Introduction: Self-harm is one of the mental health problems experienced by adolescents. In Indonesia, the
behaviour of self-harm in adolescents has increased. However, no research analyses the factors related to self-harm
behaviour in adolescents. The study aimed to analyse the factors associated with self-harm behaviour in adolescents
in drug rehabilitation.
Methods: This study used a descriptive-correlative design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study
was 241 adolescents who were in drug rehabilitation using the purposive sampling technique. This research was
conducted in the Lido Centre for the Rehabilitation of the National Narcotics Agency, the Lampung Centre for
Rehabilitation of the National Narcotics Agency, the Cipinang Besar Utara Narcotics Penitentiary, the Special Prison
for Children of Jakarta, Lampung Narcotics Penitentiary, and the Al Islamy Foundation. This study used five
questionnaires, namely the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness, Self-Identity Questionnaire, UCLA Loneliness Scale
Version 3, and the Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory. This research was conducted in May-October 2020. The data of
this study were analysed using a logistic regression test.
Results: The results of the logistic regression analysis showed that, from several factors related to self-harm, namely
loneliness, self-identity, and stigma, two factors that are most related to self-harm behaviour are self-identity and
stigma, with a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05).
Conclusions: Self-harm behaviour can occur due to factors such as self-identity and stigma. This research can be a
basis for providing nursing interventions to adolescents undergoing drug rehabilitation. Appropriate nursing
interventions can help adolescents undergoing drug rehabilitation control the self-harm behaviour they want to
engage in. Researchers recommend the importance of interventions aimed at strengthening self-identity and reducing
stigma in efforts to prevent and treat self-harm behaviour. Additionally, future research is recommended to consider
other variables that may also contribute to this behaviour.
