To examine the prevalence of symptoms of anxiety and depression and the concordance of these symptoms in adolescents with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and their caregivers, and to analyze their healthcare utilization for mental health problems.
162 German adolescents with CF (aged 12-17 years) and their parental caregivers (88.3% mothers) completed screening measures for anxiety and depression and described their mental healthcare utilization.
Compared to adolescent patients with CF, caregivers reported significantly more anxious and depressive symptoms. An association between adolescent and caregiver anxiety was found. Only a minority of affected patients and caregivers received any form of specialist treatment for their mental health problems.
Screening for anxiety/depression and addressing mental health issues within the framework of a family perspective is recommended as an element of routine healthcare for adolescents with CF.
研究焦虑和抑郁症状在囊性纤维化(CF)青少年及其照顾者中的流行情况,以及这些症状的一致性,并分析他们在心理健康问题方面的医疗保健利用情况。
162 名德国 CF 青少年(年龄 12-17 岁)及其父母照顾者(88.3%为母亲)完成了焦虑和抑郁的筛查测量,并描述了他们的精神卫生保健利用情况。
与 CF 青少年患者相比,照顾者报告的焦虑和抑郁症状明显更多。青少年和照顾者之间存在焦虑的关联。只有少数受影响的患者和照顾者接受了任何形式的精神健康问题的专业治疗。
建议在家庭视角的框架内筛查焦虑/抑郁,并解决心理健康问题,作为 CF 青少年常规医疗保健的一个组成部分。
