Abstract：Objective To explore the effect of intensified cognitive behavioral intervention for adolescents with non-suicidal self-injury(NSSI).Methods A total of eligible 92 adolescents with NSSI who admitted to our hospital from February 2022 to January 2023 were recruited.They were randomized 1∶1 to control group(traditional nursing intervention)or study group(intensified cognitive behavioral intervention).The aim was to compare the emotional and behavioral states of patients after the intervention.Results Before the intervention,the difference was not statistically significant in the positive emotion and negative emotion scores of Positive and Negative Affect Schedule(PANAS)scale between groups(P>0.05).After the intervention,significantly higher positive emotion score of PANAS scale,and lower negative emotion score of PANAS scale were found in study group than those of control group(P<0.05).None of the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale(HAMA)and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale(HAMD)scores differed significantly between groups before the intervention(P>0.05).After the intervention,HAMA and HAMD scores in study group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).Before the intervention,the difference was not statistically significant in the score of Adolescent Non-suicidal-self-injury(NSSI)Behavior Function Assessment Scale(ANBFAS)between groups(P>0.05).After the intervention,significantly lower behavior score of ANBFAS,and higher function score of ANBFAS were found in study group than those of control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The intensified cognitive behavioral intervention in adolescents with NSSI can effectively improve negative emotions,contribute to develop a positive and optimistic attitude,regulate their own behavior,and ensure a healthy life.
