Filter by:As a result of a randomized controlled trial (NCT02985047) BA is continuously offered to persons with self-harm at risk for suicide in Skåne, Sweden. This qualitative inductive study aims to provide experiences among family members, carers and significant others of Brief Admission by self-referral for self-harming and suicidal persons based on individual semi-structured interviews. Participants will be identified through suggestion from persons with an active BA contract. Interviews, estimated to last 30-60 minutes, will be analyzed by a phenomenological hermeneutic method or by content analysis depending on richness and depth in the interviews. Findings from this study will be published.
This cohort study is a large population-based study in the UK to determine the risks of comorbid mental health conditions (including depression, anxiety and other potential psychological complications of vitiligo) in adults with vitiligo compared to controls and to evaluate whether the relative risks may vary by different ethnicity.
Self-harm is when somebody hurts their body as a way of coping with difficult feelings. Self-harm is becoming increasingly common in young people, particularly in adolescent females. The rise in self-harm has been linked to increasing use of social media and internet technology among young people. However, the evidence is limited to associations with poorer mental health outcomes rather than identifying particular aspects of using these technologies that can negatively impact on mental health. This study aims to investigate how the use of social media and a smartphone may increase the risk of self-harm in young people by exploring changes in usage in the period leading up to an episode of self-harm. The information from this study will allow us to understand whether there are certain behaviours that are more likely to occur before an episode of self-harm. This will inform new strategies to identify and provide support to vulnerable young people. For example, linking young people with crisis support or empowering young people to make changes, manage their own risks and build resilience. This study will recruit young people aged 13-25 years old who have accessed mental health services provided by an NHS Trust in South-East London. Young people will be invited to provide information on their mental health and social media and smartphone use over a period of six months.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the long-term efficacy of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in treatment of adolescents with deliberate self harm compared to enhanced usual care (EUC). This study follows-up 77 patients in the ages of 12-18 yrs who have been included in an RCT of DBT-A vs EUC. The main inclusion criterion for this study was repetitive self-harm behaviour. The patients were randomly allocated to receive 16 weeks of outpatient DBT or EUC in child and adolescent psychiatric clinics in Oslo. Participants have been assessed so far on six different time-points: baseline (before starting treatment), 9 weeks, 15 weeks, 19 weeks, 71 weeks and 3 years after start of the treatment. In the current project patients will be assessed a 7th time 10 years after treatment completion. It is hypothesized that compared with participants who had received EUC in the original trial during their adolescence participants who had received DBT-A will: A) report a significantly lower frequency of episodes of self-harm, both last year and over the extended 10-year follow-up interval. B) be significantly less impaired with respect to social, family and occupational functioning and report a higher quality of life. C) have retained significantly fewer diagnostic criteria of BPD and have less severe borderline features according to dimensional measures and have significantly fewer signs of emotion dysregulation.
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate two approaches to achieving the aspirational goal of Zero Suicide within a health system: 1) Zero Suicide Best Practices initiated through a zero suicide quality improvement initiative within a health system; and 2) Zero Suicide Best Practices plus an innovative stepped care for suicide prevention intervention for adolescents and young adults that matches treatment intensity with risk levels for suicide/self-harm. ..
