Title: The Effect of a Brief Psychological Intervention on Reducing Self-harm Repetition: Feasibility Study
Brief Summary: Recent research has focused on examining brief interventions for reducing self-harm, such as the volitional help sheet (VHS). The VHS is a theory-based psychological intervention. Two previous studies applying this tool for reducing self-harm repetition showed inconsistent results; one showed reduced subsequent self-reported suicidal ideation and behavior in patients presenting to hospital for self-harm, whilst the other showed no effect on the number of patients who re-presented to hospital with self-harm. The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of the VHS intervention amongst self-harm patients in Taiwan and explore its effect on self-harm repetition based on self-reported self-harm, hospital re-presentations with self-harm, and self-harm episodes from a nationwide self-harm registry. It is a two-phase study: first a qualitative study and second an exploratory randomized control trial. The first study is to interview people who self-harm about their perceptions about the VHS on the online platform, to inform the modification of VHS and the best way to intervene. The second is to examine the feasibility and effect of this intervention at the emergency department setting.


Options:
A: Dissociation Tension Scale (DSS), a reliable and valid self-rating instrument to assess dissociative experiences and inner tension during the last 24 hours (Stiglmayr et al. 2001) (Oct. 1998-Oct 2001)
B: drinking - measured using the TLFB (12 weeks); craving - measured using the OCDS (12 weeks); aggression - measured using the STAE (12 weeks)
C: The acceptability of the intervention to patients (within 6 months of study completion); The feasibility of intervention delivery at the ER setting (within 6 months of study completion); Patient recruitment (Baseline); The proportion of participating patients who can be reached by telephone contact at the 3-month follow-up. (3 months); The proportion of participating patients who can be reached by telephone contact at the 6-month follow-up. (6 months); The proportion of participating patients who can be traced from the hospital record at the 3-month. (3 months); The proportion of participating patients who can be traced from the hospital record at the 6-month. (6 months); The proportion of participating patients whose identity card number can be linked to the nationwide self-harm registry at the 6-month. (6 months); The proportion of participating patients whose identity card number can be linked to the nationwide self-harm registry at the 3-month. (3 months); Change in scores on a self-report suicidal behaviors assessment from baseline to 3 months (Baseline, 3 months); Change in scores on a self-report suicidal behaviors assessment from baseline to 6 months (Baseline, 6 months); Number of repeat self-harm episodes per person in 3 months after intervention based on hospital records (3 months); Number of repeat self-harm episodes per person in 3 months after intervention recorded in the nationwide self-harm registry (3 months); Number of repeat self-harm episodes per person in 6 months after intervention based on hospital records (6 months); Number of repeat self-harm episodes per person in 6 months after intervention recorded in the nationwide self-harm registry (6 months); Time to next self-harm repetition (in days) following randomization (6 months)
D: Number of days with hospital admission (Change between the period from 12 month retrospectively to Baseline and the period from baseline to 12 months prospectively)
