Abstract

Adolescents who experience poor mental health may develop chronic pain. Similarly, those with chronic pain may develop mental health symptoms. Little is known concerning how these co-occurring symptoms are associated with adolescent functioning. Our online cross-sectional quantitative study compared the specific nature of challenges to psychosocial functioning, across 4 groups: (1) adolescents with co-occurring chronic pain and mental health symptoms; (2) adolescents who only experience chronic pain symptoms; (3) adolescents who only experience mental health symptoms, and (4) adolescents who do not report either symptom. Participants completed self-report questionnaires assessing pain experiences, mental health symptoms and psychosocial functioning. After controlling for pain intensity, findings revealed significant differences, in physical, social, and family functioning across all groups. Significantly worse physical functioning was reported by adolescents with co-occurring pain and mental health symptoms and those with pain-only symptoms compared with adolescents with mental health-only symptoms and those without symptoms. Social functioning was significantly worse for adolescents who experienced co-occurring chronic pain and mental health symptoms compared with adolescents who experienced pain-only symptoms, and those with no symptoms. Significantly worse family functioning was reported by adolescents with mental health-only symptoms compared with adolescents reporting pain-only symptoms and no symptoms. Results suggest the combined impact of pain and mental health symptoms mainly influences adolescent social functioning. Future research is needed to develop standardised assessment and treatment plans to facilitate a thorough understanding of symptoms presented by adolescents who experience co-occurring pain and mental health symptoms.This study identifies that the combined impact of pain and mental health symptoms influences adolescent social functioning when compared to adolescents who experience pain-only or those without symptoms. Research is needed to develop standardised assessment and treatment plans to fully understand the symptoms presented by adolescents with co-occurring symptoms.

慢性疼痛和心理健康症状并发对青少年功能的影响,一项横断面调查。
心理健康状况不佳的青少年可能会患上慢性疼痛。同样,患有慢性疼痛的人也可能出现心理健康症状。关于这些并发症状与青少年功能的关系,人们知之甚少。我们的在线横断面定量研究比较了四组青少年在社会心理功能方面所面临挑战的具体性质:(1)同时伴有慢性疼痛和心理健康症状的青少年;(2)仅有慢性疼痛症状的青少年;(3)仅有心理健康症状的青少年;以及(4)没有报告这两种症状的青少年。参与者填写了评估疼痛体验、心理健康症状和社会心理功能的自我报告问卷。在对疼痛强度进行控制后,研究结果显示所有组别在身体、社会和家庭功能方面都存在显著差异。与仅有心理健康症状和没有心理健康症状的青少年相比,同时伴有疼痛和心理健康症状的青少年和仅有疼痛症状的青少年的身体功能明显较差。与仅有疼痛症状和无症状的青少年相比,同时伴有慢性疼痛和精神健康症状的青少年的社会功能明显较差。与仅有疼痛症状和无症状的青少年相比,仅有精神健康症状的青少年的家庭功能明显较差。研究结果表明,疼痛和心理健康症状的综合影响主要是对青少年社会功能的影响。本研究发现,与仅有疼痛症状或无疼痛症状的青少年相比,疼痛和心理健康症状共同影响着青少年的社会功能。我们需要开展研究,制定标准化的评估和治疗计划,以全面了解共患症状的青少年所表现出的症状。
