Experiences of transition from adolescence to young adulthood in the context of chronic skin conditions
BACKGROUND: Chronic skin conditions are common in youth. The developmental transition to young adulthood involves social, psychological and physical changes. Adolescents with chronic skin conditions may experience greater challenges than their healthy peers due to the addition of managing and coping with their condition. OBJECTIVE: This study explored experiences of transition from adolescence to adulthood in the context of chronic skin condition…
Contributing Factors to Cohesion Within Women’s Refugee Networks
This study aimed to understand the contributing factors to cohesion in women’s refugee resettlement networks in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. In 2022, forty women across four networks participated in semi-structured, in-depth interviews in an exploratory study into a social phenomenon of community-building with refugee women resettling on the island of Ireland. We identified four themes through reflexive thematic analysis. Motherh…
Interactions between infant characteristics and parenting factors rarely replicate across cohorts and developmental domains
BACKGROUND: Whether, and how, infant characteristics and parenting quality interact is one of developmental psychology's key questions. However, whether specific interaction patterns replicate across cohorts or developmental outcomes is largely unknown. This study investigates whether infant characteristics and parenting quality are independent predictors (additive effects) of child outcomes or interact such that certain infants particularly suff…
The prevalence of comorbid mental health difficulties in young people with chronic skin conditions
Chronic skin conditions can have psychosocial and somatic implications, influencing well-being and quality of life. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesise evidence on the prevalence of comorbid mental health difficulties in 0–25-year-olds with chronic skin conditions. A secondary aim included identifying factors associated with resilience. The narrative synthesis included 45 studies. Four meta-analyses were performed with mo…
Early‐stage profiles of adolescent mental health difficulties and well‐being
Traditional diagnostic and services pathways often overlook the nuanced ways that mental health problems and strengths appear in community settings. Some researchers have therefore used person-centered statistics-or clustering analyses-to identify profiles of socioemotional and behavioral difficulties and well-being traits in preclinical settings such as schools and communities. The objective of this review was to synthesize common adolescent men…
Resilience and trajectories of depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation in the context of exposure to acne
This longitudinal cohort study explored resilience in adolescents with and without acne regarding development of depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation, and investigated the contribution of risk/protective factors. Participants were n = 482 13- to 17-years-olds from the Lifelines Cohort Study. Data were collected at three times (2007-2023). Two group-based trajectory models were fitted. Factors across social and built environments (family func…
Childhood maltreatment and the risk of impaired glucose metabolism or type 2 diabetes in young adults
We examined the associations between childhood maltreatment and the risk of impaired glucose metabolism (IGM) or type 2 diabetes (T2D) in young adults aged 18-35. Participants ( N = 8506) from the Lifelines Cohort Study without IGM or diabetes at baseline (2007-2013) were included. Childhood maltreatment was assessed by the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and incident IGM/T2D was assessed by haemoglobin A 1c levels (≥5.7%) in 2014-2017. Ther…
Self-harm in Young People
Evidence shows that young people may have experienced increased levels of posttraumatic stress and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the landscape on self-harm is still unclear. This study aimed to examine the role of COVID-19 related posttraumatic stress, depression and resilience as predictors of self-harm with and without suicidal intent. Participants were 625 young people aged 17-25 years old ( M = 20.2 years, SD = 2.47). Resi…
Parent–Child Relationships, Digital Media Use and Parents’ Well-Being during Covid-19 Home Confinement
Research has provided substantial evidence on the role of parents' well-being in the quality of parent-child relationships and children's adjustment. Parents' stress and parental couple conflict have been linked to children's adverse developmental outcomes. However, little is known about the factors that affect parents' well-being when coping with multiple stressors such as those brought by the recent COVID-19 global pandemic. Our study intended …
Traumatic Distress of Covid-19 and Depression in the General Population
International evidence published so far shows that the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted on global mental health. Specifically, there is some research suggesting that the psychological distress related to depression, anxiety and posttraumatic stress has impacted on the psychological well-being of the general population. Yet, there is limited evidence on the relational paths between COVID-19 traumatic distress and depression. Participants …
Exploring the Impact of Covid-19 on Mental Health Outcomes in Children and Adolescents
The psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been widely discussed during the past few months, with scholars expressing concern about its potential debilitating consequences on youth mental health. Hence, this research aimed to provide a systematic review of the evidence on the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on youth mental health. We conducted a mixed methods integrated review to identify any empirical study that focused on young people ≤ 1…
Examining the effectiveness of brief interventions to strengthen a positive implicit relation between women and STEM across two timepoints
The current study assessed the impact of three brief interventions aimed at influencing implicit gender bias in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields. The reduction of this bias is a key consideration as it remains a major barrier to gender equality in STEM. The interventions (psychoeducation, exposure to positive counter-stereotypical exemplars and perspective-taking) were compared to a control group at two timepoints. Gender-S…
