To investigate the relationship between self-reported self-harm and dislike of dentofacial features and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL).
Anonymous, self-reporting questionnaires were completed by 699 school children (aged 13-14 years), representing over 1% of the age group in Amman, Jordan. Participants were invited from 23 randomly selected schools in 10 educational directorates. OHRQoL was assessed using the Child Perception Questionnaire (CPQ 11-14). Self-harm was assessed using a constructed self-reporting questionnaire. The relationship between OHRQoL and self-harm was assessed and significant findings were identified at probability of α = 0.05.
Over one-quarter of schoolchildren (26.9%, n = 88) admitted self-harming behavior. Self-harm was reported to be due to dislike of dentofacial appearance among 12.9% of participants (n = 90). Higher CPQ 11-14 total scores and individual dimension scores were associated with the presence of self-harm (P < .001). High self-harm incidence was reported among participants who had dentofacial features that affected appearance (P < .001). Among subjects admitting self-harm, the frequency of self-harming behavior ranged from once to over 10 times per year.
Significant relationships were found between self-harm and dislike of dentofacial features and OHRQoL.
调查自我报告的自伤行为与对面部特征和口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）的不满之间的关系。
699 名（年龄 13-14 岁）在校儿童匿名、自我报告调查问卷，这些儿童代表了约旦安曼年龄组的 1%以上。从 10 个教育区的 23 所随机选择的学校邀请参与者。使用儿童感知问卷（CPQ 11-14）评估 OHRQoL。使用构建的自我报告问卷评估自伤行为。评估 OHRQoL 与自伤之间的关系，并在概率α=0.05 时确定显著发现。
超过四分之一的（26.9%，n=88）的儿童承认有自伤行为。12.9%的参与者（n=90）报告自伤是因为对面部特征的不满。CPQ 11-14 总分和个别维度得分较高与自伤的存在相关（P<0.001）。在认为自己的面型影响外观的参与者中，自伤的发生率较高（P<0.001）。在承认自伤的受试者中，自伤行为的频率从每年一次到 10 次以上不等。
自伤与对面部特征和 OHRQoL 的不满之间存在显著关系。
