Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) usually starts during adolescence and is associated with an array of psychological and psychiatric symptoms and future suicide attempts. The aim of this study is to determine prospective predictors, mediators and moderators of NSSI in adolescent community samples in order to target prevention and treatment strategies. Two team members searched online databases independently. Thirty-nine studies were included in the review. Several variables were seen to prospectively predict NSSI: female gender, family-related variables, peer victimisation, depression, previous NSSI and self-concept. Few studies analysed mediators and moderators. Low self-concept was highlighted as a relevant moderator in the relationship between intra/interpersonal variables and NSSI. Implications of these findings are discussed. The considerable heterogeneity between studies posed a limitation to determine robust predictors of NSSI. Further prospective studies using standardised measures of predictors and outcomes are needed to ascertain the most at risk individuals and develop prevention strategies.

Duazary. 2018 enero; 15 (1) RESUMENEn este artículo se analiza la experiencia y necesidades psicológicas presentes en el discurso de las participantes durante una intervención psicoterapéutica grupal dirigida a mujeres con cáncer de mama. Se transcriben las sesiones del grupo y se realiza un análisis del discurso, recogiendo los temas más prevalentes. Las principales dificultades psicológicas recogidas son el cambio en su imagen corporal y su sexualidad, la nueva vivencia de las relaciones interpersonales, las repercusiones del discurso social sobre la importancia de las emociones positivas, el miedo a la recidiva, las relaciones con el personal sanitario y los cambios tras la enfermedad. Se recogen aspectos que las pacientes consideran factores de ayuda en el grupo (sentirse comprendidas, ver a las compañeras como modelos de afrontamiento o cambiar su relación con la enfermedad). Se apuntan implicaciones clínicas para una mejora en la atención integral a las pacientes con cáncer de mama.Palabras clave: Psicoterapia de grupo; Neoplasias de la mama; Salud mental; Atención plena; Investigación cualitativa.

Background: Sexual assault of adolescents is associated with negative mental health outcomes, including self-harm. Little is known about correlates and predictors of self-harm after sexual assault. We hypothesized that pre-assault vulnerabilities and post-assault psychological distress would be associated with self-harm after experiencing a recent sexual assault. Methods: The sample was recruited from adolescents aged 13 to 17 years accessing sexual assault centers and it included 98 females. Longitudinal data were collected at T0 (3.9 weeks on average post-assault) and T1 (21.8 weeks on average post-assault). Bivariate analysis and hierarchical binary logistic regressions were performed. Results: The rate of self-harm was 38.1% before the assault and 37.8% after the assault ( T1). History of family dysfunction ( OR 3.60 (1.30, 10.01)), depressive symptoms at T0 ( OR 5.83 (2.35, 14.43)) or T1 ( OR 2.79 (1.20, 6.50), and posttraumatic stress symptoms at T1 ( OR 3.21 (1.36, 7.58)) predicted self-harm at T1. These effects were attenuated when adjusting for confounders, except for depressive symptoms at T0 ( OR 4.21 (1.57, 11.28)). Discussion: Clinical implications for the prevention of onset or continuation of self-harm following adolescent sexual assault are discussed. Future studies should replicate these findings in a larger sample and consider different trajectories of self-harm.
