Deliberate self-harm (DSH) is a significant global health concern among university students. Investigating the interplay between coping styles, social support, and DSH is crucial for understanding and predicting DSH in this population. The aims to clarify the complex association among DSH, coping styles, and social support and to quantify the predictive power of coping styles and social support. A cross-sectional, correlational design was used to collect self-reported data from 905 university students in Jordan. The study found that 63.4% of university students engaged in DSH, with varying degrees of severity. Coping styles revealed a predominant reliance on religious and planning coping styles. Social support scores exhibited considerable variability among items, with family support being the highest. Coping styles and social support were found to significantly predict DSH. In conjunction, fostering a culture of open communication and reducing stigma surrounding mental health issues is imperative. This can be achieved through campus-wide awareness campaigns, promoting peer support networks, and engaging in ongoing dialogue to create a nurturing environment for student well-being. These findings contribute to the understanding of DSH among university students and offer opportunities for targeted interventions such as workshops on problem-solving, stress management, and faculty training to enhance student mental health in universities and support strategies to enhance well-being.

故意自残（DSH）是大学生中一个重要的全球健康问题。研究应对方式、社会支持和 DSH 之间的相互作用对于理解和预测该人群的 DSH 至关重要。目的是阐明 DSH、应对方式和社会支持之间的复杂关联，并量化应对方式和社会支持的预测能力。采用横断面相关设计来​​收集约旦 905 名大学生的自我报告数据。研究发现，63.4%的大学生从事DSH，且严重程度不同。应对方式揭示了对宗教和计划应对方式的主要依赖。社会支持得分在各个项目之间表现出相当大的差异，其中家庭支持最高。研究发现应对方式和社会支持可以显着预测 DSH。与此同时，培育开放沟通的文化并减少围绕心理健康问题的耻辱势在必行。这可以通过全校范围内的宣传活动、促进同伴支持网络以及参与持续对话来为学生的福祉创造一个培育环境来实现。这些发现有助于大学生对 DSH 的理解，并提供有针对性的干预措施的机会，例如问题解决研讨会、压力管理和教师培训，以增强大学学生的心理健康，并支持增强福祉的策略。
