“…The interviews were performed during the first or second year in lodgings, and the adolescents needed time to adapt to the new situation. However, moving into lodgings opens a rapidly growing independence from parents, and the notions of being independent and responsible are expressed as very satisfactory by the lodgers (Wannebo et al, 2017), making the lodgers aware of their own development and abilities to manage on their own. Thus, as feelings of home are established, the well-being capacity of movement and development might be more important later on during the adolescents’ life in lodgings.…”

“…However, studies among older adolescents, aged 19–20 years when leaving home to go college or university, show that students in lodgings struggle with homesickness, loneliness, depression and/or anxiety (Bayram & Bilgel, 2008; Blanco et al, 2008; Cleary, Walter, & Jackson, 2011; Stroebe, van Vliet, Hewstone, & Willis, 2002). A Norwegian study, exploring the meaning of living in lodgings during senior high school, illuminated a multidimensional transition among the lodgers, suggesting that they strive between contrasting experiences related to time, social life, independence development and self (Wannebo, Devik, & Uhrenfeldt, 2017). Hence, adolescents at the age of 15–18 living in lodgings may experience vulnerability regarding their own well-being and health throughout senior high school.…”

Many 15- to 16-year-old adolescents in Scandinavian countries have to move away from home to live in lodgings during senior high school. This transition might affect the adolescents’ well-being and mental health, with the risk of dropping out of school and/or potential mental health problems. This study aims to explore what adolescents experience to be of importance and helpful for their well-being through their lives in lodgings during senior high school. Qualitative, in-depth interviews were performed among 21 adolescents from the ages of 16 to 18 of both genders living in lodgings in a Norwegian county. Eleven interviews were performed in 2008 and 10 interviews performed in 2016. Interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Two main categories and six subcategories were identified as important for well-being: (1) Conditions for well-being, me and my surroundings: (a) practical support; (b) relational support; (c) convenient housing; and (d) supportive class environment. (2) Strategies for well-being, me and myself: (a) practical strategies, and (b) strategies facing challenges. Adolescents living in lodgings experience several conditions in their surroundings to be of importance for their well-being, based on which they develop their own strategies to feel well. Implications towards promoting and strengthen their well-being are discussed.

“…1 The first year of senior high school is not only a critical period for the transition of students’ physical and mental development, but also a vulnerable stage for the construction of new identity. 7 In this period, students’ bodily functions change rapidly, their personalities are publicized, and their thoughts are unrestrained. In China, to facilitate management, most high schools implement additional accommodation policies.…”

Purpose: To compare the quality of life of senior first-year students with normal vision and myopia, and to explore the risk factors related to quality of life in students with myopia. Methods: In this study, 1103 senior first-year students were enrolled in ten high schools. These students were divided according to the diopter degree, with 916 myopia students and 187 normal vision students. Visual function indexes, such as naked eye vision, were measured and recorded, and social demographic indexes and the National Eye Institute 25-Item Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ-25) was used. The differences in quality of life between the two groups were compared. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the possible risk factors for quality of life in myopia students. Results: In the NEI VFQ-25, the total quality of life scores of myopia students (77.06 ± 15.66) were lower than those of normal vision students (85.49 ± 12.37). The difference was statistically significant ( p = 0.007). In the correlation analysis, the total scores of quality of life in myopia students were positively correlated with wearing glasses ( p = 0.049), and were negatively correlated with study time ( p = 0.029). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that study time, wearing glasses and age were risk factors affecting quality of life in myopia students. Conclusion: Our results show that senior first-year myopia students have lower quality of life scores than students with normal vision. Study time, wearing glasses and age are risk factors for quality of life in senior first-year myopia students.
