Automutilação em adolescentes brasileiros: uma revisão integrativa no contexto escolar

Abstract

The present study aims to identify interventions used in the school context for Brazilian adolescents who self-mutilate with the aim of understanding the professional practices carried out at school. Specific objectives: to understand the concept of self-harm, identify the characteristics of adolescents who exhibit the behavior and understand triggering factors. An integrative review was carried out on the Scielo and Periódicos CAPES platforms, published in Portuguese, between January 2019 and December 2023, within the portal's relevance criteria, with 07 articles being filtered at the end that contained research-related interventions. The analysis of the selected articles was carried out using Content Analysis. It was possible to identify the main categories of analysis: self-mutilation behavior, characteristics of adolescents who self-mutilate and triggering factors, interventions used in the school context and difficulties presented. It is noteworthy that it is possible to conclude that the topic presents a scarcity of articles and a lack of detail in the selected materials, in addition to individualizing behavior, not proposing dialogue between the adolescent and the school, community and family.
