Based on Rome Foundation Global Epidemiology Survey, aim this study was conduct most comprehensive psychometric evaluation PROMIS (8‐item and revised 4‐item) across non‐gastrointestinal condition Methods A cross‐sectional survey conducted 26 countries. series confirmatory factor reliability analyses were undertaken groups, that is, Disorders Gut‐Brain Interaction (DGBI) [any DGBI, DGBI anatomic region], gastroesophageal reflux disease, chronic constipation, diarrhea, coeliac diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel cancer anywhere tract, peptic ulcer a group. Convergent validity also assessed via Pearson's correlation coefficients with PHQ‐4 (anxiety depression) PHQ‐12 (somatization). Results 54,040 participants (50.9% male; mean age 44.33 years) analysis indicated poor fit for original Hays et al. 4‐item version scale. The briefer 2‐factor 2‐item model (the alternate model) yielded acceptable all groups. subscales demonstrated strong convergent, content, construct scale groups regions anxiety, depression, somatization. Conclusions & Inferences demonstrates stronger properties compared model. This ultra‐brief assessment instrument is viable tool assessing life

However, few qualitative studies have been conducted. The present study therefore aimed investigate parental negative effects during pandemic in large sample an adolescent and/or matched comparison group (n = 682). Data collected through open-ended questions part larger survey study. Five main themes, different sub-themes identified both effects: 1) Teaching, 2) Social, 3) Support, 4) Child factors, 5) Home environment. In addiction, themes “Technical problems” Families ADHD/ASD reported “Child factors” “Support” frequently controls, well aspects “Teaching” problems”. Regarding effects, significant differences primarily found theme factors”. These findings are discussed botn terms how best prepare possible future pandemics, provide educational support when schools open.

Our study aimed to investigate use among adolescents its relationships with wellness, mental health. Results: This 1412 adolescents, mean age 14.41 ± 1.20, sample composed 52.3% boys. Boys indicated they felt healthier happier than girls (69.4% vs. 47.4%; 51.4% 29.6%), p < 0.001. A total 20.8% had IAT scores reflect normal level usage. For IAT, average score statistically significantly higher boys (41.87 12.24 39.96 12.37), group who less happy healthy, more frequent headaches or abdominal pain, problems sleep, significant, positive weak correlation found students’ SDQ internalizing externalizing (r = 0.366; r 0.385, 0.001). Conclusions: is arising as serious problem adolescents. Negative feelings, unhappiness, poor emotion regulation an association addiction. Also, female gender may be associated possible results this can serve initial steps toward developing preventive interventions.

However, current development evaluation practices AI in limit meaningfulness their contexts thereby, practical usefulness such professionals clients alike. To move towards meaningful eMental health, this article demonstrates an monitoring tool that detects need more intensive care online grief intervention older mourners. We take a three-fold approach (1) using F1-metric to evaluate tool’s capacity classify user parameters, including affect, as (a) support, or (b) recommendable continue is; (2) linear regression assess predictive value users’ parameters clinical changes grief, depression, loneliness over course 10-week intervention. Finally, (3) we collect qualitative experience data from eCoaches (N=4) who incorporated weekly e-mail guidance during Based on N=174 binary recommendation decisions, F1-score was 0.91. Due minimal variation depression scores after compared before intervention, only one conducted with difference score dependent variable participants’ mean assessment tool, estimate slope growth curves fitted each participant’s response pattern predictors. Only exhibited observed change (R2 =1.19, SE 0.33, t(df) = 3.58(16), P=.002).

Abstract Associations of adolescents' smartphone use and well‐being have been contradictory. The present study investigates patterns psychosocial risk / protective factors in US adolescents during COVID‐19 examines their associations with depression symptom trajectories from 5 yearly waves beginning prior to the pandemic. Latent profile analyses revealed three profiles, including a high (18.9% adolescents) characterized by elevated social media use, levels risk, low variables. growth mixture modeling identified trajectories; stable low, moderate‐increasing, high‐severely increasing depression. Both moderate‐increasing were associated membership profile. Results highlight impacts type activity rather than per se can inform targeted intervention strategies.
