Abstract

Objective To explore the relationship between related factors of non-suicidal self-injury behavior (NSSI) among middle school students in Guizhou Province, so as to provide the evidence for preventing high-risk behaviors in adolescents. Methods A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 1 034 junior and senior middle school students from Zunyi City, Qiannan Prefecture and Tongren City in Guizhou Province from April to October in 2023. Questionnaire survey was conducted to collect information including Adolescent Self-injury Scale and Family Assessment Device. The R 4.4.1 software was employed for network analysis visualization, centrality indicators, and result stability assessment. Results The detection rate of NSSI behavior among middle school students in Guizhou province was 29.6%, with a detection rate of 25.5% for boys and 33.1% for girls, showing a statistically significant difference (χ²=7.07, P < 0.05). There were statistically significant differences in scores of emotional communication, egoism, family rules, positive communication, problem-solving, expression of positive emotions and management of negative emotions self-efficacy, and bullying victimization in various dimensions between middle school students with and without NSSI (Z=-13.66 to -7.05, P < 0.01). NSSI among middle school students was positively correlated with social/relational bullying, depression and anxiety, and there were relatively close connections in the network (r=0.35, 0.43, 0.42, P < 0.01). Centrality indicators showed that the highest in strength and closeness centrality were stress (Z=1.29, 1.58), the highest in betweenness centrality was for emotional communication (Z=1.91), and the highest in expected influence index was for physical bullying (Z=1.44)(P < 0.05). Conclusions Stress, emotional communication and physical bullying have significant impacts in the network of factors related to NSSI. Social/relational bullying, depression and anxiety have strong direct correlations with NSSI behavior among middle school students.
