Time Perspective Latent Profile Analysis and Its Meaning for School Burnout, Depression, and Family Acceptance in Adolescents
This study aimed to apply latent profile analysis (LPA) to (a) empirically identify adolescents’ profiles based on their time perspective (TP), using a person-centered approach; (b) outline the identified profiles across student burnout, depression, and perceived family acceptance; and (c) establish differences between pre-COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 students. Cross-sectional data were collected through an online survey of 668 adolescents. The participants completed the Kutcher Adolescent Depression Scale (KADS), Student School Burnout Scale (SSBS), Time Perspective Inventory (TPI), and Perceived Family Acceptance (PFA) items. Five subtypes of TP were found: hedonistic youth focused mainly on the present time; hedonistic youths focused on the present and future time; fatalistic youths focused on the present and negative past time; future-oriented youths with a positive perception of the past; and hedonistic youths focused on the present with a mild past-negative time perspective. These five profiles were compared for the variables of student burnout, depression, and perceived family acceptance. Scores from SSBS, KADS, and PFA showed a statistical difference across the five subtypes, with the most intensive mental health, social, and educational problems in profile 5. The level of SSBS was significantly different in the pre-COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 samples; however, no significant differences were found in KADS and PFA. Thus, perspective should be emphasized in adolescents with burnout and depression symptoms
Students’ Depression and School Burnout in the Context of Family Network Acceptance and Deviation from Balanced Time Perspective
Nowadays, a growing increase in depression and school burnout is being observed in students. The research aim is to test the mediating effect deviation from balanced time perspective, gender, and subjective sense of family network acceptance on the relationship between depression and school burnout. The sample consisted of 355 students (61.6% girls, 48.4% boys) from the third grade of high school in the south of Poland (mean age 18.5). The student school burnout scale for youth, Time Perspective Inventory, and Depression Scale for youth were used in the survey. Results showed significant relationships between the time perspective indicators, depression, and school burnout as well as a mediation effect of the past time perspective and the fatalistic present time perspective towards depression through school burnout. The findings confirmed that the focus of a person on immediate hedonistic goals becomes significant for the severity of depression only after accounting for the level of school burnout. Conclusions comprised the design of psychological interventions aimed at the group of young people experiencing depression and school burnout considering the time perspective development
Model fizjoterapii pacjentów z chorobą Huntingtona w krakowskiej Klinice Neurologii CM UJ
Huntington’s disease (HD) leads to the selective degeneration and progressive neuronal apoptosis in the brain, which are responsible for the postural control system, coordination and sensorimotor integration, and causes significant motor disorders. There are no effective causal treatments for HD, but the scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of rehabilitation in maintaining and improving mobility, independence, strength and balance in patients is known. The guidelines and procedures for rehabilitation of HD have not yet been developed, but they are being gradually assembled and recorded by the Huntington’s Disease Society of America and the European Huntington’s Disease Network. The methodology for exercises is similar to the general principles of rehabilitation and exercise programmes for neurological patients. With reference to the available scientific literature at the Department of Neurology, CM UJ in Cracow, a model of rehabilitation of patients with HD based on the method of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) has been created. The PNF method is based on the maximum stimulation of proprioceptors and external receptors in order to activate the damaged structures, and creates a model of patient rehabilitation concerns for the early and middle stages of HD, moving independently, and fully cooperating with the physiotherapist. The current study connected with clinical tests and VICON system gait analysis, proves the effectiveness of the model created by the Department of Neurology, CM UJ in Cracow.Choroba Huntingtona (HD) prowadzi do selektywnego zwyrodnienia i postępującej apoptozy neuronów mózgu, odpowiedzialnych
za układ sterowania postawą, koordynację, a także integrację sensomotoryczną, a co za tym idzie ich degeneracja powoduje istotne
zaburzenia motoryczne. Nie wynaleziono dotÄ…d skutecznych metod leczenia przyczynowego HD, istniejÄ… zaÅ› dowody naukowe potwierdzajÄ…ce
skuteczność rehabilitacji ruchowej w podtrzymywaniu, a nawet podnoszeniu sprawności ruchowej, samodzielności oraz
siły i równowagi u pacjentów. Nie istnieją jeszcze szczegółowe wytyczne i opracowane procedury rehabilitacji HD, jednak są one
stopniowo zbierane i przygotowywane przez Huntington’s Disease Society of America czy European Huntington’s Disease Network.
Metodyczne wskazówki do prowadzenia ćwiczeń z chorymi nie różnią się w zasadzie od generalnych zasad usprawniania oraz programów
ćwiczeń dla pacjentów neurologicznych. W oparciu o dostępną literaturę naukową, w Klinice Neurologii CM UJ w Krakowie
stworzono model rehabilitacji chorych z HD, bazujący na metodzie proprioceptywnego torowania nerwowo-mięśniowego
(PNF). Wspomniana metoda opiera się na maksymalnej stymulacji proprioreceptorów i eksteroreceptorów w celu uzyskania aktywacji
uszkodzonych struktur, a stworzony model rehabilitacji dotyczy chorych we wczesnym i środkowym stadium HD, poruszających
się samodzielnie, w pełni współpracujących z fizjoterapeutą. Obecnie prowadzone badania, z wykorzystaniem testów klinicznych
oraz systemu analizy chodu VICON, mają na celu dowieść skuteczności modelu stworzonego w Klinice Neurologii CM UJ
