Family Environment and Self-Care in the Context of Self-Harm

Summary/Abstract: Family is one of the most important social groups influencing one’s personality and behaviour. The aim of this study was to examine the issue of self-harm via characteristics of a family and self-care. We used the following methods: The Self-harm questionnaire (Sansone, Wiederman, Sansone, 1998), The Self-regulation questionnaire of self-care (Hricová, Lovaš, 2013) and The Family Environment Scale (Hargašova, Kollarik, 1992). Participants were 92 primary school pupils in the Kosice region between the ages of 12 and 16. 43 students reported self-harm, which was mainly determined by impaired cohesion in the family. 89 students showed high self-care and they declared more intense care about their mental than their physical health. A significant relationship was observed between self-harm and low health control and also between low emotional control and disturbed cohesion in the family.
