“…There can be various reasons why adolescents engage in fighting, such as self-defense, to gain or maintain respect, or anger, which can be addressed using various prevention strategies, including interventions that teach anger management and conflict resolution, that promote adolescent self-efficacy in using nonviolent strategies, and that address parental attitudes about fighting [ 34 ]. The effectiveness of such strategies and the search for other risk factors of this risk behavior should guide the future research in this largely neglected area of global health research [ 28 , 30 , 35 , 36 ].…”

There is a worrisome increase in the reporting of medically attended injuries in Slovak adolescents. The aim of this study is to examine the relationships between socio-economic factors, physical fighting, and physical activity with frequency of medically attended injuries among this population group. Data from 8902 adolescents participating in the Health Behavior in School-Aged Children study were used (mean age 13.37; 50.9% boys). The effects of family affluence, registered unemployment rate, average nominal monthly earnings of employees, physical fighting, and physical activity on frequency of medically attended injury were explored using linear regression analysis. Pearson’s correlation was used to describe the associations between all selected variables. The selected model of linear regression explained 15.8% of the variance in the frequency of medically attended injuries. All variables except the registered unemployment rate showed linear positive relationships with medically attended injuries. The correlation analysis confirmed linear positive associations between medically attended injuries and physical fighting, family affluence, physical activity, and average nominal monthly earnings of employees. Further research on these variables is needed in the Slovak context. This may include analyses of the nature of the relationships between socio-economic factors and medically attended injuries, as well as systematic evaluation of applied physical fighting and physical-activity-related injury interventions to support evidence-based policy making.

“…For these studies, children or adolescents who had experienced any form of bullying behaviour into a group were combined and compared them with children or adolescents who did not engage in bullying. All studies provide data on the NSSI risk of victims, ten studies 12 – 14 , 32 , 34 , 39 , 40 , 42 , 47 , 48 provide data on bullies, and six studies provide data on bully-victims 12 , 32 , 34 , 39 , 47 , 48 . Two researchers coded the included studies, including study location, sample size, age, sampling method, data collection method, and effect sizes.…”

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) has attracted increasing attention due to its high detection rate, high risk and high repeatability. There is a need for the early identification of preventable occurrence factors, which is necessary to facilitate screening and intervention, especially to facilitate the early detection of high-risk individuals. This research aims to investigate the relationship between bullying behaviour and non-suicidal self-injury among children and adolescents by means of meta-analysis. The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, SCOPUS, PsycINFO, CKNI and WAN FANG databases were searched from inception to 14 December 2021 for studies that explored the relationship between bullying behaviour and NSSI among children and adolescents. A total of 29 articles met the inclusion criteria of the meta-analysis, and 54 independent effect sizes were obtained, including 53,501 subjects. Victims [OR 2.46 (95% CI 2.14–2.83); p < 0.001], bullies [OR 2.12 (95% CI 1.37–3.27); p < 0.001], and bully-victims [OR: 2.98 (95% CI 1.85–4.82); p < 0.001] were more likely to have NSSI than uninvolved children or adolescents. In addition, analyses showed the absence of publication bias. In the victim group, the older the age was, the lower the risk of NSSI (z = − 3.74, p = 0.00). Gender does not play a moderating effect on the association between bullying behaviour and non-suicidal self-injury. The relationship between involvement in bullying and NSSI was demonstrated. By taking measures to prevent bullying, the incidence of NSSI in children and adolescents can be potentially reduced.

“…In Portugal, NSSI prevalence in adolescence ranges from 20.3% to 34.5% (Carvalho et al, 2017;Gaspar et al, 2019;Gonçalves et al, 2012;Nobre-Lima et al, 2018), SI prevalence oscillates between 10.7% and 22% (Azevedo & Matos, 2014;Carvalho et al, 2017;Pereira & Cardoso, 2015), and about 7% of adolescents report having attempted suicide (Oliveira et al, 2001;Sampaio et al, 2000). These rates are identical to those found in international studies that focused on adolescents: 7.5-46.5% NSSI (Cipriano et al, 2017), 8.1-16.9% SI (Biswas et al, 2020;Georgiades et al, 2019;Sampasa-Kanyinga et al, 2017;Uddin et al, 2019), and 3-17% SAs (Georgiades et al, 2019;Sampasa-Kanyinga et al 2017;Uddin et al, 2019).…”

Introduction: Non-suicidal self-injury, suicidal thoughts and behaviors present high prevalence rates in adolescence. Aims: This study aimed to describe adolescents’ perceptions about these phenomena, and to analyze and compare the differences of these perceptions among adolescents with and without a history of non-suicidal selfinjury, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts. Methods: The convenience sample consisted of 452 adolescents in ages between 12 and 18 (M(SD) = 15.59(1.50), 48% male and 52% female. For data collection, the Free Association Test was used in a survey, and data was analyzed through content analysis. Results: Results showed that 10.8% of the participants presented a history of non-suicidal self-injury, 19.9% suicidal ideation, and 2.7% suicide attempts. Perceptions were grouped into eight dimensions: Consumption of Psychoactive Substances; Death/Suicide; Interpersonal Factors; Intrapersonal Factors; Moral Judgments; Negative Emotions; Psychological Functions; and Self-Injurious Methods. Further analysis revealed that adolescents with and without a history of non-suicidal self-injury, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts presented differences in their perceptions of these phenomena. Conclusions: These findings contribute to the understanding regarding the perceptions of adolescents about these phenomena and might have implications regarding their prevention and intervention.
