abstract="Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are known to be closely related to depression, anxiety and sleep problems. However, it remains unclear whether adolescents with  ACEs have sleep problems regardless of depression or anxiety or under a mediating  effect from depression or anxiety. Therefore, our aim was to examine whether  depression or anxiety mediates the relationship between ACEs and sleep problems in  adolescents by using a community sample. The Early Trauma Inventory Self  Report-Short Form (ETISR-SF) and List of Threatening Experiences Questionnaire  (LTE-Q) were used to assess traumatic ACEs. Ultimately, data from 737 students (M =  448, F = 289, 15.1 ± 1.4 years old) were included in the statistical analysis. A  total of 576 (78.1%) participants reported that they had experienced one or more  ACEs. Adolescents with ACEs had higher levels of depression, anxiety and sleep  problems than did adolescents without ACEs, and boys tended to experience more  trauma than girls. Depression and anxiety partially mediated the relationship  between ACEs and sleep problems. The results of this study suggest the need for  depression and anxiety interventions for adolescents with ACEs to reduce the  long-term consequences, including sleep problems and physical health problems.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
