“… 3 If adolescents face more burden and stress in the long term, it will lead to numerous problems such as learning burnout. 4 Learning burnout has been shown to be a risk factor for depression, school dropout and self-harm. 5 Another important problem resulting from the “double reduction” policy was that, under the condition of relatively reduced learning time, some students were addicted to watching short videos, playing games, chatting and other recreational activities on smart phones which occupy most of their leisure time.…”

Purpose This paper investigated the prevalence of mobile phone dependence (MPD) and its associated with learning burnout under the “double reduction” policy among adolescents in Guizhou Province in western China. In addition, the influence of the mediating mechanism of social support on this relationship was investigated. Methods The sample was collected from 16,216 adolescents in West China’s Guizhou province, from December 2021 to January 2022 via multistage stratified random sampling. The Self-rating Questionnaire for Adolescent Problematic Mobile Phone Use (SQAPMPU) was used to assess the MPD, the Adolescent Student Burnout Scale (ASBI) was used to assess the learning burnout, and the Social Support Scale (SSS) was used to assess the social support. A hierarchical linear regression model was used to analyze the relationship between MPD, learning burnout, and social support. The mediating effect of social support between MPD and learning burnout was analyzed by structural equation model. Results Prevalence of MPD was 26.4% among adolescents in Guizhou province in western China. After adjusting for confounding variables like demographics, multiple linear regression model has revealed that learning burnout positively predicted MPD and social support negatively predicted MPD. The structural equation model showed that 10.9% of the effect was explained by the mediating effect of social support. Conclusion These findings could inform service delivery and policy formulation to reduce learning and avoid MPD in adolescents.

“…A study in the UK reported that depression predicted a decline in examination performance [ 40 ]. Moreover, studies aimed at undergraduate students supports that academic stress is an impediment to academic performance, [ 41 – 43 ] although there were few study focused on the association between academic stress with academic performance in adolescents. A moderate level of academic stress helps to increase academic self-efficacy and obtain better educational outcomes [ 42 ].…”

“…A moderate level of academic stress helps to increase academic self-efficacy and obtain better educational outcomes [ 42 ]. However, once students experienced high stress levels beyond their load-bearing potential, it could result in school burnout and worse performance [ 43 ]. Regarding externalizing behaviors (physical fight and bullying), several studies are consistent with our findings.…”

Adolescence is a susceptible period to establish health-risk behaviors, which may have an impact on academic performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between health-risk behaviors (HRBs) and perceived academic performance (PAP) of adolescents in Shanghai, China. The data of the present study included three-round Shanghai Youth Health-risk Behavior Survey (SYHBS). This cross-sectional survey investigated multiple HRBs of students involved in dietary behaviors, physical activity and sedentary behaviors, intentional and unintentional injury behaviors, and substance abuse behaviors, as well as PAP by using self-reported questionnaire. Using a multistage random sampling method, 40,593 middle and high school students aged 12 to 18 years were involved. Only participants with complete data on HRBs information, academic performance and covariates were included. A total of 35,740 participants were involved in analysis. We used ordinal logistic regression to analyze the association between each HRB and PAP adjusting for sociodemographic, family environment and duration of extracurricular study. The results showed that students who did not eat breakfast or drink milk everyday were more likely to have a lower PAP, with a decreased odds of 0.89 (95%CI: 0.86–0.93, P<0.001) and 0.82 (95%CI: 0.79–0.85, P<0.001), respectively. The similar association was also found in students who did exercise ≥60 minutes for less than 5 days/week, spend time on watch TV beyond 3 hours/day and other sedentary behaviors. Most intentional and unintentional injuries, and ever smoked were associated with a lower PAP. Our finding suggests that multiple HRBs negatively associated with PAP of adolescents. It needs to raise public health concerns with HRBs in adolescents, and to develop and implement comprehensive interventions on HRBs.

“…Li et al discovered that a considerable percentage of returned migrant children had declining attitudes toward learning, more learning pressure, and worse academic and mental health performance than non-returned migrant children in a study of 17,924 4th to 5th-grade students in China [12]. Longterm academic issues, such as academic stress, anxiety, and subpar performance, cause LB in students, as demonstrated by a study conducted by Xu et al on 1,130 undergraduate students in a southern Chinese city [21]. The conservation theory and the loss spiral effect of the resource conservation model state that people will deplete resources when they are trying to cope with stress.…”

Objective: The objectives of this study were to explore emotional behavioral problems (EBP) associated with learning burnout (LB) among returned migrant middle school students. In addition, the mediating mechanism of internet addiction (IA) and social support (SS) in this relationship was investigated. We also verified the chain-mediating effect of IA and SS on the EBP of returned migrant middle school students and LB. Methods: This study used the sample data collected from the "Health Status Survey of Middle School Students in Guizhou Province, China" conducted by the research group. The baseline survey of 36 secondary schools from December 2021 to January 2022 in Guizhou Provine, China. Based on this sample data, middle school students who met the following conditions were selected as study subjects. 2020 returned migrant secondary school students were finally obtained as the subjects of this study. The Strength and Difficulty Questionnaire (SDQ), Adolescent Student Burnout Scale (ASBI), Internet Addiction Test (IAT), and Social Support Scale (SSS) were used to assess EBP, LB, IA, and SS among returned migrant secondary school students. Serial multiple mediation analysis and the bootstrap method were used to investigate the mediation effects of IA and SS (PROCESS model 6). Results: Prevalence of EBP was classified in the abnormal (11.9%) or borderline (17.1%) categories based on the total difficulties scores among returned migrant middle school students. A serial multiple mediation model was generated. The mediation effect of IA and SS on the pathway from LB to EBP was 32.03% (direct effect=0.243, total indirect effect=0.115). The association between LB and SS was partially mediated by IA (direct effect=-0.117, indirect effect=-0.635). The proposed model fits the data well. Conclusion: This study found that lower IA and higher SS can effectively reduce EBP caused by LB among returned migrant middle school students. It is suggested that parents, schools, and government departments pay attention to IA and SS problems caused by LB in returned migrant middle school students, and prevent and avoid EBP. Returned migrant middle school students should take the initiative to identify the factors that harm their physical and mental health for self-regulation, and establish reliable SS, rather than meet psychological needs through IA, to reduce the occurrence of EBP.
