Abstract
Adolescents with IBD are at risk for depressive symptoms and lower HRQOL. The association of adolescent and parent depressive symptoms with adolescent HRQOL is examined while controlling for disease activity. Adolescents (N = 86) and their caregivers completed measures of depressive symptoms. Adolescents completed an IBD-specific HRQOL measure. Parent depression significantly moderated the relation between adolescent-reported depressive symptoms and HRQOL. HRQOL decreased as adolescent depressive symptoms increased. This relation was only significant among adolescents with parents reporting higher depressive symptoms. Adolescent depressive symptoms are associated with lower HRQOL. The presence of parent depressive symptoms intensifies this relation.
