'He told me to calm down and all that': a qualitative study of forms of social support in youth mentoring relationships
(2017)
Brady, Bernadine; Dolan, Pat; Canavan, John
Abstract:
The worldwide growth in formal youth mentoring programmes over the past two decades is partly a response to the perception that young people facing adversity do not have access to supportive relationships with adults and positive role models in their communities to the degree they once had. Formal mentoring programmes facilitate the development of a friendship or match' between an older volunteer and a young person, with the objective of supporting the young persons' personal and social development. Drawing on 66 semi-structured interviews with young people, parents, mentors and caseworkers associated with nine youth mentoring matches in the Big Brothers Big Sisters Programme in Ireland, this paper analyses the forms of social support evident in the mentor-mentee relationships and highlights how the mentoring relationship was perceived to have impacted on the well-being of the young people participating. The findings reflect the consensus in the mentoring literature that c...

“It’s your turn to step into their shoes”: The role of empathy in adolescents experiencing maternal cancer
(2019)
Rodriguez, Leonor; Dolan, Pat
Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the role of empathy in adolescents coping with maternal cancer to identify passive and active empathy forms and the role of these in adolescent coping at a challenging time. Design/methodology/approach This study was a secondary content analysis carried out on 15 adolescent interviews that were analysed to find the evidence of empathy in active and passive forms. Adolescents were between 14 and 20 years of age, their mothers were diagnosed with cancer in the previous 24 months to the interview. Findings The analysis identified more evidence of active forms of empathy than passive directed at ill mothers and their families as helpful behaviours and emotional support. Passive empathy was experienced by adolescents who did not have major changes in their daily routines because of maternal cancer. Both passive and active empathy were perceived as coping mechanisms. Maternal illness motivated adolescents’ empathy and encouraged actions t...

Abstract:
The field of pediatric pain research began in the mid-1970s and has undergone significant growth and development in recent years as evidenced by the variety of books, conferences, and journals on the topic and also the number of disciplines engaged in work in this area. Using categorical and bibliometric meta-trend analysis, this study offers a synthesis of research on pediatric pain published between 1975 and 2010 in peer-reviewed journals. Abstracts from 4256 articles, retrieved from Web of Science, were coded across 4 categories: article type, article topic, type and age of participants, and pain stimulus. The affiliation of the first author and number of citations were also gathered. The results suggest a significant increase in the number of publications over the time period investigated, with 96% of the included articles published since 1990 and most research being multiauthored publications in painfocused journals. First authors were most often from the United States and affi...

Abstract:
Suicide is one of the leading causes of death among young people globally. In light of emerging evidence supporting the effectiveness of school-based suicide prevention programmes, an analysis of cost-effectiveness is required. We aimed to conduct a full cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) of the large pan-European school-based RCT, Saving and Empowering Young Lives in Europe (SEYLE). The health outcomes of interest were suicide attempt and severe suicidal ideation with suicide plans. Adopting a payer’s perspective, three suicide prevention interventions were modelled with a Control over a 12-month time period. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) indicate that the Youth Aware of Mental Health (YAM) programme has the lowest incremental cost per 1% point reduction in incident for both outcomes and per quality adjusted life year (QALY) gained versus the Control. The ICERs reported for YAM were €34.83 and €45.42 per 1% point reduction in incident suicide attempt and incident sev...

Abstract:
This study investigated the cross-cultural differences and similarity in health behaviors between Saudi and British adolescents. A school-based cross-sectional study was conducted at four cities in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh and Al-Khobar; N = 1,648) and Britain (Birmingham and Coventry; N = 1,158). The participants (14–18 year-olds) were randomly selected using a multistage stratified cluster sampling technique. Measurements included anthropometric, screen time, validated physical activity (PA) questionnaire and dietary habits. The overweight/obesity prevalence among Saudi adolescents (38.3%) was significantly (p < 0.001) higher than that found among British adolescents (24.1%). The British adolescents demonstrated higher total PA energy expenditure than Saudi adolescents (means ± SE = 3,804.8 ± 81.5 vs. 2,219.9 ± 65.5 METs-min/week). Inactivity prevalence was significantly (p < 0.001) higher among Saudi adolescents (64%) compared with that of British adolescents (25.5%). The propo...

A group based intervention for adolescents to improve motivation to change sexually abusive behaviour
(2014)
O'Reilly, Gary; Morrison, Tony; Sheerin, Declan; Carr, Alan
Abstract:
This article describes a group based intervention for adolescents designed to improve motivation to change sexually abusive behaviour. The intervention is based upon the Prochaska and DiClemente (1983, 1986) stages of change model and Morrison’s (1998) seven steps in contemplating change model. We have combined these two models to produce “11 Steps of Motivation and Action in Changing Sexually Abusive Behaviour”. These 11 steps form the foundation of this intervention. We describe how we use the 11 steps, with accompanying vignettes describing juvenile sexual abusers at various points along the continuum of change, and question cards, to promote change. Examples of the vignettes are also provided along with a discussion of how they can be used to motivate change, develop healthy group norms in treatment, and set individual goals for clients. Finally we highlight the possibility of future applications of this intervention with male adult abusers, adolescent and adult female abusers, ...

A mixed method evaluation of change in young people attending Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for Adolescents (DBT-A)
(2016)
Hardiman, Sarah
Abstract:
Background: Suicidal behaviour among adolescents is considered a significant public health concern. It is associated with an array of risk factors and complex mental health problems, in particular, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). There is a reluctance to diagnose BPD during adolescence given the absence of a stable personality structure. However, there exists a cohort of adolescents attending Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services in Ireland presenting with ongoing, pervasive difficulties and co-morbid psychopathology. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for Adolescents (DBT-A), an adapted version of standard DBT, was developed with this cohort in mind. Given the relative recency of its development, research on the efficacy of DBT-A is in its infancy. Research to date examining the effectiveness of DBTA has predominantly focussed on symptom reduction pre- and post- treatment using quantitative research methods and has shown promising results. Less is known about how or why cha...

A phenotypic structure and neural correlates of compulsive behaviors in adolescents.
(2013)
GARAVAN, HUGH; WHELAN, ROBERT
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: A compulsivity spectrum has been hypothesized to exist across Obsessive-Compulsive disorder (OCD), Eating Disorders (ED), substance abuse (SA) and binge-drinking (BD). The objective was to examine the validity of this compulsivity spectrum, and differentiate it from an externalizing behaviors dimension, but also to look at hypothesized personality and neural correlates. METHOD: A community-sample of adolescents (N=1938; mean age 14.5 years), and their parents were recruited via high-schools in 8 European study sites. Data on adolescents' psychiatric symptoms, DSM diagnoses (DAWBA) and substance use behaviors (AUDIT and ESPAD) were collected through adolescent- and parent-reported questionnaires and interviews. The phenotypic structure of compulsive behaviors was then tested using structural equation modeling. The model was validated using personality variables (NEO-FFI and TCI), and Voxel-Based Morphometry (VBM) analysis. RESULTS: Compulsivity symptoms best fit a...

A qualitative study of the perceived relevance of social media platforms in friendship formation for post primary students
(2020)
Pierce, Helen
Abstract:
The overall aim of this qualitative study is to explore the perceived relevance of social media platforms on the friendships of adolescents. In particular, the study focuses on the lived experiences of a sample of post primary students and their perceptions of the relevance of social media in their everyday lives. There has been much research conducted to date on the merits and shortcomings of social media and the effect it has on the lives of adolescents (Alzahrani and Bach 2014; Boyd and Ellison 2008; Kennedy and Lynch 2016; Lynch 2014; Van Dijck 2013; Velten and Arif 2016). The current research in this area predominantly represents the opinions of developmental psychologists and guidance counsellors. When the views of adolescents are considered the research tends towards the positive attributes and the dangers associated with the ever-changing face of the smart phones. The researcher considered there to be a gap for such a study that portrays the voice of the adolescent and their...

Abstract:
There is a complex relationship between social media use and mental health outcomes. To explore this complexity and understand how social media influence adolescent mental health, a two-phase, explanatory sequential mixed-method study will be conducted. Firstly, the quantitative phase will involve surveying a healthy sample of 400 adolescents attending secondary schools in the UK (n=200) and Turkey (n=200). We will use the survey to investigate the moderating effect of relational orientation in a cross-sectional study, in which participants will be selected from secondary schools in England or the United Kingdom and in Turkey. Secondly, the qualitative phase will involve interviewing a mixed sample of 12 clinical and non-clinical adolescents in England or the UK. In these interviews we will explore key quantitative findings in more detail, for example, how and why adolescents use social media, and the role of social media in the development and maintenance of mental health well-bein...

Abstract:
Background: This systematic review provides a narrative synthesis of the evidence on the effectiveness of mental health promotion interventions for young people in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Commissioned by the WHO, a review of the evidence for mental health promotion interventions across the lifespan from early years to adulthood was conducted. This paper reports on the findings for interventions promoting the positive mental health of young people (aged 6-18 years) in school and community-based settings. Methods: Searching a range of electronic databases, 22 studies employing RCTs (N = 11) and quasi-experimental designs conducted in LMICs since 2000 were identified. Fourteen studies of school-based interventions implemented in eight LMICs were reviewed; seven of which included interventions for children living in areas of armed conflict and six interventions of multicomponent lifeskills and resilience training.

A systematic review: the influence of social media on depression, anxiety and psychological distress in adolescents
(2019)
Keles, Betul; McCrae, Niall; Grealish, Annmarie
Abstract:
While becoming inextricable to our daily lives, online social media are blamed for increasing mental health problems in younger people. This systematic review synthesized evidence on the influence of social media use on depression, anxiety and psychological distress in adolescents. A search of PsycINFO, Medline, Embase, CINAHL and SSCI databases reaped 13 eligible studies, of which 12 were cross-sectional. Findings were classified into four domains of social media: time spent, activity, investment and addiction. All domains correlated with depression, anxiety and psychological distress. However, there are considerable caveats due to methodological limitations of cross-sectional design, sampling and measures. Mechanisms of the putative effects of social media on mental health should be explored further through qualitative enquiry and longitudinal cohort studies.

Adolescents and their aspirations for private car‑based transport
(2019)
Hopkins, Debbie; Bengoechea, Enrique García; Mandic, Sandra
Abstract:
The need to transition away from the current car-dominated transport system is well documented in sustainability, health and transportation literatures. Despite growing interest in active and public transport modes, the car still dominates travel preferences for most age groups. There is, however, some evidence of declining preferences for car-based travel for younger generations. In this paper, we use empirical material gathered through a mixed methods study of high school students in Dunedin, New Zealand, to explore the aspirations of adolescents for private car-based transport. We present and interpret findings from a quantitative survey of high school students (n = 1240) and qualitative focus groups (n = 10 focus groups, 54 participants). Contrary to somewhat optimistic reports of reduced aspiration for driving and cars, we find evidence of ongoing preference for car-based transport, and intentions to learn to drive amongst the cohort of young urban millennials. The findings sig...

Abstract:
This research project considers a frequently ignored dimension of adolescent sexual abuse, the parents and families of the adolescent perpetrator. This study focuses on eliciting professionals‟ views of the impact on the family when an adolescent member has sexually abused. The context for the study is outlined with an account of the prevalence of and explanations for adolescent sexual abuse. The study proceeds to look at legislation and the impact on labelling. Areas relating to the family on the impact of disclosure, parental reactions and the process of engagement are explored. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five professionals working within the child welfare and criminal justice system who worked with young people who had sexually abused and their families. The purpose of the study was to explore with professionals their perceived perception of the impact having an adolescent sexual abusing member has on families, from their contact with family members.

Adolescents' perceptions of the words 'health' and 'happy'
(2011)

Abstract:
Purpose - The shared language of youth includes understandings of concepts that can be different from those of adults. Researchers, in their efforts to explore and illuminate the health behaviours and decision-making processes of young people, use generic terms in their data collecting protocols. This study aims to explore what adolescents understand by the words 'healthy' and 'happy'. Design/methodology/approach - Semi-structured interviews were conducted in three post-primary schools with 31 students aged 12 and 13 years. Drawing on a grounded theory approach, interviews were transcribed and subjected to thematic content analysis. Findings - The students provided a description and explanation of what health and happiness meant to them and how they intended to maintain both as they grew older. Perceptions of these two concepts were found to contain gendered nuances. This was clear in relation to descriptions of how friends were part of well-being; the girls ...

Abstract:
This paper presents qualitative data from Irish children and adolescents on their experiences in relation to alcohol consumption. A sample of 78 participants (average age 11.5 years) was selected. A proportion of this initial sample were interviewed at intervals over a period of 3 years. The participants’ consumption patterns were analyzed and four categories were generated: covert unsanctioned, overt unsanctioned, overt sanctioned, and peer unsanctioned. As the children got older, peer drinking became a stronger feature of the data; however, it mediated other patterns of behavior. Although the children displayed agency in circumventing adult rules relating to alcohol consumption, the participants were subjected to structural constraints by virtue of their status as children. Moreover, the agentic powers of the participants were procured through their social network rather than arising from an essentialist agency possessed by each individual child. The impact of childhood as a struc...

An evaluation of the measurement properties of the five cs model of positive youth development
(2018)
Conway, Ronan J.; Heary, Caroline; Hogan, Michael J.
Abstract:
There is growing recognition of the need to develop acceptable measures of adolescent's positive attributes in diverse contexts. The current study evaluated the measurement properties of the Five Cs model of Positive Youth Development (PYD) scale (Lerner et al., 2005) using a sample of 672 Irish adolescents. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that a five-factor model provided a good fit to the data. The internal reliability and construct validity of the Five Cs model were supported, with character the strongest predictor of contribution, while connection was the strongest predictor of risky-behaviors. Notably, confidence was significantly negatively related to contribution, and positively related to risky behaviors. Multi group hierarchical nested models supported measurement invariance across early- (11-14 years) and late- (15-19 years) adolescent age groups, with partial invariance found across gender. Younger adolescents evinced higher PYD, while PYD was associated with ...

An evaluation of the SPARX-R computerised mental health programme for improving mental health and wellbeing among adolescents attending alternative education
(2018)
Kuosmanen, Tuuli
Abstract:
Introduction International evidence suggests that youth who leave mainstream education early have poorer mental health and social outcomes than their peers. In the European Union, 11.1% of youth leave mainstream education before completing upper-secondary school. Early school leaving is associated with challenging home environments and parents’ socio-economic background, and is likely to result in further disadvantage by limiting the young person’s access to employment or further education and training. In Ireland, an alternative education (AE) programme, Youthreach, provides an opportunity for young people who have left school early to achieve second level qualifications and vocational training. However, the social, personal and educational challenges experienced by many of these young people highlight the need for effective strategies to build resilience and improve the mental health and wellbeing among AE students to ensure successful completion of their studies and prevent men...

Abstract:
The overall aim of this qualitative study was to explore the perceptions of Guidance Counsellors on smartphone usage amongst adolescents in post-primary schools. In particular this study focuses on the perceived effects of smartphone usage in adolescence and investigates these effects and consequences of smartphone usage for this cohort. The researcher considers that a gap for such interpretivist research exists as there appears to be limited research on smartphone usage in adolescence thus far in post-primary education. The topic is important to understand in order to support the wellbeing of young people in this proverbial global village. This study explores the prevalent issues in post-primary secondary schools concerning smartphones and how their use may be impacting both the school teaching environment and the work of the guidance counsellor (Bimrose et al. 2015; Cotter and McGilloway 2011; Ging and O’Higgins Norman 2016). An interpretive paradigm was employed using semi-struct...
