Evaluation of Quality of Life and Psychiatric Comorbidity in Adolescents with Social Media Addiction

There is a growing body of literature exploring the general population’s use of social media for assistance in dealing with stigmatized health issues. This study presents novel research examining the relationship between social media use and young adults. It utilizes a therapeutic affordance (TA) framework. Quantitative results from this study are complemented by qualitative data. The relationships between distinct social media and their TA (a–b) are presented to highlight their potential to impact positively on social and emotional well-being outcomes. Evidence includes broad support for “connection,” “narration,” and “collaboration” TAs in this context and the relationship between the use of distinct social media and perceived quality of life (QOL) outcomes (a–c). TA provides an appropriate and valuable theoretical framework which is useful for the development of an evidence-base from the analysis of young adult’s social media usage. An analysis of the association between social media and their QOL outcomes is presented according to the TA relationship pathway (a–c–b). The adoption of a TA framework enables a nuanced analysis of significant associations between specific social media, TA, and improved QOL outcomes. This study demonstrates the significant association between social media and perceived QOL outcomes in young adults.

AbstractIdentifying highly disabled patients or at high risk of psychiatric comorbidity is crucial for migraine management. The burden of migraine increases with headache frequency, but the number of headache days (HDs) per month after which disability becomes severe or the risk of anxiety and depression is higher has not been established. Here, we estimate the number of HDs per month after which migraine is associated with higher risk of anxiety and depression, severe disability and lower quality of life. We analysed 468 migraine patients (mean age 36.8 ± 10.7; 90.2% female), of whom 38.5% had ≥ 15 HDs per month. Our results show a positive linear correlation between the number of HDs per month and the risk of anxiety (r = 0.273; p < 0.001), depression (r = 0.337; p < 0.001) and severe disability (r = 0.519; p < 0.001). The risk of anxiety is higher in patients having ≥ 3HDs per month, and those with ≥ 19HDs per month are at risk of depression. Moreover, patients suffering ≥ 10HDs per month have very severe disability. Our results suggest that migraine patients with ≥ 10HDs per month are very disabled and also that those with ≥ 3HDs per month should be screened for anxiety.

Presidential Election Campaign

Entrepreneurship often becomes an alternative profession, while in fact, being an entrepreneur is a strategic choice which is ideally based on strong determination and belief that it is able to change the quality of life. Sandiaga Uno used entrepreneurship narration during the 2019 presidential election campaign in his social media in order to influence the youth. The present study aimed to explore Sandiaga Uno’s entrepreneurship narration on Instagram and to identify the narration in influencing young people during the 2019 presidential election campaign. This study was categorized as qualitative research with thematic analysis. The result of the study found that Uno’s campaign narration focused more on hopes. His narration of entrepreneurship focused on motivating the Millenials without explaining further about the risk of being an entrepreneur and how to fund and maintain a business. Uno utilizes his background as an entrepreneur by motivating his campaign. Uno also invited celebrities and several Actors who have businesses to motivate young people to become entrepreneurs. Risk management needed in an entrepreneur because many entrepreneurs are not prepared to deal with risk so the business that was built cannot last. Likewise, there are still many entrepreneurs who cannot make the most of existing technology to develop its business because of its capacity.

The Impact

BACKGROUND Monitoring social media has been shown to be a useful mean to capture patients’ opinions and feelings about medical issues, ranging from diseases to treatments. Health-related quality of life is a useful indicator of overall patients’ health that can be captured online. OBJECTIVE This study aims to describe a Social Media Listening system which is able to detect any impact of diseases or treatments on health-related quality of life as reported in social media and forum messages written by patients. METHODS Using a web crawler, 19 health-related forums in France were harvested and messages relating a patient’s experience with a disease or a treatment were specifically collected. The algorithm was based on the two clinically validated questionnaires SF-36 and EQ-5D. Models were trained using cross-validation (a machine learning technique which obtains the best combination between different data samples) and hyperparameter optimization. Over-sampling was used to increase the infrequent dimension: after annotation, SMOTE was used to balance the proportion of the dimension among messages. RESULTS The training set was composed of 1400 messages, randomly taken from a 20 000 batch of health-related messages coming from forums. The algorithm was able to detect a general impact on health-related quality of life (sensitivity of 0.83 and specificity of 0.74), a physical impact (0.67 and 0.76), a psychic impact (0.82 and 0.60), an activity-related impact (0.73 and 0.78), a relational impact (0.73 and 0.70) and a financial impact (0.79 and 0.74). CONCLUSIONS Real-time assessment of patients’ health-related quality of life through the use of Social Media Listening is useful to a patient-centered medical care. Social media as a source of Real World Data are a complementary point of vue to understand patients’ concerns, unmet needs and how diseases and treatments can be a burden in their daily lives.
