Multifaceted determinants of depressive symptoms in children migrating back from urban to rural areas: An ecological systems theory approach.

Background: While many studies have examined mental health and influencing factors of rural Chinese children who migrated back from urban areas, holistic exploration of multifaceted determinants of their depressive symptoms is lacking; this study, drawing on Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory and the process-person-context-time (PPCT) model, investigated multilevel factors' impact on such symptoms and gender differences.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2022 in Nanling County (Anhui Province) in China. A sample of 859 school students in grades 5-9 completed assessments measuring their depressive symptoms (using the Children's Depression Inventory, CDI) and different blocks of variables (CONTEXT, PERSON, and PROCESS).

Adaptation and validation of the Chinese version of the digital addiction scale for children (DASC).

Background: With more than 90% penetration of personal digital devices, digital addiction in children has emerged as a significant concern in China. Environmental and socioeconomic stressors in China-a highly collectivist society-may contribute to a higher prevalence of digital addiction. However, there is a lack of culturally adapted tools to assess digital addiction among children in China.

The association between family socio-demographic factors, parental mediation and adolescents' digital literacy: a cross-sectional study.

It is crucial to promote the benefits of digital technology and reduce its harms by bolstering adolescents' digital literacy. The appropriateness of the strategies parents use to manage their children's digital lives plays a key role.
