Life-time prevalence of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) has consistently been found to be around 17% in community samples of adolescents. Concerns of threats to mental health in adolescents during covid-19 have been raised. Life-time prevalence of NSSI in high school students in Sweden was compared using the same item to assess NSSI at three different time points. Results showed very similar prevalence of NSSI in 2011 and 2014 (17.2 % vs. 17.7 %), and an increase to 27.6 % during the pandemic of 2020-2021. Our findings imply a need to highlight the potential psychosocial consequences of covid-19 for young people.
非自杀性自伤行为(NSSI)的终身患病率在青少年社区样本中一直稳定在 17%左右。人们对新冠疫情期间青少年心理健康受到威胁表示担忧。瑞典高中生在三个不同时间点使用相同的项目评估 NSSI,比较 NSSI 的终身患病率。结果显示,2011 年和 2014 年的 NSSI 患病率非常相似(17.2%对 17.7%),而在 2020-2021 年的大流行期间增加到 27.6%。我们的研究结果表明,需要强调新冠疫情对年轻人可能产生的心理社会后果。
