An Analysis of Self-Harm Behaviors among Undergraduate Students of Indonesia University of Education
Abstract
Cases of self-harm among students are an increasing phenomenon, a survey conducted by Kompas.com in 2019 on first semester college students in Bandung showed that 30.5% of students were depressed, 20% seriously thought about committing suicide, and 6% had attempted suicide such as cutting, jumping from a height, and hanging himself (www.Kompas.com, 2019). The purpose of this study is to analyze the self-harm behavior that occurs in students, the participants in this study amounted to 299 active students in the Indonesian Education University, spread across 8 faculties and regional campuses, with an age range of 18-24 years. The measuring instrument used is the Indonesian version of the Self-Harm Inventory from Kusumadewi, et al (2017), which has been modified by researchers and has a reliability of 0.886. The results showed as many as 144 participants (48.1%) had hurt themselves intentionally, 88 participants (29.5%) never did, and 67 participants (22.4%) often did. It can be concluded that almost the majority of students at the University of Indonesia have committed self-harm. This research is expected to be an early screening as an early detection in preventing self-harm behavior.
