Personal issues outside the workplace remain the biggest reason for stress absences in East Ayrshire Health & Social Care Partnership (HSCP).

Personal stress accounted for almost 80 per cent of the 46 absences recorded in April. Just 18 per cent cited work related stress, with the remainder saying it was a combination of both.

The number of stress related absences increased by around a third since a previous report for October 2023. The majority of stress absences were within the Locality Health and Care, Children’s Health Care and Wellbeing and Recovery services.

A report to the HSCP’s audit committee said that the number of workers absent for more than six months had dropped by around a quarter in the same period.

Peer Support, Positive Mindset Predict Resilience in ADHD Teens: Study
August 28, 2024Peer acceptance, a sense of self-efficacy, and a stress-is-enhancing mindset are strong predictors of resilience in older teens with ADHD, according to a small longitudinal study published in Child Psychiatry & Human Development.1The study, which followed 113 adolescents with ADHD from 10th to 12th grade, found that higher levels of peer acceptance, self-efficacy, and a growth mindset in 10th or 11th grade predicted higher levels of resilience 1.5 to 2 years later.Participants from the present study were assessed at three points:Peer acceptance at the start of the study explained 24% of the variance in resilience at follow-up. Teens with less severe ADHD symptoms were significantly more likely to report feelings of peer acceptance.Resilience was measured using the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), which asked teens to measure their agreement with statements such as “I tend to bounce back quickly after hard times” and “I take a long time to get over setbacks in my life.”Self-efficacy mediated the relationship between peer acceptance and resilience, accounting for 39% of the variance in resilience at follow-up.“Greater self-efficacy has been associated with positive outcomes for children and adolescents with ADHD, including lower levels of depression and internalizing symptoms, and reported higher quality of life,” wrote Elizabeth Chan, lead author of the study.Though ADHD symptom severity did not change the positive effect of self-efficacy on resilience, existing research shows that ADHD symptoms can negatively impact self-esteem.A stress-is-enhancing mindset accounted for 31% of the variance in resilience.
