The multilevel psychosocial stressors associated with COVID-19 pandemic set the stage to investigate risk factors and groups susceptible for non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). A national sample of 9,929 Brazilian adults aged 36.1 years on average participated in the study. Cross-sectional data were collected in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. NSSI levels were considered high in the total sample (13.2%) when compared to other studies in this context. The variables with the highest explanatory power in the regression models were age, anxiety, and depression. The main risk factors were being younger, living in the South or Southeast regions of Brazil, having lower educational attainment, and having higher rates of anxiety and depression. Respondents had the highest probability of NSSI in 2022. The sustained higher rates of NSSI in 2023 compared to the beginning of the pandemic underscores the need for continuous monitoring and the development of preventive actions for self-injurious behaviors.
与新冠疫情相关的多层次社会心理压力因素为调查非自杀性自伤（NSSI）的风险因素和易感群体创造了条件。一项全国性样本研究中，平均年龄为36.1岁的9929名巴西成年人参与其中。横断面数据于2020年、2021年、2022年和2023年收集。与该背景下的其他研究相比，总样本中的非自杀性自伤水平较高（13.2%）。回归模型中解释力最强的变量是年龄、焦虑和抑郁。主要风险因素包括更年轻、居住在巴西南部或东南部地区、教育程度较低以及焦虑和抑郁发生率较高。受访者在2022年发生非自杀性自伤的可能性最高。与疫情开始时相比，2023年非自杀性自伤持续保持较高发生率，这凸显了持续监测以及制定针对自伤行为预防措施的必要性。
