ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the correlation between social and linguistic parenting behaviors and developing capability of children with autism.Methods:From August 2020 to December 2020, the social and linguistic parenting behaviors of 302 parents of children diagnosed with autism were investigated in the outpatient department of the hospital.Meanwhile, the data of Gesell scale for children, the social life competence scale for infant and junior middle school students, the autism behavior checklist and the Cancy autism behavior scale were collected.SPSS 20.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Independent sample t test and analysis of variance were used to compare the social and linguistic parenting behaviors of different parents.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the social and linguistic parenting behaviors of parents and children's developmental ability and symptom severity. Results:There were no statistically significant differences in children's social and language development parenting behavior between father and mother ( t=1.033, P=0.303; t=-0.312, P=0.756). There were no statistically significant differences in children's social and linguistic parenting behaviors between fathers of different age groups ( F=1.425, P=0.244; F=1.127, P=0.345). Among mothers of different age groups, the social parenting behaviors of <30 years old and 30-34 years old groups were significantly better than those of 35-39 years old group ( F=3.374, P=0.019; LSD: P=0.010, P=0.006). Among fathers, the social parenting behavior( F=4.346, P=0.008; LSD: P=0.020, P=0.001) and social + linguistic parenting behavior in the graduate group and college group were significantly better than those in the high school/vocational group( F=3.965, P=0.012; LSD: P=0.020, P=0.002). Among mothers, the social parenting behavior ( F=2.812, P=0.040; LSD: P=0.008, P=0.023, P=0.009), linguistic parenting behavior ( F=3.769, P=0.011; LSD: P=0.010, P=0.025, P=0.001), social + linguistic parenting behavior ( F=3.654, P=0.013; LSD: P=0.005, P=0.015, P=0.002) in graduate and above groups were significantly better than those in college group, high school/vocational group, junior high school and below groups.The scores of social parenting behavior(40.72±6.80), linguistic parenting behavior(27.20±5.22), and social + linguistic parenting behavior(67.92±11.10) were significantly correlated with children’s fine motor(61.75±16.41)( r=0.193, P=0.001; r=0.153, P=0.009; r=0.190, P=0.001), cognition(68.28±16.83)( r=0.231, P=0.000; r=0.186, P=0.001; r=0.229, P=0.000), language(53.01±18.55) ( r=0.262, P=0.000; r=0.305, P=0.000; r=0.304, P=0.000) and social self-care(61.44±17.85) ( r=0.264, P=0.000; r=0.238, P=0.000; r=0.274, P=0.000). The scores of linguistic parenting behavior and social + linguistic parenting behavior were correlated with children's social life ability (8.65±0.89) ( r=0.142, P=0.046; r=0.140, P=0.049). There was no significant correlation between social parenting behavior, linguistic parenting behavior, social + linguistic parenting behavior and the scores of ABC scale (50.53±21.39) ( r=-0.089, P=0.336; r=-0.115, P=0.215; r=-0.107, P=0.250) and CABS scale (13.96±4.54) ( r=-0.050, P=0.490; r=-0.059, P=0.411; r=-0.058, P=0.421). Conclusions:The social and linguistic parenting behaviors are related to their age and educational level, and are significantly correlated to developing capability of children with autism, but have nothing to do with the severity of children's symptoms.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To understand the health status of children in an organization in the urban area of Beijing.Methods:From October to November 2019, 558 children aged from 0 to 13 of employees in an organization in Beijing received physical examination, including height, weight, ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology, heart and lung examination, etc.Statistical analysis was conducted on the items related to physical status and with higher detection rate. Body mass index (BMI)≥P 85(P is the percentile compared to the standardized growth curve) was defined as overweight and BMI≥P 95 as obese. The rate and composition ratio were used to describe the relevant data of each item in children′s physical examination. The differences between different age groups and gender groups were compared with the chi-square test. Results:The items with high detection rate were overweight, obesity, rhinitis, caries, phimosis, etc. The ratio of children′s weight and height ≤P 10 were 3.4% and 2.7%, ≥P 97 were 12.0% and 7.0%respectively; the rates of overweight (BMI≥P 85) and obesity (BMI≥P 95) in children were 13.8% and 13.3% respectively, the ratio of weight ≥P 97, height ≥P 97 and BMI≥P 95all increased with age in all children and in boys (all P<0.05), the ratio of BMI≤P 5 increased with age ( P<0.05), and the ratio of body weight ≥P 75 decreased with age in boys ( P<0.05); the ratio of weight ≥P 75 in boys was significantly higher than that in girls ( P<0.05). The prevalence of rhinitis in children was 39.8%, among which the prevalence of allergic rhinitis was 14.9%.The prevalence of allergic rhinitis in the 3.0-5.9 age group of all children was significantly higher than that in 0.0-0.9 age group and 6.0-9.9 age group (both P<0.05), the prevalence of total rhinitis in the 3.0-5.9 age group of girls was significantly higher than that in 0.0-0.9 age group, 1.0-2.9 age group and 10.0-13.9 age group (all P<0.05). The prevalence of dental caries in children (excluding the group of 0.0-0.9 years old) was 26.0%, the prevalence of dental caries in the 3.0-5.9 age group of all children was significantly higher than that in 1.0-2.9 age group and 10.0-13.9 age group (both P<0.05), the prevalence of dental caries in 3.0-5.9 age group and 6.0-9.9 age group of boys and girls were both significantly higher than that in 1.0-2.9 age group (all P<0.05). The prevalence of phimosis in boyswas 31.5%, the phimosis rates were significantly higher in the 1.0-2.9 age group and 3.0-5.9 age group than that in 6.0-9.9 age group and 10.0-13.9 age group (all P<0.05). No statistical differences were found in the prevalence of allergic rhinitis and dental caries between obese and non-obese children ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The severity of overweight and obesity in children is beyond our expectation, the allergenicity problem is becoming more and more prominent, the prevention and treatment of dental caries needs to be improved urgently, and the phimosis problem in boys needs to be paid attention to.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To follow up the rehabilitation, education, and assistive devices utilization of school age children with cerebral palsy. Methods From 2012 to 2015, 80 children with cerebral palsy were called their parents with telephone and filled in the questionnaires. Results 69 children (85.25%) continued to receive rehabilitation, 11 children (13.75%) stopped rehabilitation. 42 children (56.25%) received education in ordinary schools, 15 children (18.75%) received education in special schools, 4 children (5.00%) were nursed in nursing institu-tion, 16 children (20.00%) stayed at home and did not receive any education. The main problem and needing at present were receiving reha-bilitation, receiving school education, relief the rehabilitation cost of more than one institution, etc. 61 children (76.25%) ever applied for as-sistive devices, 19 children (23.75%) did not. The feedback of application process in order were smoothly;applied, but didn't get;the assis-tive devices that received was inappropriate. 29 children (73.75%) needed assistive devices currently, 21 children (26.25%) did not. When asked the category of needed assistive devices at present, 19 parents (20%) answered that they did not know the category of assistive devices well or they did not know which kind of assistive devices they needed. Conclusion It is important to provide quality and quantity rehabilita-tion and education service, popularize the knowledge of assistive devices and their clinical application for cerebral palsy children. Assistive devices providing departments should do more communication with cerebral palsy children and their parents, in order to reduce the waste of resources, and increase the rational use of resources, and provide more benefits for children with disabilities.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation between developmental function and pathological behavior in children with autism. Methods A total of 154 children with autism were tested with Revised Chinese Version Psycho-Educational Profile (C-PEP) during 2011 to 2014. Results The scores of fine movement, hand-eye coordination, and oral language of developmental function were lower in the girls than in the boys (t>2.120, P10 years than in those aged 6-7 years. There was no difference in the scores of pathological behavior between the girls and the boys (P>0.05). Some pathological behaviors were milder in the older group than in the younger group (P<0.05). The scores ofP(pass) in developmental function were positively correlated with the scores ofA(absence) in pathological behavior (P<0.01), and negatively correlated with the scores ofS(severe) in pathological behavior (P<0.01). The scores ofF(fail) in developmental function were negatively correlated with the scores ofA(absence) in patho-logical behavior (P<0.01), and positively correlated with the scores ofS(severe) in pathological behavior (P<0.01). Conclusion Develop-mental function of children with autism is highly correlated with pathological behavior, and the rehabilitation and education of children with autism aged above 7 years should be concerned.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To evaluate family economic burden of children with autism, or with physical disability or with intellectual disability.Methods227 parents of children with autism, children with physical disability, children with intellectual disability and normal children were interviewed for their family economic burden.ResultsThe medical cost and caring cost of children with disability were significantly more than those of normal children, and the education cost, clothes cost and amusement cost of children with disability were significantly less than those of normal children. Family income was only affected by education level of parents. Families of children with disability received more economic assistance than families of normal children except families of autistic children. More children the family had, less economic assistance the family acquired. Compared with normal children, the family economic burden of children with disability were as following, children with autism (19582.4 RMB per year), children with physical disability (16410.1 RMB per year), children with intellectual disability (6391.0 RMB per year). ConclusionFamilies of children with autism, children with physical disability and children with intellectual disability had heavier economic burden than families of normal children.
