Summary: The aim of this systematic review was to provide a comprehensive overview of the relationship between bullying and the health-related quality of life of adolescents. The study found that bullying resulted in an overall reduction in health-related quality of life and a decline in adolescent mental health. Different types of bullying were identified as causing harm to various domains of adolescents' quality of life. These findings are important for effective bullying management and intervention strategies to maintain the quality of life of bullied adolescents.

Summary: This study aimed to explore factors associated with pain in 14-15-year-old adolescents and their parents and investigate the mediation of self-esteem and self-efficacy in the relationship between pain intensity and HRQOL in adolescents with persistent pain. The results showed that adolescents with pain experienced higher stress, loneliness, and lack of sleep, and lower levels of self-efficacy, self-esteem, and HRQOL compared to those without pain. The findings suggest that promoting both self-esteem and self-efficacy is crucial for improving HRQOL in adolescents with persistent pain.

Summary: This study explored the relationship between stress, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and self-efficacy in adolescents. The findings revealed a negative association between perceived stress and HRQOL, and this association was mediated by self-efficacy. The study highlights the importance of understanding the underlying mechanisms to develop effective interventions for adolescents.

Summary: This study conducted an umbrella review to analyze the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in adolescents. The results showed that dental caries, malocclusion, housing, parental education, and access to healthcare are closely associated with OHRQoL. Completion of orthodontic treatment, health promotion programs, dental care, and safe housing all have a positive impact on oral health.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between peer victimization and health-related quality of life over time. Stable victims experienced the greatest loss of HRQoL, while new victims, ceased victims, and intermittent victims all showed lower HRQoL scores compared to non-victims. The findings suggest a profound impact of peer victimization on adolescents' HRQoL.

Summary: This study examined the relationship among gratitude, self-efficacy, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD), and explored gender differences. The results showed that gratitude was more strongly associated with HRQOL problems in women, while self-efficacy was more strongly associated with HRQOL problems in men. Additionally, self-efficacy was a more important predictor of HRQOL problems for both women and men compared to gratitude.

Summary: This study aimed to verify the relationships between sense of coherence (SOC), oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and dental caries in adolescents. The results showed that high SOC scores positively impacted OHRQoL, while high DMFT and dental pain negatively affected OHRQoL. Additionally, dental pain, lower maternal education levels, lower household income, and dental service utilization were associated with higher DMFT. These findings highlight the importance of oral conditions and psychosocial characteristics on OHRQoL.

Summary: This multi-center longitudinal cohort study aimed to assess the trajectories of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) over time. The results showed that the HRQoL scores differed between children with different CKD stages, and the transition from dialysis to transplantation was significantly associated with the improvement in HRQoL. Children with CKD stage 1-5 and transplant recipients at baseline had stable HRQoL over time.

Summary: Sibling bullying is prevalent in the lives of autistic adolescents, especially in those who were late-diagnosed, had a shared bedroom, and lived in a low-income household. The study found that sibling bullying in early adolescence significantly predicted reduced self-esteem in mid-adolescence, which in turn predicted poorer mental health and wellbeing in late adolescence. These findings indicate the indirect impact of sibling bullying on mental health in autistic adolescents through a reduction in self-esteem.

Summary: In a representative sample study in Austria, it was found that 9.4% of girls and 7.1% of boys aged 10-18 years suffered from chronic pediatric illnesses. Compared to adolescents without chronic illnesses, these patients had higher rates of internalizing and externalizing mental health problems, with anxiety, depression, and social problems being more prevalent. Medication intake due to chronic pediatric illnesses and traumatic life events were related to mental health problems. Targeted prevention programs for adolescents with chronic pediatric illnesses are urgently needed to prevent long-term mental health problems.
