The purpose of this study was to identify whether a past history of childhood sexual abuse is a risk factor for repeated Deliberate Self-Harm (DSH). The study was a 6-month prospective study of 178 patients responsible for 190 consecutive cases of DSH seen during a 3-month censoring period. Patients were identified by review of the in-patient and accident and emergency (A&E) records of all cases of DSH at the A&E department of a major teaching hospital. Patients with a history of childhood sexual abuse showed a marked clustering of four major risk factors for repeat DSH (unemployment, past deliberate self-poisoning, self-injury and psychiatric illness) and were significantly more likely to repeat DSH within the 6-month follow-up period.
本研究的目的是确定儿童期性虐待史是否为反复故意自伤(DSH)的一个风险因素。该研究是一项为期6个月的前瞻性研究,对象为178例患者,这些患者在3个月的审查期内导致了190例连续的DSH病例。通过查阅一家大型教学医院急诊科所有DSH病例的住院和急诊(A&E)记录来确定患者。有儿童期性虐待史的患者在重复DSH的四个主要风险因素(失业、既往故意自我中毒、自我伤害和精神疾病)方面表现出明显的聚集性,并且在6个月的随访期内更有可能再次出现DSH。
