Parents’ experiences of their adolescent child’s depression
A third of adolescents aged 11 to 19 years report depression symptoms, yet many go undiagnosed or do not receive timely treatment. Those who do seek support often face barriers including stigma and long waiting times, resulting in a significant needs-access gap for adolescents looking to access treatment for depression. Parents play a central role in recognizing adolescents’ symptoms and seeking treatment for them. To deepen the understanding on …
Young people’s attitudes towards online self-help single-session interventions
The current study highlights that whilst young people perceived there to be many benefits associated with online single-session interventions, including anonymity, easy access, and lack of disclosure, they expressed doubts regarding sufficiency and ability to address severe mental health problems. Despite this, the potentially preventative effects during the early stages of help-seeking were highlighted, alongside single-session interventions act…
The impact of co-occurring chronic pain and mental health symptoms on adolescent functioning, a cross-sectional survey
Adolescents who experience poor mental health may develop chronic pain. Similarly, those with chronic pain may develop mental health symptoms. Little is known concerning how these co-occurring symptoms are associated with adolescent functioning. Our online cross-sectional quantitative study compared the specific nature of challenges to psychosocial functioning, across 4 groups: (1) adolescents with co-occurring chronic pain and mental health symp…
A model of community youth mental health support services in the global South
Young people in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including South Africa, are disproportionately affected by multiple risk factors for developing mental health problems and there are numerous barriers to accessing mental health care. In such contexts non-governmental organisations (NGOs) play a key role in providing support. We report on the mental health care services provided by NGO Community Keepers in South Africa. Community Keepers (…
I just want to stay here and sleep forever”
Chronic fatigue is a distressing symptom for endometriosis patients but is not widely investigated in the literature. Our aim was to explore patients’ lived experiences of chronic fatigue and how they make meaning of it. We analysed a subset of data from seven severely fatigued endometriosis patients, drawn from a broader qualitative study in South Africa, using an interpretive phenomenological analysis. Three superordinate themes and eight subor…

Correlates of Fatigue Among South African Adolescents Living with HIV and Receiving Antiretroviral Therapy
Exploring our understanding of fatigue among adolescents living with HIV
Due to antiretroviral therapies, HIV is now a chronic illness rather than a terminal disease. Chronic symptoms, including fatigue, should be identified and managed to prevent or minimise their potential negative consequences. We apply a Symptom Management Model to conceptualise fatigue among adolescents with HIV. In the context of minimal research, we seek to identify a research agenda for resource-constrained contexts, where HIV prevalence remai…
‘ … But i’m still tired’
In adults with HIV, fatigue is a common and disabling symptom associated with suboptimal adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), poor health and well-being, reduced economic productivity, and increased health care resource use. Fatigue among adolescents with HIV is relatively unexplored. We recruited 14 adolescents with HIV receiving ART in South Africa whom we interviewed about fatigue. We used thematic analysis to analyse the data. Participa…
Psychosocial predictors of quality of life among South Africa adolescents receiving antiretroviral therapy
Fatigue among South African adolescents living with HIV
Evidence suggests that HIV-infected adolescents experience elevated levels of fatigue that impacts their functioning at school and other important aspects of their lives. Yet, fatigue has not been measured amongst this population group. In this cross-sectional, mixed-methods study we explored the psychometric properties of the 11-item Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire (CFQ) amongst 134 South African adolescents (11-18 years old) receiving antiretrovi…
