To find the prevalence and to identify the predictors of non-suicidal self-injury among school-going children..
This cross-sectional study was conducted at the University of Gujrat, Gujrat Pakistan, from September 2015 to October 2016, and comprised children with intellectual disability and hearing loss. Participants were recruited from schools for special children located in Gujranwala, Jhelum and Gujrat. Multistage stratified sampling technique was used.
Of the 325 children, 178(50.4%) had intellectual disability and 175(49.6%) had hearing loss. Findings indicated that the prevalence of self-injurious behaviour was higher in children with intellectual disability 48(27%) compared to their counterparts with hearing loss 3(2%). Neural network, when administered on whole data set, indicated type of disability 0.474(100%), education/training 0.99(20.9%) and access of counselling 0.114(24%) as important predictors of non-suicidal self-injury in both groups. On the other hand, the degree of disability (hearing loss 0.42[100%]; intellectual disability 0.32[100%]), education/ training (hearing loss 0.18[43%]; intellectual disability 0.27[84.5%]) and access of counselling (hearing loss 0.175[41.8%]; intellectual disability 0.256[78.7%]) were important predictors of non-suicidal self-injury among the participants, when neural network was run on the split files on the basis of disability.
The prevalence of non-suicidal self-injury among children with intellectual disability was higher as compared to those with hearing loss.
了解在校儿童非自杀性自伤行为的患病率，并确定其预测因素。
本横断面研究于2015年9月至2016年10月在巴基斯坦古吉拉特市的古吉拉特大学进行，研究对象为智力残疾和听力损失儿童。参与者从位于古吉兰瓦拉、杰赫勒姆和古吉拉特的特殊儿童学校招募。采用多阶段分层抽样技术。
325名儿童中，178名（50.4%）有智力残疾，175名（49.6%）有听力损失。研究结果表明，智力残疾儿童的自伤行为患病率（48名，27%）高于听力损失儿童（3名，2%）。对整个数据集进行神经网络分析时，残疾类型（0.474[100%]）、教育/培训（0.99[20.9%]）和咨询服务可及性（0.114[24%]）是两组非自杀性自伤行为的重要预测因素。另一方面，当根据残疾情况对数据文件进行拆分并运行神经网络时，残疾程度（听力损失0.42[100%]；智力残疾0.32[100%]）、教育/培训（听力损失0.18[43%]；智力残疾0.27[84.5%]）和咨询服务可及性（听力损失0.175[41.8%]；智力残疾0.256[78.7%]）是参与者中非自杀性自伤行为的重要预测因素。
与听力损失儿童相比，智力残疾儿童中非自杀性自伤行为的患病率更高。
