Studi Literatur: Self-Harm di Kalangan Remaja

Adolescence is a crucial transitional phase marked by physical, emotional, social, and psychological changes. One emerging issue during this period is self-harm behavior, defined as deliberate self-injury without suicidal intent in response to emotional distress. This topic is essential to explore due to the rising prevalence and its impact on adolescents’ psychological well-being. This study employed a literature review method by analyzing various relevant journals and scientific articles. The findings indicate that self-harm is triggered by psychological factors such as emotional dysregulation and mental health issues, as well as social factors like dysfunctional parenting and environmental pressure. Forms of self-harm vary, from skin-cutting to more severe actions. The consequences include physical injuries, feelings of guilt, social withdrawal, and an increased risk of mental disorders. Interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness have proven effective in helping adolescents regulate their emotions. Moreover, family and social support play a significant role in the recovery process. A deeper understanding of risk factors and intervention strategies is expected to reduce self-harm cases and improve adolescents' quality of life.
