abstract="This integrative review explored nursing assessment of youth who self-harm. Eleven papers published between 2000 to 2020 met inclusion criteria. Three themes emerged: &quot;Doctors and nurses' perceptions of assessment of self-harm&quot;, &quot;Attitudes and experiences of assessment of self-harm&quot; and &quot;Assessments and outcomes&quot;. The ways youth communicate is an important consideration when assessing and planning for care. The metaphor of Narcissus is used to understand youth beliefs, self-image and how they communicate these thoughts. This paper suggests an alternative reading of what young people, who presents with self-harm, are trying to communicate to others and how this is integrated into assessment.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
