Abstract

In this study, a qualitative meta-analysis was conducted to aid comprehensive understanding of the experiences of non-suicidal self-injury and the experiences in the process of overcoming and recovering. Analyzing the 12 qualitative studies on non-suicidal self-injury that have been conducted in South Korea and integrating and deriving new meanings from the results of each individual case based on the review of an integrated perspectives, the researchers suggest a practical intervention plan in the counseling field to help the recovery process with an expanded understanding. The analysis process was conducted with a grounded theory approach and 203 semantic units, 31 categories, 9 subcategories, and 3 major themes were derived through open coding. Then, a paradigm model and a process analysis were performed, and finally an integrated model of non-suicidal self-injury was presented. Until recently, most of studies conducted in South Korea have mainly cited a foreign literature for the theoretical model of self-injury. This study is meaningful in that it integrates the theory of non-suicidal self-injury based on domestic research and proposes an integrated model of non-suicidal self-injury that explains the process of how they start and and stop of self-harm based on these findings.
