Self-harm in the UK military has variously been estimated at 1-5.6% compared with 4.9% in the general UK population.
To establish the overall prevalence of self-harm within the UK military, to establish the association between deployment and self-harm and to identify sociodemographic and social factors associated with self-harm within the UK military.
A cross-sectional postal survey of UK military personnel.
There were 9803 respondents. The overall prevalence of self-harm was 2.3% in the UK military. Self-harm was not associated with deployment but was significantly associated with being discharged, separated, of lower rank, female and younger age, reporting no close friends or family, reporting fewer social activities, having spent time in local authority care as a child, and having adversity in family relationships as a child.
Contrary to predictions, self-harm in the UK military is not associated with deployment. It is linked to available social support in childhood and adulthood.
英国军人自残率在 1%-5.6%之间不等，而英国普通人群中的自残率为 4.9%。
确定英国军人自残的总体发生率，确定部署与自残之间的关联，并确定与英国军人自残相关的社会人口统计学和社会因素。
对英国军人进行横断面邮寄调查。
共有 9803 名受访者。英国军人自残的总体发生率为 2.3%。自残与部署无关，但与退伍、退役、军衔较低、女性和年龄较小、没有亲密朋友或家人、社交活动较少、童年时曾在地方当局照顾以及童年时家庭关系困难显著相关。
与预测相反，英国军人自残与部署无关。它与童年和成年时期的可用社会支持有关。
