Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a growing global mental health challenge, distinct from suicidal behavior, with unique risk factors and mechanisms. Existing risk assessment tools do not focus on differentiating NSSI from suicidal self-harm or comprehensively evaluate risk and protective factors specific to NSSI. There is a lack of clinically applicable, validated scales dedicated to assessing NSSI risk, particularly in psychiatric populations. The present study is made to design the Psychiatric Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Risk Assessment Scale, a 39-item scale that evaluates static/dynamic risk factors and protective factors for NSSI in psychiatric patients.
