“…The sample size was calculated based on the standard deviation of PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores of depressed adolescents from previous studies [ 19 - 21 ], which was the primary outcome of this study. G*Power 3.1.9.2 program (Heinrich Heine University, Dusseldorf, Germany) was used to perform a sample size estimation.…”

Objective This study aimed to explore the psychiatric symptoms and associated risk and protective factors among religious adolescents after 2-month home confinement against coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) in China.Methods 11,603 Chinese adolescents in grades 7–9 were recruited in this survey. An online survey was designed to collect the data. Participants were measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 Scale.Results Religious adolescents showed significantly more severe depressive and anxiety symptoms compared to non-religious. 249 (2.2%) reported COVID-19 exposure. Logistic regression analysis revealed that religiosity was a risk factor for the symptoms of depression (p=0.001) and anxiety (p<0.001). Moreover, among those adolescents with religious beliefs, psychological resilience was protective in preventing depressive and anxiety symptoms. At the same time, emotional abuse, emotional neglect, and a poor parent-child relationship were risk factors.Conclusion Our finding indicates that religious adolescents easily develop depressive and anxiety symptoms, compared to non-religious adolescents. Moreover, those with emotional abuse, emotional abuse, and poor parent-child relationships are more likely to suffer from mental distress and should pay more attention to cope with their mental health.

“…A study on the development and changes in depression during adolescence showed that middle and late adolescence (15–18 years old) is a critical period for susceptibility to depression because the incidence of depression is higher during this period ( 16 ). In a study of the impact of schooling on depressive symptoms in Chinese adolescents before the COVID-19 outbreak, it was found that the negative impact of schooling on the mental health of Chinese adolescents was even greater than that of the epidemic and home isolation, and that secondary school students were subjected to unprecedentedly high levels of pressure to advance to higher levels of schooling, which may have had a greater impact on the incidence of depression among secondary school students ( 17 ). In addition, in a study of 1,314 schoolchildren on the impact of poverty mediated by family social capital on children's anxiety and depression, it was shown that poverty had a significant direct impact on children's anxiety and depression ( 18 ).…”

BackgroundDepression rates among adolescents have risen dramatically over the past decade. Therefore, preventing depression among adolescents is particularly important. Differences in lifestyle habits may play a role in depression.PurposeThis study aimed to explore the influence of living habits on depression levels among rural middle school students in Northeast China and to provide a theoretical basis for developing interventions to reduce depression levels in middle school students.MethodsA total of 296 middle school students aged 13–15 years from Benxi City, Northeast China completed the anthropometric measurements, Physical Activity Scale-3 (PARS-3), and the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). Their average screen time in the most recent week, parents' education level, and monthly family income were collected through a questionnaire.ResultsFemales had higher depression scores than males (41.0 ± 6.9 vs. 37.9 ± 8.0). Physical activity (β = −0.38, t = −7.06, P < 0.01), family income (β = −0.20, t = −4.07, P < 0.01), screen time (β = 0.16, t = 3.34, P < 0.01), age (β = 0.15, t = 3.16, P < 0.01), sex (β = −0.13, t = −2.74, P < 0.01), and sleep quality (β = −0.08, t = −1.87, P < 0.01) are important factors related to depression levels.ConclusionThe preliminary analysis results showed that among middle school students in rural Northeast China, the depression level of females was significantly higher than that of males. Poor quality sleep, low levels of physical activity, low household income, and long screen time were positively associated with depression. Therefore, strengthening physical activity, improving sleep quality, and reducing screen time are of clinical relevance in preventing and reducing depression.

This paper reports an experimental and numerical study on the spherical indentation behavior of three-dimensional (3D) warp-knitted mesh fabrics. A full-size finite element (FE) model of a typical 3D mesh fabric is established at the yarn level based on the realistic monofilament architecture from micro-computed tomography (μCT) scanning and verified with experiments. The structural change of the fabric in the spherical indentation process is quantitatively analyzed in terms of fabric global deformation, local deformation, mesh deformation, and spacer monofilament deformation from the FE simulation. The numerical results show that the fabric shrinks walewise and expands coursewise from the spherical indentation of the continuous intermeshed monofilament architecture, showing counterintuitive partial auxeticity. The coursewise symmetry and walewise asymmetry of the 3D mesh fabric produce relatively symmetrical coursewise deformation and asymmetrical walewise deformation under spherical indentation. The symmetrical coursewise deformation includes even widening, good fitting of the indenter, and almost identical mesh sizes in the coursewise direction. Walewise asymmetry leads to uneven shortening, inferior fitting of the indenter, and considerably varied mesh sizes in the walewise direction. Spacer monofilaments in different positions relative to the spherical indenter have different deformations. The closer to the indenter, the greater bending and twisting of the spacer monofilament. The spacer monofilament knitted earlier of the tested fabric has smaller deformation than that knitted later due to the walewise asymmetry. The coursewise symmetry and walewise asymmetry of the inhomogeneous 3D mesh fabric structure result in a highly nonlinear spherical indentation behavior.
