Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adolescence

Area of Science:

Nursing research
Adolescent health
Wellness studies

Background:

Adolescent wellness is a complex construct.
Existing frameworks may not fully capture adolescent perspectives.
Nursing care requires a nuanced understanding of teen well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a "Framework for Exploring Adolescent Wellness."
To outline a nursing research approach to adolescent wellness.
To understand adolescent perceptions of wellness and its relation to development.

Main Methods:

A "Framework for Exploring Adolescent Wellness" was developed.
Data collected from 280 adolescents (16-20 years old) in Western Canadian high schools.
A wellness survey assessed perceptions of wellness and development.

Main Results:

Adolescent perceptions of wellness extend beyond physical activity and diet.
Psychological (89%), social (85%), and physical (80%) development were key contributors to wellness.
Spirituality was also a factor for over half of the participants (53%).

Conclusions:

Adolescent wellness is multidimensional, heavily influenced by psychological, social, and physical development.
Current nursing approaches need to integrate a stronger focus on the philosophy and practice of wellness.
The "Framework for Exploring Adolescent Wellness" provides a guide for nursing interventions and research.
