“…A study by Maher et al 31 evaluating 150 adults longitudinally found a weak positive correlation between physical activity and life satisfaction. Other studies have found similar positive correlations among other populations, including school-aged children, 32 university students, 33 and older adults. 34 The link between physical fitness and positive mood is described in the literature.…”

“…The primary outcome, wellness, was defined and established a priori at initiation of the study design. We classified high wellness as scores ranging from extremely satisfied to neutral (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35) while scores ranging from extremely dissatisfied to slightly dissatisfied (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19) were classified as low wellness. Survey responses with missing wellness scores were removed from analysis.…”

Background: Wellness among resident physicians is important to their well-being and ability to provide clinical care. The relationship between physical activity and wellness among anesthesia residents has not yet been evaluated. We surveyed anesthesia residents to evaluate their levels of physical activity and self-perceived wellness scores. We hypothesized that residents with high self-reported physical activity levels would be more likely to have higher wellness scores. Methods: Three hundred and twenty-three anesthesia residents were invited to participate in this cross-sectional survey study. The survey included questions regarding demographics (age, gender, clinical anesthesia year, work hours), physical activity (based off the US Department of Health and Human Services [USDHHS] guidelines), and wellness (using the Satisfaction With Life Scale). The relationship between wellness and physical activity levels was evaluated. Results: One hundred forty-one residents responded (43.6% response rate). Thirtyeight (27.1%) residents met our activity threshold for physically active. Eighty-six respondents (61.4%) were classified as having high wellness based on their survey answers. No significant associations were found between demographic data and wellness, including age or clinical anesthesia training year. Among those residents who described physical activity consistent with USDHHS guidelines, 29 (76.3%) had high wellness scores. After logistic regression analysis, residents who achieved the physical activity guidelines were more likely to have high wellness scores (odds ratio 2.54, 95% confidence interval 1.13-6.20, P value .03). Conclusions: Anesthesia resident physicians with high physical activity levels had higher self-perceived wellness scores.

“…The most recent paper taken from the authors' own resources was also dedicated to the assessment of the impact of environmental factors on the association between physical activity and adolescent well-being, which is an implementation of conclusions resulting from literature reviews [50]. It made use of the results of a survey of junior secondary school students conducted in 2015 (N = 4085).…”

The impact of physical activity on mental health is widely described in literature. Less attention is given to factors which may modify this correlation, except for gender. The aim of this study was to conduct a qualitative assessment of such papers relating to children and young people. Selected papers were evaluated with regard to additional factors related to family, school and neighborhood. Attention was drawn to the definitions of these variables, the methods of analysis, and the content of the discussion. The starting point for this study included 7 systematic reviews published in 2006-2018. A total of 161 full articles described in detail in those reviews, and representing different research patterns, were selected for qualitative analysis. They met the criteria for the type of publication, mental health outcome, the direction of association, and the age group. A supplementary section of this paper contains a review of Polish literature from the Polish Medical Bibliography, and an analysis of national studies and some more recent papers not included in the analyzed reviews. It was demonstrated that 33 papers analyzed environmental variables to a greater degree than the characteristics of the sample. Twenty-three papers containing the results of statistical analyses were considered to be of particular interest. Almost 50% of these included both the socioeconomic position of the family and the characteristics of the neighborhood. However, only 1 featured stratification of the sample with regard to contextual environmental variables. The obtained results are of great practical importance. Firstly, development of the research into environmental moderators should be advocated. Secondly, the social context in which adolescents grow up should be taken into account when designing intervention programs.

“…Beliefs, attitudes, and skills may influence responses to trauma; therefore, individuals’ coping styles should be considered to better understand the health status of adolescents exposed to violence. Coping involves the cognitive and behavioral responses a person uses to manage stress, is multidimensional, and can be a positive or negative influence . Positive coping (eg, problem‐solving, emotional regulation, positive thinking, cognitive restructuring) includes prosocial behaviors that are focused on self‐care or actively working to change the problem situation .…”

Violence exposure, conflict, and health outcomes in inner‐city African American adolescents

et al. 2019

Purpose To examine relationships among community and school violence exposure, parent‐adolescent conflict, coping style, and self‐reported health in a sample of 432 high‐risk, inner‐city African American adolescents at age 14 years. Design and methods Multiple regression and principal component analysis were used to analyze the secondary data. After controlling for multiple covariates (eg, sex, age, blood lead levels, and socioeconomic status), both violence exposure and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) were related to health outcomes. The survey of exposure to community violence, the safe‐school survey, and the conflict tactics scale were used to measure community violence, school violence, and parent‐adolescent conflict. Coping was evaluated using the general coping scale. The child health illness profile‐adolescent edition was used to obtain self‐reported health measures, and the clinician‐assisted PTSD scale was used to measure PTSS. Results Higher exposure to community violence was associated with less emotional comfort, less family involvement, higher individual risk, and poorer academic and work performance. Parent‐adolescent conflict predicted less physical and emotional comfort and poorer home safety and health. Conclusions Our findings suggest that it is important to evaluate both violence exposure and the responses to the exposure, which can include both PTSS and diverse coping strategies.
