Background: Sedentarism is an important risk factor for non-communicable diseases. To avoid it, it is necessary to establish the barriers which influence a low level of practice of Physical Activity. Methods: This study, conducted with 833 students, aims to describe a model to explain the barriers determining the level of practice of Physical Activity in adolescents according to age, school year, BMI and gender. The inclusion of the analyzed barriers followed the tetra-factorial model: Body image/physical and social anxiety; Tiredness/laziness; Responsibilities/lack of time and Environment/facilities. Results: The barriers to Physical Activity in adolescents are fatigue and sloth, and temporary obligations. The barrier that least influences the practice of Physical Activity is the environment and body image. It is determined that the subjects with the lowest Physical Activity index were those with a high fatigue and laziness score and higher age. The level of physical activity of this population is medium (95% CI, 2.8274–2.9418). Conclusions: It is necessary to overcome tiredness or apathy towards the practice of Physical Activity, especially in those under 16 years of age.

The Relationship

The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of personality, anxiety sensitivity, intolerance of uncertainty and self-esteem on different anxiety symptoms. A total of 436 university students completed measures of personality, anxiety sensitivity, intolerance of uncertainty, self-esteem, and symptoms of panic, worry and social anxiety. Results have shown that neuroticism, conscientiousness and psychological concerns (anxiety sensitivity) predict symptoms of panic and that psychological concerns mediate the relationship between neuroticism and panic. Worry was predicted by neuroticism, prospective and inhibitory intolerance of uncertainty and self-liking, with intolerance of uncertainty mediating between neuroticism and worry. Finally, neuroticism, openness to experiences and extraversion, as well as social concerns (anxiety sensitivity), inhibitory intolerance of uncertainty and self-liking predicted social anxiety. Social concerns, inhibitory intolerance of uncertainty and self-liking mediated the effects of neuroticism and extraversion on social anxiety. Results offer support to neuroticism being a universal risk factor and anxiety sensitivity, intolerance of uncertainty and self-esteem having specific effects on anxiety symptoms.

SummaryEpidemiologic surveys conducted across Europe indicate that the lifetime prevalence of social anxiety disorder in the general population is close to 7%. The disorder in adulthood rarely presents in its ‘pure’ form and 70–80% of patients have at least one other psychiatric disorder, most commonly depression. Social anxiety disorder is a risk factor for the development of depression and alcohol/substance use or dependence, especially in cases with an early onset (< 15 years). Individuals with social anxiety disorder have significant functional impairment, notably in the areas of initiation and maintenance of social/romantic relationships and educational and work achievement. The economic consequences of social anxiety disorder are considerable, with a high level of diminished work productivity, unemployment and an increased utilisation of medical services amongst sufferers. Effective treatment of social anxiety disorder would improve its course and its health and economic consequences.

В статье рассмотрена проблема особенностей суицидального поведения подростков с детским церебральным параличом (ДУП) в сравнении с их нормально развивающимися сверстниками. Описаны факторы риска формирования суицидального поведения у подростков в зависимости от особенностей их развития. Указано на важность профилактической работы с подростками с детским церебральным параличом по предупреждению отклоняющегося поведения. Приведен анализ специфических особенностей проявления отклоняющегося поведения у подростков с детским церебральным параличом, выявлен в процессе эмпирического исследования в сравнении с подростками с нормальным психическим развитием и связанных со структурой дефекта. Так, у подростков с детским церебральным параличом выявлен высокий уровень межличностной и социальной тревожности, высокая демонстративность, аффективность, трудности в формировании межличностных отношений со сверстниками и взрослыми, приводящие к формированию у них чувства одиночества и покинутости, сниженного настроения, а также отсутствие позитивных перспектив в будущем, агрессивность и склонность к аутодеструктивному поведению, которые могут послужить факторами возникновения суицидального поведения. Выявленные особенности подростков с детским церебральным параличом указывают на необходимость разработки и реализации комплексной программы профилактики у них суицидального поведения. The article treats the issue of suicidal behavior in adolescents with cerebral palsy as compared with their physically able peers. It describes some factors inducing suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior in physically able teenagers and in adolescents with physical disabilities. The article underlines the importance of the prevention of suicidal thoughts and acts among adolescents with cerebral palsy. It empirically assesses and analyzes the peculiarities of suicidal behavior in adolescents with cerebral palsy as compared with suicidal ideation in physically able adolescents. The research shows that teenagers with cerebral palsy show higher levels of interpersonal and social anxiety, ostentation and excessive affectivity, experience communication difficulties when interacting with their peers and adults and, therefore, feel lonely, depressed and neglected, see nothing positive in their future, show aggression and are prone to self-destructive behavior, which can easily trigger suicidal thoughts and acts. The analysis of psychological peculiarities of teenagers with cerebral palsy highlights the necessity to develop and implement a teenager suicide prevention program.
