Abstract
This study aims to investigate the specific effects of the EMDR Flash Technique on adolescents with depression. This follow-up study consists of 32 adolescents, 12-17 years of age (M = 14.34, SD = 1.56), including 7 males and 25 females. They were evaluated with Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children Present, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Children Revised Impact of Event Scale-8 (Crıes-8). These were administered at baseline, at the end of the 4th and 12th weeks of treatment. The EMDR Flash Technique which can be utilized in the preparation phase of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to reduce the intensity of highly distressing memories rapidly and relatively painlessly was applied for 12 weeks, one session per week as a free-standing intervention. Also, the EMDR Flash Technique can be effective in decreasing the rate of noncompliance and drop-outs of adolescents. The baseline means of total BDI scores decreased from 48.19 to 2.16 at the end of the 12th week of treatment. Also, the CRIES scores decreased from 31.78 to 0.44 at the end of the 12th week of treatment. In addition, the baseline means of SUD scores decreased from 9.53 to zero at the end of the 12th week of treatment. Overall, our results underscore the effectiveness of the EMDR-Flash Technique in adolescents with depression.

Celik G, Haney MÖ. The relationship of depressive symptoms with pain and analgesic use in Turkish adolescents. JOURNAL OF CHILD AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHIATRIC NURSING 2024; 37:e12464. [PMID: 38591776 DOI: 10.1111/jcap.12464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 02/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024]
Abstract
PROBLEM This study aimed to determine the prevalence of depressive symptoms, pain (headache, abdominal pain, back pain) and analgesic use among Turkish adolescents. Additionally, it aimed to examine the association between depressive symptoms and pain and analgesic use in adolescents. METHODS This cross-sectional, correlational study was conducted in Izmir, Turkey with 954 adolescents aged 11-19 years. Data were collected with the "socio-demographic questionnaires" and the "Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale for Children". Analyzes were performed using descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regression analysis. FINDINGS Of the adolescents, 632 (66.2%) showed depressive symptoms. Of the adolescents, 424 (44.4%) experienced headache, 256 (26.8%) experienced abdominal pain, and 343 (36.0%) experienced back pain. A total of 309 (32.4%) adolescents used analgesics for headaches, 132 (13.8%) abdominal pain, and 47 (4.9%) for back pain. Female gender, high level maternal education, bad economic status, poor health perception, bad school success, pain and analgesic use were the correlated variables with adolescent depression. CONCLUSIONS The depressive symptoms, headache and back pain, and use of analgesics especially for headaches were common among adolescents. The results showed depression in adolescent correlated with pain (headache, abdominal pain, and back pain) and analgesic use. Regular screening is needed to assure early intervention of depression among adolescents.

Minhajuddin A, Jha MK, Slater H, Mayes TL, Storch EA, Shotwell J, Soutullo C, Wakefield SM, Trivedi MH. Data-driven subgrouping of youths with depression reveals that resilience is associated with higher physical functioning despite high symptom burden in the Texas Youth Depression and Suicide Research Network (TX-YDSRN). J Affect Disord 2024; 348:353-361. [PMID: 38110157 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2023.12.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measure, which assesses past week status of seven domains (physical function mobility, anxiety, depressive symptoms, fatigue, peer relationships, pain interference, and pain intensity), represents a new paradigm using patient-reported outcomes. We used a data-driven approach with PROMIS to identify subgroups of youths receiving depression treatment. METHODS Youths (n = 721) enrolled in the Texas Youth Depression and Suicide Research Network who completed the PROMIS were analyzed. Latent class analyses (LCAs) identified subgroups and compared their baseline clinical/sociodemographic features. RESULTS Compared to population norms, our sample had worse than average physical function, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and pain interference. Using LCA, four subgroups were identified: 1) lower symptom severity and higher physical functioning (14.6 %); 2) higher symptom burden, higher pain interference/intensity, and lower physical functioning (52.7 %); 3) higher symptom burden, higher pain interference/intensity, but with higher physical functioning (9.2 %); and 4) higher symptom burden, but lower physical functioning and pain interference/intensity (23.6 %). Group 3 demonstrated higher resilience than Group 2. In contrast, Group 2 had higher anxiety than Group 4. LIMITATIONS Individuals may have different symptom profiles due to the observational nature of the study. Replication of these subgroups may be difficult, as future samples may differ in these characteristics. Further work may demonstrate the stability of these groups. CONCLUSIONS A data-driven analysis identified a small but significant subgroup with high physical functioning despite high symptom burden and pain, and this group reported higher resilience. Resilience-enhancing interventions may help improve functional outcomes in depressed youth.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to describe experiences of pain among students at upper secondary schools (adolescents aged 16-19 years) in Sweden. Focus group (n = 9) interviews with 41 adolescents were conducted in southern Sweden in 2021. The interviews were analyzed by qualitative content analysis, which identified four categories encompassing the theme how pain expressed itself: (1) a warning bell-the body's way of saying that something is wrong; (2) school- and work-related pain; (3) interpersonal physical and emotional pain; and (4) heartache-a sign of humanity; and four categories describing the theme ways of dealing with pain: (1) turn your attention elsewhere; (2) "bite the bullet" and endure the pain; and (3) use painkillers or complementary treatments; and (4) ask for help from others. Findings are linked to the crucial role of school nurses in supporting students who experience pain.

Abstract
Household air pollution (HAP) is suggested to increases people's risk of disability, but mediating mechanisms between HAP and disability remains under-investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the underlying mechanisms between household air pollution and disability in middle-aged and older adults (i.e., older than 45 years) using a nationally representative prospective cohort. In total, 3754 middle-aged and older adults were selected from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Correlation analysis and logistic regression analysis were employed to estimate the association between HAP, pain, depression and disability. Finally, three significant mediation pathways through which HAP directly impacts disability were found: (1) pain (B = 0.09, 95% CI 0.01, 0.02), accounting for 15.25% of the total effect; (2) depression (B = 0.07, 95% CI 0.004, 0.02), accounting for 11.86% of the total effect; (3) pain and depression (B = 0.04, 95% CI 0.003, 0.01), accounting for 6.78% of the total effect. The total mediating effect was 33.89%. This study clarified that HAP can indirectly affect disability through the respective and serial mediating roles of pain and depression. These findings potentially have important implications for national strategies concerning the widespread use of clean fuels by citizens.

Abstract
AIMS Pain and depressive symptoms are prevalent in adolescents. Data on the association between pain and depressive symptoms in the general adolescent population are limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prospective associations of headache, stomachache, and other nonspecific pain with depressive symptoms in a large sample of Chinese adolescents. METHODS A total of 7072 adolescents who participated in the baseline survey and were followed up 1 year later were included in the prospective analysis. Participants completed a self-administered questionnaire to assess three types of pain (headache, stomachache, and other nonspecific pain) and demographics. Depressive symptoms were assessed by the Center for Epidemiology Studies Depression Scale. Logistic regression models were conducted to evaluate the associations between pain and depressive symptoms. RESULTS The prevalence and incidence rates of depressive symptoms significantly increased with elevated pain frequencies. After adjusting for insomnia symptoms and other adolescent and family covariates, frequent headache (OR=2.39, 95% CI =1.37-4.16) and other nonspecific pain (sometimes pain: OR=1.57, 95% CI =1.14-2.15; frequent pain: OR=2.78, 95% CI =1.33-5.82) were significantly associated with increased risk of depressive symptoms 1 year later. Study limitation: Pain and depressive symptoms were self-reports. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that frequent pain is associated with subsequent depressive symptoms. Further research is needed to determine the causal relationship between pain and depressive symptoms in adolescents.

Abstract
Introduction An increased number of adolescents experience mental health problems. School nurses
have described spending more than 50% of their time working with mental health in
students. The lack of knowledge and necessary training to meet students’ mental health
needs has been described previously. School nurses have a responsibility to find and
guide those who need help with mental health problems. Objectives The aim of this study was, therefore, to explore school nurses’ experiences with mental
health and how they in this work identify, talk, and intervene with adolescents having
mental health problems. Methods A qualitative study was conducted with 21 school nurses using focus group interviews
which were analyzed by means of content analysis. Results Three descriptive categories emerged: Health-promoting or preventive approaches,
Enabling students to talk about feelings, and Collaborating partners. Conclusion School nurses highlight their mandate to work with health promotion and prevention but
also draw attention to their difficulties in identifying those who need help. School
nurses use their creativity, intuition, and knowledge but have difficulty identifying
those students who need help with mental health problems. They also highlight
collaboration with other professionals both in schools and in the health system.

Over-the-counter analgesics use is associated with pain and psychological distress among adolescents: a mixed effects approach in cross-sectional survey data from Norway. BMC Public Health 2021; 21:2030.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Over-the-counter analgesics (OTCA) such as Paracetamol and Ibuprofen are frequently used by adolescents, and the route of administration and access at home allows unsupervised use. Psychological distress and pain occur simultaneously and are more common among females than among males. There is a dynamic interplay between on-label pain indications and psychological distress, and frequent OTCA use or misuse can exacerbate symptoms. No studies have to date provided an overview of frequent OTCA use in a larger population-based study. The current study used survey data to explore associations between and the relative predictive value of on-label pain indication and measures of psychological distress, together with sex differences for weekly OTCA use. METHODS This study included 349,528 adolescents aged 13-19. The data was collected annually between January 2014 and December 2018 as part of the Norwegian Young Data survey. Performance analysis was conducted to explore the relative roles and associations between on-label pain indication and psychological distress in weekly OTCA use. A mixed-effects logistic regression model was used to explore the unique contributions from four domains of on-label pain indication and psychological distress as measured by a combined measure of anxiety and depression (HSCL-10) and peer-bullying involvement as victims or bullies. RESULTS Thirty percent of females and 13 % of males use OTCA weekly. Headache is the strongest on-label pain predictor of weekly OTCA use, followed by abdominal pain. Depression and anxiety are the strongest psychological predictor of weekly OTCA use, and higher symptom levels and being female increase the strength of this association. Anxiety and depression also predict weekly OTCA use after controlling for physiological pain. CONCLUSIONS Sex, pain and anxiety and depression are inter-correlated and strong predictors of frequent OTCA use. Frequent OTCA use in the context of psychological distress may be a form of self-medication that can exacerbate symptoms and decrease psychosocial function. Longitudinal studies that explore causal trajectories between frequent on-label OTCA use and psychological distress are required. OTCA use among adolescents, and particularly among females, with anxiety and depression should be administered with caution and closely monitored.

Abstract
Background Pain is a global health issue with a significant impact on young adults. Adverse effects caused by inappropriate pain management among university students are related to poor mental/physical health. This study aimed to explore pain prevalence, management, and interference among university students in South Korea. Methods Pain intensity, painful body areas, pain management, and pain interference were measured in a convenience sample of 404 students. Descriptive statistics are reported, and a multivariable binomial logistic regression was conducted to reveal factors associated with pain interference. Results The prevalence of acute and chronic pain was 73.5%, while 7.8% reported chronic pain (≥ 3 months). Half of university students who experienced pain reported at least four painful body areas. The average pain intensity during the past 6 months was 4.8/10. About 56% of university students who experienced pain used over-the-counter pain pills for pain management. Rest and massage were the most used non-pharmacological pain management strategies. Mood was the most reported pain interference complaint amongst university students. Greater pain interference was associated with longer pain duration, more painful body areas, and greater pain intensity. Discussion Pain is highly prevalent among South Korean university students. Pain management programs, including education about appropriate methods of pain relief, should be developed for university students. Attention should be given to university students with widespread acute and chronic pain of high intensity to mitigate the negative impacts caused by pain interference.

Abstract
Health complaints are increasing among adolescents and are recognized as a global public health issue. Health complaints are an indicator for subjective ill-being, but little is known about the relationship between sadness and other health complaints. The aim of this study was to investigate sadness and other health complaints among Swedish adolescents. A survey with a cross-sectional design was completed by adolescents (n = 1489, 15-17 years old) in the south of Sweden. A logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between sadness and other health complaints. The result show that sadness and other health complaints were common among adolescents, and sadness was related to health complaints (headache (OR: 1.58), sleeping difficulties (OR: 2.00), reduced appetite (OR: 1.43), tension (OR: 2.44), and concentration difficulties (OR: 2.75)). When adolescents express sadness or other health complaints it is important to reflect on what these complaints are an expression of, and take into account the body as physical and psychological intertwined. This might entail person-centered support that hopefully leads to an improvement in adolescents' well-being. Future research that profoundly highlights adolescents' existential health is needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs) affect many children worldwide, predominantly girls, and cause considerable long-term negative consequences for individuals and society. Evidence-based and cost-effective treatments are therefore strongly needed. Physical activity has shown promising effects in the practical management of FAPDs. Dance and yoga are both popular activities that have been shown to provide significant psychological and pain-related benefits with minimal risk. The activities complement each other, in that dance involves dynamic, rhythmic physical activity, while yoga enhances relaxation and focus. OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the effects of a dance and yoga intervention among girls aged 9 to 13 years with FAPDs. METHODS The study is a prospective randomized controlled trial among girls aged 9 to 13 years with functional abdominal pain, irritable bowel syndrome, or both. The target sample size was 150 girls randomized into 2 arms: an intervention arm that receives dance and yoga sessions twice weekly for 8 months and a control arm that receives standard care. Outcomes will be measured at baseline and after 4, 8, 12, and 24 months, and long-term follow-up will be conducted 5 years from baseline. Questionnaires, interviews, and biomarker measures, such as cortisol in saliva and fecal microbiota, will be used. The primary outcome is the proportion of girls in each group with reduced pain, as measured by the faces pain scale-revised in a pain diary, immediately after the intervention. Secondary outcomes are gastrointestinal symptoms, general health, mental health, stress, and physical activity. The study also includes qualitative evaluations and health economic analyses. This study was approved by the Regional Ethical Review Board in Uppsala (No. 2016/082 1-2). RESULTS Data collection began in October 2016. The intervention has been performed in 3 periods from 2016 through 2019. The final 5-year follow-up is anticipated to be completed by fall 2023. CONCLUSIONS Cost-effective and easily accessible interventions are warranted to reduce the negative consequences arising from FAPDs in young girls. Physical activity is an effective strategy, but intervention studies are needed to better understand what types of activities facilitate regular participation in this target group. The Just in TIME (Try, Identify, Move, and Enjoy) study will provide insights regarding the effectiveness of dance and yoga and is anticipated to contribute to the challenging work of reducing the burden of FAPDs for young girls.

Abstract
Objective To investigate whether a dance intervention for adolescent girls reduces stress-related symptoms. Methods This was a randomized controlled trial of an after-school intervention. Participants were 112 girls aged 13 to 18 years with stress-related somatic symptoms and emotional distress. The intervention comprised twice-weekly dance sessions for 8 months with a focus on enjoyment and socialization. A questionnaire was administered at baseline and after 8, 12 and 20 months. Participants rated the frequency with which they had experienced somatic symptoms and emotional distress during the previous 3 months. Results After the intervention, there was a significantly greater reduction in somatic symptoms and emotional distress in the dance intervention group than in the control group. The difference in the mean score change on a 5-point scale was 0.26 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.04 to 0.47) for somatic symptoms and 0.30 (95% CI: 0.04 to 0.58) for emotional distress. Conclusion Dance interventions may reduce somatic symptoms and emotional distress in adolescent girls, and may constitute a nonpharmacological complement to school health services. However, continued participation is needed for long-term sustainable results. Additional randomized studies are required to further evaluate the effect of this type of intervention in different settings. This study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov. Study name: ‘Influencing Adolescent Girls With Creative Dance Twice Weekly’. URL: http: //clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/study/NCT01523561. Trial registration number: NCT01523561.

Abstract
Bullying is defined as repeated and unwanted aggressive behavior involving a
power imbalance and hurt children and adolescents’ socioemotional functioning.
The aim is to investigate associations between pain (headache, stomach pain,
backache, and neck/shoulder pain) and bullying among school-aged children and
adolescents. This cross-sectional school-based survey comes from the Icelandic
data set in the international research network Health Behaviour in School-Aged
Children. The study population included all Icelandic students in Grades 6, 8,
and 10 (ages 11, 13, and 15 years, respectively; participation rate, 84%;
n = 10,626). An anonymous standardized questionnaire was
distributed and completed by students in their classrooms. About every 8 in 10
bullied students reported weekly pain (79%), compared with little over half of
nonbullied students (57%). The prevalence of pain was significantly higher among
bullied students compared with their nonbullied peers. Being a bullying victim
was associated with an increased frequency of experiencing headaches,
stomachaches, and back pain, in addition to neck or shoulder pain. It is
important for mental health nurses and health professionals to ask about pain
when meeting with children and adolescents as well as to inquire about their
peer relationships.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to examine whether the self-reported use of analgesics is associated with being a victim of bullying. METHODS This cross-sectional, school-based survey included all students in grades 6 (11 years old), 8 (13 years old) and 10 (15 years old) in Iceland (response rate: 84%; n = 11 018). The students filled out an anonymous standardised questionnaire: the Icelandic Contribution to the International Health Behavior in School-Aged Children (HBSC) Study. RESULTS Being bullied was associated with increased use of analgesics even after controlling for self-reported pain. CONCLUSION Bullying occurs in all schools, and its effects on health are pervasive. Interventions aimed at reducing bullying and promoting health in schools are important and may reduce the use of analgesics in adolescents.
