sini: This study used a sample of Korean adolescents to evaluate: (a) associations between problematic initaneti use and depression, bipolar disorder symptoms and suicidal ideation; and (b) whether mood disorders mediate the relationship between problematic initaneti use and suicidal ideation.

Metotia: A total of 795 middle and high school students were recruited (538 girls; mean age, 13.87 ± 1.51 years). le Initoneti onāga i vailāʻau Proneness Scale for Youth-Short Form (KS-scale) was used to evaluate the presence and severity of problematic initaneti use. The frequencies of depression, suicidal ideation and probable bipolar disorder were compared between adolescents with and without initaneti onāga i vailāʻau. The associations between the severity of problematic initaneti use and the severity of depressive symptoms, bipolar symptoms and suicidal ideation were also analyzed.

Tali: Seventy-five adolescents (9.4%) met the criteria for problematic initaneti use. The presence of problematic initaneti use was significantly associated with suicidal ideation (OR = 5.82, 95% CI = 3.30-10.26, p < 0.001) as well as depression (OR = 5.00, 95% CI = 2.88-8.66, p < 0.001). There was a marginally significant association between problematic initaneti use and probable bipolar disorder (OR = 3.05, 95% CI = 0.96-9.69, p = 0.059). In the path model, problematic initaneti use significantly predicted depressive symptoms (β = 0.296, 95% CI = 0.214-0.367, p = 0.005), which predicted suicidal ideation (β = 0.699, 95% CI = 0.631-0.751, p = 0.009). Problematic initaneti use also predicted suicidal ideation directly (β = 0.115, 95% CI = 0.052-0.193, p = 0.006). Conversely, depressive symptoms (β = 0.119, 95% CI = -0.005-0.219, p = 0.040) and suicidal ideation (β = 0.215, 95% CI = 0.089-0.346, p = 0.005) predicted problematic initaneti faʻaaoga.

Faaiuga: There is a complex transactional relationship between problematic initaneti use, depressive symptoms, bipolar symptoms and suicidal ideation, so these conditions must be assessed together during the evaluation of adolescents. Prospective studies are warranted to elucidate the causal relationships between problematic initaneti use, mood symptoms and suicidal ideation.
