结局指标
主要结局
Suicidal Ideation
时间窗: 8-12 weeks
Suicidal ideation involves thoughts or ideas about engaging in behaviors intended to end one's life. As a primary outcome measure, assessing suicidal ideation is crucial in understanding the impact of the intervention on the participants' mental health and risk of self-harm.
Psychological Distress
时间窗: 8-12 weeks
This refers to the overall level of emotional suffering or discomfort experienced by individuals, often encompassing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. In this study, psychological distress serves as a primary outcome measure because it is a key variable being assessed in relation to the intervention's efficacy.
Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI)
时间窗: 8-12 weeks
NSSI refers to deliberate, self-inflicted harm to one's body without suicidal intent, such as cutting or burning oneself. It is an essential primary outcome measure in this study because it directly relates to the intervention's effectiveness in reducing self-harming behaviors among participants.
