“…Although both fatigue and depression are common and disabling for adolescents, much less is known about the relationship between the two in this population. Studies investigating the prevalence of MDD symptoms in adolescents indicate that 43% to 73.3% of adolescents with depression report fatigue as a symptom [ 23 , 24 ], and that it is the most commonly endorsed somatic symptom in this population [ 25 ]. Fatigue and depression in adolescents have been found to highly correlate and covary over time [ 26 ], and depressed adolescents may experience more impairing and distressing fatigue than their healthy and chronically ill counterparts [ 27 ], indicating that there might be a unique relationship between fatigue and depression.…”

Adolescent depression is a prevalent and disabling condition, but current psychological treatments are only moderately effective. One way to enhance outcomes is to further our understanding of adolescent depression and improve our capacity to target the most frequently reported and problematic symptoms. A common but often neglected symptom of depression is fatigue, which is associated with considerable impairment and has the potential to interfere with adolescents’ engagement in psychological therapies. Despite this, the experience of fatigue in adolescent depression and how we target it in treatment is currently poorly understood. Therefore, we aimed to explore adolescents’ experiences and understandings of fatigue in depression, recruiting from clinical and community settings. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 UK-based adolescents aged 14–18 years old with elevated symptoms of depression. Using reflexive thematic analysis, three themes were generated. Fatigue is a complex concept explored adolescents’ understanding of fatigue as a dynamic, multifaceted symptom which had mental and physical components. Trapped in a cycle of fatigue considered the complex and reciprocal relationship between fatigue and other depressive symptoms, and the subsequent impact of limited energy on engagement with everyday activities. Finally, stigma as a barrier to help-seeking highlighted how adolescents were reluctant to seek help due to experienced stigma and the perception that fatigue was not a serious enough symptom. Findings from this study suggest that fatigue should be viewed as a psychological as well as somatic symptom of depression, with implications regarding the identification and treatment of fatigue in depression in routine clinical practice.

Against the background of increasingly complex healthcare needs, well-trained healthcare professionals are urgently needed. New technologies in the field of digital education can both improve access to education and support the development of transformative skills. This raises the question of the didactic use of digital education in the healthcare professions, which acquire professional knowledge, practical skills, and analytical skills as part of their training. Therefore, a scoping review was conducted to investigate what is known in the literature about digital education in occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech and language therapy. Following a systematic literature search, 100 studies in the past ten years were identified. After prescreening, 16 studies were identified to answer the research question, and for this summarized numerically and then analyzed in a qualitative synthesis. The results provide evidence of positively evaluated teaching concepts and techniques, analytical and practical skill acquisition, and proven technologies. In addition, the results highlight the diversity of digital training options and provide evidence of their effects.
