SELF-HARM BEHAVIOR AMONG TEENAGER AND FATHER’S INVOLVEMENT IN PARENTING: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY

2025-04-23T06:33:53+00:00

Background: A meta-analysis conducted in 2019 reported that 22.1% of individuals engaged in self-harming behaviors, with 17% of these cases occurring among adolescents. However, empirical research examining the association between paternal involvement and adolescent self-harm remains limited, warranting further investigation. Purpose: This study aims to assess paternal role in relation to self harm. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Medan, Indonesia, involving a sample of 1,221 high school students. Data collection utilized the Self-Harm Inventory (SHI). Statistical analyses included proportion and central distribution tests, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation. Results: The findings reveal a statistically significant association between paternal involvement and self-harm behavior. Adolescents experiencing fatherlessness were found to be 15.42 times more likely to engage in self-harming behavior compared to those with positively involved fathers. Furthermore, a negative correlation was observed between paternal involvement and self-harm scores, indicating that reduced paternal engagement is associated with higher levels of self-harming behavior among adolescents. Conclusion: The absence of a father figure or inadequate paternal involvement is significantly associated with increased self-harm behavior in adolescents. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions, including psychotherapeutic support and active involvement of close family members, to mitigate self-harm among this vulnerable population.
