Measurement of Chronic Mental Stress through Short-Form Video Content

 

Introduction

Introduction

  • The WHO has qualified stress as a 'world epidemic' due to its increasingly greater incidence on health.
     
  • High levels of chronic stress have adverse effects on physical and mental health.
     
  • If the stress response system remains active for a prolonged period, this can increase the likelihood of developing several health issues, such as anxiety, depression, and various physical ailments (McEwen, 2007), and add to the global burden of disease (GBD 2019 Mental Disorders Collaborators, 2022).

Introduction

  • Measuring stress is crucial for timely intervention due to its impact on health and well-being. It helps in identifying vulnerable individuals and reducing the causes of stress (Cranwell-Ward, 2005).
     
  • Despite its association with chronic diseases, stress is rarely assessed in primary care, highlighting the need for its routine measurement (Wulsin, 2022).
     
  • Stress measurement also allows for the verification of intervention effectiveness and assessment of individual differences in stress reactivity (Sumińska, 2022).
     
  • However, the lack of a precise definition of stress and a reliable measurement method remain significant challenges (Llobe, 2019).

Literature Review

  • Adolescents in India face many stressors in their day-to-day lives and thus experience high levels of stress. A cross-sectional study with rural adolescent students in Maharashtra showed high prevalence rates of depression (53.9%), anxiety (59.7%), and stress (43.8%) measured with the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and a strong correlation between stress, depression, and anxiety (Shaikh et al., 2018).
     
  • A study with high school students from the south zone of Delhi indicated that stress notably affected adolescents’ mental health, leading to internalizing problems such as anxiety and withdrawal or externalizing problems such as rule-breaking and aggression (Mathew et al., 2015).
  • A large-scale qualitative study was conducted with 191 adolescents from Delhi and Goa, where 22 focus group discussions were conducted to identify the most common stressors experienced by Indian adolescents. The study revealed that academic pressure, romantic relationships, negotiating autonomy, and safety/victimization were the most frequently reported stressors.
     
  • The students felt pressured to perform well academically, were stressed due to parental disapproval or failure of romantic relationships, faced restrictions of personal freedom, felt peer pressure to use substances, and experienced safety concerns such as bullying, corporal punishment, and gender discrimination (Parikh et al., 2019).
     
  • Urban adolescents in Mysore were found to face the following main stressors: family pressure, academic stress, peer-related stress, lack of financial security, and gender discrimination (Nagabharana et al., 2021).
     
  • Girls, also face stress related to gender roles and sexual harassment (Parikh, 2019).

Literature Review

  • A range of methods exist for measuring stress, including self-reporting scales, physiological and biochemical measures, and questionnaires (Downs, 1990; Reisman, 1997; Derevenco, 2000).
     
  • These methods can assess stress factors, reactions, and relationships with the environment, and are particularly useful in diagnosing occupational stress (Derevenco, 2000).
     
  • However, the diagnosis of stress is complex and subject to experimental error.

Literature Review

Literature Review

  • A range of methods have been developed to identify and quantify stressors. Cohen (1995) provides a comprehensive overview, including check-list and interview measurements of stressful life events, as well as the measurement of stress hormones and immune response.
     

  • Sharma (2012) focuses on non-invasive and unobtrusive sensors for measuring stress, and computational techniques for stress recognition and classification.
     

  • Cooper (1983) reviews research on work stressors, such as shift work, job overload, and role conflicts.
     

  • Aguiló (2015) presents a method to objectively quantify stress levels, based on the identification of stress types and indicators, and the use of psychometric tests and well-documented stressors.

     

Rationale

  • Chronic stress in adolescence is a more pressing problem.
     
  • Studies have shown that chronic stress in adolescence has deteriorating impact on several aspects of them including lowered academic performance, low self-esteem, high demands,  poor health, and insufficient sleep. (Schraml, 2012).
     
  • Furthermore, The growing prevalence of stress, anxiety, and depression in adolescents is a concern, with potential impacts on brain development and treatment options (McKain, 2019).
     

Rationale

  • The rise of viewership of short-form video content is an Interesting Phenomenon
     

 

 

  • The Adolescent population in Particular is a large consumer of short-form video content, and its almost a second-hand habit to scroll through reels, and liking has become almost an unconscious effort one might take. 

Research Gap

  • Several studies have studied the negative impacts of short-form video content on the youth population (Muda (2018)).

     
  • Various other studies have looked into the possibility of using short-form video content as an intervention. (Yuting Yang,2023) For example, investigated the effect of a short video-based mental health intervention on depressive symptoms in Chinese adolescents.
     
  • These efforts and studies suggest a strong tie between short-form video content and mental health, But No studies till now have tried to use short-form video content to estimate/quantify one's mental state like stress/ to identify stressors.
     
  • We believe This type of measurement would be highly relevant, and a  natural means of measurement for the adolescent population. 

Objectives

  • Hence our Interdisciplinary study aims to access the following:

Given A sequence of reels/shorts(Short form video Content) , and which reels/shorts a person likes (Liking Pattern), be used as an estimator for chronic stress, and possibly identify the stressors.

Objectives

1) Given A sequence of reels/shorts(Short form video Content), and which reels/shorts a person likes (Liking Pattern), be used as an estimator for chronic stress, and possibly identify the stressors.
 

2) Can shorts/Reels be used as in Intervention to improve mental mood?

PRIMARY:

SECONDARY:

1) Develop a RAG Based Chatbot for patient information about stress

 

2) Try different affective modalities as augmented information to improve the outcomes mentioned in the primary objectives

  •  Dr. Sanjay Pandey ( Head of Neurology and Stroke Medicine, Amrita Hospital, Faridabad ) 

Methodology

Methodology

  • A scrutinized pool or reels/shorts will be collected and tagged. 
  • A participant will be shown a sequence of reels, following a sampling strategy from the pool of reels for a stipulated period, like 2 min. 
  • The like patterns of the participants are analyzed and the system tries to give a score and identify the stressor. 
  • The scores will be accessed to see if there is data agreement with standardized psycometric tests
