Background
The prevalence of anxiety among adolescents has seen a notable increase in recent years, becoming a significant public health concern. In fact, anxiety is substantially more prevalent in Generation Z (individuals born between 1997 and 2012) than in any of the past three generations. We aimed to examine what factors contribute to the increased prevalence in teen anxiety and identify points of intervention.
Methods
This study employed a narrative review method. We performed a literature search of the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Medline databases and identified original research and review articles discussing increased anxiety and other mental health disorders in Generation Z.
Results
We provide a comprehensive overview of the factors contributing to the increased rates of adolescent anxiety, including academic pressures, social media influence, family dynamics, and broader societal stressors.
Conclusions
In this narrative review, we examine the multifaceted nature of adolescent anxiety, identifying contributing factors. Additionally, we discuss potential clinical, educational, and community-based interventions to prevent and treat adolescent anxiety. By understanding and addressing the underlying causes of anxiety, it is possible to mitigate its impact and promote healthier developmental trajectories for young individuals.

Problems
Family caregivers of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (FC-ASD) have been reported to experience high levels of physical and psychological distress. This bibliometric study aimed to analyze the research trends, collaboration and knowledge dissemination pertaining to FC-ASD over the past 20 years.
Methods
This study provided an analysis of documents indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), published from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2022. VOSviewer and R Package “bibliometrix” were used to conduct performance analysis, coauthorship analysis and keyword co-occurrence analysis.
Findings
A total of 9522 articles were included in this study. The number of annual publications has increased sharply. The United States of America demonstrated the highest scientific productivity, and Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders published the most papers on this topic. Clusters of research hotspots suggested five primary areas received considerable attention, including caregivers' burden and psychiatric problems, needs and experiences, skills training and intervention, reports of ASD symptoms, comorbidities and prevalence, as well as specific populations and periods of FC-ASD.
Conclusions
Over the past two decades, there has been a progressive increase in the number of publications in the field of FC-ASD. There is a need for further research focused on multidisciplinary, family-centered and telehealth-based interventions, as well as qualitative studies aimed at exploring the experiences of FC-ASD.

Only children and young people with the highest need for mental health care or support are admitted to an inpatient setting. There has been a recent shift in emphasis with the aim of inpatient care being short and focussed, care is transferred back to the community on discharge. Little is known about what young people and their parents understand about admission and discharge criteria to these inpatient facilities.
Purpose
This exploratory study aimed to explore the perspectives of young people (aged 18–25) and parents of young people regarding the reasons for their past admissions (or nonadmission) to inpatient child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS), including beliefs concerning the reasons for subsequent discharge.
Methodology
Data were conducted in various ways according to participant preference either in person telephone or written interview. Participants were young people (n = 5) or parents of young people (n = 5). Thematic analysis was used to identify emerging themes collaboratively.
Results
Based on the three themes that were identified: power control and choice, seeking knowledge and taking control, and conflicting notions of recovery and health we found that young people and their patents were engaged in a complex interaction in which they played the admission game; negotiating admission or discharge through behaviors and counterbalancing risks and benefits.
Conclusion
Understanding the complexity of this interaction may help professionals, including nurses to support patients and their families during the admission, care planning or discharge process and to recognize risks to prevent them escalating.

Stigma against mental health problems is a common issue for adolescents aged 14–18 years. However, comprehensive programs that simultaneously address awareness and stigma reduction tailored to the specific needs of this age group are lacking.
Method
This study investigated the effectiveness of the Mental Health Awareness and Destigmatisation Program (MHAD) in reducing stigma and improving knowledge and attitudes towards peers with mental health problems. A quasi-experimental pre-post design was employed among adolescents aged 14–18 years from an educational institution in Bangalore. After excluding those with high baseline mental health symptoms (PSC-17 > 20), a preassessment was conducted on adolescents' knowledge, attitude, and stigma (n = 52) using the Mental Health Knowledge Schedule, Self-structured Case Vignettes, and Peer Mental Health Stigmatization Scale. After completing the 6-week program, three participants were excluded from the post-assessment, as their attendance was less than 50%. A total of 49 (mean age = 16 years) adolescents were included in the post-assessment.
Results
The paired sample t-test revealed significant improvements in all stigma scores. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test indicated a significant improvement in Recognition of Mental Illness scores.
Conclusion
Findings showed that MHAD, an education-based program, was effective in reducing adolescents' stigma towards peers with mental health problems and improving their overall recognition of mental health symptoms. Research across larger adolescent populations is essential to enhance these interventions' long-term impact and sustainability. By closely monitoring and expanding research efforts, we can gain deeper insights into how these programs foster self-awareness, a crucial factor in recognizing mental health needs, challenging stigma, and promoting help-seeking behaviors among adolescents.

The association of pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (POMS) and psychosis remains rare and unclear in the literature. We aim to elucidate the association between POMS and psychosis across case reports.
Methods
We report a case of schizophrenia (SCZ) revealing POMS. We conducted a systematic review of case reports adhered to PRISMA 2020. We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Cochrane for case reports describing psychoses in POMS cases.
Findings
We presented a 21-year-old male who developed psychotic symptoms at 16 and was diagnosed with SCZ at 18. Regarding the treatment-resistant SCZ, neurological assessment led to POMS. The patient had a favorable outcome after POMS management. Moreover, our systematic review of nine cases revealed that most psychoses began before or concomitant to the POMS diagnosis, highlighting a delay in identifying POMS. SCZ and BP were the most common types of psychosis observed. We observed a predominance of males with a median age at psychosis onset was 15 years (12.5–16.5 years). Treatment-resistant SCZ was noted in one study along aside with our case. All cases had a good evolution after POMS management.
Conclusion
Our study suggested a critical link between POMS and psychosis emphasizing the need for thorough evaluation, early diagnosis, and prompt management. This association highlights the importance of recognizing psychotic symptoms as potential indicators of POMS, particularly in males.
问题：小儿多发性硬化症（POMS）与精神病的关系在文献中仍然罕见且不明确。我们旨在通过病例报告阐明POMS与精神病之间的关联：我们报告了一例揭示了POMS的精神分裂症（SCZ）病例。我们按照 PRISMA 2020 对病例报告进行了系统性回顾。我们在PubMed、Google Scholar、Web of Science和Cochrane上搜索了描述POMS病例中精神病的病例报告：我们介绍了一名21岁的男性患者，他16岁时出现精神病症状，18岁时被诊断为SCZ。对于治疗耐药的SCZ，神经评估结果显示其患有POMS。该患者在接受POMS治疗后取得了良好的疗效。此外，我们对9个病例进行的系统回顾显示，大多数精神病都是在POMS诊断之前或同时开始的，这凸显了POMS诊断的延迟。SCZ和BP是最常见的精神病类型。我们观察到患者中男性居多，发病年龄中位数为15岁（12.5-16.5岁）。除了我们的病例外，还有一项研究发现了耐药的 SCZ。所有病例在接受POMS治疗后均有良好的发展：我们的研究表明，POMS与精神病之间存在重要联系，强调了全面评估、早期诊断和及时治疗的必要性。这种联系强调了将精神病症状视为POMS潜在指标的重要性，尤其是在男性患者中。

This was a cross-sectional and descriptive study to determine the social media and Internet addiction levels of adolescents.
Design and Methods
The data were collected between September and December 2023. A sociodemographic data collection form, The Social Media Addiction Scale for Adolescents, and The Internet Addiction Scale for Adolescents were used to collect data. An independent sample t-test was used to compare the mean differences between the two groups. A one-way ANOVA test was used to compare mean differences between multiple groups, and Pearson's correlation analysis was used to examine the relationships between quantitative variables and scale scores.
Results
No significant relationship was found between adolescents' gender and age and addiction levels (p > 0.05). On the other hand, addiction levels differed significantly by school type and district (p < 0.05). Students in selective schools and secondary schools had lower addiction levels, and those in open-admission high schools had higher addiction levels (p < 0.05). The highest level of addiction was found in Çankaya district and the lowest in Altındağ district. Daily online time and social media time increased addiction (p < 0.05). Safe Internet use and receiving support from nurses affected addiction levels (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
The results show that adolescents aged 12−18 years are at significant risk of social media and Internet addiction. Therefore, it is recommended that nurses support these young people, assess their risks, and identify specific tasks.

Background
Wildfires are occurring more often and with greater intensity, leading to longer and harsher fire seasons. As a result, children are more frequently exposed to wildfire smoke, which increases their risk of mental and physical health effects.
Purpose
The purpose of our scoping review is to explore the current literature on what is known about the direct and indirect impacts of wildfires on the mental and physical health of school-age children in North America (5 to 18-year-olds).
Methods
A health sciences librarian-assisted literature search, with input from the research team, was performed.
Results
A total of 16 studies were selected. Common mental health symptoms such as anxiety, depression, suicidal thinking, and post-traumatic stress disorder have been identified. The findings of this review are in line with recent studies showing a connection between adult wildfire exposure and respiratory conditions; however, no cardiovascular health effects in children were identified.
Conclusions
The available studies in our review demonstrate that wildfires do increase the impacts on both mental and physical health postexposure in school-age children. Future research should specifically include larger samples, more qualitative and longitudinal studies that can more effectively analyze the effects of wildfire events on psychological factors over time, conceptual frameworks, and exposure metrics specific for PM2.5 from wildfire smoke.

The study was conducted to determine the relationship between social media addiction and perceived stress in adolescents.
Method
The study was conducted in a descriptive and cross-sectional design between September and December 2022 in secondary education institutions of the Provincial Directorate of National Education in a city center in eastern Turkey. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 716 adolescents who were studying in the ninth grade (145), 10th grade (198), 11th grade (216), and 12th grade (157) who met the inclusion criteria of the study at the time the study was conducted. The sample comprised individuals with diverse sociodemographic characteristics, including ages, genders, school success levels, parents’ education levels, parents’ job status, socioeconomic status, time spent on daily social media, and purposes of social media use of the adolescents. The “Sociodemographic Characteristics Form,” “Social Media Addiction Scale for Adolescents (SMASA),” and “Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)” were used as the data collection tools. Ethical principles were fulfilled in the study.
Results
It was found that the average age of the adolescents who participated in the study was 15.71 ± 1.22, 58.1% were females, 41.1% had good school success, 90.5% had a mobile phone, 90.2% used WhatsApp, 56.8% said that their daily social media use time was between 1 and 3 h, and 64% said that their purpose of using social media was for entertainment and leisure. The mean SMASA score was 18.49 ± 6.98, and the mean PSS score was 42.11 ± 7.54. It was found in the study that the mother's employment status, phone ownership status, use of Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Snapchat, YouTube, TikTok, and LinkedIn accounts, daily social media use, time and purposes of using social media affected the mean SMASA score. Age, gender, school success, use of Instagram and Snapchat accounts, daily social media use time, and purposes of using social media affected the mean PSS score (p < 0.05). As a result of the study, a positive and low-level significant relationship was detected between social media addiction and perceived stress levels (p < 0.01).
Conclusion
As the levels of social media addiction increase in adolescents, the perceived stress levels also increase. It was also found that some variables affected the social media addiction and perceived stress levels of adolescents.
