Suicide was the third leading cause of death in adolescents in the world in 2016 with a mortality rate of about 136,000 cases. Reasons teenagers commit suicide include family financial problems, psychological distress, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, and depression. In addition, the difficulty of professional help and social support from the surrounding environment also opens up opportunities for adolescents to commit suicide. Suicidal behavior is often associated with nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI). NSSI is an act of self-injury with no intention to commit suicide, but according to the Interpersonal Theory for Suicide by Joiner (2005), NSSI’s actions are considered to be one of the factors increasing the ability to commit suicide attempts (acquired capability). This study is aimed at exploring the relationship between NSSI and acquired capability for suicide by meta-analysis study. Eight studies from 119 articles involving the term NSSI and acquired capability were studied using the random-effects model. A total of 3398 samples were included in the study. The results showed that the effect size between NSSI and acquired capability was (r = .208), which means that NSSI is positively correlated with acquired capability and has a weak relationship. The results of this study also show that this study has a high heterogeneity value (I2 = 91,48) and there is no publication bias. Bunuh diri adalah penyebab kematian nomor tiga pada remaja di dunia pada tahun 2016 dengan angka kematian sekitar 136.000 kasus. Alasan remaja melakukan bunuh diri antara lain adalah masalah-masalah keuangan keluarga, distres psikologis, rendahnya harga diri, kurang percaya diri, dan depresi. Selain itu, sulitnya pertolongan tenaga profesional dan dukungan sosial dari lingkungan sekitarnya juga membuka peluang para remaja untuk melakukan percobaan bunuh diri. Perilaku bunuh diri sering dihubungkan dengan Nonsuicidal Self-Injury (NSSI). NSSI merupakan tindakan perusakan diri dengan tanpa adanya keinginan untuk bunuh diri, namun menurut teori Interpersonal Theory for Suicide oleh Joiner (2005), tindakan NSSI dianggap menjadi salah satu faktor meningkatnya kemampuan seseorang untuk melakukan percobaan bunuh diri (acquired capability). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi hubungan antara NSSI dan acquired capability dengan studi meta-analisis. Delapan artikel korelasional dari 119 artikel yang melibatkan istilah NSSI dan acquired capability dipelajari menggunakan random-effect models. Sebanyak 3398 sampel dilibatkan dalam penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan nilai effect size antara NSSI dan acquired capability adalah sebesar (r = .208), yang berarti NSSI berkorelasi positif dengan acquired capability dan memiliki hubungan yang lemah. Hasil penelitian ini juga menunjukkan bahwa studi ini memiliki nilai heterogenitas yang tinggi(I2 = 91,48) dan tidak terdapat bias publikasi.

Background: Historically, the field of self-injury has distinguished between the behaviors exhibited among individuals with a developmental disability (self-injurious behaviors; SIB) and those present within a normative population (nonsuicidal self-injury; NSSI),which typically result as a response to perceived stress. More recently, however, conclusions about NSSI have been drawn from lines of animal research aimed at examining the neurobiological mechanisms of SIB. Despite some functional similarity between SIB and NSSI, no empirical investigation has provided precedent for the application of SIB-targeted animal research as justification for pharmacological interventions in populations demonstrating NSSI. Aims: The present study examined this question directly, by simulating an animal model of SIB in rodents injected with pemoline and systematically manipulating stress conditions in order to monitor rates of self-injury. Methods: Sham controls and experimental animals injected with pemoline (200 mg/kg) were assigned to either a low stress (discriminated positive reinforcement) or high stress (discriminated avoidance) group and compared on the dependent measures of self-inflicted injury prevalence and severity. Results: The manipulation of stress conditions did not impact the rate of self-injury demonstrated by the rats. The results do not support a model of stress-induced SIB in rodents. Conclusions: Current findings provide evidence for caution in the development of pharmacotherapies of NSSI in human populations based on CNS stimulant models. Theoretical implications are discussed with respect to antecedent factors such as preinjury arousal level and environmental stress.

Abstract. Background: Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) has been found to be associated with poor emotion regulation. Aims: The goal of this study was to examine the association of multidimensional cognitive emotion regulation strategies with NSSI among adolescents and compare the different patterns of NSSI. Method: A sample of 594 high-school students (54.4% boys; mean age = 14.96 years), from five regional schools across Israel, were assessed for five facets of cognitive emotion regulation strategies (acceptance, refocus on planning, positive refocusing, putting into perspective, and positive reappraisal) and NSSI behaviors using validated scales. Participants were allocated into three groups: repetitive NSSI (more than six occasions of NSSI; 7.1%), occasional NSSI (at least one incident but less than six; 8.3%), and no NSSI (84.6%). Results: Analysis of covariance, controlling for gender and depression symptoms, revealed that students with NSSI reported higher levels of acceptance, but lower levels of refocus on planning and putting into perspective. Limitations: The study used a cross-sectional design, which was a limitation. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that particular cognitive emotion regulation strategies differ substantially in their relationship with NSSI. Adolescents who focus on planning and putting stressful situations into perspective may have increased resilience, whereas adolescents who are accepting of negative events that have happened may be more prone to maladaptive coping behaviors.
