“…Girls living with a chronic condition present more internalizing behaviours and girls without a chronic condition more healthy behaviours. Also, this data supports the idea that girls have more internalized behaviours ( Matos et al, 2012 ; Suris et al, 1996 ; La Greca et al, 1995 ) than boys.…”

“…They can also experience more adjustment problems ( Oeseburg, Jansen, Groothoff, Dijkstra, & Reijneveld, 2010 ; Geist, 2003 ), as well as internalize symptoms such as depression ( Vanhalst et al, 2013 ; Miyazaki, Amaral & Grecca, 2006 ), anxiety and social withdrawal, and externalize others through specific behaviors ( Lavigue & Fier-Routman, 1992 ). Boys seem to be significantly more likely than girls to display behavioral and adjustment problems ( Gortmaker, Walker, Weitzman, & Sobol, 1990 ), and girls show higher levels of anxiety ( Matos et al, 2012 ), depression ( La Greca, Swales, Klemp, Madigan, & Skyler, 1995 ), emotional distress (sadness, expressing depressive symptomatology) and suicide ideation ( Suris, Parera, & Puig, 1996 ).…”

Chronic Condition and Risk Behaviours in Portuguese Adolescents

Living with a chronic condition (CC) in adolescence has been historically considered protective for risk behaviours. However, research from the last decade suggest that when compared with healthy peers, adolescents living with a chronic condition can engage in risky behaviours in a similar if not higher rate than their counterparts living with out a CC. This study aims to characterize and evaluate the impact of 1) living with a chronic condition (CC), and 2) how the perception of living with a CC affects school participation, and its association with risk/protective behaviours (drunkenness, physical fight, sadness and self-harm). For this purpose 4 groups were identified: adolescents with mostly healthy behaviours, adolescents with mostly risk behaviours, adolescents with mostly risk-internalizing behaviours and adolescents with mostly risk-externalizing behaviours.A large sample was included in this study, composed by 3494 Portuguese adolescents with an average age of 15 years, who participated in the Portuguese Survey of Health Behaviour in School-aged Children/WHO (HBSC).Main results show that adolescents living with a CC have more risk-internalizing behaviours when compared to adolescents without CC, who present more healthy behaviors. Furthermore, adolescents that report that having a CC affects school participation show more risky behaviours than those not affected by a CC who present more healthy behaviours. Boys with a CC show more healthy behaviours, and those who feel that the CC affects school participation present more risky behaviours. On the other hand, girls with a CC have more risk-internalizing behaviours and less healthy behavioursIt is important to point out that dolescents living with a CC represent a vulnerable group, and may engage in experimental/risky behaviours as likely as their non CC peers. Thus, potential benefits can arise from reinforcing interventions within protective contexts (family/peers/school setting). Health/education professionals, more than considering risk behaviours as dangerous in themselves, should offer adolescents with a CC an opportunity to reflect on their own decisions. Educational programs would benefit from looking at risk behaviors more from an experimentation perspective, focusing on constructive ways to help adolescents with CC to proceed into adulthood in a more appropriate developmental way.

“…The children also completed the Portuguese version of Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children (MASC), which examines the symptoms of anxiety in children and adolescents ages 7 to 19 years. It contains 39 questions, with four-point Likert scale responses (March et al, 1997; Matos et al, 2012; Salvador et al, 2017). Items on this questionnaire are grouped into four factors: (a) Physical symptoms, (b) Social anxiety, (c) Separation anxiety, and (d) Harm avoidance (Wei et al, 2014).…”

Temperament, Executive Functioning, and Anxiety in School-Age Children Who Stutter

The purpose of this study was to examine temperament dimensions, executive functioning ability, and anxiety levels in school-age children who stutter and their non-stuttering peers. Participants were 100 Portuguese children aged 7 to 12 years (M = 9.13; SD = 1.70), including 50 children who stutter and 50 children who do not stutter. Analyses, which were performed separately for younger and older participants, sought to identify correlations between key variables. Temperament was evaluated through a parent questionnaire, executive functioning was evaluated through children’s responses on a performance test, and anxiety level was assessed through a self-perception scale. On the temperament measure, comparisons between children who stutter and their non-stuttering peers revealed that older children who stutter exhibited significantly higher scores on the Anger/Frustration, Impulsivity, and Sadness subscales, and lower averages on the Attention/Focusing, Perceptual sensitivity, and Soothability/Falling Reactivity subscales. On the executive functioning task, comparisons revealed that the group of younger children who stutter exhibited significantly higher average execution times than their non-stuttering peers. There were no statistically significant differences in anxiety between children who stutter and children who do not stutter, and there were no statistically significant correlations between temperament factors and measures of executive functioning. Children who stutter experienced lower ability to orient attention and greater emotional reactivity compared with their non-stuttering peers. Significant correlations were found between executive functioning and age and among the temperament factors themselves. These results, which support the need for a multidimensional view of stuttering, were interpreted in the context of the Dual Diathesis – Stressor model. Findings indicate that temperament and executive functioning abilities may contribute to the development of stuttering.

“…Meanings concerning the disease start to consolidate in scholar ages and having an older age at the disease's onset or longer disease duration are higher risks for adjustment difficulties (Panamonta, Prathipanawatr, & Panamonta, 2012). Boys seem to be significantly more likely than girls to display behavioural and adjustment problems (Gortmaker, Walker, Weitzman, & Sobol, 1990), and girls show higher levels of anxiety (Matos, Tomé, Borges, Manso, Simões, & Ferreira, 2012), depression (La Greca, Swales, Klemp, Madigan, & Skyler, 1995), emotional distress (sadness, expressing depressive symptomatology) and suicide ideation (Suris, Parera, & Puig, 1996). In general population, it can be seen that older pupils, girls, students with low socio-economic status, or frequent health complaints reported decreased mental health (Erhart et al, 2009) and health-related quality of life (Gaspar, Matos, Ribeiro, Leal, & Ferreira, 2009).…”

Objective: To examine the differences in the psychological well-being of Portuguese adolescents' (1) living with a chronic condition (CC) and (2) living with a CC and feeling it affects/not affects school participation. Methods: There were 5050 Portuguese adolescents as participants of the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children/WHO. Results: Adolescents without CC often feel rarely or never 'sad/ depressed', 'irritated/bad humour', 'nervous', 'fearful' or 'so sad that it seems I can't take it', compared with their healthy peers. Young people living with CC and feeling that it does not affect participation in school, often feel rarely or never 'sad/depressed', 'fearful' or 'so sad that it seems I can't take it', comparing with the ones with CC and feeling it affects school. All of these symptoms were higher in adolescents living with a CC. Conclusions: Adolescents living with a CC and feeling that it affects participation in school can be at a higher risk for a healthy psychological well-being. Future early interventions based on a 'health assets' approach should be implemented.
