Abstract | Objective: This paper reports on a systematic review of the
literature on self-injurious behaviours (SIB) among Asian
populations. Studies were selected if they (1) measured
any type of SIB irrespective of suicide intent, (2) reported
definitions and measurement for SIB, and (3) reported either
prevalence and / or odds ratios.
Methods: A small number of heterogeneous and atheoretical
studies were identified in this study. The methodology and
reporting quality of the reviewed studies was systematically
examined.
Results: The majority of the studies focused on younger
populations. Mean prevalence among school-age adolescents
was about 13%. Variables positively correlated with SIB
included being female, young age, unemployed, parental
invalidation or disapproval, and a history of physical / sexual
abuse, and psychiatric disorders (e.g. depression, eating
disorders, substance dependence, or personality disorders).
Negatively correlated variables included positive peer relationships and a positive life attitude. No intervention
studies or prevention programmes could be identified in the
reviewed studies.
Conclusion: Evidence provided in this paper suggests that
an understanding of SIB in Asian population is limited and
recommendations for future research and prevention are
provided for greater understanding of this phenomenon. |
