Nowadays, a growing increase in depression and school burnout is being observed in students. The research aim is to test the mediating effect deviation from balanced time perspective, gender, and subjective sense of family network acceptance on the relationship between depression and school burnout. The sample consisted of 355 students (61.6% girls, 48.4% boys) from the third grade of high school in the south of Poland (mean age 18.5). The student school burnout scale for youth, Time Perspective Inventory, and Depression Scale for youth were used in the survey. Results showed significant relationships between the time perspective indicators, depression, and school burnout as well as a mediation effect of the past time perspective and the fatalistic present time perspective towards depression through school burnout. The findings confirmed that the focus of a person on immediate hedonistic goals becomes significant for the severity of depression only after accounting for the level of school burnout. Conclusions comprised the design of psychological interventions aimed at the group of young people experiencing depression and school burnout considering the time perspective development.
This study aimed to apply latent profile analysis (LPA) to (a) empirically identify adolescents’ profiles based on their time perspective (TP), using a person-centered approach; (b) outline the identified profiles across student burnout, depression, and perceived family acceptance; and (c) establish differences between pre-COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 students. Cross-sectional data were collected through an online survey of 668 adolescents. The participants completed the Kutcher Adolescent Depression Scale (KADS), Student School Burnout Scale (SSBS), Time Perspective Inventory (TPI), and Perceived Family Acceptance (PFA) items. Five subtypes of TP were found: hedonistic youth focused mainly on the present time; hedonistic youths focused on the present and future time; fatalistic youths focused on the present and negative past time; future-oriented youths with a positive perception of the past; and hedonistic youths focused on the present with a mild past-negative time perspective. These five profiles were compared for the variables of student burnout, depression, and perceived family acceptance. Scores from SSBS, KADS, and PFA showed a statistical difference across the five subtypes, with the most intensive mental health, social, and educational problems in profile 5. The level of SSBS was significantly different in the pre-COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 samples; however, no significant differences were found in KADS and PFA. Thus, perspective should be emphasized in adolescents with burnout and depression symptoms.
Ostra choroba układu oddechowego (COVID-19) jest wywołana przez nowy koronawirus SARS-CoV-2, a jej pierwsze przypadki odnotowano w Wuhan w Chinach, w grudniu 2019 r. Ze względu na dynamikę i globalny zasięg rozprzestrzeniania się wirusa ogłoszono stan pandemii, z powodu którego w wielu krajach wprowadzono różne obostrzenia, dotyczące przedewszystkim przemieszczania się oraz kontaktów społecznych. Z powodu wprowadzonych zmian i ograniczeń osoby z zaburzeniami ze spektrum autyzmu (ASD) utraciły możliwośćkorzystania z systemowego i kompleksowego wsparcia instytucjonalnego (tj. zajęć terapeutycznych i szkolnych), w związku z czym, ze względu na specyfikę ich funkcjonowania doświadczyły szeregu trudnych sytuacji. Niniejszy artykuł stanowi próbę opisu trudności, z jakimi osoby z ASD muszą się konfrontować w sytuacji pandemii, a także prezentuje przykładowe strategie wspierające, które mogą ułatwiać im proces rozumienia zaistniałej sytuacji i radzenia sobie ze stresem. Propozycje te tworzone na kanwie historyjek społecznych Carol Gray i wykorzystujące alternatywneformy komunikacji służą przekazywaniu osobom z ASD informacji o wirusie i regułach zachowań adaptacyjnych podczas pandemii, ułatwiają wyrażanie i regulację emocji, a także uwrażliwiają ich opiekunów na trudne psychiczne i somatyczne doświadczenia osób z ASD, których ekspresja może być subtelnie lub niejednoznacznie wyrażona.
