“…Analysis of our study results reveals that the girls with delinquent behaviour living in CSC show the risk of having problems at school, high level of social stress, anxiety, sense of inadequacy, atypicality, attention problems, hyperactivity and lower levels of self-esteem, self-reliance, interpersonal relations. The results support the conclusions of other studies which found significant relations between EBD students and weak levels of social skills, self-esteem and self-efficacy, cooperation (Gendron et al, 2004) and delinquency (Pileckaitė-Markovienė, 2006). In their research Remschmidt and Walter (2010) stress that the first factor for delinquency is a behavioural disturbance in early childhood, such as attention deficithyperactivity disorder (ADHD), aggressiveness, or disturbances of social behaviour, which limit the individual's developmental possibilities.…”

“…Individuals' with EBD usually demonstrated behaviours can be so disruptive that they can seriously complicate relationships with peers, parents, and teachers (Farrell, Shaw, & Webber, 2009;Kann, Traci, & Hanna, 2000). Unfortunately, these children and youth often demonstrate deficits in social skill and this can have profound effects on successful community integration and cooperation (Gendron, Royer, Bertrand & Potvin, 2004;Gresham, Sugai, & Horner 2001). Social skills are learned behaviours necessary for individuals to get along successfully with others in both school and community settings (Sheridan, Eagle, Cowan, & Mickelson, 2001).…”

Background. Students with emotional and behavioural disorders (EBD) represent one of the most challenging groups not only to provide effective educational services, but often present complex challenges for schools, families, and society. There is a lack of information about concrete research-based interventions and practices which could be helpful for delinquent students with EBD to cope with problem behaviour more effectively. The aim of the study was to assess the emotional and behaviour disorders of girls living in socialization centres and to review intervention strategies for changing behaviour through physical activity. Methods. The study was conducted in two Children Socialization Centres where 50 girls aged 12 – 18 are housed following the decision of Child Welfare Commission. Behaviour Assessment System for Children (BASC-2), a Self-Report Personality Scale was used to find out emotional and behavioural disorders of girls. Results. Analysis of our study results reveals that the girls with delinquent behaviour living in CSC show the risk of having problems in school, high level of social stress, anxiety, sense of inadequacy, atypicality, attention problems, hyperactivity and lower levels of self-esteem, self-reliance, interpersonal relations. The results support the conclusions of other studies which found significant relations between EBD students and weak levels of social skills, self-esteem and self-efficacy, cooperation.Conclusion. Sport and physical activity settings are effective intervention setting for creation, practicing and maintenance of pro-social behaviour and emotion managing; furthermore those skills could be transferred to community settings in everyday life. The best education setting for EBD students could be provided in inclusive environment, where the positive behaviour skills could be copied and maintained.

“…Considering the high prevalence of depression and low self-esteem in at-risk youth (Gendron et al, 2004;MacMahon, 1990), their low rates of participation in structured physical activity programmes (Burton & Marshall, 2005;Duncan et al, 2002) and the potential of such programmes to improve social and emotional well-being, encouraging at-risk youth to engage in physical activity programmes is justified. It remains untested whether the improvements in social and emotional well-being associated with participation in physical activity programmes are sustained once youth return to their daily routines.…”

“…In addition, an active lifestyle is associated with improved mental health in young people (Ekeland, Heian, & Hagen, 2005;Parfitt & Eston, 2005). It is therefore not surprising that physical activity programmes have been identified as a potential strategy for improving social and emotional well-being in Ôat-riskÕ youth (Collingwood, 1997;MacMahon, 1990;West & Crompton, 2001), as these individuals are characterised by a number of conditions and psychopathologies, with a prevalence of depression and low self-esteem exceeding the general population (Gendron, Royer, Bertrand, & Potvin, 2004;MacMahon, 1990). …”

Background: Physical activity programmes have been identified as a potential strategy for improving social and emotional well-being in at-risk youth, who have a prevalence of depression and low self-esteem exceeding the general population. Methods: A systematic search of six electronic databases (EMBASE, OVID MEDLINE, PsychINFO, PubMed, Scopus and SPORTDiscus) was conducted to identify physical activity programmes designed to improve social and emotional well-being in at-risk youth. Results: The search identified 15 studies, which reported the effects of three types of physical activity programmes (i.e. outdoor adventure, sport and skill-based and physical fitness programmes) on social and emotional well-being. While many of the interventions resulted in significant positive effects, the risk of bias was high in all of the included studies. Conclusion: Due to the mixed findings and the high risk of bias, it is difficult to determine the efficacy of physical activity programmes for improving social and emotional well being in at-risk youth. Key Practitioner Message:• Physical activity programmes have the potential to improve social and emotional well-being in at-risk youth, but more rigorous trials are needed to evaluate their effectiveness • As none of the studies included long-term follow-ups (i.e. >12 months), it remains untested whether the benefits associated with participation in physical activity programmes are sustained once youth return to their daily routines • The quality of existing studies is poor and has not improved since earlier reviews • Physiological and psychosocial factors may explain the beneficial effects of physical activity programmes on social and emotional well-being in at-risk youth • Clinicians working with at-risk youth are encouraged to consider specific physical activity programmes to support social and emotional well-being and general health in this group.

“…Pastaraisiais metais sparčiai augantis paauglių elgesio sutrikimų skaičius tampa vis didesne problema. Elgesio sutrikimų turintys paaugliai pasižymi mažesne saviverte, žemesniais akademiniais pasiekimais, menkesniais socialiniais įgūdžiais (7). Tokie paaugliai dėl socialių, emocinių ir elgesio problemų dažnai pašalinami iš mokyklos, o tai dar labiau sunkina tolesnį jų psichosocialinį prisitaikymą (8).…”

Objective. To study the correlation between adolescents’ psychical disorders and their difficulties of psychosocial adaptation. Methods and materials. There were 63 adolescent participants in our study (47 girls and 16 boys) who were hospitalized in Department of Children and Adolescent Psychiatry, Kaunas University of Medicine Hospital (Lithuania) during the period from September to December, 2005. Twenty-seven adolescents (19 girls and 8 boys) had suicidal and self-harming behavior. Psychical disorders were diagnosed according to ICD-10 diagnostic criterions. We used Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire SDQ-lit adapted for Lithuania. Results. While comparing the mean scores in both sexes of adolescents with diagnoses of depressive, behavioral and adaptation disturbances, we found a statistically significant difference only in emotionally disturbance scale results (P=0.016). Analyzing groups of girls and boys separately, girls showed to be worse psychosocially adapted and had more emotional problems. Girls who tried to commit suicide had more emotional (P=0.006) and psychosocial problems (P<0.001). Girls who were diagnosed with affective disorders had more expressed emotional (P<0.001) and general adaptation (P=0.031) difficulties. Parents noted that those who committed a suicide and had behavior disturbances had more expressed emotional (P=0.007) and general adaptation (P=0.053) problems. Conclusions. 1. Adolescent girls who were diagnosed depressive illnesses had more emotional and general adaptation problems than girls who were diagnosed behavior or adaptation disorders. 2. Adolescent girls who tried to commit suicide had more expressed behavior problems and difficulties of emotional, general adaptation. 3. Most expressed difficulties of emotional and general adaptation were typical to girls who were diagnosed with depression and who tried to commit a suicide.
