ANCAJIMA CARRASCO, Brian Andrés  and  CORTEZ VIDAL, Marilia Sibele. Self-injurious Behaviors on Students the Public Hight School. Revista de Psicologia [online]. 2022, n.28, pp.53-66. ISSN 2223-3032.  https://doi.org/10.53287/sdhk5564oc21f.

Self-harm is a phenomenon whose prevalence rates have been increasing in the teenage population, so it is considered necessary to know in depth the different aspects involved in the execution of such behaviors. However, the research that broaches this variable in Peru, and especially in the Piura region, is scarce. Therefore it was sought to determine the levels of self-injurious behavior in hight school students of a public educational institution in the region. The SHAGER self-injury scale was used, which was applied virtually through the Google platform, along with an ad hoc sociodemographic card. Non-experimental - descriptive study, N= 1057, n= 283. It was found that the Self-punishment and Anti-suicide functions are located at High and Average levels, respectively. In addition, in terms of sociodemographic characteristics, the students come from nuclear families, with married parents, are of the Catholic religion and most of them do not belong to any social group. In conclusion, the students are at the Average level of self-injurious behavior, since there is a significant percentage of them that is located at the High level.
