“…Childhood depression is an increasingly recognized public health problem, which is highly prevalent in mental health care, with rates of 8–10 per cent (Allgaier et al, 2014). Childhood depression not only impacts growth and development, school performance, psychosocial functioning and other psychiatric disorders development in later life but also represents a significant social and economic cost to society (Bhatia and Bhatia, 2007; Copeland et al, 2013; Greenberg et al, 2003; Maughan et al, 2013).…”

This prospective study examined the longitudinal effects of psychological resilience on depression in a Chinese sample of left-behind children. A total of 386 left-behind children completed both a baseline and a 1-year follow-up survey. The prevalence of depression at the baseline and 1-year follow-up was 12.7 and 8.5 per cent, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that older age and baseline depressive symptoms were positively associated with follow-up depression, while psychological resilience and quality of life were negatively related to follow-up depression. Our findings provided preliminary evidence that higher psychological resilience was a significantly protective factor of developing depression among left-behind children.

“…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).…”

The aims of this study are to determine the prevalence of depression among children, and scrutinize the teacher-student relationship as predictor factor to depressive symptoms according to the children's perception. 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.

“…Depressive symptoms are measured with the Children's Depression Screener (ChilD-S). The ChilD-S is an 8-question validated screening instrument for depressive symptoms designed for children aged 9 to 12 years [95,96]. The recommended cutoff for depression is ≥13 when the child is investigated in psychiatric or psychosomatic care, according to the Swedish translation of the ChilD-S.…”

Background Functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs) affect many children worldwide, predominantly girls, and cause considerable long-term negative consequences for individuals and society. Evidence-based and cost-effective treatments are therefore strongly needed. Physical activity has shown promising effects in the practical management of FAPDs. Dance and yoga are both popular activities that have been shown to provide significant psychological and pain-related benefits with minimal risk. The activities complement each other, in that dance involves dynamic, rhythmic physical activity, while yoga enhances relaxation and focus. Objective This study aims to evaluate the effects of a dance and yoga intervention among girls aged 9 to 13 years with FAPDs. Methods The study is a prospective randomized controlled trial among girls aged 9 to 13 years with functional abdominal pain, irritable bowel syndrome, or both. The target sample size was 150 girls randomized into 2 arms: an intervention arm that receives dance and yoga sessions twice weekly for 8 months and a control arm that receives standard care. Outcomes will be measured at baseline and after 4, 8, 12, and 24 months, and long-term follow-up will be conducted 5 years from baseline. Questionnaires, interviews, and biomarker measures, such as cortisol in saliva and fecal microbiota, will be used. The primary outcome is the proportion of girls in each group with reduced pain, as measured by the faces pain scale-revised in a pain diary, immediately after the intervention. Secondary outcomes are gastrointestinal symptoms, general health, mental health, stress, and physical activity. The study also includes qualitative evaluations and health economic analyses. This study was approved by the Regional Ethical Review Board in Uppsala (No. 2016/082 1-2). Results Data collection began in October 2016. The intervention has been performed in 3 periods from 2016 through 2019. The final 5-year follow-up is anticipated to be completed by fall 2023. Conclusions Cost-effective and easily accessible interventions are warranted to reduce the negative consequences arising from FAPDs in young girls. Physical activity is an effective strategy, but intervention studies are needed to better understand what types of activities facilitate regular participation in this target group. The Just in TIME (Try, Identify, Move, and Enjoy) study will provide insights regarding the effectiveness of dance and yoga and is anticipated to contribute to the challenging work of reducing the burden of FAPDs for young girls.
