Sleep problems have been identified as a potential antecedent of chronic pain and pain-related disability in pediatric populations. In adult studies, affect has been implicated in these relationships. This study sought to better understand the relationships between sleep quality, negative and positive affect and pain and functioning in children with chronic pain. Participants included 213 children and adolescents (aged 7–17) presenting to a tertiary pain clinic with chronic pain. Children completed questionnaires measuring sleep quality, positive and negative affect, pain intensity, and functional disability. Results indicated that 74% of children reported disordered sleeping and that poor sleep quality was significantly associated with increased pain, disability, negative affect, and decreased positive affect. Our hypotheses were partially supported, with negative affect (but not positive affect) mediating the relationship between poor sleep and increased pain; and both positive and negative affect mediating the relationship between poor sleep and increased functional disability. There was no evidence for affect as a moderator. This study adds to the growing literature demonstrating the impact of poor sleep quality on children’s pain and functioning, highlighting the need to develop further longitudinal research to confirm the causal roles of these variables.

“…Although the incidences of both myopia and psychological illness have increased among adolescents in recent years, few studies are available on the relationship between them (Łazarczyk et al, 2016; Seitler, 2009; Ayaki et al, 2016). A review of the existing literature indicates that the current study is the first to our knowledge to examine the associations between adolescent anxiety and myopia and between adolescent depression and myopia.…”

“…A review of the existing literature indicates that the current study is the first to our knowledge to examine the associations between adolescent anxiety and myopia and between adolescent depression and myopia. Recently, most related studies have focused on psychological health problems (e.g., anxiety or depression) among adolescents with high myopia (Ayaki et al, 2016; Yokoi et al, 2014), while we assessed the rates of anxiety and depression in groups with mild, moderate, and severe myopia and compared them with those of adolescents with emmetropia in the current study. Additionally, the relationships between the SDS and SAS scores and diopters of the students’ glasses were examined.…”

“…Recently, it has been reported that myopia not only causes anxiety or/and depression but also contributes to a decline in vision‐related quality of life (VR‐QoL) in patients (Ayaki, Torii, Tsubota, & Negishi, 2016). However, Wu et al found although the VR‐QoL was greatly affected by the deterioration of visual function indices and psychological symptoms, psychological disorders had a greater effect than visual function components on the VR‐QoL.…”

Purpose:The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in anxiety and depression between adolescents with myopia and those with normal vision and to examine the relationship between the level of anxiety and depression and the degree of myopia. Methods:A total of 1,103 first-year high school students aged 14-17 years were included in the study. The study group comprised 916 persons with myopia, while the control group comprised 187 persons without refractive error. Volunteers underwent routine eye examinations and completed a set of questionnaires about anxiety and depression. Then, the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores were compared between groups, and the relationships between anxiety and the degree of myopia and between depression and the degree of myopia were analyzed. Results:There was a significant difference in anxiety rate between the students with normal vision and those with myopia. The SAS scores among students with mild, moderate, and severe myopia were also significantly different. However, compared with the students with normal vision, the rate of depression was not significantly increased in the students with myopia, except in cases of severe myopia. Additionally, the SAS scores correlated closely with the diopters of the participants' glasses (r = 0.43, p = .045), while the relationship between SDS scores and the diopters of glasses was not significant (r = 0.19, p = .325). Conclusion:There was a correlation between myopia and mental health in adolescent students, especially in terms of anxiety. K E Y W O R D Sadolescent, anxiety, depression, myopia

“…A previous report on young adult law students showed that less exposure to darkness was associated with (self-reported) myopia progression (Loman et al, 2002); however, this study did not quantify the light exposure and used questionnaires to obtain information about night lighting (which may be prone to recall bias). Two recent population based studies, also using questionnaires, assessed various aspects of sleep in children and adults, and reported an inverse relationship between myopia and sleep duration (Ayaki et al, 2016;Jee et al, 2016), with high myopic children (-6.00 D or more) exhibiting the shortest sleep duration (Ayaki et al, 2016), which implies that night time light exposure may play a role in myopia. Considering that these studies included large sample sizes to detect these effects of sleep patterns in myopia (3625 subjects in Jee et al, 2016), further work with larger sample sizes and objective quantification techniques may be required to better understand the effects of night-time light exposure upon myopia in young adults.…”

It is widely accepted that environmental factors play a significant role in regulating eye growth and myopia development. There is also considerable evidence that ambient light exposure is an important environmental risk factor associated with eye growth in children, however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Furthermore, animal studies have shown that diurnal variations in ocular components appear to be involved in the mechanisms controlling eye growth. Animal studies also suggest that altering light exposure disrupts normal diurnal variations and can lead to the development of refractive errors. Despite this evidence, the exact role of light exposure and ocular diurnal rhythms in the regulation of human eye growth, and the interaction between these factors is not well understood. Myopia development and progression have been widely documented in young adults and typically occurs due to axial elongation, but there has been limited research examining the potential impact of ambient light exposure upon eye growth and myopia development and progression in young adults.Therefore, this research examined the habitual light exposure patterns in a population of young adult emmetropes and progressing myopes using objective techniques, and assessed the influence of light exposure upon daily axial length variations and longitudinal axial eye growth in this population. The potential association between daily axial length fluctuations and longer-term changes in axial length was also explored.Since there is no consensus on the optimal sampling strategy required for capturing personal objective light exposure measurements, in the first study, we systematically examined the impact of different measurement durations and measurement frequencies upon objective light exposure measures, in order to determine the optimal sampling strategy to reliably capture habitual light exposure patterns of both children (Age: 11 to vi The influence of light exposure and seasons upon the axial length changes in humans 15 years) and young adults (Age: 18 to 30 years). Ambient light exposure data were obtained using a wrist-worn light sensor (Actiwatch 2), which was configured to measure instantaneous light levels every 30 seconds, 24 hours a day for a period of 14 consecutive days in children (n = 30) and young adults (n = 31). Daily time exposed to bright outdoor (>1000 lux) light levels was derived from the raw 14 days of data with 30 second sampling, and was subsequently derived from data re-sampled from 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 and 2 randomly selected measurement days using 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 minute sampling rates. Calculating daily outdoor light exposure time using a lower number of days and coarser sampling frequencies did not significantly alter the mean time spent in bright (outdoor) light. However, a significant increase in measurement variability occurred for outdoor light exposure derived from less than 8 days and from 3 minutes or coarser measurement frequencies in adults, and from less than 8 days and from 4 minutes or coarser...
