“…Researchers found that insomnia is associated with increased mental and physical health consequences in adolescents, including depression ( 20 ), anxiety ( 21 ), obesity ( 22 ), alcohol abuse ( 23 ), and suicidal behavior ( 24 ). The causes of insomnia are complex ( 25 ). Current evidence indicates that adolescents who have experienced childhood trauma are more likely to experience insomnia ( 26 ), with a clear dose-response relationship throughout the life cycle ( 27 ).…”

BackgroundAdolescents who have experienced childhood trauma are more likely to have insomnia and psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) than adolescents from other ethnic groups. However, little is known about the youth of ethnic minorities. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiology of childhood trauma and its relationship with insomnia and PLEs in Chinese Zhuang adolescents, focusing on the role of a specific type of trauma and accumulation.MethodsA questionnaire of Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form (CTQ-SF), Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), and Chinese Version Community assessment psychic experiences-8 (CCAPE- 8) were all completed by 1,493 Chinese Zhuang adolescents. Chi-square and multivariate logistic regression analyses examined the association between childhood trauma and insomnia/PLEs.ResultsThe incidences of emotional abuse (EA), physical abuse (PA), sexual abuse (SA), emotional neglect (EN), and physical neglect (PN) occurred at rates of 5.63, 5.02, 6.56, 23.98, and 33.15%, respectively. EA, SA, EN, and PN were all positively related to insomnia (OR: 1.314–7.720, all p < 0.05). EA and SA were positively associated with PLEs (OR: 2.131–3.202, all p < 0.001). Adolescents who had experienced three or more types of traumas were more likely to have insomnia (OR = 6.961, p < 0.001) and PLEs (OR = 3.558, p < 0.001).ConclusionThe most common type of childhood trauma is PN. Childhood trauma has the primary effect on insomnia/PLE. A significant dose-response relationship was found between Childhood trauma and insomnia/ PLEs. This association varied depending on the type and accumulation of exposure.

BACKGROUND Medical, mental, and social challenges associated with menopause are significant in the field of women’s health. Exercise therapy can serve as an alternative treatment for alleviating menopausal symptoms, and it is crucial to engage in regular physical activity to experience its benefits. Mobile-based exercise applications can help establish exercise habits and provide guidance on workouts. Given that menopause is experienced by all women, mobile health (mHealth) services may have great social value. Furthermore, the various changes that begin after menopause increase the risk of chronic diseases. Thus, prevention and treatment can reduce the demand for medical care and lower overall medical costs. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to design and implement a mobile application (app), Rebone, specifically for menopausal women. It also sought to determine the initial feasibility of a combined exercise program, consisting of aerobic exercise and resistance exercise, provided by the app to alleviate menopausal symptoms. METHODS During April 2022, we collected data related to menopausal symptoms, quality of life, depression, insomnia, and stress from 33 individuals with similar characteristics (age, gender, height, weight). Subsequently, we compared the data collected before and after implementing an eight-week, mixed exercise program consisting of aerobic and resistance exercises, provided via a mobile app, conducted at least three times a week. RESULTS An independent sample t-test was performed after the normality test to compare the differences between the two groups pre- and post-program. After eight weeks, MRS (p = 0.002), MENQOL (p = 0.002), CES-D (p = 0.001), SRI (p = 0.027), and ISI (p = 0.000) all showed statistically significant differences between the two groups. In addition, the treatment group exercised more frequently and performed more appropriate workouts than the control group. CONCLUSIONS Statistically significant differences between the two groups were found for all collected data after the intervention. Furthermore, the frequency of exercise by group and qualitative feedback from participants indicate that mobile-based interventions for menopausal women are effective. CLINICALTRIAL This study was approved by the Basic Science Research Program through the ICONS (Institute of Convergence Science), Yonsei University Science and Technology, and the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF). It was also approved by Yonsei University’s Industry-Academic Cooperation Group's In-School Research Promotion Project (2022YSRESEARCH) and was funded by the Ministry of Education (NRF-2016R1D1A1B02015987). Lastly, this research was supported by a grant of the Information and Communications Promotion Fund through the National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA), funded by the Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT), Republic of Korea.
