The present research investigated wall/object punching as a form of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) among 1,143 veterans seeking treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Wall/object punching was remarkably common in this sample (43%), and its inclusion in the definition of NSSI increased estimated prevalence of recent NSSI by 14%. As expected, wall/object punching was strongly associated with other traditional forms of NSSI, post-NSSI relief, and suicide ideation. Male veterans and veterans with PTSD were significantly more likely to engage in wall/object punching than female veterans and veterans without PTSD. More research on this important but under-recognized form of NSSI is needed.
本研究调查了 1143 名寻求创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)治疗的退伍军人中,将墙壁/物体撞击作为非自杀性自我伤害(NSSI)的一种形式。在这个样本中,墙壁/物体撞击非常普遍(43%),将其纳入 NSSI 的定义将最近 NSSI 的估计患病率提高了 14%。正如预期的那样,墙壁/物体撞击与其他传统形式的 NSSI、NSSI 后缓解和自杀意念强烈相关。男性退伍军人和 PTSD 退伍军人比女性退伍军人和没有 PTSD 的退伍军人更有可能进行墙壁/物体撞击。需要对这种重要但未被充分认识的 NSSI 形式进行更多研究。
