Non-suicidal self-harm behavior (SHB), which is a pervasive and dangerous problem, is frequent among adolescents and it is important to evaluate the associated psychological and social factors to better understand its nature and to plan treatment programs.
Aim of the present study is to determine the prevalence of SHB and the associated variables such as substance use, psychological, behavioral and social factors among 10th-grade students in Istanbul/Turkey.
Cross-sectional online self-report survey conducted in 45 schools from the 15 districts in Istanbul/Turkey. A representative sample of 4957 10th-grade students was studied between October 2012 and December 2012.
SHB within the previous year were reported by 14.4% of the students (n = 713). Lifetime suicidal thoughts or behavior, tobacco, alcohol and/or drug use, symptoms of depression, anxiety and impulsive, delinquent and aggressive behaviors were also associated with SHB in Turkish 10th-grade students.
The findings of the present study may be relevant in prevention and management of SHB as well as important problems among students, such as substance use, impulsive, delinquent, aggressive and suicidal behavior.
非自杀性自伤行为（SHB）是一个普遍且危险的问题，在青少年中很常见，评估相关的心理和社会因素对于更好地理解其本质以及规划治疗方案很重要。
本研究的目的是确定土耳其伊斯坦布尔十年级学生中SHB的患病率以及相关变量，如物质使用、心理、行为和社会因素。
在土耳其伊斯坦布尔15个区的45所学校进行横断面在线自我报告调查。2012年10月至2012年12月期间，对4957名十年级学生的代表性样本进行了研究。
14.4%的学生（n = 713）报告在前一年有SHB行为。终生自杀念头或行为、烟草、酒精和/或药物使用、抑郁、焦虑症状以及冲动、违法和攻击行为在土耳其十年级学生中也与SHB相关。
本研究的结果可能与SHB的预防和管理以及学生中的重要问题相关，如物质使用、冲动、违法、攻击和自杀行为。
