Background and Purpose: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) behaviors, or self-harm without the intention of suicide, is a significant and powerful predictor of suicide attempt. Therefore, identifying factors related to self-injurious behaviors holds great importance. The aim of the present study was to predict self-injurious behaviors (SIB) based on trauma childhood experiences (TCE).
Method: The population of this research comprised high school students in the city of Bojnourd during the academic year 2021-22. From this population, 300 individuals were selected with convenience sampling method. Out of the participants, 288 completed the Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Scale (KhaniPour et al., 2014) and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (Bernstein et al., 2003). The data were analyzed using regression analysis in the SPSS software.
Findings: The results indicated that each of the five subscales of TCE, including emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional neglect, and physical neglect, significantly predicted SIB.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that components of TCE serve as important predictors for SIB.
