Children's perceptions of neighbourhood trustworthiness and safety and their mental health / Howard MELTZER in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 48-12 (December 2007)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 48-12 (December 2007) . - p.1208–1213 Titre : Children's perceptions of neighbourhood trustworthiness and safety and their mental health Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Howard MELTZER, Auteur ; Robert GOODMAN, Auteur ; Tamsin FORD, Auteur ; Panos VOSTANIS, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : p.1208–1213 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Childhood psychopathology neighbourhood trust safety Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Many studies have described associations between adult psychiatric disorder among adults and their biographic, socio-demographic and social capital characteristics. Fewer studies have focused on children, and most of these have looked at structural indicators of the neighbourhood. Our objective was to examine one aspect of social capital – perceived neighbourhood trust and safety in relation to childhood psychopathology. Methods: Data on childhood psychopathology and perceived neighbourhood trust and safety were obtained on 3,340 11 to 16-year-olds included in a large survey of the mental health carried out in 426 postal sectors in Great Britain. Data were collected on biographic and socio-demographic characteristics of the child and the family, measures of social capital and neighbourhood prosperity. We entered all these variables into a logistic regression analysis to establish the strength of association between perceived neighbourhood trust and safety separately for emotional and conduct disorders. Results: Children's perception of their neighbourhoods in terms of the trustworthiness or honesty of the people who live there or feeling safe walking alone had a strong association with childhood psychopathology, particularly emotional disorders, rather than the nature of the neighbourhood itself. Children's behaviour, however, such as going to the park or shops alone, did not vary by measures of childhood psychopathology. Conclusions: Regeneration of less prosperous neighbourhoods is likely to increase children's positive perceptions of trust, honesty and safety which in turn can have a positive effect on their mental health.

Information Processing in Recovered Depressed Children and Adolescents / Tim DALGLEISH in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 39-7 (October 1998)

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 39-7 (October 1998) . - p.1031-1035 Titre : Information Processing in Recovered Depressed Children and Adolescents Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Tim DALGLEISH, Auteur ; Hamid NESHAT-DOOST, Auteur ; Reza TAGHAVI, Auteur ; Ali MORADI, Auteur ; William YULE, Auteur ; Rachel CANTERBURY, Auteur ; Panos VOSTANIS, Auteur Année de publication : 1998 Article en page(s) : p.1031-1035 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Probability estimates  childhood depression  recovered depression  cognitive processing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Previous research into subjective probability estimates for negative events revealed that depressed children estimated events as equally likely to happen to themselves as to other children. In contrast, both controls and anxious children estimated that negative events were more likely to happen to others than to themselves. The present study followed up this finding by investigating the subjective probability judgements concerning future negative events generated by children and adolescents who have recovered from depression. Subjects generated probability estimates either for themselves or for other children for a range of negative events on a visual analogue scale. The results revealed that both recovered depressed and matched control groups estimated negative events as significantly more likely to happen to others than to themselves. It was also found that the recovered depressed subjects estimated that negative events were less likely overall, compared to the controls. These results are discussed in the context of the adult literature.

Parental Concerns of Early Development in Children with Autism and Related Disorders / Panos VOSTANIS in Autism, 2-3 (September 1998)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 2-3 (September 1998) . - p.229-242 Titre : Parental Concerns of Early Development in Children with Autism and Related Disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Panos VOSTANIS, Auteur ; Beryl SMITH, Auteur ; John CORBETT, Auteur ; Reena SUNGUM-PALIWAL, Auteur ; Aylif EDWARDS, Auteur ; Kate GINGELL, Auteur ; Rachel GOLDING, Auteur ; Angela MOORE, Auteur ; Jane WILLIAMS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.229-242 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Parents of consecutively referred children with autism (39), Asperger syndrome (13), atypical autism (15), learning disability (20) and semantic-pragmatic disorder (14) completed a questionnaire on concerns regarding their child's development between 12 and 18 months. The early development questionnaire included scales of communication and language, social relationships and play behaviour. The autism and the learning disability groups differed significantly on most items. The diagnosis of autism was best predicted by play behaviour items and lack of referential gestures. Factor analysis within the autism group identified factors involving items from different scales, such as lack of physical contact, social communication and imitative skills. Children with the diagnosis of semantic-pragmatic disorders had relatively high rates of early difficulties in social development. Implications for the screening and detection of autism and related disorders in early life and for the training of professionals involved are discussed.

Post-traumatic Stress Reactions in Children of War / Abdel Aziz Mousa THABET 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.385-391 Titre : Post-traumatic Stress Reactions in Children of War Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Abdel Aziz Mousa THABET, Auteur ; Panos VOSTANIS, Auteur Année de publication : 1999 Article en page(s) : p.385-391 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Post-traumatic stress  war  trauma  children Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The aims of this study were to estimate the rate of post-traumatic stress reactions in Palestinian children who experienced war traumas, and to investigate the relationship between trauma-related factors and PTSD reactions. The sample consisted of 239 children of 6 to 11 years of age. Measures included the Rutter A2 (parent) and B2 (teacher) scales, the Gaza Traumatic Event Checklist, and the Child Post-Traumatic Stress Reaction Index. Of the sample, 174 children (72.8%) reported PTSD reactions of at least mild intensity, while 98 (41%) reported moderate/severe PTSD reactions. Caseness on the Rutter A2 scale was detected in 64 children (26.8%), which correlated well with detection of PTSD reactions, but not with teacher-detected caseness. The total number of experienced traumas was the best predictor of presence and severity of PTSD. Intervention programmes for post-war children need to be evaluated, taking into account developmental and cultural aspects, as well as characteristics of the communities involved.

Practitioner Review: Children in foster care ? vulnerabilities and evidence-based interventions that promote resilience processes / Leslie D. LEVE in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 53-12 (December 2012)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 53-12 (December 2012) . - p.1197-1211 Titre : Practitioner Review: Children in foster care ? vulnerabilities and evidence-based interventions that promote resilience processes Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Leslie D.

Children in foster care are at increased risk for a host of negative outcomes encompassing emotional, behavioral, neurobiological, and social realms. Methods: Areas of risk and vulnerability among foster children are described, including emotional and behavioral deficits, impaired neurobiological development, and social relationship deficits. Evidence suggesting the significance of family placement changes and prenatal exposure to substances as contributing mechanisms is presented. Based on a systematic search of the PsycINFO database (to March 2012), eight efficacious evidence-based interventions for foster families are summarized. Findings: Although the development of evidence-based interventions that improve outcomes for foster children has lagged behind the delivery of interventions in other service sectors (e.g., mental health and educational sectors), several interventions across childhood and adolescence offer promise. Service system constraints offer both challenges and opportunities for more routine implementation of evidence-based interventions. Conclusions: Given the increased likelihood of poor outcomes for foster children, increased efforts to understand the pathways to vulnerability and to implement interventions shown to be effective in remediating risks and improving outcomes for this population are indicated. Evaluation of efficacious interventions in countries outside of the United States is also needed.
