DSM-IV AD/HD: Confirmatory Factor Models, Prevalence, and Gender and Age Differences Based on Parent and Teacher Ratings of Australian Primary School Children / R. GOMEZ in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 40-2 (February 1999)

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 40-2 (February 1999) . - p.265-274 Titre : DSM-IV AD/HD: Confirmatory Factor Models, Prevalence, and Gender and Age Differences Based on Parent and Teacher Ratings of Australian Primary School Children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : R. GOMEZ, Auteur ; J. HARVEY, Auteur ; C. QUICK, Auteur ; I. SCHARER, Auteur ; Gillian HARRIS, Auteur Année de publication : 1999 Article en page(s) : p.265-274 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : DSM-IV AD/HD  confirmatory factor models  prevalence  Australia Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Based on parent and teacher ratings of primary school children on a scale comprising the 18 DSM-IV AD/HD symptoms, this study used confirmatory factor analysis to compare three models: all items in one factor; inattention in one and hyperactivity and impulsivity items in a separate factor; and inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity items in three separate factors. It also examined the prevalence rates of the three AD/HD Types, and gender and age differences. Results supported both the two- and three-factor models, with the three-factor model only slightly better than the two-factor model. Based on parent-teacher agreement, the prevalence rates were 1.6, 0.2 and 0.6% for the Inattentive, Hyperactive-Impulsive, and Combined Types, respectively. Overall, the male to female ratio was 5: 1, and boys were rated higher than girls by both parents and teachers. Age differences were minimal. The implications of the findings in relation to some of the assumptions made in DSM-IV for AD/HD are discussed.

Post-traumatic Stress Responses Following Liver Transplantation in Older Children / Anne Marie WALKER in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 40-3 (March 1999)

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 40-3 (March 1999) . - p.363-374 Titre : Post-traumatic Stress Responses Following Liver Transplantation in Older Children Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anne Marie WALKER, Auteur ; Gillian HARRIS, Auteur ; Alastair BAKER, Auteur ; Deirdre KELLY, Auteur ; Judith HOUGHTON, Auteur Année de publication : 1999 Article en page(s) : p.363-374 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Post-traumatic stress  paediatric liver transplantation  asthma  surgical operation  children  dissociation Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Eighteen children aged between 7 and 16 years who had undergone a liver transplantation were interviewed using the Child Post-Traumatic Stress Reaction Index (CPTS-RI) to discover if they had post-traumatic stress symptoms. A case control design was used to define which factors were important for the development of post-traumatic stress. Results of a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), with post-traumatic stress symptom intensity as measured on the CPTS-RI as the dependant variable, revealed a significant difference between the liver transplantation group compared with children who had a chronic life-threatening illness or had undergone a routine surgical operation. A post hoc (Tukey's HSD test) statistical analysis was performed and significance at the .05 level was found between the liver transplantation group and both the chronic illness group and the routine surgical operation group. Our results indicate that the acute life-threat involved in the liver transplantation contributed to the development of post-traumatic stress. It was thought that dissociation may be important in preventing the resolution of the trauma. Additional investigations are needed with larger numbers in a longitudinal study beginning before the transplant to determine the course of the PTSD symptoms and the appropriate timing of interventions to reduce the harmful effects of these symptoms.
