ABSTRACT
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a complex issue that requires the collaboration of educators and healthcare professionals. The study aimed to map the practices implemented in schools regarding NSSI in adolescents. The search strategy used in MEDLINE®/PubMed® was adapted for EMBASE, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane Library, LILACS/BVS, BDENF, PsycINFO, ERIC, Web of Science, SCIELO, and ADOLEC. Additional studies were identified through the reference lists of primary publications included in the review. The scoping review included eight studies. The practices were related to the identification, screening, and monitoring of students, as well as training the school staff for a better understanding and prevention of NSSI. These practices were available in the form of interviews, protocols, educational programs, and school policies. The professionals responsible were psychologists, school nurses, and child and adolescent psychiatrists. School nurses collaborated with healthcare professionals and educators to ensure personalized care plans.
