ABSTRACT

A pesar de que los niños con discapacidad motora exclusiva no tienen discapacidad intelectual y deberían concurrir a escolaridad común, en la práctica pediátrica observamos un alto nivel de heterogeneidad en la escolaridad de estos niños. El objetivo de nuestro estudio fue establecer la prevalencia de disfunción escolar en niños con discapacidad motora exclusiva que concurren a un hospital de referencia y explorar si existen variables demográficas, sociales, médicas y/o escolares relacionadas con la disfunción. Se realizó un estudio trasversal, observacional, analítico y comparativo. Se incluyeron 288 pacientes con discapacidad motora exclusiva de 5 a 19 años (septiembre de 2011-febrero de 2012). El 25% (72) presentó disfunción escolar. El antecedente de cirugía (OR= 10,8 [4,23-27,57]), la baja escolaridad materna (OR= 4,20 [1,18-14,9]), el dolor crónico (OR= 3,62 [1,77-7,40]) y el uso de silla de ruedas (OR 3,01 [1,48-6,10]) resultaron factores de riesgo estadísticamente significativos para presentar disfunción escolar. El ser hijo único (OR= 0,09 [0,01-0,54]) fue, en esta muestra, un factor protector.


Although children with only motor disabilities have no intellectual disabilities and should attend a regular school, in the pediatric practice it has been observed that there is a high level of heterogeneity in their education. The objective of our study was to establish the prevalence of school dysfunction in children with only motor disabilities who are seen in a reference hospital, and explore if there are socio-demographic, medical and/or school outcome measures related to school dysfunction. The study was cross-sectional, observational, analytical, and comparative. Two hundred and eighty-eight 5 to 19 year old patients with only motor disabilities were included (September 2011-February 2012). Of them, 25% (72) had school dysfunction. A history of surgery (OR= 10.8 [4.23-27.57]), a poor maternal education (OR= 4.20 [1.18-14.9]), chronic pain (OR= 3.62 [1.77-7.40]), and the use of a wheelchair (OR= 3.01 [1.48-6.10]) were found to be statistically significant risk factors for school dysfunction. In our sample, being an only child (OR= 0.09 [0.01-0.54]) was a protective factor
