Abstract

Abstract

Objective Based on a qualitative research method, the present study aims to explore the negative experiences and real dilemmas of adolescent with depression in the treatment and rehabilitation process, so as to provide references to promote the improvement of the treatment system for adolescent depression in China. Methods From August 2022 to November 2022, 30 adolescents with depression were selected for in-depth interviews in the inpatient department of child and adolescent psychiatry at Beijing An Ding Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University by using the purposive sampling method, and the interview data were analyzed by using the Colaizzi method to summarize the themes. Results The real dilemmas faced by depressed adolescent during treatment and recovery included three aspects: inappropriate family coping (caregivers' lacking of correct disease cognition; caregivers' lacking of effective coping methods), difficulties in disease diagnosis and treatment (low rate of identification and adverse effect of treatment; medical service failing to satisfy the demands), and barriers to continued schooling (barriers to academic progress and interpersonal communication). Conclusion Adolescents with depression face real dilemmas in the process of disease treatment and rehabilitation at home, school and medical care. Caregivers' disease literacy and caregiving skills should be improved. A collaborative disease management system among family, school, community and medical institutions should be established to promote adolescent depression treatment and social function recovery.
