Abstract：Objective:To conduct a meta-integration of qualitative studies on adolescents'experiences of self-injury,in order to provide the reference for formulating intervention strategies for adolescent self-injury prevention programs.Methods:Qualitative studies on adolescent self-injury experiences were retrieved systematically from PubMed,EMbase,Web of Science,the Cochrane Library,CNKI,WanFang Database,VIP,and SinoMed,from the establishment of the database to April 12,2023.The Australian JBI Center for Evidence-Based Healthcare Quality Assessment Standards for Qualitative Research(2016)was used to evaluate the quality of the literature,and the pooled meta-integration method was used to integrate the results.Results:A total of 14 articles were included,and 48 themes were extracted.One research result was irrelevant to the theme.Finally,47 themes were included,forming 11 new categories and 4 integrated results(differential emotional response forms,self-injury cognition and behavioral decision-making,physical and mental discomfort,limited social interaction,and desire for social support).Conclusions:The incidence of self-injury among adolescents is high,which is related to a variety of factors.Medical staff and family members should pay attention to adolescents'physical and mental health,strengthen observation and evaluation,provide multi-faceted support,improve their self-emotional management ability,and effectively prevent self-injurious behavior.
