Analysis of related factors of behavioral problems in children with congenital pseudarthrosis of tibia.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with behavioral problems in children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia. METHODS: Random sampling is utilized to obtain a sample of 90 patients. The behavioral problems of the patients are detected by Achenbach Children's Behavior Scale. Parental emotional problems are investigated by the Self-Rating Depression Scale and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale. RESULTS: The results demonstrate that the detection rate of behavioral problems in children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia is 53.3% (48/90). Among these behavioral problems, an abnormal rate is higher in the four dimensions: thinking, violation of discipline, social interaction, and aggression. The anxiety and depression scores of caregivers are statistically higher in the abnormal group than in the normal group. The results of the multivariate analysis show that the anxiety degree of the parents had a significant impact on the behavior of the children. CONCLUSIONS: Children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia are facing the issues of high rates of behavioral problems. Parents of children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia had higher levels of anxiety and depression than parents of normal children. The anxiety and depressive state of mind of parents or caregivers had a significant impact on the behavior of children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia.

Analysis of Influencing Factors of Family Resilience in Children with Congenital Tibial Pseudoarthrosis.

AIM: To investigate the status of the family resilience score of caregivers of children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) and analyse its influencing factors to provide a reference and basis for clinical formulation of a family resilience intervention programme. METHODS: A total of 379 families of children with CPT were included in this study, which used a combination questionnaire to investigate the families of children with CPT. The researchers sent a link to the questionnaire to all eligible subjects to conduct a survey on the characteristics of families of children with CPT. Single factor analysis was used to compare the total scores of family resilience. Multiple linear regression was used to determine meaningful variables for single factor analysis. RESULTS: The average family resilience score was 151.79 ± 30.79, the lowest score was 20 and the highest score was 231. The CPT usually occurred in unilateral limbs (37.63%). The payment methods of medical expenses were through a rural cooperative medical system (44.85%). The caregivers were mostly the mothers (62.80%) and caregivers were 31-40 years old (62.27%). Most caregivers were farmers (30.34%). The average monthly income of the families in the past year was 1000-5000 yuan (54.09%). There were significant differences in family resilience scores between caregivers' working conditions (P = 0.039) and average monthly incomes in the past year (P = 0.008). The working conditions of caregivers and the average monthly income of families in the past year were the main factors affecting the family resilience of caregivers of children with CPT. CONCLUSION: The caregivers' working conditions and the average monthly income of families were the influencing factors in the family resilience score.
