We analyzed associations between school achievement operationalized as grade point average (GPA) and Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) factor structure in three different factor models. The sample consisted of 587 Prague school children (276 boys and 311 girls) aged 9-11 years (average age 10.01). The results were consistent in all the models studied. Analyses were conducted separately for girls and boys. The obtained outcomes were similar for both genders. A significant correlation between GPA and total CDI score appeared. Detailed analyses revealed a factor with a markedly closer and more consistent relationship to GPA than other factors had. This factor comprised items directly linked with perception of school achievement. If the score of this factor was subtracted from the total CDI score, the correlation between the latter variable and GPA decreased, but stayed significant. Our findings suggest that the CDI contains a factor strongly related to GPA that should be controlled when studying the relationship of the total CDI score to GPA.

The first aim of this study was to explore how much variance in the health indicators, emotional well-being (EWB) and depressive symptoms (M-BDI) can be explained by a set of individual and psychosocial factors: gender, social support, self-regulation, perceived stress and resilience. Secondly, this study aimed to explore the indirect effect of perceived stress on mental health indicators through the resilience among university students. The final aim was to test whether this indirect effect is moderated by social support, or, in other words, whether it depends on the level of social support. 237 students from four universities in Eastern Slovakia took part in this study (79.4% females, all aged 18 – 35, mean age 19.94, SD = 1.54). The collection of the data was part of the SLiCE (Student Life Cohort in Europe) research project. This study extends previous research - based knowledge regarding the relationship between perceived stress, resilience and mental health indicators by using a comprehensive model to predict health indicators as well as through the exploration of the indirect effect that perceived stress has on mental health indicators. These findings suggest that students with a higher level of stress perception and lower level of resilience as well as lower social support were exposed to the risk of depressive symptoms development. This supports the importance of resilience enhancing especially among students with lower levels of social support under stressful life conditions. This study contributes to the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of perceived stress and mental health by exploring the role of resilience and corroborates the importance of social support and resilience-based intervention. The main limitations of the present study were that all the data were obtained via self-report measures and through online data collection.

The aim of this study was to examine the association of depressive symptoms with medication adherence levels in a combined sample from Croatia and Slovenia. Participants in the study were adult patients with haemophilia receiving prophylaxis or on-demand treatment (N = 109). Their age was between 18 and 73 years (M = 43.86, SD = 14.89). Self-reported medication adherence (implementation phase) was measured with The Validated Haemophilia Regimen Treatment Adherence Scale, while depressive symptoms were measured with Beck Depression Inventory II. Comparison of adherence scores using t-test indicated that participants using prophylaxis were more adherent than participants using on-demand treatment on total scale and time and plan subscales. In hierarchical regression analyses depressive symptoms were a significant predictor for the total score and time subscale after controlling for sociodemographic and clinical variables. Screening for depressive symptoms and improving medication adherence of patients using on-demand treatment is recommended.
