Abstract

Self harm behavior is a deliberate act of injuring oneself without suicidal intent, often emerging as a response to emotional distress. Medical clerkship students are vulnerable to such behavior due to academic pressure, clinical responsibilities, and psychological stress, which can affect both mental health and academic performance. This research aims to describe the level of self harm tendency, its psychological and academic impacts, and to examine this behavior from an Islamic perspective among medical clerkship students at YARSI University. This research employed a descriptive quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach involving 96 medical clerkship students. Data were collected using the 22-item Self-Harm Inventory (SHI) questionnaire and analyzed descriptively using IBM SPSS Statistics version 26. The mean SHI score was 28.99, with most respondents categorized as having a low self-harm tendency (85.4%), followed by moderate (13.5%) and high (1%) tendencies. The majority also exhibited low levels of psychological and academic impact, although a small proportion experienced emotional instability and decreased learning motivation. Overall, most students demonstrated a low tendency toward self-harm, yet those with moderate to high scores require particular attention. In Islam, self harm is prohibited as it contradicts the principle of ḥifẓ al-nafs (protection of life). It is recommended that universities provide accessible counseling services, mental health support, and spiritual guidance programs as preventive and promotive measures to help students manage academic and emotional stress more adaptively.

Abstract

Self-harm is a self-injurious behavior that commonly occurs among young adults, including medical students who are highly susceptible to academic and psychological stress. This study aims to describe the tendency of self-harm among medical students at YARSI University and review it from an Islamic perspective. A quantitative descriptive design was applied using the Self-Harm Inventory (SHI) as the research instrument. The study involved 141 participants selected through total sampling, and the data were analyzed descriptively. The findings revealed that all respondents (100%) exhibited a tendency toward self-harm, with an average score of 30.11 (range 22–71). Most respondents were categorized as low (49.6%), followed by moderate (34.8%) and high (15.6%). The majority experienced low levels of psychological and academic impact. Predominantly, respondents were female, 20 years old, and from the 2022 cohort. From an Islamic perspective, self-harm is strictly prohibited as it represents self-destruction, aligning with the prohibition stated in Surah An-Nisa :29. These findings underscore the need for comprehensive interventions that combine psychological support, academic guidance, and spiritual reinforcement to prevent self-harm among medical students.
