Depression and anxiety levels of mothers were measured using the Turkish versions of the Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3. The Turkish version of the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale-Child Version was used to measure depression and anxiety in children. Patients with PMNE had significantly higher Child Anxiety and Depression Scale scores than controls (p < .001). Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and The Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3 scores of the mothers of children with PMNE were significantly higher than controls (p < .001 for all). We showed that PMNE was associated with depression and anxiety in mothers and their children. These findings underpin the necessity for clinical screening of anxiety and depression in children with PMNE and their mothers.","PeriodicalId":46607,"journal":{"name":"Childrens Health Care","volume":"52 1","pages":"381 - 390"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44415644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The burnout and adaptive coping levels of the parents with ASD children were greater than those of the controls. However, there was no significant difference in terms of general distress levels. Increased irritability was the most commonly reported symptom among children with ASD. However, behavioral issues in children were the strongest predictor of parental burnout, whereas maladaptive coping skills were linked to general distress.

We enrolled 95 Italian families (33 had children with congenital anomalies) with children aged 8–12 months. A significant effect of post-partum depressive dimensions emerged. Moreover, parental similarities in co-parenting quality moderated the relationship between post-partum depressive dimensions and infants’ sleep in both families with healthy and at-risk children.

Some of the most commonly encountered concerns include eating disorders, cystic fibrosis, substance use disorders, behavioral problems comorbid with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and gender dysphoria. The estimated prevalence of eating disorders among youth ranges from 0.3% to 22.7% (Dahlgren & Wisting, 2016), of cystic fibrosis among newborns from 0.28% to 0.4% (Goldbeck, Fidika, Herle, & Quittner, 2014), of substance use disorder from 13.4% to 26.3% (Volkow, Han, Einstein, & Compton, 2021), of comorbid behavior problems from 38.9% to 58.9% among youth with intellectual disabilities (Gurney, McPheeters, & Davis, 2006), and of gender dysphoria and related concerns from 1.3% to 19% (Baum et al., 2018; Rider, McMorris, Gower, Coleman, & Eisenberg, 2018; Shields et al., 2013). Specialty medical and/or behavioral health services are often required to address the symptoms and concomitant functional impairment associated with these conditions (National Survey of Children’s Health, 2020). Medical interventions for these conditions commonly include emergency weight restoration via tube-feeding for eating disorders (Chan, Jaffe, D’Souza, Lowe, & Matthews-Rensch, 2021; Hale & Logomarsino, 2019); antibiotic regimens, selective gene modulator therapies, and portable airway clearance devices for cystic fibrosis (Goldbeck, Fidika, Herle, & Quittner, 2015); medication-assisted treatment to include naltrexone or suboxone for substance use disorders (MAT; Maglione et al., 2018); psychopharmacological agents, such as mood stabilizers or atypical antipsychotics, for severely disruptive behaviors co-occurring with intellectual and developmental disabilities (Jones et al., 2018; Lee, Vidal, & Findling, 2018); and hormone replacement treatment or corrective surgery for gender dysphoria (Butler, de Graaf, Wren, & Carmichael, 2018; Claahsen-van der Grinten et al., 2021) to directly address condition-specific symptoms.","PeriodicalId":46607,"journal":{"name":"Childrens Health Care","volume":"52 1","pages":"1 - 6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42392579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Impairment was evident for 54.7% of youth. Greater impairment was associated with female gender, higher number and frequency of symptoms, and specific symptoms of headache, weakness, or exercise intolerance. Study 2 examined symptoms, functional disability, and treatment interest in a subset of youth from Study 1 (n = 75); data were collected 1–2 years after initial visit via phone interview. Fifty-six percent of participants remained symptomatic, with mean disability exceeding “substantial impairment” and most (78.6%) expressing desire for treatment. Greater disability was associated with more symptoms and the symptom of weakness. Critically, disability was more than twice as high among racial and ethnic minority youth.
