Abstract (Swedish)
Denna studie syftade till att undersöka hur psykologisk (in)flexibilitet var
kopplat till olika vanliga barnpsykiatriska symtom bland barn och ungdomar
samt om det fanns en starkare koppling till vissa psykiatriska symtom.
Psykologisk flexibilitet kan beskrivas som en “fundamental aspekt” av hälsa
eller som en helhetsmodell för mänskligt fungerande (Hayes, Strosahl &
Wilson, 1999; Kashdans & Rottenberg, 2010). Vårt urval bestod av 58 barn
och ungdomar som sökt vård vid Barn och ungdomspsykiatriska kliniken i
Lund. De unga (10-17 år), hade sökt behandling och diagnostiserats med
primärt tvångssyndrom (OCD), ångestsyndrom eller depression. Deltagarna
fyllde i självskattningsformulär framtagna för att mäta psykologisk flexibilitet,

primärt tvångssyndrom (OCD), ångestsyndrom eller depression. Deltagarna
fyllde i självskattningsformulär framtagna för att mäta psykologisk flexibilitet,
tvångssymtom, ångestsymtom och depressiva symtom. Vid jämförelser av
diagnosgrupperna fann vi att de unga med primär diagnos av samsjuklighet
mellan depression och ångest uppvisade högst nivåer av psykologisk
inflexibilitet, följd av gruppen med primär ångest och slutligen gruppen med
primärt tvångssyndrom (OCD). På symtomnivå såg vi signifikanta
korrelationer, på så sätt att psykologisk flexibilitet korrelerade signifikant med
depression och ångest. En korrelation på låg- till medelnivå framkom mellan
psykologisk inflexibilitet och tvång. Dessa korrelationer tydde på att
psykologisk flexibilitet kan antas verka på ett transdiagnostiskt sätt för att
påverka svårighetsgraden både vad gäller ångest och depression hos unga. (Less)
Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine how psychological (in)flexibility was
related to the severity of anxiety, depression, and OCD in youth seeking
treatment for these disorders, and if there was a stronger connection to some of
the psychiatric symptoms. Psychological flexibility can be described as a
fundamental aspect of health or as an encompassing model of human
functioning (Hayes, Strosahl & Wilson, 1999; Kashdan & Rottenberg, 2010).
Participants were 58 treatment-seeking children and adolescents (aged 10-17)
who were diagnosed with primary OCD, anxiety disorder or depression.
Participants completed self-report measures designed to assess psychological
flexibility, OCD, anxiety and depression. In our comparison of the three

who were diagnosed with primary OCD, anxiety disorder or depression.
Participants completed self-report measures designed to assess psychological
flexibility, OCD, anxiety and depression. In our comparison of the three
diagnostic groups, we found that young people with a primary diagnosis of
mixed depression and anxiety had the highest levels of psychological
inflexibility, followed by those with primary anxiety, and finally those with
OCD. On the symptom level, we observed significantly correlations, such that
psychological flexibility was strongly and significantly correlated with
depression and anxiety. A low to moderate correlation was obtained between
psychological flexibility and OCD. These correlations suggest that
psychological flexibility may act in a transdiagnostic way to influence the
severity of both anxiety and depressive symptoms among children and
adolescents. (Less)
