Abstract
This study aims to investigate the current state of adolescent crises to determine crisis levels, crisis outcomes, and analyze types of self-harm behavior. The research was conducted on 1,839 middle and high school students in Y region. The survey method employed a self-report questionnaire administered in person, with a survey period from March 25 to April 30, 2024. For data analysis, frequency analysis and t-tests for correspondence were performed to assess adolescent crises. The Crisis Youth Status Survey Scale was used as a measurement tool to assess crisis levels, crisis outcomes, and self-harm behaviors. The results of this study are as follows: First, regarding the effects on determining adolescent crisis levels, when classified into high-risk, risk, potential risk, and general groups, students in the general group showed the highest levels. Second, in terms of the effects on crisis outcomes, internet and smartphone over-dependence was found to be the highest. Third, concerning the effects on self-harm behaviors, behaviors such as burning the body, inflicting burns, and swallowing dangerous substances were found to be the most prevalent. In summary, the current state of adolescent crises has been clearly identified, confirming crisis level determinations, crisis outcomes, and types of self-harm behaviors. This research will provide important foundational data for policy development and improvements in school counseling programs, by identifying the causes of crisis levels and self-harm behaviors. It is expected that this study will play a significant role in establishing more effective prevention and intervention strategies through a deeper understanding of the current state of adolescent crises.
