contextos Educativos).<br>O auto-dano e a ideação suicida entre os jovens são um problema sério e um foco importante de política social e prática profissional nos países ocidentais, sendo que, a nível mundial, as taxas destes comportamentos em adolescentes têm aumentado. Neste sentido, a avaliação de comportamentos de auto-dano e ideação suicida assume especial relevância. O principal objetivo deste estudo é identificar a presença de comportamentos auto-destrutivos – comportamentos de auto-dano e comportamentos suicida – em adolescentes com idades compreendidas entre os 14 e os 19 anos, da ilha de São Miguel; caracterizar os adolescentes da ilha com e sem comportamentos auto-lesivos e identificar quais as variáveis mais associadas a esses comportamentos. Dada as lacunas existentes em instrumentos de avaliação desses comportamentos, fez-se necessária a construção e validação do Questionário de Impulso, Auto-Dano e Ideação Suicida na Adolescência (QIAIS-A), numa amostra de adolescentes. Dois estudos com objetivos específicos são levados a cabo neste trabalho, o primeiro dedicado inteiramente à validação da escala QIAIS-A e o segundo à caracterização dos comportamentos auto-lesivos, sua avaliação e comparação dos mesmos em função das variáveis sociodemográficas e outras variáveis referidas pela literatura. Para o primeiro estudo foi recolhida, aleatoriamente, uma amostra de 1605 alunos do ensino secundário. A escala revelou bons indicadores psicométricos, do ponto de vista da validade, sendo que quer o total (α=.90), quer os fatores (fator Impulso α=.77; fator Auto-dano α=.88; fator Funções do auto-dano α=.94; fator Ideação suicida α=.82), apresentam bons indicadores de consistência interna. De um modo geral este instrumento revela ser bastante adequado do ponto de vista psicométrico para avaliar comportamentos de auto-dano e ideação suicida. No segundo estudo a amostra, também aleatória, é composta por 1818 alunos. Os comportamentos de auto-dano e ideação suicida são caracterizados na amostra, em função das variáveis sociodemográficas, sendo também relacionados com outras variáveis referidas na literatura da especialidade. Os resultados indicam que a taxa de adolescentes que se envolvem em comportamentos de auto-dano (31.3%) e ideação suicida (26.3%) é elevada.<br>ABSTRACT: The self-harm and suicidal ideation among young people is a serious problem and an important focus of social policy and professional practice in Western countries, whereas globally rates of these behaviours in adolescents have increased. In this sense, the assessment of self-harm behaviours and suicidal ideation is of particular relevance. The main objective of this study is to identify the presence of self-destructive behaviours - self-harm behaviours and suicidal behaviours - in adolescents aged 14 to 19 years, in São Miguel Island. The objective is to characterize adolescents with and without self-injurious behaviours and identify which variables most associated with these behaviours. Given the gaps in assessment tools of such behaviours became needed to develop and validate the Impulse, Self-harm and Suicidal Ideation in Adolescents Questionnaire (QIAIS-A) in a sample of adolescents. Two studies with specific objectives are carried out in this work; the first is entirely devoted to validate the scale QIAIS-A and the second to the characterization of self-injurious behaviours. Their evaluation and comparison is in function of socialdemographic variables and other variables mentioned in the literature. For the first study it was collected randomly a sample of 1605 high school students. The scale showed good psychometric indicators, in terms of validity, and whether the total (α = .90), both factors (Impulse factor α = .77; Self-harm factor α = .88; Functions of self-harm factor α = .94; Suicidal ideation factor α = .82), exhibit good indicators of internal consistency. Generally this tool turns out to be very suitable from the viewpoint psychometric for evaluating behaviours of self-harm and suicidal ideation. In the second study, the sample also random comprises 1818 students. The behaviours of self-harm and suicidal ideation are featured in the sample, according to sociodemographic variables, and are also related to other variables mentioned in the literature. The results indicate that the rate of adolescents who engage in self-harm behaviours (31.3%) and suicidal ideation (26.3%) is high.

碩士<br>國立彰化師範大學<br>輔導系<br>87<br>The purposes of this research were to design a death education course for high school students and to explore change in attitudes toward death, depression and self-destructive behaviors resulting from a death education program. A quasi-experimental design was adopted. The subjects were ninety-four high school juniors drawn from Nanton High School. One of the classes which composed the population constituted experimental group (N=46), and the other constituted the control group (N=48). The High School Scholastic Aptitude Test and the Lai-sh Personality Test were administered to all subjects before the experiment. Then the students of experimental group participated in a fifty-minute nine-session death education program conducted by this researcher ; and the control group did not receive any treatment during the study period. The instrument administered during pretesting and follow-up were the Death Attitude Scale, the Zung Depression Scale and the Self-destructive Behaviors Screening Scale. The t-test and one-way multi-analysis of covariance were used where appropriate.
The respondents from students of the experimental group indicated that they experienced a beneficial effect from participating in the course. Statistical analysis showed that the death education course had no immediate effects on the attitudes toward death, depression, and self-destructive behaviors of the students. However, a eight-week follow-up indicated that significant group differences were found for scores on approach-oriented death acceptance and depression, but not for self-destructive behaviors. The data suggest that the evaluated in follow-up study was successful in improving attitude toward death acceptance and decreasing the respondents'' depression. Based on the above mentioned information, the recommendations of this study provide a reference for future researchers and death educators.

Dissertação de Mestrado, Psicologia da Educação, especialidade em Contextos Educativos, 15 de Março de 2016, Universidade dos Açores.<br>Os comportamentos de autodano e a ideação suicida são fenómenos cada vez mais frequentes no quotidiano das pessoas. As situações de vida adversas, os estados emocionais desagradáveis, o isolamento social e a falta de objetivos de vida, entre outros fatores, estão na origem destes comportamentos. O comportamento de autodano e a ideação suicida reportam- se a condutas semelhantes, embora tenham subjacentes fundamentos diferentes. A chave da distinção entre estes dois comportamentos é a intencionalidade de terminar com a vida (Hamza, Stewart & Willoughby, 2012).
Por estas razões, e por serem dois comportamentos lesivos, que põem, evidentemente, em risco a vida de quem os manifesta, pareceu-nos extremamente importante, analisar estes comportamentos na Região Autónoma dos Açores, dada a escassez de estudos deste âmbito nesta região. [...].<br>ABSTRACT: Self-injury and suicidal ideation are two fenomenal more frequently in daily life. Many adversive situations, negative emotional states, social isolation, lack of goal in life time, among other factors, are underlying these behaviors. The self-injury and the suicidal ideation refers to similar conduct. The key of distinction between these two behaviors is the intention to ending up with life (Hamza, Stewart & Willoughby, 2012).
For these reazons, and for being two harmful behaviors, that, obviously, place at risk, the life of those who manifested them, it seemed extremely important to analyze these behaviors in the Azores, given the lack of studies of this scope in this region. [...].

Summaries in Afrikaans and English<br>The goal of this study is to understand the phenomenon of self mutilation by
adolescents, with whom there is no developmental or mental barrier, from an
educational-psychological perspective.
A literature study was undertaken to investigate the nature, classification, causes
and treatment of self mutilation, as well as the Educational Psychological Relations
Theory. The self mutilation of adolescents was placed within the Educational
Psychological Relations Theory framework.
The research results showed that selfmutilation, with adolescents with whom there is
no developmental or mental barrier, is a symptom of disharmonic intra- and
interpsychic processes, as it is understood within the Educational Psychological
Relations Theory. Self mutilation is used as a coping mechanism to regulate
unpleasant emotional experiences. The empirical study also showed that an
impoverished educational climate contributes to the development of self mutilation by
adolescents.<br>Die doel van hierdie studie is om die verskynsel van selfmutilering by adolessente,
by wie daar nie ontwikkelings- of geestesgestremdheid aanwesig is nie, vanuit 'n
opvoedkundig-sielkundige perspektief te verstaan.
Aan die hand van die literatuurstudie is die aard, klassifisering, oorsake en
behandeling van selfmutilering, asook die Opvoedkundig-Sielkundige Relasieteorie
verken. Die Opvoedkundig-Sielkundige Relasieteorie is as raamwerk gebruik
waarbinne die verskynsel van selfmutilering by adolessente ondersoek is.
Die navorsingsresultate het aan die lig gebring dat selfmutilering, by adolessente by
wie daar nie geestes- of ontwikkelingsgestremdheid teenwoordig is nie, 'n simptoom
is van disharmoniese intra- en interpsigiese gebeure soos dit verstaan word binne
die Opvoedkundig-Sielkundige Relasieteorie. Selfmutilering word gebruik as 'n
verdedigingsmeganisme waarmee onaangename belewinge gereguleer word. Die
empiriese studie het ook getoon dat 'n onbevredigende opvoedingsklimaat 'n groot
bydrae lewer tot die ontwikkeling van selfmutilering by adolessente.<br>Educational Studies<br>M. Ed. (with specialiation in Guidance and Counseling)

A juventude é uma fase complexa do desenvolvimento em que o jovem deve construir-se, e é
do seu meio cultural e social que pode extrair referências que o auxiliem não somente na melhor
compreensão das suas experiências emocionais e existenciais, como também na regulação das
mesmas. Na contemporaneidade, a existência de múltiplas subculturas, associadas a certas
formas de encarar a existência e a sociedade é predominante, juntamente com a multiplicidade
de produções musicais que acompanham estas mesmas subculturas. Não é de se admirar que
tais fenómenos culturais moldem comportamentos e crenças, a depender da relação que cada
indivíduo estabelece com as respetivas subculturas. É a partir deste raciocínio que se torna
importante estudar as interações das relações dos indivíduos com determinadas subculturas e
modos de experienciar a realidade que são propostos pelas músicas, que podem vir a relacionarse
com o desenvolvimento disfuncional e funcional dos jovens, no que se refere à maior ou
menor predominância de comportamentos auto-lesivos e indicadores do suicídio. Seguindo esta
lógica, para verificar a influência das subculturas e das experiências musicais nos
comportamentos auto-lesivos e na ideação suicida, foi realizado um estudo utilizando uma
metodologia quantitativa em que foram analisadas não somente as variáveis musicais, tais o
tempo de audição musical, a preferência musical e a identificação com certa subcultura, como
também a regulação emocional dos indivíduos. Estas informações foram obtidas numa única
avaliação de 448 jovens adultos dos 18 aos 35 anos (M=25.74 anos, DP= 5.29 anos), de ambos
os sexos, de nacionalidade portuguesa, e que estavam a estudar, trabalhar ou desempregados.
Foram usados testes paramétricos para amostras independentes para comparar os resultados dos
participantes (separadamente entre indivíduos que se identificam com subculturas alternativas
e aqueles que não se identificam e entre os sexos) nas diferentes variáveis estudadas, através
das versões portuguesas do Short Test on Musical Preference (STOMP-PT), do Regulation of
Emotion Questionnaire 2(REQ2), e do Questionário de Impulso, Auto-Dano e Ideação Suicida
na Adolescência (QIAIS). Foram também realizados procedimentos paramétricos para verificar
as relações existentes entre as variáveis e o diferente poder preditivo das mesmas nos
comportamentos auto-lesivos e na ideação suicida (separadamente para indivíduos que se
identificam com subculturas alternativas e aqueles que não se identificam e também para os
sexos). Os resultados demonstraram um maior risco para os comportamentos auto-lesivos e a
ideação suicida entre jovens que se identificam com subculturas alternativas, particularmente
entre as mulheres, apontando para a necessidade de atenção para esta população, assim como
apontaram para o poder preditivo de certos géneros musicais para a presença de
vii
comportamentos auto-lesivos e de ideação suicida. Ainda, os resultados apontaram para grande
diferença na manifestação dos fenómenos conforme o sexo dos participantes. Entretanto, o
maior preditor, independentemente do sexo ou da identificação à uma dada subcultura, foi a
regulação emocional disfuncional, indicando a necessidade de promover a regulação emocional
funcional em nome que os jovens tenham experiências positivas através das suas relações com
a música.<br>Youth is a complex phase of development in which young people must build themselves and it
is from their cultural and social environment that they can extract references that help them not
only to better understand their emotional and existential experiences, but also to regulate them.
In contemporary times, the existence of multiple subcultures, associated with certain ways of
facing existence and society is predominant, together with the multiplicity of the musical
productions that accompany these same subcultures. It is not surprising that such cultural
phenomena shape behaviors and beliefs, depending on the relationship that each individual
establishes with their subcultures. It is from this reasoning that it becomes important to study
the interactions of the relationships of individuals with certain subcultures and ways of
experiencing the reality that are proposed by music, which may come to relate to the
dysfunctional and functional development of young people, in reference to greater or lesser
predominance of self-destructive behaviors and indicators of suicide. Following this logic, to
verify the influence of subcultures and musical experiences on self-destructive behaviors and
suicide ideation, it was used a quantitative methodologic aprroach where were analyzed not
only musical variables, such as the time of musical listening, musical preference and
identification with a certain subculture, but also the emotional regulation of individuals. This
information was obtained in a single evaluation of young adults between the ages of 18 and 35
years (M=25.74 years, SD= 5.29 years), of both sexes, of portuguese nationality and who were
studying, working or unemployed.
Parametric tests were used to compare the results of participants from independent samples
(separately between individuals who identify with alternative subcultures and those who do not
identify themselves and between the sexes) in the different variables studied, through the
viii
Portuguese versions of the Short Test on Musical Preference (STOMP-PT), the Regulation of
Emotion Questionnaire 2 (REQ2), and the Questionnaire of Impulse, Self-Damage and Suicidal
Ideation in Adolescence (QIAIS). Parametric procedures were also performed to verify the
relationships between the variables and their different predictive power for self-destructive
behaviors and suicidal ideation (separately for individuals who identify with alternative
subcultures and those who do not identify and also for the sexes). The results showed a higher
risk for self-destructive behaviors and suicidal ideation among young people who identify with
alternative subcultures, particularly among women, pointing to the need of focusing on this
population, as well as pointed to the predictive power of certain musical genres for the presence
of self-destructive behaviors and suicidal ideation. Furthermore, the results pointed to a great
difference in the manifestation of the phenomena according to the sex of the participants.
However, the greatest predictor, regardless of sex or identification to a given subculture, was
the dysfunctional emotional regulation, indicating the need to promote functional emotional
regulation on behalf that young people have positive experiences through their relations with
music.
