Women’s experiences of

self injury and trauma

Audit 2007 Approx 80% of patients had experienced abuse

Most had experienced complex trauma with residual symptoms Often linked to their index offence

76% of women employ self injurious behaviour as a coping strategy Many engaging in life threatening self injury

On average over 50 incidents per month across the ward areas Staff injuries due to intervening to prevent self injury

The Background

NICE Guidance Self-Harm: longer-term management (133) Nov 2011

The key priorities for implementation when working with people who self-harm include:

Trusting supportive relationships Awareness of stigma and discrimination Non judgemental approach Involvement in decision making about treatment and care Foster autonomy and independence where ever possible Continuity of therapeutic relationships Information communicated sensitively

33

The National High Secure Healthcare Service for Women Trauma and Self Injury Programme

3 levels:

Proactive Approaches educating patients and staff about living and working with self injury and the impact of trauma

Interactive Approachesto create positive ward atmospheres which focus on managing and minimising self injury in a way which is helpful to all who live and work there

‘I now understand the difference between when I am impulsive and when I am spontaneous’

‘It has helped me trust my named nurse and the

team, they get where I am coming from, I can now

ask them when things get bad in my head’

‘I don’t feel so ashamed to talk about how it feels inside when

everything builds up. Stops me hitting someone or

cutting my arms’

‘It gives me something that’s just about me , not what I’ve done’

‘It gives me a framework as a nurse to gain understanding of what the woman is

experiencing from her own view”

‘opportunity to look at what helps reduce distress

It is what I should be doing as a nurse, this aids recovery’

‘The most helpful thing was learning about the

vicious cycles I didn’t realise that avoidance

doesn’t help.’

‘I would like to share what I have learnt with my mum I think she will

understand me better.’
