Symptômes internalisés, comportements externalisés et traits limites à l'adolescenceLebel, Vicky 27 January 2024 (has links)
Le trouble de la personnalité limite (TPL) est le trouble de personnalité le plus fréquemment rencontré dans les milieux cliniques, cette problématique étant associée à des conséquences importantes sur le plan personnel, social et économique. Même si la nature développementale de ce trouble est suspectée depuis longtemps et commence à être étayée par des données empiriques, ce n'est que récemment que la validité du TPL à l'adolescence a été reconnue. Un nombre croissant d'études porte actuellement sur l'identification des précurseurs et marqueurs développementaux précoces associés au développement ultérieur de cette pathologie de la personnalité. Dans cette optique, la présente thèse de doctorat s'est intéressée à cette problématique particulière tout en empruntant le cadre de travail de la psychopathologie développementale dans l'objectif d'explorer les relations entre la symptomatologie internalisée-externalisée, telle que mesurée par le Youth Self-Report (YSR; Achenbach et Rescorla, 2001) et les traits limites, mesurés par le Borderline Personality Features Scale for Children (BPFS-C; Crick et al., 2005) à l'adolescence. Les données ont été recueillies auprès de 573 participants âgés entre 11 et 18 ans recrutés dans différentes écoles secondaires, établissements post-secondaire et camps de jour de la région de la Capitale-Nationale, du Bas-Saint-Laurent et de Chaudière-Appalaches. Les résultats révèlent une absence de différence quant à l'endossement des traits limites en fonction de l'âge. La différence la plus importante a été relevée entre les genres, les filles présentant davantage de traits limites, cette différence atteignant un niveau de significativité parmi le groupe âgé entre 15 et 18 ans. Ensuite, des analyses factorielles exploratoires ont permis d'extraire une solution unifactorielle composée de six items du YSR expliquant 47,15% de variance et ayant une bonne consistance interne (α = .835). Les analyses factorielles et de régressions logistiques binaires montrent que la plus grande proportion de variance est constamment expliquée par ce facteur. Il présente une excellente spécificité, mais une sensibilité modérée à détecter les adolescents qui présentent un grand nombre de traits limites. Enfin, ces résultats sont abordés en regard de leur portée clinique et des pistes futures à explorer, tout en tenant compte des forces et limites au plan méthodologique de la présente thèse. / Borderline personality disorder is the most commonly encountered personality disorder in clinical settings, with significant personal, social and economic costs. Although the developmental nature of this disorder has long been suspected and is now gaining support by empirical research, the validity of borderline personality disorder in adolescence has only been recognized recently. A growing body of research is currently working on identifying precursors and early developmental markers associated with the development of borderline personality disorder. This thesis aims to explore relationships between internalizing externalizing symptomatology, as measured by the Youth Self-Report (YSR; Achenbach et Rescorla, 2001) and borderline personality features, measured by the Borderline Personality Features Scale for Children (BPFS-C; Crick et al., 2005) in adolescence while borrowing the framework of developmental psychopathology. Data were collected from 573 adolescents aged between 11 and 18 years old, who were recruited from various high schools, post-secondary institutions and day camps in Capitale-Nationale, Bas-Saint-Laurent and Chaudière-Appalaches, Quebec, Canada. Results shows that there is no statistical difference in the endorsement of borderline traits according to age. The most striking difference has been found between boys and girls, the latter having a greater number of borderline personality features, this difference reaching a statistically significant level among the older group (15-18 years old). Next, a single-factor solution composed of six YSR items accounting for 47,15% of the shared variance with good internal consistency (α = .835) was carried out from the exploratory factor analysis. Factor analysis and binary logistic regression analysis results shows that the largest proportion of variance is consistently explained by this factor. This single-factor solution shows excellent specificity, but moderate sensitivity to detect adolescents who scored high on a dimensional measure of borderline personality features specifically developped for their presentation during adolescence. These results are then discussed in terms of their clinical significance and futures avenues to explore are presented, while taking into account the methodological strengths and limitations of this thesis.

Preventive psychosocial parental and school programmes in a general populationLöfgren, Hans O. January 2017 (has links)
Introduction Numerous preventive programmes have emerged, and need to be investigated to determine their effects on the normal population. Earlier studies have shown a decrease in depressive symptoms, positive effects on children’s disruptive behaviour problems, and an improvement in parental competence. About a fifth of the parents in previous studies had problem-oriented (targeted) reasons for enrolment, whereas the rest of the parents had general (universal) reasons. The results of those studies suggest that the programmes are cost effective in terms of Quality-Adjusted Life Years. Aim Four sub-studies were performed, and their aims were to investigate the effect of parental training programmes (PTPs) in a naturalistic setting on parents’ mental health in the general population, to investigate how PTPs affect parents’ sense of parental competence, to investigate how PTPs affect parental stress and analyse the parents open questions about the PTPs, and to investigate the feasibility and to measure the effect on depression, anxiety, and social problems of two preventive school programmes for pupils in grade 7. Method In a longitudinal quantitative study in a real-world setting, 279 parents from the general population in northern Sweden participated in five PTPs. A comparison group of 702 parents without intervention was included. Simultaneously, a community sample of 59 pupils in grade 7 participated in two preventive school programmes. Both studies were conducted from 2010 to 2013. Parents were assigned to professionally supported interventions that included 5-10 two-hour sessions. Respondents filled in a web-based questionnaire with the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), the Parents Sense of Competence (PSOC) for parents who had children aged 0-17 years, and the Swedish Parenthood Stress Questionnaire (SPSQ) for parents who had children aged 0-10 years. The intervention groups’ results were compared to comparison group of 702 parents from northern Sweden that had not participated in any parental training programme. In the school study, one of the preventive programmes was an ongoing programme called “Life-Skills”, and the other was an implemented Canadian programme called “Choosing Healthy Actions and Thoughts” (CHAT). The pupils completed a test battery including the Sense of Coherence (SOC), the Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI), and the Youth Self-Report (YSR) instruments. Follow up of the parental programme study was done six months after the post-intervention measure, and follow up of the school study was at one year. Results The improvements in GHQ were statistically significant for the mean of the 279 parents in the intervention group compared to the mean of a comparison group of the 702 parents who did not receive any intervention. This suggests that evidence-based PTPs enhance parental well-being even for parents without problems. The intervention group showed a statistically significant improvement in parental competence compared to the comparison group over time. The intervention itself had a significant effect on parental satisfaction, but the efficacy effect was not sustained when taking into account potential confounders. In the SPSQ, the intervention group was smaller due to the fact that the instrument was not validated for children over the age of 10 and one of the parental training groups was only for parents of teenagers. A reduction of stress in the sub-scale of health problems was detected, but no other subscale showed the intervention to have a significant effect when controlling for confounding variables. In the school study, both programmes had good feasibility according to the stake- holders and had several positive mental health outcomes over time. Compared to Life-Skills, CHAT had more significant positive effects on reducing anxious/depressive symptoms and girls experienced significant positive effects on reduced anxious/depressive behaviour, while boys reduced their aggressive behaviours. Conclusions Earlier studies indicate that PTPs enhance perceived parental competence among referred parents. The present study shows that PTPs applied in the general population might also enhance perceived parental benefits such as improved health and satisfaction, suggesting that PTPs can be an important preventive strategy to enhance parenthood. The results suggest that parents who feel a need to increase their parenting competence might participate in PTPs based on lower scores than the comparison control group both before and after the intervention. The school-based programme shows that schools may be a suitable arena for preventive programmes because there was a significant short-term improvement in depression symptoms. Further studies need to explore how parents’ participation in PTPs affects children’s mental health in the general population in quantitative longitudinal studies in real-word settings. There is also a need for bigger studies and RCTs on school preventions and on how children’s health develops naturally in the population.
