Although several studies have recently assessed direct self-injurious behavior (D-SIB) among adolescents, it is still understudied in adolescents attending vocational schools: an educational setting generally associated with lower socioeconomic status. After extending the "Saving and Empowering Young Lives in Europe" (SEYLE) project to a vocational school population, we examined their D-SIB and life event characteristics compared to the high school population. SEYLE's Hungarian randomly selected high school sample ( = 995) was completed with a randomly selected vocational school sample ( = 140) in Budapest, Hungary. Participants aged 14⁻17 years completed the SEYLE project's self-administered questionnaires. D-SIB lifetime prevalence was significantly higher (29.4%) in the vocational school group compared to the high school group (17.2%) (Χ²(1) = 12.231, < 0.001). D-SIB was associated with suicidal ideation in the vocational school group. Different life events were more frequent in the high school than in the vocational school group, and associations between D-SIB and life events differed in the vocational school group compared to the high school group. In conclusion, vocational school students are a vulnerable population with a higher prevalence of D-SIB compared to high school students. Life events and their association with D-SIB also differ in vocational school students compared to high school students. Taking all these into account might contribute to prevention/intervention designed for this population.
尽管最近有几项研究评估了青少年的直接自伤行为（D-SIB），但在职业学校的青少年中，这方面的研究仍然不足：职业学校通常与较低的社会经济地位有关。在将“拯救和增强欧洲青少年”（SEYLE）项目扩展到职业学校人群后，我们比较了他们的 D-SIB 和生活事件特征与高中人群的差异。SEYLE 的匈牙利随机选择的高中样本（=995）与布达佩斯的一所随机选择的职业学校样本（=140）相匹配。参与者年龄在 14 至 17 岁之间，完成了 SEYLE 项目的自我管理问卷。与高中组（17.2%）相比，职业学校组 D-SIB 的终身患病率明显更高（29.4%）（Χ²（1）=12.231，<0.001）。在职业学校组中，D-SIB 与自杀意念有关。与职业学校组相比，不同的生活事件在高中组中更为常见，而且 D-SIB 与生活事件之间的关联在职业学校组中与高中组不同。总之，与高中生相比，职业学校学生是一个脆弱的群体，D-SIB 的患病率更高。与职业学校学生相比，生活事件及其与 D-SIB 的关联也有所不同。考虑到所有这些因素，可能有助于为这一人群设计预防/干预措施。
