- ItemSomente MetadadadosThe CBCL and the identification of children with autism and related conditions in Brazil: Pilot findings(Kluwer Academic/plenum Publ, 2003-12-01) Duarte, C. S.; Bordin, IAS; Oliveira, A. de; Bird, H.; Columbia Univ; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL)/4-18 is one of the few standardized means available for assessing child mental health in Brazil. in this context, the identification of a specific pathology such as autism by the CBCL/4-18 is relevant. To examine the validity of the CBCL/4-18 for the identification of autism, the CBCL/4-18 was applied to 101 children: 36 with autism and related conditions, 31 with other psychiatric disorders, and 34 schoolchildren. Children ranged in age from 4 to 11 years. A CBCL factor called Autistic/Bizarre and the narrow-band Thought Problems scale differentiated autistic conditions from other psychiatric disorders and schoolchildren. Conclusion: the CBCL/4-16 can identify autistic children in clinical and school settings in Brazil.
- ItemSomente MetadadadosFactors associated with stress in mothers of children with autism(Sage Publications Ltd, 2005-10-01) Duarte, C. S.; Bordin, I. A.; Yazigi, L.; Mooney, J.; Columbia Univ; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)The objective of this case-control study was to investigate the determinants of maternal stress in mothers of children with autism. Mothers of 31 children with autism from mental health clinics were matched by child age/gender and mother age to 31 mothers of children without mental health problems, drawn from public schools and a primary care unit. Logistic regression models showed that the presence of stress in mothers was primarily associated with having a child with autism. However, poor expression of affect, little interest in people, being an older mother, and having a younger child also contributed to increased stress levels. Although having a child with autism was the main factor responsible for stress, the presence of the other factors further increased maternal stress. the implication is that a subgroup of mothers of children with autism is more prone to experience stress, thus requiring special attention from mental health professionals.
