AB  - Although NSSI has been drawing the attention of researchers intensely for the last 30 years, to date there is no published study about rates of NSSI behaviors in countries of south-eastern Europe. The study aimed to explore NSSI in the Republic of Serbia. Data were collected using multistage random sampling. The final sample consisted of 2792 participants (57.4% female) while the NSSI subsample consisted of 405 participants (54.3% males). Results showed the NSSI rate in Serbia is 4.3% based on a percentage of people who answered affirmatively to lifetime NSSI engagement. However, when the percentage of people who reported at least one positive answer through the NSSI behaviors checklist, the rate rises to 14.5%. The most frequent NSSI behavior is wound picking. NSSI rate drops to 8.8% when wound picking is excluded. Those engaged in NSSI were more likely to report suicide attempts and seek professional help than those who did not report NSSI. Gender differences in NSSI frequency are found only in cases of headbanging and burning oneself. This study showed the scope of NSSI-related problems is similar in Serbia compared to other countries. It also raised questions about the lack of preventive programs and treatment strategies for dealing with NSSI in Serbia.

AB  - Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is defined as behavior that is self-directed and deliberate,
resulting in injury or potential injury to oneself without suicidal intent, although it consistently
correlates with suicidality. Common forms of NSSI include cutting, burning, scratching,
banging, hitting, biting etc. Meta-analysis showed that overall childhood maltreatment is
associated with NSSI, especially in the case of childhood emotional neglect or emotional abuse.
Highly lethal self-harm was associated with childhood physical peer victimization, sexual
abuse, emotional abuse, and emotional neglect. The NSSI questionnaire designed for this study
was based on several questionnaires such as Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory (DSHI), Inventory
of Statements About Self-Injury (ISAS), Ottawa Self-Injury Inventory (OSI) and Self-Harm
Behaviour Questionnaire (SHBQ). The NSSI used in this survey contains 12 items with joint
binary (yes or no) and numeric (how many times) scales. On all items, respondents provided
answers with respect to two time periods: before and after the age of 18 (laws in Serbia restrict
rights of persons under the age of 18 and some of those are related to potentially risky behaviors
such as rights regarding alcohol purchase). Overall, approximately 4% of respondents reported
NSSI at least once in lifetime, out of which 3.6% reported NSSI at least once before the age of 18 and 1.8% at least once after the age of 18. Since this is a form of behaviour is typical for
younger adolescents, as expected, the NSSI is more prevalent before the age of 18 (2 = 17.225,
p < .01). The correlation between the frequency of NSSI before and after the age of 18 is
r = 0.73 (p < .01), while the correlation between suicide attempts and NSSI was Φ = 0.25
(p < .01). When it comes to the prediction of NSSI that occurred after the age of 18, ACE scores
were not significant predictors. However, regression analysis showed about 9% of the variance
of the NSSI before the age of 18 can be related to ACEs. Specifically, three types of ACEs
were significant predictors of NSSI: sexual abuse (β = 0.16, p < .01), incarceration of a family
member (β = 0.11, p = 0.051) and abuse of father by the partner (β = 0.15, p = 0.012). Available
data suggest that at least one part of the variance can be ascribed to the ACEs. Therefore,
emphasis should be put on fostering coping strategies in adolescents that would lead to
diminishing negative consequences of ACEs.
