Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the association of personality characteristics and cognitive adjustment strategies among parents of adolescents with non suicidal self injury(NSSI) with adolescent NSSI.
Methods:Adolescents with NSSI who visited the hospital from January 2020 to January 2021 were recruited as the case group( n =60), and healthy adolescents recruited in the school, community and hospital were selected as the control group( n =60). The participants parents completed the Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory and the Chinese version of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ-C), Logistic regression was used to explore the associations.
Results:Parents of the control group had higher scores of openness (40.90±6.19) and conscientiousness (48.18±6.12) than parents of the case group (36.88±5.02)(44.12±6.58) ( t =3.90，3.50， P <0.05). In terms of negative events, scores of acceptance, positive reappraisal, refocusing on planning, positive refocusing and putting into perspective were higher among parents of the control group than among parents of the case group ( t =3.43，3.58，2.36，5.44，3.53， P <0.05). Among parents of the case group, neuroticism was positively correlated with putting into perspective ( r =0.31) and catastrophizing ( r =0.37). Openness was positively correlated with positive refocusing ( r =0.30) and positive reappraisal ( r =0.27). Acceptance was negatively correlated with extroversion ( r = -0.29 ), openness ( r =-0.40), conscientiousness ( r =-0.26),while other blame was negatively correlated with extroversion ( r = -0.35 ), agreeableness ( r =-0.36). Extraversion was negatively associated with positive refocusing ( r =-0.32)( P <0.05). According to binary regression analysis, the income of parents in the case group ( OR =0.49), education ( OR =0.60), acceptance ( OR =0.59), positive reappraisal ( OR =0.45), putting into perspective ( OR =0.53), neuroticisms ( OR =0.81), openness ( OR =0.76) and conscientiousness ( OR =0.74) were risk factors, whereas refocusing on planning ( OR =2.09) and self blame ( OR =1.55) were protective factors of NSSI in the case group( P <0.05).
Conclusion:When confronted with adverse events, the personality characteristics of parents of children with NSSI, and the emotional regulation strategies adopted by these parents, have influence on the prevalence of NSSI in this population.
