- 2019

In: Journal of Pediatric Nursing. - : Elsevier BV. - 0882-5963. ; 45, s. 19-23
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Purpose: To investigate the prevalence of depressive symptoms, pain (headaches and stomachaches), and analgesic consumption in addition to the association between depressive symptoms and analgesic consumption among adolescents. Design and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in southern Sweden. The survey was distributed among students in grade 8 (aged 13–15 years, n = 878). Results: The prevalence of depressive symptoms (Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale ≥16) was 37% among girls and 13% among boys. The prevalence rate of analgesic consumption to ease headaches and/or stomachaches during the last several weeks was 57% among girls and 29% among boys. Depressive symptoms are significantly associated with analgesic consumption among adolescents even after controlling for pain. Conclusion: The knowledge that there is a higher use of analgesics in adolescents with depressive symptoms implies that healthcare professionals should focus on complex psychosocial problems, not only physiological pain, in adolescents. Practice implications: Over the counter analgesics are frequently used by adolescents. Head and stomachaches are common reasons for students to visit the school nurse and primary healthcare facility. School nurses and pediatric nurses have to be aware of the link between depressive symptoms and pain in addition to the higher use of analgesics in adolescents with depressive symptoms. It is important to reduce the cause of the pain in order to prevent depressive symptoms and also analgesic overuse.

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Introduction: Depression is a major cause of morbidity and disability worldwide, and according to the World Health Organization, it is the fourth leading cause of disease burden. Depression is a complex condition that can have disabling effects on an individual’s personal relationships, productivity and general health. A large group of youths are at risk for depression, which is more pervasive than normal teenage mood swings. The worldwide prevalence rate of depression among adolescents is approximately 4–8%. Depressive symptoms have a significant association with how physiological pain is perceived. In Sweden, non-prescribed over-the-counter (OTC) drugs have seen permitted since 2009. Therefore, analgesics like paracetamol and ibuprofen are available from retail shops for all customers, including adolescents. Studies on the use of OTC drugs in Sweden have revealed how Swedish teenagers can be vulnerable as new customers due to gaps in knowledge and misconceptions about OTC drugs.Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of depressive symptoms, physiological pain and the consumption of analgesics, as well as the association between depressive symptoms and the consumption of analgesics among Swedish adolescents between 13 and 15 years old. The hypothesis of this study is that there is a correlation between depressive symptoms and analgesic intake among Swedish adolescents.Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in six municipalities in southern Sweden from 2012 to 2014. All schools with students in grade 8 were asked to participate in the study, and 21 of the 23 eligible schools agreed to participate. Questionnaires were distributed among the students, and consent responses were obtained. Depressive symptoms were measured by the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), scores ≥16.Results: The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 37% among girls and 13% among boys. The prevalence rate of consuming analgesics during the last weeks was 57% among girls and 29% among boys. A multivariate logistic regression showed that depressive symptoms are significantly associated with the consumption of analgesics among teenagers.Conclusion: This paper could contribute to the wider research scope in the global community in terms of how increasing use of OTC analgesics among adolescents might be a sign that the health care system should focus on their complex psychosocial problems. Further research should be done on what to target when supporting adolescents who are struggling with pain and higher consumption of analgesics to educate them about pain-management strategies.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The discrepancy between social and biological clock due to sleep and wake up time difference across weekdays and weekends is referred as social jetlag. The overall aim of this study is to test whether there is an association between both screen time and nighttime texting and social jetlag among 13- to 15-year-old adolescents in Sweden. This study included a cross-sectional survey in which data were collected from all schools with grades 7 and 8 in four municipalities in southern Sweden. The sample consisted of 1518 students (72.7% response rate), among whom 50.7% were girls. Ages varied between 13 and 15 years (mean, 13.9; standard deviation (SD), 0.4). Social jetlag was defined as more than 2 h difference between bedtime and wake-up time on school days compared to weekends. The prevalence of social jetlag among this study population was 53.9%. After adjusting for age, sex, and economic status, the multivariate binary logistic regression analysis results showed that increased screen time (p < 0.001) and texting at night (p = 0.002) were significantly associated with social jetlag. Irregular bedtime and wake-up habits on school days and weekends are associated with nighttime texting and increased screen time. For future research, more focus should be given to identifying causality factors and gain an understanding of the effects of social jetlag, which will help in developing appropriate public health messages and intervention programs.

Social Jetlag, Screen Time and Night-time Texting among Adolescents
- 2019
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Introduction: The frequent uses of electronic media among young people such as computers, television, mobile phones, game consoles are raising the debate that to what extent this might have an adverse effect on health. In the systematic reviewed paper of 67 scientific articles, 90% of them had claimed that screen time is adversely associated with sleep outcomes among adolescents. Recent studies suggest that one in five children and young adolescents have sleep difficulties, and this high prevalence requires public health concern.Purpose: The inconsistency of sleeping time during weekdays and free days impacting on social and biological time is scientifically described as “social jetlag”. The overall aim of this study is whether there is an association of screen time and nighttime texting with social jetlag among adolescents aged 13 to 15 in Sweden.Methods: This study has been conducted using the quantitative data from a larger research project (ISRCTN17006300) performed as a cross-sectional survey collected from all schools with grades 7 and 8 in four municipalities in southern Sweden. The sample consists of 1518 students (72.7% response rate), of which 50.7% were girls. Ages varied between 13 and 15 years (mean = 13.9, SD = 0.4).Results: Social jetlag was defined as more than 2-h difference between bedtime and wake-up time during school days and weekends. The prevalence of social jetlag among this study population was 53.9% (n = 1425, 93.9%). In the multivariate binary logistic regression analysis after adjusting for age, sex, and economic status screen time (p < .001), texting at night (p = .002) was statistically significantly associated with social jetlag.Conclusion: Irregular bedtime and wake-up habits during school days and weekends are associated with night-time texting and increased screen time. For future research, more focus should be given to find the causality and understand the magnitude of this problem while to develop appropriate public health message and intervention programs.
