Overview

Randomized trial uncovers the role of depressive symptoms in non-suicidal self-injury risk in adolescents, suggesting targeted interventions are necessary.

Key Points

  • This study investigates how childhood trauma impacts depressive symptoms and non-suicidal self-injury among hearing and hard-of-hearing adolescents.
  • Analyzed data from 2,008 Chinese students using self-report questionnaires.
  • Conducted mediation analysis to assess the indirect effects of depressive symptoms.
  • Employed network analysis and directed acyclic graphs to identify symptom relationships.
  • Depressive symptoms mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) more significantly in hard-of-hearing adolescents.
  • Central symptoms in the trauma-depressive-NSSI network differed between hearing (emotional abuse/neglect) and hard-of-hearing adolescents (emotional neglect).
  • Directed acyclic graphs indicated a clear pathway from trauma to depression to NSSI, highlighting key symptoms in this progression.
