Stressful conditions during the lockdown and the reintroduction to a changed social environment emotionally affected children and adolescents. The aim of this work was to study anxiety and depressive symptoms in Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese children and adolescents aged 3 to 18 years at different moments of the COVID-19 pandemic: April 2020 (during confinement), September 2020 (with the schools' reopening), and September 2023 (with the situation restored). Parents of 1,097 children participated in at least one assessment, completing measures of child emotional symptoms online. Cases with subclinical symptoms of anxiety and depression were higher compared to pre-pandemic studies. Overall, anxiety increased from April 2020 to September 2020, decreasing in September 2023 with no differences compared to the first assessment. Depression was high in April 2020 but decreased in September 2020, with no significant differences three years later, in September 2023. Cross-country comparisons at each point are discussed. Moreover, boys showed higher levels of depression during the pandemic compared to girls. Older children, compared to younger ones, had more anxiety and depressive symptoms throughout all the moments. These findings highlight the emotional impact of the pandemic and its conditions on children and adolescents.

Benefits of Super Skills for Life in a randomized controlled trial in clinical settings for Spanish children with comorbid conditions / Sara DIEGO in Development and Psychopathology, 36-4 (October 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 36-4 (October 2024) . - p.1821-1830 Titre : Benefits of Super Skills for Life in a randomized controlled trial in clinical settings for Spanish children with comorbid conditions Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sara DIEGO, Auteur ; Alexandra MORALES, Auteur ; Mireia ORGILES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1821-1830 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Disorder  children  comorbidity  transdiagnostic  treatment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Emotional disorders in children are often associated with low self-concept and problems with peers, and in many cases externalizing symptoms. Super Skills for Life (SSL) is a transdiagnostic treatment for emotional problems in children that has also shown benefits in other comorbid symptoms. This study aimed to examine, for the first time, the effect of SSL on a clinical sample of Spanish children aged 8-12 years with a major emotional disorder and comorbid externalizing symptoms and low self-concept. A quasi-experimental design with two groups, pretest and posttest, was carried out. Thirty-eight children received the SSL intervention, and 36 children were assigned to a wait-list control (WLC) group. Children in SSL showed statistically fewer posttest emotional symptoms (p < .001), peer problems (p = .002), and overall internalizing and externalizing difficulties (p = .005) compared to children in WLC, in addition to higher posttest self-concept (p = .002). There were no differences in the postinterventional changes between boys and girls in internalizing and externalizing symptoms. However, significant differences were found in some facets of self-concept. The results of this study suggest that the SSL protocol may be useful in Spanish clinical contexts. Still, more research is needed to overcome some of the inherent limitations.

Who benefits most from an evidence-based program to reduce anxiety and depression in children? A latent profile analysis / Silvia MELERO in Development and Psychopathology, 34-4 (October 2022)  

Public ISBD [article]  inDevelopment and Psychopathology > 34-4 (October 2022) . - p.1636-1644 Titre : Who benefits most from an evidence-based program to reduce anxiety and depression in children? A latent profile analysis Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Silvia MELERO, Auteur ; Alexandra MORALES, Auteur ; Samuel TOMCZYK, Auteur ; José Pedro ESPADA, Auteur ; Mireia ORGILES, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1636-1644 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adolescent  Anxiety/therapy  Anxiety Disorders/prevention & control  Child  Cognitive Behavioral Therapy/methods  Depression/epidemiology/therapy  Fear  Female  Humans  Male  anxiety  children  depression  latent transition analysis  prevention Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Comorbidity between anxiety and depression symptoms is often high in children. Person-oriented statistical approaches are useful to detect heterogeneity of individuals and diverse patterns of response to treatment. This study aimed to explore the different profiles in a sample of Spanish children who received the Super Skills for Life (SSL) transdiagnostic program, to identify which profile of individuals benefited most from the intervention and the likelihood of transition of symptom patterns over time. Participants were 119 children (42.9% were female) aged 8-12 years old (M = 9.39; SD = 1.26). Children completed anxiety and depression measures at the baseline, postintervention, and 12-months follow-up. Results from latent transition analysis (LTA) revealed two groups depending on the severity of the anxiety and depression symptoms: low symptoms (LS) and high symptoms (HS). LS group remained stable and HS decreased by 25%, switching to the LS group. Children with greater social anxiety benefited most from the program over time. Furthermore, older children were more likely to improve rapidly one year after the intervention compared to younger children. This study provides information to consider when implementing preventive interventions for schoolchildren and to tailor them according to the target population characteristics to increase their effectiveness.
