A quasi-experimental pilot study was conducted via a convenience sample of 39 adolescents with a recent history of self-injury who were admitted to an inpatient psychiatric unit. It was postulated that the use of a safe kit would decrease the urge to self-injure during the participant's hospital stay. Participants were screened using the Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory 9 and enrolled in the study after informed consent was received. Patients designed a safe kit, filling it with items that may help them refrain from self-injury when the urge was high. At the end of the hospital stay, participants completed a questionnaire evaluating the use of the safe kit in the context of other coping skills used during their admission. Sixty-two percent (n = 23) of participants used the kit as a means of coping with urges to self-injure. Sixty-one percent of those who used the kit strongly agreed that the safe kit reduced the urge to self-injure. Further research is needed with a larger sample to explore the effectiveness of a safe kit in maintaining safety on an adolescent unit.
通过对39名近期有自我伤害史且入住住院精神科病房的青少年进行便利抽样,开展了一项准实验性试点研究。假定使用安全工具包会降低参与者住院期间自我伤害的冲动。使用蓄意自我伤害量表9对参与者进行筛查,并在获得知情同意后纳入研究。患者设计了一个安全工具包,在其中装入当冲动强烈时可能有助于他们避免自我伤害的物品。住院结束时,参与者完成了一份问卷,评估安全工具包在其住院期间使用的其他应对技巧背景下的使用情况。62%(n = 23)的参与者将该工具包用作应对自我伤害冲动的一种方式。使用该工具包的参与者中有61%强烈同意安全工具包降低了自我伤害的冲动。需要用更大的样本进行进一步研究,以探讨安全工具包在青少年病房维持安全方面的有效性。
