Abstract

Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the moderating role of social support in relationship between psychological distress and Non-suicidal self-injury. Methods: This descriptive-correlational research was conducted cross-sectionally on 271 undergraduate students studying at the Islamic Azad University of Neyshabur branch in 2023. The research units were selected by cluster sampling method. Data collection was done using Kessler's psychological distress Scale, Perceived social support Multidimensional Scale, and Deliberate and Intentional Self-Injury Inventory. The data were analyzed using the PROCESS plugin in SPSS version 26 and the statistical methods of Pearson's correlation coefficient and regression analysis. Results: The mean and standard deviation of the students' age was 24.03 years. In the study, 80.8% of the participants were female and 80.4% were students studying in the faculty of humanities. The research results showed that there is a significant relationship between psychological distress and Non-suicidal self-injury (r= 0.505, p<0.01), social support and Non-suicidal self-injury (r= 0.316, p<0.01) and also between psychological distress and social support (r = -0.378, p< 0.01). Also, social support moderated the relationship between psychological distress and Non-suicidal self-injury. Conclusion: social support as a protective factor plays an important role in reducing Non-suicidal self-injury. Researchers and specialists in the field of mental health can pay attention to the role of social support in the prevention and treatment of Non-suicidal self-injury.
