This study investigates self-injury from the perspective of patients with anorexia nervosa.A phenomenological design was used. Twelve patients participated. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview guide.Participants display self-injurious behavior predominantly in situations when they are forced to eat. They are terrified of gaining weight and use self-injurious behavior to cope with their anxiety. Self-injury is envisioned as a technique to regain control of their own eating pattern without bothering anyone. They feel shame for not controlling their emotions more constructively.Healthcare professionals should systematically observe signals and explore less harmful strategies that help to regulate overwhelming feelings. |
