Self-harm was increasingly common among adults before the COVID-19 pandemic and may become higher as a result of the pandemic. Self-harm needs to be studied and explored as it shows an early sign of parasuicide and suicide behaviors if not adequately addressed and managed. Self-harm may not be as dangerous as parasuicide, but the behaviour may persist into adulthood, leading to life-threatening consequences.
The COVID-19 pandemic globally affected bio-psycho-social-spiritual health because the lockdown abruptly changed the learning and working environment. Utilizing the internet for teaching and learning forced both the educators and the students to use the e-learning mode to its maximum. This e-learning is not without disadvantages, especially for those who are marginalized due to poverty and lack of laptops, electricity, and internet access. This Research Topic aims to discuss and review self-harm from the young adult to elderly age.
The goal of this Research Topic is to examine the incidence and prevalence of self-harm activities in young adults to the elderly following the Covid-19 Pandemic. For example, what are the prevention actions in different social settings, any mobile apps research on new paradigms, approaches, and data from both quantitative and qualitative or mixed research designs. Also, any regulations from the public health involvement in controlling the social media influences towards self-harm and pivoting from the negative influence towards the positive influence. The aim of this Research Topic is to highlight new interdisciplinary research on self-harm activities ranging from the young adult to elderly when moving towards the endemic phase. The involvement from various disciplines in managing self-harm both either interdisciplinary, or transdisciplinary are invited.
Topics may include:
• The incidence or prevalence of self-harm from the young adults to the elderly population during the Post-Covid-19 Pandemic phase.
• Changes in the incidence or prevalence of self-harm during a crisis
• The protective factors of self-harm activities.
• The intervention to detect or prevent self-harm activities.
• Any possible regulations on social media to curb videos of self-harm?
• E-health or mobile apps in managing emotional intelligence managing work stress to avoid self-harm.
• Review papers on self-harm
• Case reports on self-harm
• The role and application of different psychotherapy modalities in managing self-harm behaviours in developing countries where resources and expertise may be limited.
• Self-harm among university students.
• What factors make our adolescents more resilient and kind at the individual, organizational and system-level?
• Any opportunities for improving self-harm among young adults and elderly?
