“…In this study, students who felt hopeless or sad were more likely to consume alcohol than their hopeful and happy counterparts. Similar findings were reported in previous studies [30][31][32][33][34]. Hopelessness is highly relevant condition that could motivate someone to consume alcohol [30].…”

Background Globally, alcohol consumption is a significant public health concern and it is one of the most important risk behaviours among university students. Alcohol consumption can lead to poor academic performance, injuries, fights, use of other substances, and risky sexual behaviours among students. However, the study explored the prevalence of alcohol consumption and the associated risk factors among university students since these have not been fully examined in previous research. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the prevalence of alcohol consumption and the associated risk factors among university students in Myanmar. Methods The present cross-sectional study was conducted using a sample of 15-24-year-old university students who were selected from six universities in Mandalay, Myanmar, in August 2018. In total, 3,456 students (males: 1,301 and females: 2,155) were recruited and asked to respond to a self-administered questionnaire. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for alcohol consumption among university students. Results The prevalence of alcohol consumption in the previous 30 days was 20.3% (males: 36.0%, females: 10.8%). The alcohol consumption was significantly higher among males

“…Similarly, another study conducted in Australia [37] showed that those who consumed alcohol were more likely to develop psychological distress. A study conducted in Norway [38] revealed that depression in adolescents was associated with the onset of alcohol consumption and that alcohol increased the risk of depression. This might be because high levels of alcohol consumption cause negative effects in many aspects of life, and it can also harm the brain, causing depression [39].…”

Depressive symptoms among orphans and vulnerable adolescents in childcare homes in Nepal: a cross-sectional study

et al. 2020

Background Orphans and vulnerable adolescents (OVAs) living in child care homes (CCHs) are vulnerable to depressive symptoms due to a poor environment and a lack of receiving good care and love from their parents. This study aimed to estimate the presence of depressive symptoms and determine factors associated with it among OVAs living in CCHs in Nepal. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect the information from OVAs aged 13–17 years living in 22 CCHs from five districts of Nepal. The CCHs were selected by a simple random method. A validated questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) were used to assess depressive symptoms among the participants. Those with mild to severe BDI-II scores were defined as having clinically relevant depressive symptoms. Logistic regression was used to detect associations between variables at the significance level α = 0.05. Results A total of 602 adolescents participated in the study; 51.0% were females, the average age was 14.7 years, and 32.2% were members of indigenous groups. The overall presence of clinically relevant depressive symptoms was 33.2%. After controlling for all potential confounding factors, five factors were found to be associated with depress among OVAs. Females were 1.96 times more likely to develop depressive symptoms than males (95% CI = 1.36–2.83). Those adolescents who used alcohol were 3.42 times more likely to develop depressive symptoms than those who did not (95% CI = 1.16–10.12). Those who had health problems were 2.00 times more likely to develop depressive symptoms than those who did not (95% CI = 1.36–2.94). Those who had low social support were 1.81 times more likely to develop depressive symptoms than those who had high social support (95% CI = 1.08–3.03), and those who had been bullied were 1.97 times more likely to develop depressive symptoms than those who were not bullied (95% CI = 1.23–3.15). Conclusion The magnitude of clinically relevant depressive symptoms in adolescents living in CCHs was found to be high in Nepal. There is an urgent need for effective intervention to curtail this problem among OVAs in CCHs in Nepal, with a focus on females, alcohol users, those with physical health problems and with less social support, and those who are bullied.

“…vímuefnaneyslan getur orsakað depurð og öfugt. Hvort sem veldur upphaf lega skiptir minna máli en sú staðreynd að þarna á milli getur myndast vítahringur sífellt meiri neyslu og verri líðunar sem hefur mikil áhrif á framtíðarheilsu ( Johannessen, Andersson, Bjorngaard og Pape, 2017). Það er hins vegar ljóst að jafnvel þó vímuefnaneysla hafi tengsl við depurð á meðal íslenskra unglinga, þá getur hún ekki skýrt aukninguna í depurð, því verulega hefur dregið úr henni á síðastliðnum árum (Arnarsson, Kristofersson og Bjarnason, 2018).…”

Sú skoðun að kynslóðin sem nú vex úr grasi sé útsettari fyrir depurð en þær sem á undan hafa komið er útbreidd bæði á meðal almennings og fagaðila. Markmið þessarar rannsóknar var að skoða hvernig algengi daglegrar depurðar íslenskra unglinga breyttist á árunum 2006–2018 og hvaða þættir tengdust daglegri depurð í fyrirlögn árið 2018. Notuð voru gögn úr rannsókninni Heilsa og lífskjör skólabarna (e. Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children - HBSC). Frá árinu 2006 hefur þessi rannsókn verið lögð fyrir í 6., 8. og 10. bekk á Íslandi og í síðustu fyrirlögn veturinn 2017–2018 fengust svör frá 7.159 nemendum. Niðurstöðurnar sýndu að tíðni daglegrar depurðar hafði aukist um þriðjung á tímabilinu, eða úr 5,8% árið 2006 í 7,6% árið 2018. Mjög slæm fjárhagsstaða fjölskyldu og svefnörðugleikar á hverri nóttu 25-földuðu líkurnar á því að unglingar fyndu fyrir depurð á hverjum degi. Að finnast maður vera alltof feitur 13-faldaði líkurnar, tíð áfengisneysla tífaldaði þær og einelti oft í viku nífaldaði þær. Þeir unglingar sem skilgreindu kyn sitt sem „annað“ en strákur eða stelpa, voru átta sinnum líklegri en jafnaldrar þeirra til að finna fyrir depurð daglega. Sama átti við um þá sem reyktu sígarettur eða kannabis reglulega. Fimmföldun á áhættu sást meðal þeirra sem notuðu rafrettur reglulega, áttu slök tengsl við foreldra eða við skóla. Slök vinatengsl þrefölduðu líkurnar. Aðrir þættir sem um það bil tvöfölduðu líkurnar voru annað fæðingarland unglings en Ísland og fæðingarland foreldra hans. Stelpur voru líka tvöfalt líklegri en strákar til að finna fyrir depurð nær daglega. Enn aðrir þættir höfðu veikari fylgni. Þannig voru 10. bekkingar helmingi líklegri en 6. bekkingar til að finna fyrir depurð daglega og óeðlileg skjánotkun jók líkurnar um 60%. Af niðurstöðunum má ráða að tíðni daglegrar depurðar meðal íslenskra unglinga hefur sannarlega aukist. Ýmsir þættir hafa fylgni við depurð unglinga en líklegast er að aukning í svefnörðugleikum skýri mest af þeirri aukningu sem sést.
