RESUMEN

The rising prevalence of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) in pediatric populations along with the recent inclusion of NSSI as a condition for further study in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) have increased the focus on the assessment and treatment of NSSI among youth. Despite the frequent occurrence of NSSI in inpatient psychiatric treatment settings, there are no empirically based assessment protocols to guide clinical staff. This article presents findings from a needs assessment conducted with staff at a state-run child and adolescent inpatient treatment facility. The purpose was to assess the need for formalized NSSI training among staff. A questionnaire was developed to evaluate whether staff had received formal training in NSSI assessment and treatment as well as typical practice responses to patients engaging in NSSI behaviors. The questionnaire also evaluated staff comfort and confidence in their knowledge and skills concerning the assessment and treatment of NSSI among children and adolescents. Respondents were 126 clinical staff, most of whom were nursing staff. Only a minority of staff reported having received formal NSSI training, and a third of respondents indicated that they do not typically assess for NSSI at all. Although a substantial percentage of clinical staff self-reported comfort and confidence with assessing and treating NSSI, fewer than 10% demonstrated accurate skill. Formal training in NSSI is associated with positive outcomes for both patients and staff in general healthcare settings. These findings suggest that similar training for staff on pediatric inpatient psychiatric units will likely foster comfort, confidence, and accuracy, thereby improving outcomes for children and adolescents engaging in NSSI behaviors.
