“…Relative to non-Sami, the Sami NSSI figures were only slightly and insignificantly higher, following regional adolescent research (Eckhoff et al, 2019;Kvernmo & Rosenvinge, 2009) but contrasting with Native Americans (Kuentzel et al, 2012;Monto et al, 2018;Vaughn et al, 2015) and findings of more violence exposure, anxiety and depression symptoms (Eriksen et al, 2018), and suicides (Silviken et al, 2006) among the Sami. The higher figures among females and young adults in this study are also in agreement with a recent review (Cipriano et al, 2017).…”

“…Among the US ethnic groups, Native Americans have the highest NSSI frequencies across ages (Kuentzel et al, 2012;Monto et al, 2018;Vaughn et al, 2015), possibly explained by lower socioeconomic status and the prior suppression and genocide of indigenous peoples (Gholamrezaei et al, 2017). In the 2003-05 Norwegian Arctic Adolescent Health Study among 10 th graders in North Norway (n=4,881), the NSSI lifetime prevalence (30%) in the Sami population was not significantly different from that in non-Sami peers (Eckhoff et al, 2019). The study confirmed findings from 1990 on self-harm irrespective of suicidal intent among 487 Sami and non-Sami 13-16year-old adolescents in Finnmark-the Sami core area in Arctic Norway (Kvernmo & Rosenvinge, 2009).…”

Research has found psychological dimensions of religiosity/spirituality (R/S) beneficial against non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), whereas the effect of R/S social aspects is less studied. Using data from the SAMINOR 2 Questionnaire Survey (2012, n=10,717 ages 18-69; response rate: 27%; non-Sami: 66%; females: 55%), we examined the association of R/S-religious attendance, congregational affiliation, Laestadian family background, religious importance/view of life-with NSSI in the adult Sami and non-Sami population of Arctic Norway. We also applied multivariable-adjusted regression models and mediation analyses to explore how religious participation transmits its effect on NSSI through violence exposure and symptoms of anxiety and depression.Across ethnicities, 3.3 percent (n=355) reported lifetime NSSI-ranging from 1.2 percent among Laestadians to 7.7 percent in unaffiliated. Regular religious attendance had a significant negative total effect on NSSI (OR=0.59), seemingly transmitting 95 percent of the effect via fewer anxiety and depression symptoms-probably related to religious social support.

“…In young adults, mental health conditions can present as lack of confidence, body image issues, social isolation, poor performance in academia, internet addiction and poor quality of life [4]. Self-harm and suicidal behaviour in adolescence are markers of mental health disorders and represent unfavourable social outcomes in young adulthood, mostly accounted for by adolescent psychosocial problems [5]. In addition, there is a significant shortage of psychiatrists especially in developing countries and the concept of nurses specialised in mental health is not well developed.…”

Developing countries are struggling to provide adequate mental health care to its citizens. One of the main reasons is the serious shortage of psychiatrists and trained Mental Health Nurses (MHNs). In many countries the quality of mental health nursing is less than satisfactory. Some Western countries have devised nurse led care models under the supervision of psychiatrists, which have shown improvement in patient waiting times and care delivery as compared to low-income countries. Nurses with prescribing privileges have received mixed opinions but it has been shown to have benefits to a certain level. In this article a potential solution is suggested on the foundation of a recent literature review for developing countries to empower MHNs under the supervision of psychiatrists, so that patients can have improved access to services and receive enhanced and more timely care delivery.

“…See Nock et al (2013) and Silverman & Berman, 2014). Therefore, suicidal ideation, considered a cognitive stage (or a thought pattern) of suicide, brings about very serious consequences to adolescents who are in a period of dramatic psychological and behavioral changes (Reinherz et al, 2006; Eckhoff et al, 2020). Hence, it is necessary to focus on the risk factors of suicidal ideation and provide intervention and prevention to support the mental health development in adolescents.…”

This study used a cross-lagged panel analysis to explore the effect of impulsivity and academic achievement on the development of suicidal ideation in adolescents using three-time assessments with an interval of 6 months. A total of 211 adolescents (104 boys, 107 girls with a mean age of 13.62 ± 0.68 years in the third assessment) completed the Barratt Impulsivity Scale, the Monthly Exam, and the Suicidal Ideation/Suicidal Attempt Questionnaire to evaluate the level of impulsivity, academic achievement, and suicidal ideation, respectively. Our results showed that impulsivity was a primary risk factor of suicidal ideation in adolescents during their early stage in junior high school, especially for girls, while academic achievement had an increasing effect on suicidal ideation as adolescents progressed to the higher grades in junior high school, suggesting that taking appropriate intervention measures at specific stages might be critical to prevent suicidal ideation in adolescents.
