We examined associations between social connections and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among transgender/gender non-conforming (TGNC) youth. Data came from the 2016 Minnesota Student Survey (N = 2168). Logistic regression analyses determined connectedness factors associated with any past-year NSSI and repetitive NSSI, as well as moderating effects of significant connectedness factors on different risk factors. Almost 55% of TGNC students engaged in NSSI, and 40% of self-injurers reported repetitive self-injury. Parent connectedness, connections to non-parental adults, and school safety emerged as robust protective factors. Strategies to prevent/reduce NSSI should focus on fostering connections with prosocial adults, and ensuring schools represent safe places.
我们研究了社会联系与跨性别/性别不符合(TGNC)青年非自杀性自我伤害(NSSI)之间的关联。数据来自 2016 年明尼苏达州学生调查(N=2168)。逻辑回归分析确定了与任何过去一年 NSSI 和重复 NSSI 相关的联系因素,以及重要联系因素对不同风险因素的调节作用。近 55%的 TGNC 学生有过 NSSI 行为,40%的自伤者报告有重复自伤行为。与父母的联系、与非父母成年人的联系以及学校安全是强有力的保护因素。预防/减少 NSSI 的策略应侧重于培养与亲社会成年人的联系,并确保学校是安全的地方。
