Abstract

Self-harm is a rising concern among young adult women, particularly as it is often linked to an increased risk of suicide. This study aims to examine the patterns, motivations, and psychological impacts of self-harm behaviors within this demographic, focusing on the underlying emotional triggers and contextual factors. Using a qualitative approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with participants aged 18 to 25 years who had experienced self-harming behaviors. The method allowed for a detailed exploration of their personal experiences, revealing that self-harm frequently serves as a coping mechanism to manage intense emotional pain and a perceived lack of control over negative emotions. Participants often reported that self-harm provided temporary relief, though it sometimes led to feelings of regret and shame. Additionally, a significant portion of the participants expressed a tenuous connection between self-harm and suicidal ideation, highlighting a complex relationship between self-harm and mental health risks without a direct intent to commit suicide. This study underscores the need for targeted, empathetic interventions that address the emotional and psychological needs of young adult women struggling with self-harm, providing insights for mental health practitioners to develop tailored support strategies aimed at reducing self-harm and related mental health challenges in this population.

Abstract

Health students often face academic pressure and interpersonal conflicts that can affect their emotional regulation, thereby increasing the risk of self-harm behavior. This study aimed to explore the emotional experiences of health students who have engaged in self-harm through a phenomenological approach. A total of 8 participants (aged 18-25 years) who had engaged in self-harm and came from various health study programs participated in in-depth interviews lasting 45-70 minutes. The results of the study reveal three main themes: i) psychosocial stress as a trigger for negative emotions, ii) the role of social support in the recovery process, and iii) coping mechanisms and the need for professional intervention. These findings reveal emotional dynamics that have not been widely explored in the context of health students in Indonesia, particularly how self-harm is perceived as a strategy to control excessive emotional intensity. This study makes a new contribution by highlighting the need for interventions based on emotional regulation and increased social support that are appropriate to the subjective experiences of health students. Interventions based on empathy and psychological approaches that are more sensitive to the cultural context of the campus are the main recommendations.
