TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Death anxiety and pain catastrophizing among male inmates with nonsuicidal self-injury behavior: a comparative study JO - American journal of men's health A1 - Enea, Violeta A1 - Dafinoiu, Ion A1 - Bogdan, Georgiana A1 - Matei, Carmen SP - 1174 EP - 1181 VL - 11 IS - 4 N2 - Most of the studies concerning nonsuicidal self-injury behaviors of persons deprived of liberty were on female participants. This cross-sectional comparative study compared the levels of death anxiety, pain catastrophizing, dissociative experiences, and state-trait anger among male inmates with nonsuicidal self-injury behaviors and noninjuring controls. The results indicated high levels of death anxiety, dissociation, and pain catastrophizing in both groups of participants and the absence of significant differences between the groups. The implications of the results suggest the need of taking into consideration these variables in the behavior management plans used with inmates who engage in self-injurious behavior.
