We sought to investigate how individuals who upload nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) content on Instagram conceptualize self-injury by examining associated hashtags. Additionally, we explored NSSI hashtag usage trends over time. Using a web-based crawler and data analysis system, we downloaded 1,217,208 Instagram posts containing one of five popular NSSI hashtags (#cutting, #selfharm, #selfharmmm, #hatemyself, and #selfharmawareness) and categorized them based on psychological constructs (suicide, depression, anxiety/panic, eating disorders, addiction, general mental distress, other specific mental illnesses, and self-injury). Results show that NSSI hashtags were most associated with suicide, depression, general mental distress, anxiety/panic, and eating disorders, and, to a lesser extent, other specific mental illnesses, borderline personality disorder, and addiction. We determined that three of the five hashtags demonstrated an increase in usage over time, one remained relatively stable, and one decreased in usage. We discuss implications for mental health professionals regarding how to discuss social media use with clients who self-injure and consider clients’ technology use in treatment plans.

Instagram 上的非自杀性自伤:检查标签趋势

我们试图调查在 Instagram 上上传非自杀性自伤 (NSSI) 内容的个人如何通过检查相关的主题标签将自伤概念化。此外,我们还探讨了 NSSI 主题标签随时间的使用趋势。使用基于网络的爬虫和数据分析系统,我们下载了 1,217,208 个 Instagram 帖子,其中包含五个流行的 NSSI 主题标签(#cutting、#selfharm、#selfharmmm、#hatemyself 和 #selfharmawareness)之一,并根据心理结构(自杀、抑郁、焦虑/恐慌、饮食失调、成瘾、一般精神困扰、其他特定精神疾病和自残)。结果表明,NSSI 标签与自杀、抑郁、一般精神困扰、焦虑/恐慌和饮食失调最相关,在较小程度上与其他特定的精神疾病有关,边缘性人格障碍和成瘾。我们确定五个标签中的三个随着时间的推移表现出使用量的增加,一个保持相对稳定,一个使用量下降。我们讨论了如何与自我伤害的客户讨论社交媒体使用以及在治疗计划中考虑客户的技术使用对心理健康专业人员的影响。
