“…The total scores range from 0 to 20. The instrument has high internal consistency in Spanish samples (de la Vega et al, 2016). Higher scores on the CDI-S indicate greater depressive symptomatology.…”

Being Bullied at School: Gratitude as Potential Protective Factor for Suicide Risk in Adolescents

et al. 2019

Bullying victimization has been recognized as a risk factor for social, physical, and psychological problems in adolescence. One promising resource that seems to protect adolescents from adversity and traumatic events is gratitude. However, no analysis of the specific role of gratitude in bullying context has been performed as yet. Thus, the aim of this research was to explore the associations between bullying victimization, gratitude and suicide risk (i.e., depressive symptoms and suicidal thoughts and behaviors) and gender-based differences. We also investigated whether levels of gratitude moderated the relationship between victimization and suicide risk for girls and boys. A convenience sample of 1,617 adolescents (50.5% girls; M age = 14.02) participated in this research. Adolescents completed a paper-and-pencil questionnaire about their bullying victimization, gratitude, depressive symptoms and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Gratitude was found to be negatively related to victimization and suicide risk. While no gender differences were found in gratitude, it was observed that girls reported higher levels of suicide risk. However, the victimization × gratitude interaction contributed to variance in suicide risk, but only for girls: Those girls who were victims of bullying with high gratitude scores reported lower suicide risk than their counterparts who showed less gratitude. Thus, the findings from this present cross-sectional study suggest that gratitude is related to suicide risk in the context of bullying victimization, especially among adolescent girls. Finally, the theoretical and practical implications of our novel contributions to the understanding of gratitude as a protective factor against consequences of bullying victimization are discussed.

Investing in adolescent girls’ nutrition is vital for health and breaking intergenerational cycle of malnutrition and deprivation, but limited knowledge on the type, timing and efficacy of interventions delays progress. We describe the design of a 26-weeks randomised placebo-controlled trial with multiple-micronutrient fortified biscuits (MMB) among adolescent girls in north-eastern Ghana. Apparently healthy pre-menarche (n = 312) and post-menarche (n = 309) girls (10–17 yrs.) were randomised into receiving 5-day per week (i) MMB (fortified with 11 vitamins and 7 minerals) or (ii) unfortified biscuits. Data included plasma micronutrient status; anthropometry; body composition; cognitive function; psychosocial health; fertility; dietary intake, and socio-demographic and socio-economic covariates, complemented with in-depth interviews (n = 30) and 4 focus group discussions. We hypothesize that plasma ferritin and retinol-binding protein increase with a resultant increase in haemoglobin, cognition, vertical height and psychosocial health. Our study allows determining the efficacy and optimal timing of a multiple-micronutrient food intervention programme for adolescent girls.

The objective of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the extent to which non-pain intensity factors influence the ratings of pain intensity on two commonly used measures: the Wong-Baker Faces pain rating scale (FACES) and the Verbal Rating Scale (VRS) in a sample of youths with physical disabilities and bothersome pain. Study participants came from a convenience sample of 115 youths (age: = 14.4 years; SD = 3.3), who participated in a survey on the impact of pain in young people with a physical disability. They were administered measures of pain intensity, pain catastrophizing, depressive symptoms, pain interference, and pain control beliefs. Zero-order correlation analyses were used to examine the associations among the pain intensity scores, while regression analyses were used to test the influence of the non-pain intensity factors on the pain intensity scores. Although pain intensity scores from all scales were significantly associated with one another, the correlations were moderate. Regression analyses showed that the FACES and VRS also reflect pain interference, in addition to pain intensity. The fact that the FACES and VRS ratings reflect more than pain intensity should be considered when selecting a pain measure. The results of this study also provide information to help interpret results after treatment.
