Research Article: The association of family functioning and suicide in children and adolescents: positive behavior recognition and non-suicidal self-injury as sequential mediators
Abstract:
Background: Suicide is a major behavioral issue among children and adolescents, and family functioning potentially influencing its occurrence. Furthermore, positive behavior recognition, as a key component of positive youth development, may act as a mediating factor in the relationship between family functioning and suicide. Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) often co-occurs with suicide and may also mediate the impact of family functioning on suicide. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine the role of family functioning in child and adolescent suicide, with positive behavior recognition and NSSI serving as sequential mediating factors.
