Brief Summary

Non suicidal self injury (NSSI) has become a serious social and public health problem allover the world, and the incidence rate is increasing year by year. Although the aim of NSSI is not to suicide, but its negative impact is extremely serious, which will seriously threaten the physical and mental health of adolescents. Virtual Reality (VR), a computer simulation technology, can enable people to enter and experience the artificial virtual world in an immersive way, has been used for the auxiliary treatment of anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and other diseases. This study explored the impact of VR on the depression and mental health of NSSI adolescents, so as to reduce the incidence of non-suicide self-injury behavior in NSSI adolescent patients and improve the quality of life of such patients.
