Caregiver perspectives, experiences and service satisfaction, and health service utilization among families of children with developmental disorders at a tertiary center in a low-resource setting / Kirsten A. DONALD in Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 110 (February 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism Spectrum Disorders > 110 (February 2024) . - p.102285 Titre : Caregiver perspectives, experiences and service satisfaction, and health service utilization among families of children with developmental disorders at a tertiary center in a low-resource setting Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Kirsten A. DONALD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.102285 Mots-clés : Neurodevelopmental disorders  Perspectives  Experiences  Satisfaction  Health  Service utilization  Low-resource setting Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background We describe the health perspectives, experiences, and level of service satisfaction among caregivers of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and those with global developmental delays (GDD) attending services at a tertiary paediatric center, and how these influence health services utilization (HSU). Methods In this cross-sectional study, we interviewed caregivers using pre-validated questionnaires to establish their health perspectives, family distress level, healthcare experiences and service satisfaction level. HSU was determined by a review of their medical records in the preceding year. We used descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis to correlate these variables comparing households with children with ASD versus GDD. Results We enrolled 240 children, 116 had ASD and 124 with GDD, within the age range of 3?8 years, and more males (2:1). Overall, most caregivers believed they had a low understanding of these conditions and that existing treatments were not effective. Both groups reported moderate family distress, mean of 3.3 /10 (SD 1.2), and moderate satisfaction level (68.3%). The mean annual frequency of visits was 12.5, but higher in GDD (13.3 vs 11.5). Overall, households that believed that therapy was able to control the illness recorded higher HSU (p = 0.003). Among families with children with ASD, lower family distress (p = 0.003), and higher general satisfaction (p = 0.06) predicted higher HSU. Conclusion Caregivers hold complex perceptions around these conditions that influence their service usage. There is a need to empower the caregivers, decentralize early intervention services, and adopt family-centered approaches in supporting families, to improve service compliance.

Externalizing behavior in preschool children in a South African birth cohort: Predictive pathways in a high-risk context / Susan MALCOLM-SMITH in Development and Psychopathology, 35-2 (May 2023)

However, the associations of various individual and contextual risk factors with mental health in the preschool period are incompletely understood, particularly in low- to middle-income countries (LMICs) where multiple risk factors co-exist. To address this gap, we prospectively followed 981 children in a South African birth cohort, the Drakenstein Child Health Study, assessing pre-and postnatal exposures and risk factors. The predictive value of these factors for child mental health (assessed by the Child Behavior Checklist) was modeled using structural equation modeling. We identified two key pathways to greater externalizing behavior: (1) prenatal exposure to substances (alcohol and smoking) directly predicted increased externalizing behavior (? = 0.24, p < 0.001); this relationship was partially mediated by an aspect of infant temperament (negative emotionality; ? = 0.05, p = 0.016); (2) lower socioeconomic status and associated maternal prenatal depression predicted more coercive parenting, which in turn predicted increased externalizing behavior (? = 0.18, p = 0.001). Findings in this high-risk LMIC cohort cohere with research from higher income contexts, and indicate the need to introduce integrated screening and intervention strategies for maternal prenatal substance use and depression, and promoting positive parenting across the preschool period.

Validity of the SNAP-IV For ADHD Assessment in South African Children With Neurodevelopmental Disorders / Michal R. ZIEFF in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 53-7 (July 2023)

DONALD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2851-2862 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study investigated the psychometric properties of the Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham ADHD Rating Scale (SNAP-IV) in a sample of South African children with neurodevelopmental disorders (n?=?201), primarily Autism Spectrum Disorder and Intellectual Disability. We conducted a confirmatory factor analysis to inspect the two-factor structure of the SNAP-IV. We also calculated ordinal coefficient alpha to estimate internal consistency. Fit statistics for the two-factor model approached acceptable levels. The model fit improved slightly after removing an item related to spoken language. The subscales had acceptable internal consistencies. Findings partially support the use of the SNAP-IV in this group of children. However, there are limitations to its performance in this population likely related to the presence of neurodevelopmental disorders.
