RESUMO
ObjectiveTo discuss the efficacy of Williams Life Skills Training （WLST） in depressive adolescents with non-suicidal self-injury （NSSI）. MethodsA total of 88 depressive adolescents with NSSI hospitalized in Suzhou Guangji Hospital from January to June 2019 were selected and grouped according to admission order. The corresponding random number was even in intervention group （n=44） and odd as control group （n=44）. Both groups received a 4-week routine depression care， based on this， intervention group received WLST. All selected individuals were assessed using Hamilton Depression Scale-17 item （HAMD-17）， General Self-Efficacy Scale （GSES） and adolescent student life satisfaction scale at the baseline and end of treatment. Then the incidence of NSSI behavior during hospitalization and the reduction rate of HAMD-17 score at discharge were compared between the two groups. ResultsThe incidence rate of NSSI behavior during hospitalization showed significant difference between groups （χ2=11.702， P=0.001）. HAMD-17， GSES and satisfaction scores at discharge were significantly different from those at admission （tcontrol group=-5.256， 10.690， -21.220； tintervention group=-12.540， 11.300， -32.840， P<0.01）. HAMD-17， GSES， satisfaction scores and the reduction rate of HAMD-17 score also showed significant differences between groups （t=0.851， -12.809， -4.883， χ2=75.990， P<0.05 or 0.01）. ConclusionApplication of WLST in depressive adolescents with NSSI may reduce the incidence rate of NSSI behavior， alleviate the degree of depression， enhance the sense of self-efficacy， and improve life satisfaction.
