Young people accessing mental health treatment in Australia frequently engage in dysregulated behaviours, such as substance misuse, deliberate self‐harm (DSH), and binge eating and purging. Rumination has been identified as a correlate of behavioural dysregulation; however, a qualitative examination of the functional relationship between ruminative processes and distress and subsequent engagement in dysregulated behaviours has not yet been conducted. This study aimed to explore the characteristics of rumination in young people and examine how this process relates to engagement in DSH, binge eating and purging, and substance misuse in a sample of treatment‐seeking young people.

对弱势青年沉思、痛苦和失调行为之间关系的定性研究

在澳大利亚接受心理健康治疗的年轻人经常有失调的行为，例如滥用药物、故意自残 (DSH) 以及暴饮暴食和净化。反刍已被确定为行为失调的相关因素；然而，尚未对沉思过程与痛苦以及随后参与失调行为之间的功能关系进行定性检查。本研究旨在探索年轻人反刍的特征，并在寻求治疗的年轻人样本中研究该过程与 DSH、暴饮暴食和清除以及物质滥用之间的关系。
