The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of continuous care provided by a mobile medical platform on non-suicidal self-injury behaviour, depressive symptoms and anxiety levels in adolescents diagnosed with depression. A total of 100 adolescent patients with depression were randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group received continuous psychological nursing based on a mobile medical platform, while the control group received standard treatment. Before and after the intervention, changes in the self-injury behaviour, depressive symptoms and anxiety levels of patients were evaluated using the Adolescent Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Assessment Questionnaire (ANSSIAQ), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA). After the intervention, the ANSSIAQ, HAMD and HAMA scores in the study group were significantly better than those in the control group (P < 0.05), indicating that the patients in the study group experienced significant improvement in self-injury behaviours, depressive symptoms and anxiety levels. Continuous nursing based on a mobile medical platform can effectively reduce the self-injurious behaviours of adolescent patients with depression, as well as relieve depression symptoms and anxiety levels, suggesting the important value of modern scientific and technological intervention in mental health intervention.
