“…Self-management was also associated with multiple strategies or interventions, including individual strategies, such as “Reading”, “Sleep”, or “Watching TV” [ 64 ], those involving others, such as “Peer relationships or involving others in management” [ 61 , 64 , 104 ], and digital strategies or interventions, such as FACE IT, an online psychosocial intervention designed to help young people self-manage anxiety associated with having a visible physical difference [ 65 ].…”

“…There was significant overlap across the strategies and interventions associated with self-care, self-help, and self-management in this review. For example, the following strategies or interventions spanned all three terms: sleep or rest [ 60 , 64 , 77 , 103 ], talking to others such as peers, family, or a professional when needed [ 60 , 61 , 64 , 66 , 99 , 103 , 104 ], activities involving physical movement [ 64 , 66 , 77 ], and digital strategies [ 68 , 69 , 105 ].…”

“…Self-help and self-management overlapped across the following two themes: “Associated with clinical treatments or interventions” and “Can involve social elements.” Self-help peer support programs have been described as an essential source of support for young people with mental health problems [ 113 ], and research suggests that peers, family, and social groups influence adolescents’ capacity to self-manage and seek treatment for their depression, e.g., in a recent study of Latina adolescents [ 61 ]. This was highlighted in associated strategies in included articles for self-management, specifically in “Peer relationships or involving others in management” (e.g., friends, parents, or mainstream authorities) [ 61 , 64 , 104 ]. This was also the case for self-help, specifically in “Ask a trusted friend or relative to help you get out and about or do activities” [ 60 ], “Be with friends” [ 103 ], “Let family and friends know how you are feeling so that they are aware of what you are going through” [ 60 ], “Spending time with friends and family” [ 66 ], and “Talk problems or feelings over with someone who is supportive and caring” [ 60 ].…”

Self-management, self-care, and self-help in adolescents with emotional problems: a scoping review

This study aimed to review the existing published and grey literature describing the concepts of self-management, self-care, and self-help, and to capture strategies or techniques related to these concepts, for adolescents with emotional problems. Emotional problems are rising amongst adolescents, yet timely access to specialist mental health treatment is limited to those with greater severity of mental health difficulties. Self-management, self-care, and self-help strategies may be used by adolescents with emotional problems both in terms of those waiting for treatment and to prevent relapse. Given the overlap in existing definitions and the lack of clarity around these concepts in an adolescent mental health context, a scoping review of the literature is warranted to provide clarity. Eligible studies were those involving adolescents aged 10 to 19 years with symptoms of emotional problems. Studies referenced self-management, self-care, or self-help, not involving a professional, in this population. Quantitative, qualitative, economic, and mixed methods studies, as well as systematic, scoping, and literature reviews, from 2000 onwards and in the English language, were eligible for inclusion. A systematic search was conducted of both published and grey literature. Databases searched included PsycINFO, Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and CINAHL Plus. Mednar was also searched for unpublished studies and grey literature. Tables of themes, terms, and associated strategies are presented alongside a thematic analysis of the results. 62 articles were included. These were 20 quantitative studies, 14 systematic reviews, 10 qualitative studies, five review papers, four book chapters, four mixed methods studies, two dissertations, two meta-analyses and one scoping review and systematic review. Most of the included articles referenced self-help (n = 51), followed by self-management (n = 17) and self-care (n = 6). A total of 12 themes were identified from a reflexive thematic analysis of descriptions (and associated strategies) of self-management, self-help, or self-care in included texts. This scoping review provides clarity on the similarities and differences between how these concepts are discussed, and the strategies which are associated with each of these concepts in the relevant literature. Implications for policy and intervention development for adolescents’ self-management, self-help, and self-care of their mental health are discussed. There is considerable overlap in both the ways in which these concepts are described, and the strategies or approaches proposed in relation to them, supporting previous research suggesting these strategies should be grouped under a single term, such as “self or community approaches.” More research is needed for self-management, self-help, and self-care amongst marginalized groups as these adolescents may have the highest unmet need for mental health support.

“…This developmental period is critical to examine the effects of PED on depressive symptoms and IL‐6 through negative CSs in the context of the hopelessness theory of depression (Abramson et al, 1989) because there is evidence that exposure to discrimination during this period better predicts adult inflammation than does concurrent adult discrimination (Simons et al, 2019; Tobin et al, 2022). Additionally, the adolescent developmental stage is partially characterized by socialization and identification with peer groups, which can have a strong influence on the onset and maintenance of depressive symptoms (Stafford et al, 2020). Therefore, identifying and understanding the impacts of PED at this age could improve adult health and can inform how depressive symptoms appear in this unique developmental period.…”

This study is based on the hopelessness theory of depression and previous research on perceived everyday discrimination (PED) and both depressive symptoms and Interleukin‐6 (an inflammatory cytokine; IL‐6) in adolescents. The purpose of this study is to examine the negative attribution, self, and consequence cognitive styles (CSs) proposed in the hopelessness theory as a possible mechanism underlying the association between PED and inflammation in adolescents and expand our understanding of the comorbidities between depressive symptoms and systemic inflammation (IL‐6). This cross‐sectional study featured a sample of 102 adolescents aged 13–16 (M = 14.10, SD = 0.52) who identified as White (47.5%), Black (41.4%), Mixed Race (7.1%), Latino (2%), and other (2%). Data analysis was conducted using PROCESS to compute regressions and effects between PED, negative CSs, depressive symptoms, and Interleukin‐6. Results showed that negative attribution CS is the only negative CS associated with PED, depressive symptoms, and IL‐6. Negative attribution CS is also the only negative CS of the three negative CSs that mediates both the association between PED and depressive symptoms and PED and IL‐6 in our adolescent sample. Overall, these results indicate that individual negative CSs proposed in the hopelessness theory impact adolescents' physical and mental outcomes differently, which can inform targeted treatments. Nurses should provide cognitive‐based interventions and promote societal‐level change to reduce the experience and impact of PED on the mental and physical health of their adolescent patients.
