Musiken för ungdomar : En fenomenologisk studie om musikens påverkan på ungdomars mående / The music for youths : A phenomenological study about music’s impact on youths’ wellbeing.Sjögren, Julia January 2018 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to find out what effect and meaning the youths’ describe that music has for their wellbeing. The idea is to examine how students studying music at the esthetic program describe that they perceive that practicing music and listening to different types of music affect their wellbeing, with focus on psychosomatic and psychic symptoms. The point is also to examine why the youths think that music can affect their feelings and wellbeing and why they perceive that music is important to them. The study is qualitative and starts from a life world phenomenological perspective. Music is regarded as a phenomenon in this study. The study’s data was collected through a survey which was performed at three different gymnasiums in southern Sweden. The result presents that music listening and music practicing can reduce many of the youths’ psychosomatic and psychic symptoms – mainly by music affecting the youths’ feelings in different ways, making them feel good, creating fellowship and acting as an escape route from reality. Two types of music that can make the youths feel better is calm music and happy music. It also appears that music can increase psychic and psychosomatic symptoms in a way that different types of music can increase symptoms such as anxiety, worry, sleep difficulties and stress. Music described as sad is a type of music that is mentioned making these symptoms worse. The music is important for the youths in different ways. Examples given are that it’s a part of them as individuals, that it works as a support and that it can affect their wellbeing and feelings. The result also presents why the youths think that music can affect their wellbeing and feelings. The primary point that emerges is that they describe that there is a connection between humans, memories and feelings; that music can affect and amplify peoples’ feelings and memories. In the discussion it appears that music could be used in order to decrease the youths’ psychosomatic and psychic symptoms.

Inter-twin and parent-twin relationships and mental health:a study of twins from adolescence to young adulthoodTrias, T. (Tuulikki) 26 September 2006 (has links)
Abstract
The sample consisted of 419 twins, born in 1965–1973, from Northern Finland who had been followed at ten-year intervals, at 2–10 years, 12–20 years and at 22–30 years of age. Data on psychosomatic symptoms, parent-twin and inter-twin relationships were elicited, and twins completed the Children's Depression Inventory modified for age.
Middle adolescence appeared to be the most difficult phase of puberty for twins as far as depressive and psychosomatic/somatic symptoms were concerned. When different twin pairs were evaluated separately, the males of opposite-sex twin pairs seemed to be in the most favourable position, particularly in late adolescence, as they reported least depressive symptoms.
Depressive and psychosomatic symptoms were evaluated in relation to parental preference among young adult twins. Parental preference was evaluated in two directions: which one of the parents was reported to feel as being closer to the twin – experienced parental preference evaluated by the twin, and which one of the parents the twin felt closer to – twin's own preference. Those males who were equally close to both parents (experienced parental preference) had least total depressiveness, while females in intermediate situation had the highest self-confidence and least anhedonia and nervousness. According to twins' own preference, twins who felt equally close to both parents had least total depressiveness and anhedonia. The intermediate position seems to be the best alternative, as these twins had the least symptoms.
Psychosomatic and depressive symptoms were evaluated in relation to co-twin dependence in young adult twins. MZ twins, especially MZ females, reported most often co-twin dependence at all ages. There were no significant differences in depressive symptoms between dependent and independent twins. Twin's subjective experience about co-twin dependence appeared to be important for the twin's mental well-being, as dependence-independence imbalance within twin pair was associated with elevated levels of depressive symptom reporting, especially in twins who perceived themselves as dependent and the co-twin as independent.
Dominance-submissiveness between co-twins and its relationship to mental health was assessed in young adulthood. Dominance-submissiveness in the twin relationships was assessed separately in three domains of life: physical and psychological dominance-submissiveness and the role of a spokesperson. Submissiveness in the psychological domain seemed to be associated with increased depressiveness, nervous complaints and psychosomatic symptoms in males of male-female twin pairs. Among females of same-sex twin pairs, submissiveness in the psychological domain was most clearly associated with depressive symptoms.
We conclude that being submissive, especially in the psychological domain, to a female twin partner seems to be stressful, whereas it is easier, especially for females, to be submissive to a male twin partner. This was in contrast to co-twin dependency, which was experienced positively when occurring towards a twin sister.

Type D personality is a risk factor for psychosomatic symptoms and musculoskeletal pain among adolescents : a cross-sectional study of a large population-based cohort of Swedish adolescentsConden, Emelie, Leppert, Jerzy, Ekselius, Lisa, Åslund, Cecilia January 2013 (has links)
Background: Type D personality, or the "distressed personality", is a psychosocial factor associated with negative health outcomes, although its impact in younger populations is unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Type D personality and the associations between Type D personality and psychosomatic symptoms and musculoskeletal pain among adolescences. Methods: A population-based, self-reported cross-sectional study conducted in Vastmanland, Sweden with a cohort of 5012 students in the age between 15-18 years old. The participants completed the anonymous questionnaire Survey of Adolescent Life in Vastmanland 2008 during class hour. Psychosomatic symptoms and musculoskeletal pain were measured through index measuring the presence of symptoms and how common they were. DS14 and its two component subscales of negative affectivity (NA) and social inhibition (SI) were measured as well. Results: There was a difference depending on sex, where 10.4% among boys and 14.6% among girls (p = < 0.001) were defined as Type D personality. Boys and girls with a Type D personality had an approximately 2-fold increased odds of musculoskeletal pain and a 5-fold increased odds of psychosomatic symptoms. The subscale NA explained most of the relationship between Type D personality and psychosomatic symptoms and musculoskeletal pain. No interaction effect of NA and SI was found. Conclusions: There was a strong association between Type D personality and both psychosomatic symptoms and musculoskeletal pain where adolescent with a type D personality reported more symptoms. The present study contributes to the mapping of the influence of Type D on psychosomatic symptoms and musculoskeletal pain among adolescents.

De utsatta skolbarnen : Sambandet mellan mobbning och psykosomatiska symtom - en registerstudie / The vulnerable schoolchildren : The relationship between bullying and psychosomatic symptoms – a registry studyÖhman, Sofie January 2012 (has links)
Bakgrund: Mobbning utgör ett allvarligt problem i svenska skolor. Huvudvärk, magont, ryggont, nacksmärtor och trötthet är frekventa psykosomatiska symtom hos elever utsatta för mobbning. En viktig uppgift för skolsköterskan kan vara förebyggandet av mobbning. Syfte: var att studera om det finns samband mellan upplevelsen av att vara utsatt för mobbning och förekomst av psykosomatiska symtom hos skolbarn i årskurs 5 och 7. Metod: Studien var en tvärsnittsstudie utifrån registerdata inhämtad från Folkhälsoinstitutet. I studien ingick totalt 7596 svenska skolbarn i åldern 11 och 13 år. Materialet analyserades bivariat och med multivariata regressionsmodeller. Resultat: Skolbarn som upplevde sig mobbade visade sig ha fler psykosomatiska symtom än skolbarn som inte var mobbade (OR= 2.73). Flickor hade fler psykosomatiska symtom än pojkar (OR= 1.76). Skolbarn i årskurs 7 hade fler psykosomatiska än barnen i årskurs 5 (OR=2.73). Skolbarn som var stressade av skolarbetet uppvisade fler psykosomatiska symtom (OR= 3.38). Flickor var mindre ofta mobbade än pojkar. (OR= 0.86). Skolbarn som ej trivdes i skolan var oftare utsatta för mobbning än elever som trivdes i skolan (OR=1.52). Slutsats: Mobbning och stress av skolarbetet utgör en fara för skolbarns hälsa. Skolbarn som blir mobbade trivs även sämre i skolan. / Introduction: Bullying is a serious problem in Swedish schools. Headache, stomachache, back pain and tiredness are frequent psychosomatic symptoms. An important task for the school nurse may be the prevention of bullying. Aim: was to study potential links between the experience of being the victim of bullying and the occurrence of psychosomatic symptoms among school children in grades 5 and 7. Method: The study was a cross sectional study based on register data was obtained from the Folkhälsoinstitutet. This study included a total of 7596 schoolchildren between the ages of 11 and 13 years. Material was analysed with bivariate and multivariate regression models. Results: Schoolchildren who felt bullied were found to have more psychosomatic symptoms than schoolchildren who were not bullied. (OR= 2.73). The girls had more psychosomatic symptoms than boys. (OR= 1.76). Schoolchildren in grades 7 had more psychosomatic symptoms than children in grade 5. (OR=2.73). Schoolchildren that were stressed by school work showed more psychosomatic symptoms. (OR= 3.38). The girls were less often bullied than boys. (OR=0.86). School children who are not happy in school were more often exposed to bullying than students who enjoyed school. (OR=1.52). Conclusion: Bullying and stress of schoolwork is a danger to school children’s health. School children who are bullied feel even worse in school.

Adolescent Gaming and Gambling in Relation to Negative Social Consequences and HealthHellström, Charlotta January 2015 (has links)
The aims of the thesis were to study relationships between the effects of online gaming and gambling and negative social consequences and ill health among adolescents and to determine whether gaming and gambling activities occur together. The papers in this thesis used epidemiological methods to obtain self-report information from Swedish adolescents aged 13–18 years. Time spent in online gaming was associated with negative social consequences, and this relationship was explained by online gaming motives. Gaming for fun and social motives was associated with a reduced risk of negative social consequences, whereas gaming to escape problems, gain status, or meet demands from others was associated with an increased risk. Increased online gaming time on weekdays increased the probability of having depressive, musculoskeletal, or psychosomatic symptoms, and was related to online gaming motives. The probability of ill health was low in those who reported gaming for fun or social motives. Adolescents with symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were more sensitive to gambling frequency and to developing a gambling problem. However, among those identified as susceptible, adolescents with ADHD were equally affected compared with other susceptible participants in terms of their gambling frequency. Boys had a higher probability than girls of participating in online gambling in association with online gaming. Having at least one parent born outside Scandinavia was associated with a higher probability of online gambling, especially among girls. The effect of alcohol use as a factor contributing to online gambling was greater among boys than among girls. The results of this thesis contribute new knowledge about sex differences in online gaming and gambling behaviours and add to the limited research on online gaming and online gambling behaviours among adolescent girls. Gaming motives may be helpful for identifying online gamers needing support to reduce their unhealthy gaming behaviour. Information about factors related to gaming and gambling problems may be of interest to clinicians in psychiatry, psychology and social work, as well as to policymakers, parents and teachers involved in adolescent health and development. Effect preventive strategies should consider the sex differences in gaming and gambling behaviour in adolescents.

Ungdomar och stress : en undersökning av förekomsten av stress och psykosomatiska besvär bland gymnasieelever / Youth and stress : a study of stress and psychosomatic symptoms among secondary school studentsOlsson, Jeanette January 2006 (has links)
BAKGRUND: Stress och psykosomatiska besvär är ett av de allvarligaste folkhälsoproblemen i Sverige. Psykisk ohälsa omfattar cirka 20% av sjukdomsbördan i Sverige. Även ungdomar uppvisar ökad grad av stress och psykosomatiska besvär. SYFTE: Syftet med studien var att undersöka förekomsten av självupplevd stress och psykosomatiska besvär hos gymnasieelever på en svensk gymnasieskola. MATERIAL OCH METOD: En enkät delades ut på skolan. 970 elever besvarade enkäten (75%). Enkäten innehöll 16 frågor rörande självupplevd stress och psykosomatiska besvär. Bakgrundsvariabler var kön, årskurs och program. RESULTAT: Majoriteten av eleverna känner sig ofta glada, att de klarar det de vill och har en positiv framtidstro, men en hög andel av eleverna upplever ofta stress, framför allt skolstress. Psykosomatiska besvär i form av sömnsvårigheter, oro, irritation, och nedstämdhet är vanliga. Det finns en tydlig könsskillnad i resultaten. Flickorna har en högre grad av stress och psykosomatiska besvär och en lägre grad av glädje, bemästring och framtidstro. De flesta eleverna hade en vuxen att prata med och i nio fall av tio var det en förälder. De som inte hade någon sådan vuxen uppvisade dubbelt så hög andel psykosomatiska besvär. SLUTSATSER OCH REKOMMENDATIONER: Studien visade att det finns ett samband mellan stress och psykosomatiska besvär. Det är viktigt att skolan, både lokalt och nationellt, vidtar åtgärder för att minska skolstressen. Samhället bör öka sitt stöd till familjer, så att fler ungdomar kan ha en öppen och förtroendefull relation till sina föräldrar. Det krävs vidare forskning om flickornas höga andel av stress och psykosomatiska besvär, så att trenden med ökade ohälsotal för kvinnor kan brytas. / BACKGROUND: Stress and psychosomatic symptoms is one of the major public health problems in Sweden. Psychological disease accounts for 20% of the burden of disease in Sweden. Also young people show an increasing degree of stress and psychosomatic symptoms. OBJECTIVES: The objective of the study was to investigate the prevalence of self-rated stress and psychosomatic symptoms among secondary school students. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A questionnaire was distributed. 970 students filled it out (75%). The questionnaire had 16 questions on self-rated stress and psychosomatic symptoms. The background variables were sex, grade and program. RESULTS: The majority of the students often felt happy, a sense of mastering and had a positive view of their future, but a high proportion of the students felt stress, the level of school related stress was very high. Psychosomatic symptoms such as problems with sleep, feeling anxious, irritable and low was common. There was a clear gender difference. The girls had a higher degree of stress and psychosomatic symptoms and lower degree of happiness, sense of mastering and positive view of their future. A majority of the students had an adult to talk to, which in 90% of the cases was a parent. Those students who didn’t have such an adult had twice as high degree of psychosomatic symptoms. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The study showed an association between stress and psychosomatic symptoms. It is important that the school, both on local and national level, take measures to decrease the level of school related stress. The society should increase its support to families, so more young people can have an open and trusting relationship to their parents. Further research is needed about the high level of stress and psychosomatic symptoms among girls, so the increasing burden of disease among women can be reversed. / <p>ISBN 91-7997-133-4</p>
