Abstract

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a self-damaging behavior which brings substantial harm to the individual. Exposure to intimate partner violence in the past may be a predictor variable that is related to NSSI. However, little is known about the nature or magnitude of this relationship. This meta-analysis therefore aimed to provide a wholistic view of existing literature to capture and quantify this potential relationship between intimate partner violence and NSSI. The databases PubMed, Scopus, and the Web of Science were searched for relevant articles. This yielded 6 studies and 8 independent samples published after 2000. The present random-effects meta-analysis identified that those who had experienced intimate partner violence were significantly more at risk for developing NSSI. This finding targeted specific population at risk for developing NSSI and offered insights about providing necessary intervention for vulnerable individuals.
