Les troubles de stress et d'anxiété chez des élèves adolescents en JordanieRÉSUMÉ Les troubles mentaux chez les adolescents ont des impacts négatifs sur des aspects concernant la santé et la vie quotidienne, mais les données relatives à leur prévalence manquent en Jordanie. La présente étude avait pour objectif d'estimer la prévalence des troubles de stress et d'anxiété et d'enquêter sur leur association avec le sexe et d'autres facteurs socio-démographiques chez des élèves adolescents. Une conception transversale descriptive à été utilisée dans cette étude. Un échantillon composé de 1103 élèves adolescents ayant terminé les deux premières sections du questionnaire de santé du patient pour les adolescents a été recruté dans des écoles. La prévalence des troubles mentaux était de 28,6 %. La prévalence des troubles de stress et d'anxiété était respectivement de 22,4 % et 16,3 %. Des associations significatives ont été trouvées entre les troubles mentaux et le sexe, l'âge, le fait d'habiter avec ses parents ou l'état de santé mentale des parents. D'autres études doivent être réalisées en Jordanie pour comprendre la nature et les facteurs de risque des troubles mentaux chez les adolescents. Des programmes de dépistage, de promotion et prévention dans le domaine de la santé mentale en milieu scolaire et communautaire sont recommandés pour prévenir et réduire la prévalence des troubles mentaux chez les adolescents. ABSTRACT Mental disorders in adolescents have negative impacts on aspects of health and life that can be reduced by early detection and referral. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders and to investigate their association with gender and other socio-demographic factors among adolescent students. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used in this study. A sample of 1103 adolescent students was recruited from schools who completed the first two sections of Patient Health Questionnaire for Adolescents (PHQ-A). The prevalence of any mental disorders was 28.6%. The prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders was 22.4% and 16.3%, respectively. Significant associations were found between mental disorders and gender, age, living status with parents, or mental health status of parents. Further studies are needed to be conducted in Jordan in order to understand the nature and risk factors of mental disorders among adolescents. School and community-based mental health screening, promotion and prevention programmes are recommended to prevent and reduce the prevalence of mental disorders among adolescents. ‫األردن‬ ‫يف‬ ‫املراهقني‬ ‫األطفال‬ ‫صفوف‬ ‫يف‬ ‫بالقلق‬ ‫املرتبطة‬ ‫واالضطرابات‬ ‫املزاجية‬ ‫االضطرابات‬

Introduction: Nursing is highly demanding and stressful profession. Negative consequences of job demands were widely discussed throughout the literature like; poor quality of care, poor health, burnout, greater intent to leave and lower level of job satisfaction. Job dissatisfaction among nurses also has been discussed exhaustively in the literature in regards to its negative outcomes represented by burnout, absenteeism, turnover, greater intent to leave and finally leaving nursing profession. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine literature discussing job demands in nursing profession and its associated factors among nurses, and to provide direction as to where research needs to continue to explore and develop evidence in this area. Results: Results showed that job demands are the most influential stressor in nursing profession that associated strongly with many negative consequences on the profession in general and on the nurses on particular. Conclusion: The results supported that job demand is unavoidable stressor that leads to many negative consequences and connects directly to job dissatisfaction. Therefore, there is a need to search for alleviating factors that decrease nursing stressor, its consequences and buffer the correlation between job demand and job satisfaction.

For the concept of health to be conceptualized, it is important that nurses have consensus regarding the definition of health. The nursing discipline should define health in a manner that is consistent with its philosophical presuppositions. Further, it should be measurable, empirically based, and capture the outcomes that are sensitive to the nursing interventions.

The purpose of this article is to review the literature regarding the relationships between alexithymia, fibromyalgia (FM), and psychological distress among adolescents. Google Scholar and databases were searched using alexithymia, fibromyalgia, psychological distress, and adolescent keywords. Studies that examine the relationship between alexithymia and fibromyalgia and the contribution of psychological distress on this relationship among adolescents are lacking. However, based on previous studies on adult samples and theoretical background, there are possible relationship between alexithymia and fibromyalgia as well as possible mediating effect of psychological distress on this relationship in adolescents. Further studies are recommended to examine the relationships between alexithymia, fibromyalgia, and psychological distress among adolescents.
