Although research into trauma and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is critical to informing evidence-based interventions, IRB committees express caution about the potential safety concerns these questions pose to participants. The present study examined the emotional consequences of participating in research asking questions about trauma and NSSI. A total of 544 participants completed self-report questionnaires assessing trauma exposure, NSSI, and reactions to research participation. Results indicated that trauma exposure was positively related with emotional reactions, and NSSI engagement was associated with higher incidences of trauma. Additionally, those with a history of NSSI reported greater emotional reactions and perceived drawbacks after participation. However, overall, individuals with a history of NSSI still indicated a positive research experience. Implications for how to safely conduct research with participants who have a history of NSSI and previous trauma exposure are discussed.
尽管创伤和非自杀性自伤 (NSSI) 的研究对于为基于证据的干预措施提供信息至关重要，但 IRB 委员会对这些问题对参与者可能造成的安全问题表示谨慎。本研究探讨了参与研究询问创伤和 NSSI 问题对参与者的情绪后果。共有 544 名参与者完成了自我报告问卷，评估了创伤暴露、NSSI 和对研究参与的反应。结果表明，创伤暴露与情绪反应呈正相关，而 NSSI 的参与与更高的创伤发生率相关。此外，有 NSSI 史的人在参与后报告了更多的情绪反应和感知到的缺点。然而，总体而言，有 NSSI 史的人仍然表示研究经历是积极的。讨论了如何安全地对有 NSSI 和以前创伤暴露史的参与者进行研究。
