Description
Summary:<p>This study aims to develop a comprehensive and evidence-based crisis prevention</p><p>model for addressing non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviour among adolescents in</p><p>GuangXi, China. The Design and Development Research (DDR) was used which</p><p>includes three phases. The phase one is to understand the characteristics of</p><p>adolescents' NSSI Behaviour and the need to prevent NSSI Behaviour; questionnaires</p><p>and semi-structured interviews were used to investigate 2344 adolescents and 84</p><p>stakeholders in Guangxi. In phase two, literature analysis, semi-structured interviews</p><p>and nominal group techniques were used to determine the main components of the</p><p>NSSI crisis prevention model. Based on the opinions of 27 experts, the</p><p>DEMATEL-TAISM method was used to construct the model. In phase three, the</p><p>evaluation of 15 experts was collected. The focus group method was used to determine</p><p>the evaluation index system of the model. The incidence rate of NSSI among</p><p>adolescents in Guangxi was 17.9%, indicating an urgent need to establish a crisis</p><p>prevention model for NSSI. This model consists of six dimensions and a total of 21</p><p>components. The main prevention strategies are divided into three levels: assessing the</p><p>risk level of adolescents' NSSI; enhancing their ability to regulate emotions and</p><p>improve their emotional state; increasing social support, creating a positive</p><p>atmosphere, and providing leisure and entertainment space. Experts have reached a</p><p>consensus on the integrity, applicability, effectiveness, and professionalism of the</p><p>model. This study had aroused the attention to NSSI problems among adolescents,</p><p>parents, teachers, schools, and experts, and to enrich the explanatory model of NSSI</p><p>Behaviour crisis prevention. The overall design of the model is scientifically and</p><p>reasonably constructed, which is beneficial for preventing adolescents' NSSI Behaviour</p><p>in the future. However, due to the lack of detailed practical experience, some preventive</p><p>elements in the model require further practical testing, particularly in terms of</p><p>demonstrating the preventive effect.</p>
