ROLE OF PARENT’S ATTRIBUTIONAL STYLE AND PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIP IN INCREASING SELF-ESTEEM OF CHILDREN WITH DYSLEXIA

Dyslexia is a specific learning disorder due to difficulties in phonological processing that impacts on the fluency and reading comprehension ability. The aim of this research is to identify the role of parents’ attributional style and parent-child relationship in determining the level of self-esteem in children with dyslexia. There are 24 respondents who consist of the parent or the caregiver of children with dyslexia along with the child were invited to participate in this research. The method used in this research is a cross-sectional study design using a quantitative approach. The researcher used three different tests to measure the variables involved. Tests used in this research consist of Causal Dimensional Scale II, Parent-Child Relationship Inventory and Rosenberg’s Self Esteem Scale. Results showed there is a significant relationship between parents’ attributional style and level of self-esteem in children with dyslexia. Attributional style measured in this research consists of four dimensions namely, locus of causality, external control, stability, and personal control. However, only two of the dimensions mentioned above are significantly related to the level of self-esteem in children with dyslexia. The two dimensions are external control (r = 0.408, p > 0.05) and personal control (r = 0.557, p > 0.05). Whereas, results showed there is no significant relationship between the parent-child relationship and the level of self-esteem of children with dyslexia. In a nutshell, the role of parents’ attributional style in determining the level of self-esteem in children with dyslexia is notably significant while the relationship of parent-child does not influence the level of self-esteem in children with dyslexia.

Childhood obesity and its association with the feeling of unhappiness and low levels of self-esteem in children of public schools

overweight children are at increased risk for psychosocial disorders. the purpose of this research was to relate the condition of overweight and obesity to the levels of self-esteem and happiness in schoolchildren of public schools. a total of 364 schoolchildren (180 boys and 184 girls) were enrolled between eleven and 13 years old (12.44 ± 1.14 years old). Anthropometric measurements were performed and the levels of self-esteem and happiness were evaluated through the School Self-Esteem Test (APT). RESULS: school self-esteem was significantly higher in boys (p < 0.001); 55.49% (n = 204) of the students evaluated were overweight. Overweight and obese subjects had lower levels of self-esteem compared to normal weight children (p = 0.032). In addition, 43 students had very low self-esteem, and a relationship between very low and low self-esteem levels (n = 119) and the overweight and obesity was observed (p = 0.033). In relation to the question "Am I a happy person?", a greater proportion of students answered positively (n = 296). The negative response to the question was associated with weight excess (p = 0.042). overweight and obesity were related to low levels of self-esteem and happiness in schoolchildren. These results are alarming since self-esteem is one's appreciation of oneself and happiness is an index of subjective personal well-being and is a topic that concerns families and the entire education system.

The effect of educational therapy on self-esteem and problem behaviors in children with specific learning disability

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of educational therapy on the level of self-esteem and problem behaviors in children diagnosed with specific learning disability (SLD). Methods: A total of 150 children between 9-11 years of age were included in the study. Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) and SLD test battery was administered to all children who were diagnosed with SLD. Piers-Harris Children’s Self-Concept Scale, Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL 6-18) and Teacher’s Report Form were also used. The scales were administered again to children in the educational therapy group when the therapy was completed and to children in the control group after three months. Results: The level of self-esteem in children with a diagnosis of SLD was found to be lower than the normal developing children. Scores related to behavioral problems in CBCL 6-18 and TRF 6-18 were found higher in children with a diagnosis of SLD than the normal developing children. In the evaluations performed after the therapy, a significant difference was found in the SLD test battery scores of the children who were diagnosed with SLD and were administered educational therapy compared to the SLD test battery scores of those on the waiting list. In the evaluations performed after the educational therapy, an increase in the level of self-esteem and a decrease in problem behavior scores were found in the group that were diagnosed with SLD and received educational therapy. Discussion: Educational therapy was found to increase the level of self-esteem and to decrease behavioral problems and symptoms of SLD in children. However, other psychosocial factors are thought to play a role in children’s better detection themselves except improvement signs of SLD with education. More specific studies are needed on the impact of these factors.

Impact of Comorbidities on Self-Esteem of Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Background: 2 decades of research had found that comorbid disorders occur in children with ADHD more than by chance. The role of comorbidities in influencing the self-esteem of children with ADHD is still less explored. Aims: To study the various domains of self-esteem in children with ADHD and to evaluate the effect of comorbidities on low self-esteem in ADHD children. Methods And Materials: 60 subjects aged 6 to 16 years who were diagnosed based on DSM IV as ADHD were recruited with informed consent, from tertiary care hospital for a period of 6 months by consecutive sampling. Based on detailed interview of subjects and parents using the Semi structured assessment schedule K- SADS – PL for comorbidities, children with ADHD were grouped as those with and without comorbidities. While severity of ADHD was assessed by Conner’s Parent’s 10 item abbreviated index, self-esteem was assessed by Culture free self-esteem inventory. Results: Parent related self-esteem was lower in ADHD children with comorbid internalizing disorders when compared to ADHD children with comorbid externalizing disorders. Higher severity of ADHD and longer duration of ADHD correlated with lower self-esteem, (especially social domain). Conclusions: Comorbidities definitely influence the level of self-esteem in children with ADHD, but other factors also need to be considered for optimal management of low self-esteem.

Effect of intervention on self-esteem level in children with epilepsy based on cross theoretical model

Objective To investigate the effect of (the transtheoretical model of change,TTM) on the level of self-esteem in children with epilepsy (EP). Methods 65 cases of EP were divided into intervention group with 31 cases and control group with 34 cases by random number table. The two groups were treated with anti EP drug treatment and nursing, the use of the change stage and the Self-Esteem Scale (SES) for the baseline assessment, the intervention group according to the assessment results to develop individual TTM intervention measures, the control group received general health education and psychological care, for a period of 6 months. Two groups of patients were followed up for 6 months after hospital discharge, and the distribution of the changes in the changes of the patients and the change of self-esteem scores were analyzed. Results Before the intervention, two groups in the intention stage, preparation stage, operation stage and maintenance stage self-esteem score comparison, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05); 6 months after the intervention, the change of phase of self-esteem, the intervention group respectively were (22.61 + 2.88) points, (22.78 + 1.56) points, (24.03 + 1.5) points, (24.39 + 1.60) points, in the control group were (21.15 + 2.44) points, (21.39 + 2.21) points, (22.26 + 2.33) points, (22.01 + 2.31) points, with significant differences between the two groups (t=1.12-3.38, P<0.01). Two groups from the former intention phase to maintain the stage of change in the number of children were increased, the intervention group was better than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (χ2=15.00, P<0.01). Conclusions Using TTM as the guidance can improve the self-esteem of children with EP. Key words: Transtheoretical model; Children with epilepsy; Self-esteem; Intervention study

Estudio de la autoestima infantil en función del sexo

&lt;p&gt;El siguiente estudio propone describir los niveles de autoestima de niños y niñas así como analizar si existen diferencias en función del sexo. Para ello, contamos con una muestra constituida por 1.757 niños y niñas de entre 3 y 7 años de edad. Para la evaluación de la autoestima utilizamos el cuestionario EDINA, que presenta un índice de fiabilidad adecuado (0.803).El nivel de autoestima de las niñas y niños estudiados resultó ser elevado. Los análisis estadísticos realizados mostraron: a) puntuaciones significativamente superiores en la autoestima de las niñas; b) una disminución de la misma en los niños y niñas de mayor edad; c) diferencias en función de la variable nivel socioeconómico; y d) un nivel de autoestima más alto en los niños que tienen tutora a cargo del grupo clase.

Self‐esteem of children and adolescents with chronic illness: a meta‐analysis

Chronic illness may be a risk factor for low self-esteem; however, previous meta-analyses are inconclusive whether children with a chronic illness have lower self-esteem than their healthy peers. The goal of the present study was to summarize available research in order to compare the self-esteem of children and adolescents with a chronic illness with that of healthy children. Random-effects meta-analysis was used to integrate the results of 621 empirical studies that compare levels of self-esteem of children with a chronic physical illness with healthy peers or general test norms. Studies were identified via the electronic databases Adolesc, Embase, Google Scholar, MEDLINE, PSNYDEX, PSYCINFO, and cross-referencing. Children with chronic illnesses have lower self-esteem than healthy peers or test norms (g = -0.18 standard deviation units). The lowest levels of self-esteem were observed in children with chronic fatigue syndrome and chronic headaches. Lower levels of self-esteem in children with a chronic illness were found in girls than in boys, in adolescents than in children, in children from developing or threshold countries, when results were collected from observer ratings rather than child reports, in studies published in the 1990s, and when children with chronic illnesses were directly compared with healthy children instead of test norms. Paediatricians, parents, and teachers should promote experiences of success and positive peer-relations, which are important sources of self-esteem. In addition, psychosocial interventions for children with chronic illnesses should be offered for children with reduced self-esteem.

THE VACCINATION QUESTION

<h3>Objective</h3> Although asthma has been linked to psychological morbidity, this relationship may be confounded by poor asthma control. We aimed to compare the prevalence of anxiety, depression and low level of self-esteem in children with well-controlled asthma with that of healthy peers. <h3>Setting</h3> Dedicated asthma clinic in a general hospital. <h3>Patients</h3> 70 patients with mostly well-controlled asthma and 70 matched healthy controls. <h3>Interventions</h3> Comprehensive asthma education, management and follow-up for asthma patients. <h3>Main outcome measures</h3> Validated Dutch versions of the Childhood Depression inventory (CDI), Revised Fear Survey for Children (RFSC), Self Perception Profile for Children (SPC-C) and Adolescents (SPC-A) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC). Asthma control assessed by asthma control questionnaire. <h3>Results</h3> No significant differences were found in total scores between asthmatics and controls (95% CI for difference −0.2 to 2.9 for CDI, −5.9 to 11.2 for RFSC, −19.9 to 6.3 for SPC-C, −24.1 to 5.0 for SPC-A and −2.7 to 0.01 for STAIC). There were also no significant differences between asthmatics and controls in the prevalence of scores exceeding cut-off levels for clinically relevant anxiety (13.3 vs 13.0%, p=0.605), depression (12.9 vs 5.7%, p=0.243) or low self-esteem (21.4 vs 12.9%, p=0.175). A significant correlation was found between poorer asthma control and CDI (p=0.012) and anxiety trait symptoms (p&lt;0.001). <h3>Conclusions</h3> <i>C</i>hildren with well-controlled asthma enrolled in a comprehensive asthma management programme do not have an increased risk of anxiety, depression and poor self-esteem. Earlier reports of psychological comorbidity in asthma may have been related to inadequately controlled asthma.
