Measuring mental wellness among adolescents living with a physical chronic condition- a systematic review of the mental health and mental well-being instruments

Staff inolved: Zaida Orth* & Brian van Wyk

Globally, promoting mental health and well-being among adolescents has become a public health priority, especially for adolescents living with a physical chronic condition (CC), as research suggests they may be more at risk of developing mental health co-morbidities. Valid and reliable instruments are needed to measure and better understand mental health and mental well-being among adolescents living with a CC. To this end, we reviewed studies reporting on mental health and well-being instruments used in adolescent populations living with a chronic physical condition/disease globally.
