Perfectionism, Self-Esteem and DSM-IV-Based Symptoms of Anxiety Disorders in Adolescents

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between perfectionism and self-esteem and the symptoms of anxiety disorders in adolescent. Study design: Cross-sectional research design was used in this study Place and duration of the study: The study was conducted from private high secondary schools and colleges in Karachi, Pakistan, from February 2019 to March 2020. Subject and Method: 500 students made up the entire sample for the current study. Additionally, the sample includes both male (N=212) and female (N=288) students. The participants' ages ranged from 12 to 18 years old. The mean age of the sample as a whole was 15.44 (SD=1.82), while the mean ages of male and female students were respectively 15.12 (SD=1.89) and 15.68 (SD=1.88). Furthermore, a sample of 254 kids in grades 8 through 10 and 246 college students in grades 11 and 12 was chosen from various schools and colleges. Results: Pearson product moment correlation and linear regression were used to examine the data using statistical software for social sciences (SPSS- Vol. 16.0). The findings demonstrated that perfectionism and anxiety have a strong positive relationship (P.001). Furthermore, a summary of linear regression demonstrates that perfectionism in adolescents predicts the amount of anxiety in adolescents. Perfectionism accounts for around 5.3 percent of the variation in anxiety symptoms in adolescents. Self-esteem and anxiety, on the other hand, have a substantial negative connection (p.001) among adolescents. Low self-esteem in teenagers significantly predicts the level of anxiety in adolescents, according to the results of linear regression. Self-esteem accounts for around 15% of the variation in anxiety symptoms in adolescents. The findings were evaluated in light of prior studies, and new directions for future research were suggested. Practical Implication: The study "Perfectionism, Self-esteem, and DSM-IV-Based Symptoms of Anxiety Disorders in Adolescents" has important implications for those working with anxious adolescents in the Pakistani community. The results suggest that reducing perfectionism and improving self-esteem could help alleviate anxiety symptoms in Pakistani adolescents, and mental health practitioners can use this information to develop culturally sensitive interventions that take into account the unique cultural and social context of Pakistan. Additionally, early detection and intervention of anxiety symptoms is crucial, and raising awareness among parents, teachers, and healthcare professionals in Pakistan could be beneficial. The study's findings could inform the development of effective, culturally sensitive mental health programs and interventions for Pakistani adolescents in the educational system. Overall, this study provides valuable information to assist parents and professionals in supporting adolescents coping with anxiety challenges. Conclusion: The study provides valuable information for parents and professionals to support adolescents coping with anxiety challenges, but it also has some limitations, and important recommendations were made.

Anxiety Connected with Pelvic Ultrasound in Adolescents and Their Caregivers: Comparison of Transabdominal and Transrectal Approaches

Transabdominal US (TAUS) is usually the first approach for diagnosis of reproductive tract complaints in all adolescents. However, there are instances, when transrectal US (TRUS) is more feasible. Although TRUS is considered more invasive and distressing, evidence-based data are lacking. The study aimed to evaluate the level of anxiety in adolescents subjected to TAUS and TRUS and in their caregivers. In this cross-sectional study data were prospectively gathered using two instruments: adult or child version of the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI or STAIC) and self-developed survey. TAUS and TRUS are connected with high level anxiety in patients and moderate anxiety in caregivers as measured by STAI/STAIC questionnaires; TRUS related anxiety, fear, discomfort and pain in adolescents are significantly higher as compared to TAUS; TRUS related anxiety of caregivers, as well as parent estimated fear, discomfort and pain of adolescents are significantly higher as compared to TAUS; Anticipated pain connected to TRUS, is significantly higher than the post-exam, actually experienced pain; Pain and shame are main reasons for adolescent anxiety connected with TRUS, whereas shame" and "unknown experience" contribute to TAUS related anxiety. Given high level of anxiety in both exams additional support should be provided to patients scheduled for any pelvic US exam; given even higher level of adolescent anxiety related to TRUS, specialists should be encouraged to train in TAUS and make efforts to begin with this approach; as increased caregiver anxiety may adversely affect child's reactions, anxiety reducing interventions should be oriented towards the caregivers as well as patients.

Health-Related Fitness as a Predictor of Anxiety Levels Among School Adolescents: An observational cross-sectional study.

There is an inverse association between cardiorespiratory fitness and general anxiety levels in adolescents. Obesity also is associated with a higher risk of anxiety in this population. However, little is known about the association between other health-related fitness elements with anxiety symptoms in this population. The authors explored the relationship between health-related fitness and anxiety symptoms in a large sample of Brazilian youth. This was an observational cross-sectional study with a sample comprised of 257 school adolescents, who were 136 girls (52.9%) and 121 boys (47.1%). The health-related fitness elements were evaluated by FitnessGram® test and anxiety levels by Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children - 39. Hierarchical regression analyses were used to determine the association between health-related fitness elements and anxiety symptoms in both sexes. In male adolescents, only the cardiorespiratory fitness was significantly associated with anxiety symptoms (F(1, 119) = 6.472; P = 0.012; R2 = 0.052; adjusted R2 = 0.044). In turn, the anxiety symptoms showed an inverse small relationship with cardiorespiratory fitness (r = - 0.227; P < 0.01). However, in female adolescents, no association was found between health-related fitness elements and anxiety symptoms. The level of cardiorespiratory fitness may represent a marker of anxiety in male adolescents.

Anxiety and psychological needs of high school students: COVID-19 period.

The study aims to examine the relationship between anxiety and psychological needs of high school students during the COVID‐19 pandemic period. The fact that the COVID‐19 virus poses a threat to mental health as well as physical health, the effects of the pandemic period on the psychological needs and anxiety level of adolescents, especially in a critical developmental stage, and the scarcity of studies concerning adolescent mental health in this period, constituted the purpose of the current study. The quantitative (N = 502) and qualitative data (N = 29) of the study, in which triangulation design was used, were collected from high school students studying in the Southeast of Turkey. In the quantitative part of the research Multiple Linear Regression was implemented and content analysis was used in the qualitative part. The results indicate that love, belonging and power, which are subdimensions of basic psychological needs, are significant predictors of anxiety level. Additionally, it is seen that the need for freedom subdimension is the least predictive variable for the anxiety level. It is concluded that there are moderate negative and significant relationships between the general and subdimensions of basic psychological needs and the level of state anxiety. In this sense, it has been found that the level of anxiety tends to decrease as the level of the satisfaction of basic psychological needs increases. The results in the qualitative analysis part largely overlap with the results in the quantitative part. Suggestions based on the findings of the study are made to researchers.

Screening for anxiety and its determinants among secondary school students during the COVID-19 era: a snapshot from Qatar in 2021

BackgroundAnxiety among adolescents may lead to disability and has a tremendous impact on one’s quality of life. The alarming COVID-19 pandemic is expected to increase the anxiety level of adolescents especially with enforced governmental management strategies. This study will assess anxiety symptoms among secondary school students during the COVID-19 pandemic in Qatar.MethodsWe conducted an analytical cross-sectional study among adolescents attending independent secondary schools in Qatar.

Методология и методы исследования состояния и причин неуспеваемости у современных школьников

In this article, the author reveals research methods for working with underperforming students. We conducted an electronic survey (in connection with the pandemic) of students in urban schools and their parents, and each question was analyzed. As diagnostic methods for studying the state and causes of academic failure in modern schoolchildren, the author used various methods: the method of theoretical analysis of scientific, pedagogical, psychological, managerial and methodological literature on the research problem, the method of empirical research, the diagnostic method, the method of pedagogical experiment (ascertaining, forming, control and their description). The study of the reasons for academic failure was carried out in three stages, which differed both substantively and procedurally. The first stage was devoted to a questionnaire survey of students and parents of students in order to identify their interest and participation in general in the upbringing and academic performance of the child. At the second stage, the students' color world analyzer was used. And the final, third stage, contains the application of tests of school anxiety to diagnose the socio-psychological climate. The purpose of the methodology is to identify the level of anxiety in adolescents, localized in three main planes: educational activity, relationships with peers and significance in the eyes of adults and self-image. After all, adolescence is still an insufficiently mature and insufficiently socially matured person; it is a person who is at a special stage in the formation of its most important features and qualities.

DETERMINATION OF ANXIETY LEVELS IN ADOLESCENTS WITH PSORIASIS

To determine the levels of personal and situational (reactive) anxiety in adolescents with psoriasis, depending on the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of dermatosis as well as the indices of pathology severity, we examined 30 patients aged 13−17 years. The study used Spielberger's method in Yu. Khanin modification depending on sex, age biological periodization, duration of course and exacerbation of psoriasis, the cause of dermatosis and indices of pathology severity in adolescents. The research results revealed a high level of personal anxiety, increasing with age, in most individuals examined. It has been suggested that high levels of personal anxiety in patients with psoriasis as a genetic trait that is prone to excessive anxiety provoke the appearance of psoriasis after a stressful situation. A high level of situational anxiety was detected in only 30.0 % of cases. Girls have a significantly higher level of personal anxiety and a 1.5−fold predominance of situational anxiety over boys. There is also an increase in the level of personal anxiety with a rise in intensity of cutaneous manifestations of psoriasis: the more hyperemia, peeling and infiltration of psoriatic lesions in girls, the stronger the stress and anxiety. Because adolescence, which is intermediate between childhood and adulthood and is characterized by new psychological phenomena (personal self−affirmation, the young person's need to communicate, increase contacts, formation of a new worldview, review and change previously established beliefs, values and norms of life), therefore it is likely that the data obtained during the study on anxiety levels in adolescents with psoriasis are related to the disease specifics and course. Key words: adolescents, psoriasis, situational anxiety, personal anxiety, anxiety levels.
