The purpose of this study was to investigate what drives young individuals to repeatedly engage in non-suicidal self-harm (NSSH) behaviours. Ten people between the ages of 19 and 27 took part in semi-structured interviews. Six overarching themes and eleven sub-themes were found after using thematic analysis to evaluate the transcribed interviews. The themes offer a thorough grasp of the drivers and contributing elements to the recurring NSSH process. "The self and self-harm," "Relationship with Others," "Intolerance to Uncertainty (feeling out of control)," "Response to Stress," "Emotional Regulation," and "Cessation of self-harm" were the themes that were found.
These themes are further bifurcated as: The self and self-harm: (a) High expectations from self and (b) Punishing self; Relationship with others: (a) High expectations from family; (b) Romantic relationships and (c) Lack of social support and familial issues; Intolerance to Uncertainty: (a) Uncertainty about the future and (b) uncertainty about health; Response to stress (a) Anxiety and panic attacks and (b) Substance abuse; Emotional regulation: (a) Channelizing external aggression and frustration internally; and Cessation of self-harm: (a) Developing new skills and strategies.
By addressing the experiences and viewpoints of the participants, the themes highlighted offer insightful information on the goals and purposes of NSSH. The results of the study have important implication for intervention and preventative measures intended to encourage better coping mechanisms and improve psychological well-being in young adults dealing with recurrent NSSH. It is necessary to conduct additional research to confirm and build upon these findings and provide a more complete knowledge of this phenomenon.
