“…While most teens make successful adjustments to life, research historically indicates that psychological difficulties in youth often develop into psychiatric problems in adulthood (Kriechman, 1985;Rutter, Graham, Chadwick, & Yule, 1976;Swift, 1987). The mentally healthy adolescent is one who has sufficient support and coping skills to deal with anger and stress plus negotiate family, social, and school problems (Compas & Orosan, 1993).…”

“…The various problems evident in rural areas may be compounded by the lack of specialty health services, resulting in rural health disparities (Anderson & Gittler, 2005; USDHHS, 2000). Attempting to apply urban designed health promotion interventions in rural settings has been met with limited success (Stanton et al, 2006).While most teens make successful adjustments to life, research historically indicates that psychological difficulties in youth often develop into psychiatric problems in adulthood (Kriechman, 1985;Rutter, Graham, Chadwick, & Yule, 1976;Swift, 1987).

Uncontrolled anger is a contributing force in the three leading causes of adolescent death: homicide, suicide, and injuries. Anger may be one of the early warning signs which could lead to violent behavior. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between anger experience and expression with the potential correlates of life events, perceived social support, self-esteem, optimism, drug use, anxiety, and depressive symptoms in rural adolescents. The participants (n=193) were aged 14 to 17 years old in ninth through eleventh grades enrolled at three rural Western Pennsylvania public high schools. Participants completed nine questionnaires. Negative life events, anxiety, drug use, and depressive symptoms had significant positive correlations with anger. In addition, anger was found to have significant negative correlations with the adolescents' perceived family support, self-esteem, and optimism. With this knowledge, health promotion programs conducted by pediatric nurses can target anxiety, drug use, and depressive symptoms while bolstering family support, self-esteem, and optimism to promote anger management in adolescent health care.

Anger may be one of the early warning signs which may lead to this violent behavior. Anger that is expressed frequently and intensely in response to minor irritants may signal potential violent behavior (Dwyer et al., 1998 (USDHHS, 2007). In particular, rural adolescents face additional disparities related to the compounding stresses of geographic isolation, lack of specialized services, and poverty. Although the actions of angry youth, from school shootings to dating violence, have peppered the media in recent years, few studi...

Background Limb preservation surgery for extremity sarcomas offers the promise of improved function and cosmesis over amputation. Application of limb salvage surgery for pediatric patients with expandable metallic endoprostheses is gaining acceptance. The few studies reporting these devices have focused on functional outcomes; one has addressed quality of life. Questions/purposes We asked the following questions: (1) how happy are these patients; (2) how do these patients perceive their bodies; (3) do these children have difficulty with social interactions; and (4) how satisfied are patients and their parents with their outcomes?

“…Considerable evidence supports the notion that a high level of discord is a marker of adolescent adjustment difficulties. In the classic Isle of Wight study, for instance, adolescents with psychiatric disorders were twice as likely to report altercations with parents as were those without psychiatric disorders (Rutter, Graham, Chadwick, & Yule, 1976). Community samples of adolescents also report associations between indices of maladjustment and the frequency of conflict, primarily with parents (for a review, see Smetana, 1996).…”

In this study, the authors examined whether concurrent associations between adolescent outcomes and disagreements with mothers, fathers, and best friends vary as a function of perceived relationship quality. Participants were 469 11-to 18-year-old youths from a culturally diverse community. Negative qualities of parent-adolescent and friend relationships were linked to adjustment problems (aggression, anxiety and depression, delinquency, and withdrawal). Positive qualities of parentadolescent relationships were linked to school grades and adjustment problems. Nonlinear associations between conflict and adolescent outcomes were moderated by negative qualities of relationships such that increases in conflict from low to moderate levels were linked to (a) higher school grades for adolescents in better but not poorer quality relationships and (b) greater delinquency and withdrawal for adolescents in poorer but not better quality relationships. Keywords adolescent conflict; mother-adolescent relationship; father-adolescent relationship; friendship Interpersonal conflict can be aversive. For this reason, contention is assumed to be antithetical to individual wellbeing. But is conflict necessarily pernicious? Many scholars believe that the valence of conflict depends on the family in which it arises: Conflict in supportive relationships is thought to be constructive and beneficial, whereas conflict in unsupportive relationships is considered destructive and detrimental. Agreement about this intuitively appealing assumption obscures the fact that it has received scant empirical attention. The present investigation was designed to address this proposition by exploring whether associations between indices of adolescent well-being and self-reports of disagreements with mothers, fathers, and best friends vary as a function of the perceived quality of the relationship in which the disagreement arises.Conflict is an essential form of communication. Over the course of a typical day, adolescents report three or four conflicts with parents and one or two conflicts with friends (Laursen & Collins, 1994). Conflicts signal the significance of topics and relationships, they provide a means for expressing concern and dissatisfaction, and they serve as a vehicle for individual growth and relationship transformation (Sillars, Canary, & Tafoya, 2004). Conflict, defined as overt behavioral opposition, is typically operationalized in terms of disagreement or incompatible behaviors. This designation has the advantage of disentangling conflict from competition and aggression and avoiding problems that arise when conflict is conflated with negative affect. Our goal was to describe the role conflict plays in shaping adolescent outcomes. NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author ManuscriptWe defined conflict as disagreement so as to capture all instances of opposition; we focused on conflict with parents and friends because most adolescents report these relationships to be their closest, most influential, and most...
