Associations of deliberate self-harm with loneliness self-rated health and life satisfaction in adolescence: Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 Study

摘要

BackgroundDeliberate self-harm (DSH) is an act with a non-fatal outcome in which an individual initiates a behavior, such as self-cutting or burning, with the intention of inflicting harm on his or her self. Interpersonal difficulties have been shown to be a risk factor for DSH, but the association between subjective experience of loneliness and DSH have rarely been examined.
