abstract="The school nurse may be the first health care professional to intervene and provide care for the student who is self-injurious. Defining self-injury is a topic of debate. In 1930, Karl Menninger first described the trend as &quot;wrist-cutting syndrome.&quot; As health care providers, a clear definition is any self-inflicted harm to the body. This includes cutting, burning, scalding, scraping, bone breaking, and insertion of injurious objects into the body. Cutting with a sharp object, such as a razor blade, scissors, or safety pin, is usually done superficially.Progressing to deeper cuts is the most common form of self-injurious behavior. Burning with a cigarette or lighter is also common. Many people include body piercing, eating disorders, alcohol, and drug abuse as self-injury.   <p>Language: en</p>",
