Self-Concept, Depression, and Anxiety Levels of Adolescents with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

In this study we explored the level and severity of issues related to self-concept, depression, and anxiety in adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Cross-sectional and case-control study. The research was conducted in the outpatient Pediatric Endocrinology Clinic of Adiyaman University School of Medicine in Turkey. The study population comprised 153 patients with PCOS and 161 healthy adolescents. The Personal Information Form, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children, Children's Depression Inventory, and Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale were administered to all of the participants who took part in the study. The Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale scores were lower in the PCOS group than in the control group (P<.001). In addition, the scores for the Children's Depression Inventory were also significantly higher in the PCOS group (P<.001). The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children scores showed statistically significant higher levels of state anxiety and trait anxiety in the PCOS group (P<.001).

The interaction of 5-HTT variation, recent stress, and resilience on current anxiety levels in adolescents and young adults from the general population.

Previous work on gene-environment (GxE) interplay concerning anxiety has focused on the interaction of 5-HTTLPR with childhood adversities or traumatic events whereas the impact of recent stressors is understudied, as is the integration of resilience. The current study aimed to investigate the interactive effect of 5-HTTLPR and recent stress on anxiety in adolescents considering resilience as buffer of a GxE risk constellation. In a random population-based sample of 14-21 years old from Dresden, Germany, (N = 1180; genotyped = 942) recent stress (Daily Hassles [DH] Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, Screening Scale of the Trier Inventory for the Assessment of Chronic Stress), resilience (Connor-Davidson resilience scale) and anxiety (Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Anxiety Short Form) were assessed via questionnaire in 2015 or 2016. Fractional regression models revealed that resilience interacted with recent stress in form of DH as well as recent chronic stress and 5-HTTLPR regarding anxiety. Participants carrying the more active LA LA genotype reported consistently higher levels of anxiety when experiencing more DH or more recent chronic stress and having low levels of resilience. When the resilience scores were high, LA LA carriers reported the lowest anxiety scores despite DH or recent chronic stress. Findings revealed an interactive relationship between 5-HTTLPR genotype and recent stress suggesting resilience to function as an additional dimension buffering the impact of a GxE risk constellation. Early interventions to build resilience may be useful to prevent an escalation of distress and associated unfavorable health outcomes.

The effect of Aromatherapy on Pain, Itching, State Anxiety Levels and Respiratory Distress in Children with Burns: A Systematic Review

Peculiarities of the influence of media products on the level of adolescent anxiety

The article considers the problem of the influence of modern media products on the psychological characteristics of the individual, the violation of its information and psychological security and, as a consequence, the increase in the level of anxiety in adolescents. The subjects were 90 adolescents aged 13-15, who were resting in the children's center "Young Guard". The following research methods were used: methods of deviant analysis of media text by S.V. Knyzhnykova, methods of studying the level of anxiety by P. Kondash, methods by CH.D. Spielberger to detect personal and situational anxiety (adaptation by Yu.L. Khanin), the test of viability by S. Maddi (adaptation by D.O. Leontiev, E.I. Rasskazov). Spearman's correlation method and the Mann-Whitney U test were used for statistical analysis. The results showed that modern adolescents mostly choose the Internet and television among the media, do not approve of aggressive films, but consider aggression as a quality of a poorly educated person and as a result of self-defense against injustice; they consider cruel films and computer games dangerous, they are outraged by the following media stories - a naturalistic depiction of violence, a demonstration of perversions, a detailed depiction of death and abuse of people. Adolescents have an average level of vitality, but the level of involvement is low, the level of control is medium, and the level of risk appetite is high; the average level of situational and personal anxiety prevails, self-esteem and interpersonal anxiety prevails. It has been proven that such media products as violent films and computer games, films with scenes of various types of violence and murders, as well as media stories such as depictions of bullying and violence against people, their deaths and perversions affect the personality of adolescents and contribute to situational anxiety, interpersonal anxiety and general anxiety.

Family dysfunction and anxiety in adolescents: A moderated mediation model of self-esteem and perceived school stress

This 18-month longitudinal study examined a moderated mediation model addressing the psychosocial mechanisms that account for the association between family dysfunction and anxiety. A sample of 847 Chinese early adolescents (M age = 12.96 years, SD = 0.67) completed questionnaires assessing family dysfunction, self-esteem, perceived school stress, and anxiety on three occasions at 6-month intervals. After gender and socioeconomic status were included as covariates, the results revealed that family dysfunction was significantly associated with adolescents' anxiety. Moreover, self-esteem partially mediated the relation between family dysfunction and anxiety, and perceived school stress moderated the mediation process in the family dysfunction to anxiety path and in the self-esteem to anxiety path. The findings suggested that both social contextual factors (e.g., family dysfunction and school stress) and self-system factors (e.g., low self-esteem) are risk factors for increased anxiety levels in adolescents. Limitations and practical applications of the study were discussed.

Relación entre asertividad, rendimiento académico y ansiedad en una muestra de estudiantes mexicanos de secundaria

Las habilidades sociales, en su forma más avanzada, están dirigidas a resolver problemas inmediatos de la situación, a la vez que minimizan la probabilidad de futuros problemas. Específicamente, la habilidad reconocida como asertividad puede guardar una relación con el rendimiento académico y el nivel de ansiedad en adolescentes. Teniendo esto en cuenta, el objetivo de la presente investigación es conocer la relación entre el nivel de asertividad, el rendimiento académico y diversos componentes de la ansiedad en una muestra de estudiantes mexicanos de secundaria, así como explorar posibles diferencias por sexo. Para esto, se hace un análisis descriptivo y correlacional, donde se utilizan dos instrumentos: la Escala de Conducta Asertiva para Niños y la Escala de Ansiedad Manifiesta en Niños (revisada) ; además del promedio de calificaciones como indicador del rendimiento académico. Se utilizó una muestra de 535 adolescentes (54.6 % mujeres y 45.4 % hombres), con un promedio de edad de 13.01 años ( DE = .74, rango de 11 a 17 años). Se realizó un muestreo por conglomerados y conveniencia, donde se abarcó la totalidad de los alumnos de los dos primeros grados escolares de una escuela pública del Estado de Hidalgo. Los resultados indican diferencias por sexo en todas las variables de estudio y correlaciones estadísticamente significativas entre asertividad y ansiedad ( r = .182, p < .01), entre rendimiento académico y asertividad ( r = -.203, p < .01), y entre el rendimiento académico y el componente preocupaciones sociales de la escala de ansiedad ( r = -.124, p < .01), aunque estas últimas fueron de baja magnitud.

Resting-State Peripheral Catecholamine and Anxiety Levels in Korean Male Adolescents with Internet Game Addiction.

The purpose of this study was to compare the resting-state plasma catecholamine and anxiety levels of Korean male adolescents with Internet game addiction (IGA) and those without IGA. This cross-sectional comparative study was conducted with 230 male high school students in a South Korean city. Convenience and snowball sampling methods were employed, and data were collected using (1) participant blood samples analyzed for dopamine (DA), epinephrine (Epi), and norepinephrine (NE) and (2) two questionnaires to assess IGA and anxiety levels. Using SPSS 15.0, data were analyzed by descriptive analysis, χ2-tests, t-tests, and Pearson's correlation tests. The plasma Epi (t = 1.962, p < 0.050) and NE (t = 2.003, p = 0.046) levels were significantly lower in the IGA group than in the non-IGA group; DA levels did not significantly differ between the groups. The mean anxiety level of the IGA group was significantly higher compared with the non-IGA group (t =−6.193, p < 0.001). No significant correlations were found between catecholamine and anxiety levels. These results showed that excessive Internet gaming over time induced decreased peripheral Epi and NE levels, thus altering autonomic regulation, and increasing anxiety levels in male high school students. Based on these physiological and psychological effects, interventions intended to prevent and treat IGA should include stabilizing Epi, NE, and anxiety levels in adolescents.

Anxiety levels in adolescents who stutter

High levels of anxiety can negatively affect the lives of children and adolescents. Thirty-six adolescents who stutter and 36 adolescents who do not stutter were administered standardized scales for anxiety and self-esteem. Significant differences were found for the total T-scores for Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale for the two groups, although both groups mean T-scores were within normal range. Eighty-three percent of adolescents who stutter and 95% of adolescents who do not stutter earned scores in the normal range. No significant differences were found on the self-esteem scale, with 86% of adolescents who stutter and 97% of adolescents who do not stutter earning scores in the normal/positive range. Adolescents who stutter with co-occurring disorders displayed significantly higher levels of anxiety than adolescents who stutter with no co-occurring disorders. No significant differences were found between groups on ethnicity, socioeconomic class, gender and anxiety levels. A positive, significant correlation between anxiety scores and self-esteem scores was found for both groups. Learning outcomes: Readers will learn about and understand (a) the role of anxiety and self-esteem in stuttering; (b) the methods used to evaluate anxiety and self-esteem in adolescents; and (c) the similarities between adolescents who stutter and adolescents who do not stutter on anxiety and self-esteem scales.

The Relationship Between Lifestyle and Anxiety Levels In Adolescent Girls.

The modern Japanese society has become a very difficult environment for adolescents in which to maintain their optimal physical and mental health. Lifestyle in particular is said to reflect not only health, but also psychological wellbeing including the level of anxiety in adolescents. To investigate the relationship between lifestyle and anxiety in adolescent females, 475 junior high school students at a private women's school in Kanagawa Prefecture participated in this study in April, 1999. A questionnaire was distributed, and physical measurements were taken for all subjects. The percentage of body fat was also measured using a Tanita TBF-310 machine. In addition, the Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale (CMAS), Japanese Version, was used for assessing the anxiety level of students. The data was analyzed with SPSS 9.0 for Windows, and 413 subjects (mean age =13.57 years) with valid and reliable CMAS scores were selected for analyses. As a result, there were significant differences in menarche rate, Body Mass Index (BMI), and the percentage of body fat by grade level. However, no difference in CMAS score by grade was observed. Fewer hours of sleep per night, having no late meal, eating breakfast alone, and having a large appetite were increased as the grade level increased. In addition, subjects were divided into 3 groups (low, moderate, and high anxiety) by the CMAS total score. The high anxiety group reported symptoms of diarrhea more than other groups. In terms of health practices and eating habits, difficulty in waking up and sleeping well, few hours of sleep per night, getting up at irregular times, skipping breakfast, and not enjoying meals were associated with the high anxiety group. Few hours of sleep, having no late meal, and skipping breakfast were also seen in students with high BMI. Multiple regression analyses revealed that the length of sleep per night, presence of diarrhea symptoms, and difficulty in waking up were predictors of the total CMAS score of subjects. In summary, the level of anxiety in adolescent girls showed a significant correlation with unhealthy lifestyles including health practices and eating habits. These findings suggested that an appropriate health education program for a healthy lifestyle could help maintain optimal mental health in adolescent females.
