Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the current situation of suicidal self-injurious behavior in teenagers and analyze its influencing factors. Methods:From January to November 2020, a stratified sampling method was used to investigate 707 teenagers in Guangdong. The “questionnaire of health-related behaviors of Chinese teenagers” compiled by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention was used anonymously to investigate the current situation of suicidal self-injurious behavior of the teenagers. The chi-square test was used for univariate analysis, and logistic regression was used for multivariate analysis. Results:The incidence rate of suicidal self-injurious behavior was 14.57% (103/707). It was 13.31% (45/338) in males, 15.72% (58/369) in females, 13.83% (48/347) in junior high school students and 15.28% (55/360) in senior high school students. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of suicidal self-injurious behavior of teenagers between different genders, different learning stages, smoking or not, asexual behavior or not, gambling or not, and fighting or not (all P>0.05). The incidence of suicidal self-injurious behaviors in teenagers from single parent family, drunkenness, runaway, loneliness, under great study pressure, lovelorn, and mobile phone addiction was significantly higher (χ2=13.809, 10.852, 14.279, 11.451, 12.893, 22.905, 19.473, respectively. All P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that the following were main risk factors affecting the incidence of suicidal self-injurious behavior in teenagers: single parent family (OR=3.826, 95%CI: 1.402-7.501), drunkenness (OR=3.903, 95%CI: 1.512-7.368), runaway (OR=3.447, 95%CI: 1.669-7.715), loneliness (OR=3.613, 95%CI: 1.504-7.697), great study pressure (OR=3.712, 95%CI: 1.387-7.604), lovelorn(OR=4.125, 95%CI: 1.516-8.117) and mobile phone addiction(OR=4.027, 95%CI: 1.499-7.984 (all P<0.001). Conclusion:The incidence of suicidal self-injurious behavior in teenagers is not low in Guangdong, and targeted measures should be developed to screen and intervene based on the influencing factors.
