Självskadebeteendet har ökat i Sverige och därför är det viktigt att öka kunskapen om detta. Självskadebeteende är ett sätt att hantera existerande problem för stunden eller på sikt. Att skära eller bränna sig är de vanligaste tillvägagångssätten när en person skadar sig själv. Det är angeläget att sjuksköterskor uppmärksammar personer med självskadebeteende och förstår det viktiga i att de blir bekräftade. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser av mötet med patienter som skadar sig själva. Metod: Vald metod var en litteraturstudie där tio kvalitativa artiklar granskades, analyserades och sammanställdes. Resultat: De sex teman som framkom representerar sjuksköterskors upplevelser av mötet med patienter som skadar sig själva; Frustration i vårdarbetet, Rädsla i patientmötet, Otillräcklig som sjuksköterska, Brist på kunskap, Svårigheter i vårdandet och Brist på stöd i arbetet med patienter som skadar sig själva. Patienter med självskadebeteende är en svår patientgrupp att vårda, de är ofta ångestfyllda och emellanåt vill de inte ta emot den vård som erbjuds. Mötet med dessa patienter upplevdes på olika sätt av sjuksköterskan och frustration var en av de mest förekommande upplevelserna. Slutsats: Sjuksköterskors upplevelser av mötet med patienter som skadar sig själva grundar sig oftast i brist på träning och kunskap. / In Sweden the self-harming behaviour has increased and that is why it is important that we increase the knowledge about it as well. Self-harming behaviour is a way to deal with existing problems at the moment or problems that are coming. When a person is harming oneself it is often by cuts or burns themselves. It is important that nurses notice people who self-harm and understand why it is important to be acknowledged. Aim: The aim of this study is to describe the nurse’s experiences of the meeting with patients that do harm themselves. Method: A literature review was chosen to this study, where ten qualitative articles have been examined, analysed and put together. Result: The six topics that appeared is representing the trained nurse’s experiences from the meeting with patients that are harming themselves; Frustration in the nursing, Fear when meeting the patient, Insufficient as a nurse, Lack of knowledge, Difficulty to nurse and Lack of support when working with patients self-harming. Patients with a self-harming behaviour is a difficult group to nurse and give treatment. They are often filled with anguish, and sometimes they don’t wish to receive the treatment that they are offered. The meeting with these patients is experienced in many different ways by the nurse and frustration is the most common feeling. Conclusion: The nurse’s experiences of the meeting with self-harming patients can be based of a lack of practice and knowledge.

Self-harming behaviours and suicidality are a serious problem in psychiatric patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD). Suicidal behaviours are sometimes seen as manipulative and attention-seeking in BPD patients, and are therefore not considered as dangerous as the same behaviours in MDD patients. The Suicidal Feelings and Self-Harm Questionnaire, which examines suicidal intent, was administered to all new outpatients at the Psychiatric Treatment Clinic in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton, Canada. Thirty-seven percent of the MDD patients, 78% of the BPD patients, and 77% of patients with comorbid MDD and BPD reported a history of self-harm. Suicidal intent was measured by asking the patients whether they expected to die as a result of their self-harm. There was no statistically significant difference between the diagnostic groups in this regard. This suggests that BPD patients are no less serious about their intent to die than those with MDD.

TITLE: Self- inflicted trauma in young people with in the context of behavioral disturbance AUTHOR: Bc. Katarína Kolaříková DEPARTMENT: Department of special education SUPERVISOR: Doc. PaeDr. Eva Šotolová, Ph.D. ABSTRACT: This thesis solves two serious topics of special pedagogic. Behavioural disorders and self-harming behaviour. Self-harming behaviour is deliberate, conscious and often repetitive violation of physical integrity without intent to die. The work is divided into 11 chapters. The first are focused on behavioural disorders, self-harming behaviours, and crisis intervention. Other chapters deal with the goals, research questions and chosen method of treatment. The aim was to map the occurrence, factors and methods of self-harming and describe alternative techniques of reducing this behaviour. Qualitative research is used in this work - analysing the anamneses of individuals with behavioural disorders and interviews with ethopedic workers. The inquiry of documentation shows that self-harming behaviour is caused by negative effects of family and social environment. The most common methods include self-cutting of girls, fists and head pounding against the wall of boys. For alternative methods of reducing this behaviour, the staff of orphanages with schools agreed that the preferred method is...
