Overview

Randomized trial reveals that teacher care mitigates the impact of childhood trauma on NSSI in adolescents, suggesting key intervention strategies.

Key Points

  • The study aims to examine the relationships between adverse childhood experiences, depressive symptoms, perceived teacher care, and non-suicidal self-injury among adolescents.
  • Participants included 2,221 junior high school students from three schools in China.
  • Data collected included Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Questionnaire, depression scale, and teacher care scale.
  • Statistical analyses explored associations between ACEs, depressive symptoms, teacher care, and NSSI.
  • Adverse childhood experiences and depressive symptoms were associated with increased rates of NSSI.
  • Perceived teacher care had a protective effect, correlating with lower rates of NSSI.
  • Higher levels of teacher care reduced the strength of the relationship between ACEs and NSSI, indicating a potential intervention point.
