Introduction: Non-suicidal self-injury, suicidal thoughts and behaviors present
high prevalence rates in adolescence.
Aims: This study aimed to describe adolescents’ perceptions about these
phenomena, and to analyze and compare the differences of these perceptions
among adolescents with and without a history of non-suicidal selfinjury,

... attended school years between the 7 th and 12 th grades, with the majority (74.1%) attending secondary school (10 th to 12 th grades). As shown in Table 1, the lifetime prevalence of NSSI was 10.8% (n = 49), the prevalence of SI was 19.9% (n = 90) and the prevalence of SAs was 2.7% (n = 12). However, these phenomena coexist in some participants: 18 adolescents reported a history of NSSI and SI; one adolescent NSSI and SAs; three participants reported a history of SI and SAs; and seven adolescents revealed a history of NSSI, SI and SAs. ...Context 2

... Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), which refers to deliberate self-inflicted harm without suicidal intent [1][2][3], has become a serious public health concern among adolescents. Although NSSI is a prevalent phenomenon, it remains hidden in many cases [4], and stigmatisation of it is common among adolescents [5]. The lifetime prevalence of NSSI among adolescents ranges from 17.1% to 46.5% in community samples [6][7][8][9][10][11] and from 51.3% to 82.4% in clinical adolescent populations [12][13][14]. ...
Previous evidence has drawn attention to the fact that maladaptive perfectionism is a risk factor for engagement in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI). Until now, few studies have examined this topic, especially among community adolescents. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between perfectionism dimensions and NSSI functions to examine the potential mediating effect of mental disorders. Altogether, 146 Hungarian community adolescents (ages 13–18 years) were involved. All participants completed the Hungarian adaptation of the Inventory of Statements about Self-Injury (ISAS), the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS), and the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview Kid. To analyse the interrelationships among NSSI, perfectionism, and mental disorders, we conducted regression and network analysis. Of the 146 adolescents, 90 (61.64%, girls: 71.11%) engaged in NSSI. The Concern over Mistakes and Doubts about Action scales of the FMPS significantly and positively predicted both NSSI intrapersonal and interpersonal motivation, with comparable effect sizes, and this association was fully mediated by anxiety disorders. There was a significant direct negative relationship between the FMPS Organisation dimension and both main NSSI functions. This study draws attention to an increasing trend and the extremely high NSSI prevalence rate among community adolescents. Adolescents with perfectionistic concerns are at heightened risk for anxiety disorders, which can increase their vulnerability to NSSI engagement.
