Abstract

Objective To explore the mediating role of adolescent self-blame and depressive symptoms between paternal co-parenting and adolescent non-suicidal self-injury. Methods Teenagers and their parents completed the online questionnaire survey using a convenience sampling method from May to July 2022.The Adolescence Revision of Co-parenting Scale (CPS), Co-parenting Relationship Scale (CRS), Self-blame subscale of Depressive experience Scale, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, Non-Suicidal Self-injury Scale (NSSI) were employed, the mediating effect of adolescent self-blame and depressive symptoms between paternal co-parenting and adolescent non-suicidal self-injury was examined using a structural-equation model and Bootstrap method. Results A total of 2,572 teenagers and 1830 mothers of teenagers completed the questionnaires, of which 1,832 questionnaires of teenagers and 1,623 of the latter were valid, with an effective recovery rate of 77.2% and 88.7% respectively. 572 pairs of teenagers and mothers were from the same family. The score of the dimensions of paternal co-parenting was (14.27±8.20) and (3.11±3.24) evaluated by the teenager and their mother; The score of adolescent self-blame was (2.61±1.04); The score of adolescent depressive symptoms was (7.32±6.01). Adolescent self-blame (β=0.377, P< 0.001) and depressive symptoms (β=0.220, P<0.001) played a mediating role between paternal co-parenting and adolescent non-suicidal self-injury; they also exerted a chain mediating effect on adolescent non-suicidal self-injury (95%CI: 0.175, 0.152). Conclusion Paternal co-parenting exerted significant impacts on adolescent mental health. Negative paternal co-parenting can lead to adolescent self-blame and depressive symptoms living in a negative family environment. Adolescent depressive symptoms such as low mood and low self-worth are the manifestation of adolescent mental health, and it’s also one of the important reasons for adolescent non-suicidal self-injury. In the present study, the results showed that paternal co-parenting could impact adolescent non-suicidal self-injury through the chain mediating effect of adolescent self-blame and depressive symptoms.
