青少年中的非自杀性自我伤害(NSSI)给学校、青少年及其家庭带来了严重的问题。然而，目前还缺乏解决NSSI的适当指导方针，包括何时向父母披露这种行为。本研究旨在了解学校心理卫生工作人员和中学生家长如何看待NSSI，以确定如何改善家长与学校之间关于NSSI的沟通以及对NSSI的反应。19名学校心理卫生工作人员参加了访谈，10名有NSSI病史的青少年家长完成了开放式问卷项目。工作人员指出，全部门的NSSI政策和对教师和校长的教育将帮助他们感受到更多的支持，并改善学校之间和学校内部解决NSSI问题的一致性。相比之下，父母希望得到更多针对他们的支持，而不仅仅是针对他们的青少年。对学校提供的政策和家长支持的影响进行了讨论。
Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) among adolescents poses a significant problem for schools, adolescents, and their families. However, appropriate guidelines for addressing NSSI, including when to disclose the behavior to parents, are currently lacking. The present study aimed to understand how school mental health staff and parents of secondary school students view NSSI to determine how parent-school communication about NSSI, and responses to NSSI, can be improved. Nineteen school mental health staff participated in interviews and 10 parents of adolescents with a history of NSSI completed open-ended questionnaire items. Staff identified that sector-wide NSSI policy and education for teachers and principals would help them feel more supported and improve consistency in addressing NSSI between and within schools. In contrast, parents wanted more support directed at them rather than solely their adolescent. Implications for policy and parental support provided by the school are discussed.
