“…Through our analysis, we identified several crucial symptoms and edges, which offer potential targets and pathways for interventions. The observed comorbidity between EDs and depression partially aligns with the findings from a network analysis conducted among Chilean university students ( 44 ), which additionally highlighted the central role of physical anxiety symptoms in EDs.…”

BackgroundEating disorders (EDs) and depression are common in university students, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to elucidate characteristics of EDs and depression symptoms networks among Chinese university students in the later stage of the COVID-19 pandemic in China.MethodsA total of 929 university students completed the SCOFF questionnaire measuring EDs and Patient Health Questionnaire with 9 items (PHQ-9) measuring depression in Guangzhou, China. The network model was applied to identify central symptoms, bridge symptoms, and important connections between SCOFF and PHQ-9 using R studio. The subgroup analyses of both genders in medical and non-medical students were further explored.ResultsIn the networks of the whole sample, central symptoms included “Loss of control over eating” (EDs) and “Appetite changes” (depression). The bridge connections were between “Loss of control over eating” (EDs) and “Appetite changes” (depression), between “Deliberate vomiting” (EDs) and “Thoughts of death” (depression). “Appetite changes” (depression) and “Feeling of worthlessness” (depression) were central symptoms in both subgroups of medical and non-medical students. “Fatigue” (depression) was the central symptom in the female and medical students group. The edge between “Loss of control over eating” (EDs) and “Appetite changes” (depression) acted as a bridge in all subgroups.ConclusionSocial network approaches offered promising ways of further understanding the association between EDs and depression among university students during the pandemic of COVID-19 in China. Investigations targeting central and bridge symptoms would help to develop effective treatments for both EDs and depression for this population.

“…En Cuba, un estudio encontró que aquellos que presentaron conducta suicida tuvieron puntuaciones más altas en las variables de depresión e ideación suicida (28). Asimismo, estudiantes universitarios chilenos presentaron asociaciones específicas entre los síntomas de ansiedad física, los síntomas depresivos cognitivos y físicos, los síntomas de trastornos alimentarios y la ideación suicida (29). En Colombia, los factores asociados con la ideación suicida fueron la desesperanza y la depresión (15).…”

“…According to the family system theory, the family is composed of several subsystems, which are both interrelated and restricted to each other, so as to make the whole family operate effectively. Previous studies have shown that family function is an important predictor of individual PTSD, depression, and anxiety ( 34 – 36 ), and a favorable family environment and parental support can play a protective role in adolescent PTG ( 37 ). The risks posed by COVID-19 have a negative impact on family wellbeing.…”

BackgroundSince the end of 2019, Corona Virus Disease 2019, also known as COVID-19, has broken out in various countries. However, the change of China's COVID-19 prevention and control policy and the sharp increase in the number of infected people are making the teenagers have post-traumatic reactions. Negative post-traumatic reactions include: post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety. Positive post-traumatic reaction mainly refers to post-traumatic growth (PTG). The purpose of this study is to explore the post-traumatic reaction, which refers to PTSD, depression, anxiety and the co-occurrence pattern of growth after trauma and to further explore the influence of family function on different categories of Post-traumatic Reactions.MethodsLatent profile analysis (LPA) was used to explore the co-occurrence of PTSD, depression, anxiety, and PTG. Multiple logistics regression was used to analyze the influence of family function on different categories of post-traumatic response.ResultsThere were three categories of post-traumatic reactions in adolescents infected with COVID-19 adolescents infected with COVID-19, namely: growth class, struggling class, and pain class. Multivariate Logistic regression showed that the growth class and struggling class were affected by problem solving and behavior control in family function, while the growth class and pain class were affected by problem solving, roles, behavior control, and general functioning. Multiple logistic regression showed that the growth class and struggling class were affected by problem solving and roles.ConclusionsThe findings of this study provide evidence for the identification of high-risk individuals and the provision of effective interventions in clinical practice, as well as the influence of family functioning on the different categories of PTSD among adolescents infected with COVID-19.
