简要总结
In 2017, Socialstyrelsen reported that mental ill-health in young adults had increased by almost 70% in the previous10 years. A 2014 report showed that 5% of men and 11% of women 18-24 years were diagnosed with depression or anxiety in Stockholm County. Furthermore, 41% of women 21-24 years have self reported psychological distress. Regarding pain, 28% of men and 36% of women 16-24 years have disabling neck pain. Little is known about the etiology and prognosis of poor mental health in university students.
The aim is to advance knowledge about the etiology of depression, anxiety, stress and pain in undergraduate university students. The investigators will study a cohort of students at full-year programs at universities in the Stockholm area. Primary research questions are whether modifiable factors such as sleep quality, lifestyle, screen time and work environment are independent risk factors for incident episodes or unfavorable trajectories of depression, anxiety and pain in men and women? To be able to answer these research questions we designed a prospective cohort study targeting 5000 university students.
详细描述
Study objectives:
The overall study aim is to advance the knowledge about the etiology and prognosis of common mental health problems (depression, anxiety and stress) and musculoskeletal pain experienced by undergraduate university students in Sweden.
Specific research questions:
Are modifiable factors as bad sleep quality, meal patterns, low physical activity/sedentary lifestyle, pain conditions and bad study environment independent risk factors of incident episodes of troublesome depressive and anxiety symptomatology and musculoskeletal pain and of unfavorable trajectories of depressive, anxiety, stress and pain symptoms? Are modifiable factors as bad sleep quality, meal patterns, low physical activity/sedentary lifestyle, pain conditions and bad study environment independent prognostic factors for recovery from troublesome depressive and anxiety symptomatology and musculoskeletal pain? Do such potential risk factors and trajectories vary between men and women? What are the trajectories of sleep quality, meal patterns, physical activity/sedentary lifestyle, pain and substance use during one academic year (describe the fluctuations of risk factors)?

结局指标
主要结局
Musculoskeletal pain
时间窗: 2019-2022
Repeated measures with web-based questionnaires, 5 times (every 3 months), over one year. Outcome measures: Musculoskeletal pain will be measured with the The Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ). The NMQ measure musculoskeletal symptoms, and pain intensity in nine body areas: neck, shoulder, elbow, wrists/hands, upper back, lower back, hips/thighs/buttocks, knees, ankle/feet. The questions were modified to assess previous month rather than the previous 12 months as per the original NMQ. No symptoms = a pain score of 0, while the participants who report musculoskeletal symptoms also report average pain intensity over the last month, on a scale from 0 (no complaints), to 9 (pain 'worst possible'). Weekly text messages measure levels of pain.
Mental health problems
时间窗: 2019-2022
Repeated measures with web-based questionnaires, 5 times (every 3 months), over one year. Outcome measures: Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21(DASS-21). DASS-21 includes three subscales (range 0-3, score 0-63, higher scores = more symptoms) to measure depression, anxiety and stress symptoms in nonclinical populations. Weekly text messages measure levels anxiety and depression.
