“…Já em estudos americanos, a prevalência entre crianças e adolescentes varia de 3% a 5% 42 . Em um estudo alemão, Mehler-Wex e Kolch 43 identificaram uma prevalência de depressão em crianças e adolescentes de 8,9%. Essas diferenças podem ser em decorrência de vários fatores como diferentes instrumentos diagnósticos utilizados, local do estudo (em residências ou escolas), população estudada (amostra ou população total).…”

Les troubles de stress et d'anxiété chez des élèves adolescents en JordanieRÉSUMÉ Les troubles mentaux chez les adolescents ont des impacts négatifs sur des aspects concernant la santé et la vie quotidienne, mais les données relatives à leur prévalence manquent en Jordanie. La présente étude avait pour objectif d'estimer la prévalence des troubles de stress et d'anxiété et d'enquêter sur leur association avec le sexe et d'autres facteurs socio-démographiques chez des élèves adolescents. Une conception transversale descriptive à été utilisée dans cette étude. Un échantillon composé de 1103 élèves adolescents ayant terminé les deux premières sections du questionnaire de santé du patient pour les adolescents a été recruté dans des écoles. La prévalence des troubles mentaux était de 28,6 %. La prévalence des troubles de stress et d'anxiété était respectivement de 22,4 % et 16,3 %. Des associations significatives ont été trouvées entre les troubles mentaux et le sexe, l'âge, le fait d'habiter avec ses parents ou l'état de santé mentale des parents. D'autres études doivent être réalisées en Jordanie pour comprendre la nature et les facteurs de risque des troubles mentaux chez les adolescents. Des programmes de dépistage, de promotion et prévention dans le domaine de la santé mentale en milieu scolaire et communautaire sont recommandés pour prévenir et réduire la prévalence des troubles mentaux chez les adolescents. ABSTRACT Mental disorders in adolescents have negative impacts on aspects of health and life that can be reduced by early detection and referral. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders and to investigate their association with gender and other socio-demographic factors among adolescent students. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used in this study. A sample of 1103 adolescent students was recruited from schools who completed the first two sections of Patient Health Questionnaire for Adolescents (PHQ-A). The prevalence of any mental disorders was 28.6%. The prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders was 22.4% and 16.3%, respectively. Significant associations were found between mental disorders and gender, age, living status with parents, or mental health status of parents. Further studies are needed to be conducted in Jordan in order to understand the nature and risk factors of mental disorders among adolescents. School and community-based mental health screening, promotion and prevention programmes are recommended to prevent and reduce the prevalence of mental disorders among adolescents. ‫األردن‬ ‫يف‬ ‫املراهقني‬ ‫األطفال‬ ‫صفوف‬ ‫يف‬ ‫بالقلق‬ ‫املرتبطة‬ ‫واالضطرابات‬ ‫املزاجية‬ ‫االضطرابات‬

“…In addition, studies reflect a strong relationship between the age of child and the appearance of depressive symptoms, but it could be difficult to notice and correctly diagnose, due to the various clinical impressions of depression (Allgaier et al, 2014). To put it differently, an infant, may represent somatic symptoms such as loss of appetite or sleep problems as sadness, a pre-schooler might well show irritability or separation anxiety or an adolescence could reveal similar depressive symptoms alike with adults (Mehler-Wex and Kölch, 2008;Williams et al, 2005). In school-aged children, externalizing behaviors including irritability, low frustration tolerance and temper tantrums may easily be manifested as symptoms of depression (Birmaher and Brent, 2007).…”

The Jordanian translation of Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) was used in this study. The study was carried out among children in private and state schools within the age range of (7-13) in Amman city. The sample on which the study tools were applied consisted of 705 children. The results of this study indicate that the prevalence of moderate depression was the lowest (3.8%) at the age of 8 and the highest (5.8%) at the age of 11. The prevalence of severe depression was lowest (2.3%) at the age of 9 and highest (6.8%) at the age of 13. The results also show that there is no single cause of depression and it is difficult to separate the different causes. All the children with severe depression discuss how the teacher-student relationship as predictor factors to depressive symptoms. From the analysis of the results, specific reasons to teacher-student relationships that cause depressive symptoms are categorised into two basic factors these are: The teacher-student interaction, and peer influence.
