AbstractObjective:Non-cardiac chest pain is a common and persistent problem for children; yet, typically, there is no clear medical cause. To date, no behavioural and/or psychological factors have been studied to explain chest pain in a pre-school paediatric sample. We hypothesized that pre-school children with medically unexplained chest pain would have higher rates of behavioural problems compared to healthy controls.Methods:We assessed 41 pre-school children with non-cardiac chest pain and 68 age matched children with benign heart murmurs as the control group using the Child Behaviour Check List-1 1/2–5 to evaluate emotional and behavioural problems.Results:Internalizing problem scores comprising emotionally reactive, anxiety/depression, and somatic complaints were higher in children with non-cardiac chest pain than in the control group. Among the possible factors, the factor that is related to behaviour problem scores, in univariate analysis, was a significant and inverse correlation between maternal education and behaviour problem scores. Also, maternal employment status was associated with behavioural problems. Children with a housewife mother were more susceptible to having such behavioural problems. Based on multiple regression analyses, being in the non-cardiac chest pain group was found to be significantly related to internalizing problems in our total sample.Conclusions:These results suggest that pre-school children with non-cardiac chest pain may experience increased levels of certain behavioural comorbidities. Systematic behavioural screening could increase the detection of behavioural problems and improve care for this population. Future studies of non-cardiac chest pain in pre-school children should include larger samples and comprehensive diagnostic assessments as well as long-term follow-up evaluations.

BackgroundRefugees have long been considered at risk for mental disorder. We sought to characterise this risk in an out-patient refugee sample by analysing the relationship between psychiatric symptoms and dysfunction, and between symptoms and the socio-demographic background and stressors specific to this refugee sample.MethodA consecutive sample of 231 refugee patients referred to the psychiatric out-patient unit at the Psychosocial Centre for Refugees, University of Oslo, was examined with a semi-structured interview guide, Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), Hopkins Symptom Check-List (HSCL-25) and a check-list for post-traumatic symptoms (PTSS-10). Global Assessment of Function (GAF) scores were obtained; and the data were analysed using nine predictor variables.ResultsIt was found that 46.6% of the patients had a post-traumatic stress disorder according to the criteria for DSM–III–R as the main diagnosis, while the mean GAF score for the patients was 57.3. Analysis of the GAF and BPRS data did not reveal any predictor of psychotic behaviour. However, torture emerged as an important predictor of emotional withdrawal/retardation. Also, age, gender and no employment or education predicted for anxiety/depression, while refugee status and no employment or school predicted for hostility/aggression.ConclusionsThe results confirm earlier findings that refugees constitute a population at risk for mental disorder. Past traumatic stressors and current existence in exile constitute independent risk factors. However, stressors other than those discussed here appear to be important also, particularly with regard to psychotic symptoms.

Adolescence is a most crucial period in a person’s life because rapid changes occur in physical, psychological and emotional spheres. Due to the immaturity and emotional turmoil the adolescent undergoes in this period a safe, nurturing environment is essential for the adolescents to grow up in to a well adjusted person. The aim of this study to assess the influence of psychosocial stressors on emotional and behavioral problems of school adolescents. The study conducted at Govt. Higher secondary school for boys and girls at Guduvancheri in Kanchipuram District, Chennai. A mixed method research design was used for collecting data from 8th to 12th standard students’ age between 13-17 years. The stratified random sampling technique was used to collect data from 100 samples with help of the standard tool child behaviour check list (CBCL)YSR 11-18year. The result revealed that in comparing the CBCL score between the male and female adolescents having significant difference in rule breaking behaviour p<0.003 and thought problems p<0.001. Out of 100 samples 10 Adolescents were selected who had emotional and behavioural problems and were sharing their problems and express their stressors. By this personal discussion found out the root stressors such as poor parental relationship (alcoholic father), insecure home environment, peer pressure, inadequate economical support and academic pressure lead them for loneliness, inferiority, hopelessness, anxiety, involvement of immoral behaviors.

Deficits in self-regulatory skills underlie or contribute to a range of adverse developmental problems and disorders, including ADHD (Barkley, 1997), eating disorders (Attie & Brooks-Gunn, 1995) and risk-taking behaviour (Cantor & Sanderson 1998; Eisenberg et al., 2005). Self-regulation has been recognised as an important factor in aiding academic achievements of school-age children. There is less knowledge of the subject in early childhood, yet the development of self-regulatory has been described as an important milestone in early childhood development (Shonkoff & Phillips, 2000). This research describes the implementation of an intervention programme in kindergartens that aimed to help young children with highly impulsive behaviour, develop self-regulatory behaviors. The children were identified by the Achenbach Child behaviour check list (1.5-5) and by the kindergarten teachers. This Research was based on mixed methods. The quantitave data reveled a number of children with highly impulsive behaviour and difficulties in self-regulation. The qualitative data gave a deeper interpretation to these children’s behaviour and the difficulties involved. After the implementation of the program the kindergarten teachers reported on an increase in the children’s self–regulatory skills.By understanding and supporting the processes involved in the development of self-regulation skills, it might be possible for significant adults in young children's lives to have a substantial effect in aiding young children, who are highly impulsive. This was the rationale for the present research.

IntroductionPathological gambling and alcoholism are more common. In recent literature many factors may increase the risk for both conditions (social, cognitive, genetic, psychopharmacological).ObjectivesExperts talk about problematic behavior linking gambling and alcoholism and the terms „disordered gambling behavior“ and „disordered alcoholics behavior“ occurrence like common behaviour. Most gamblers drink alcohol during gambling.AimOur paper show that some kind of disordered or dysfunctional behavior among pathological gambling and alcoholism presented common behavior frame for both of them.MethodsWe observed 25 male inpatients/outpatients, range of age between 20 – 50, for six months period of time who were treated in Department of Alcoholism in Special Hospital On Addictions, Belgrade, Serbia.We used the ICD-X diagnostic criteria for pathological gambling and alcohol dependence (excluded other disorder and co morbidity), data collected by medical history of illnes, psychiatry interview and check list for behavior disorder for both conditions.ResultsAll the patients have negative consequences of their pathological gambling and alcoholism like loss the money, loss the job,disfunctonal family and partners relationships, loss of friends, avoid school and other peer activities, improve criminal behavior, sleep disorder, anxiety, depressive mood disorder. Also, occurrences the impulsivity behavior and lack of control as common factor for both behavior.ConclusionAccording the available literature and ICD-X do not meet the diagnostic criteria for common behavior disorder co-occurrence of pathological gambling and alcoholism yet, but determine „event-level“ like co-occurrence of gambling and drinking behavior. Some paper like this shows that exist common behavior linking gambling and alcoholism.

Aims: The aims of this study were: (a) to examine trends in daily emotional symptoms among 11- to 15-year-olds from 1991 to 2014 in Denmark, and (b) to examine trends in social inequality in daily emotional symptoms, that is, whether the differences in prevalence between adolescents with parents of varying occupational social class changed over time. Methods: We combined seven comparable cross-sectional Health Behaviour in School-aged Children surveys ( N=31,169). Daily emotional symptoms were measured by the HBSC Symptom Check List and occupational social class (OSC) by students’ reports about parents’ occupation. We calculated absolute (per cent) differences in emotional symptoms between high and low OSC and relative differences by odds ratio for emotional symptoms by parents’ OSC. Results: Eight per cent reported at least one daily emotional symptoms, with an increasing trend from 1991 to 2014 ( p<0.001). The prevalence in high, middle and low OSC was 6.2%, 7.4% and 10.6% ( p<0.0001). From 1991 to 2014, there was an increase in the prevalence of daily emotional symptoms in high ( p<0.0001) and middle ( p<0.0001) but not low OSC ( p=0.4404). This resulted in a diminishing absolute social inequality in emotional symptoms. The statistical interaction between OSC and survey year was significant ( p=0.0023) and suggests a diminishing relative social inequality in emotional symptoms from 1991 to 2014. Conclusions: There was an increasing prevalence of daily emotional symptoms from 1991 to 2014 and a diminishing social inequality in prevalence of daily emotional symptoms in terms of both absolute and relative social inequality.

Introduction: Homelessness in children is a serious problem in the society. Factors leading tohomelessness in Nepalese children are poverty, unemployment, multiple children, exposure toviolence, caste based social discrimination etc. Children living out of their homes have problemsin attachment, temperament, social skills, cognitive ability, and language development. Few nongovernmentalorganizations that have started to look after these children but the mental healthneed is neglected. The study attempted to investigate the emotional and behavioural problems inhomeless children in one of the shelters in Kathmandu.Methods: All the children (n=126) in the SAATHI Organization were included in the study. Theywere administered Child Behaviour Check List 6-18. Children with T-score ≥65 on externalising orinternalising dimension were further evaluated in the Child Guidance Clinic for the final diagnosisbased on DSM IV.Results: The prevalence of emotional and behavioural problem among the participants was 36(28.57%) [15 (26.31%) in boys and 21 (30.43%) in girls] based on CBCL/6-18 years and 29 (23.01%)[12 (21.05%) in boys and 17 (24.63%) in girls] based on final diagnosis. The conduct problems wasthe most common among the male children 5 (8.77%), followed by ODD 3 (5.26%), ADHD 2 (3.5%),Anxiety 2 (3.50%) whereas Anxiety is most common in female children 9 (13.04 %), followed bydepression 5 (7.24%), conduct 3 (4.34%).Conclusions: The rate of emotional and behavioral disorder in homeless children in the study issimilar to the school aged non homeless children in previous studies, which may be because of theprotection provided by the shelters. This study highlighted the need for methodologically betterstudies in the field._______________________________________________________________________________________Keywords: children; emotional and behavioural problems; homelessness; Nepal.

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti persepsi pelajar terhadap tingkah laku agresif yang berlaku di lima buah sekolah di kawasan Bandar Johor Bahru. Secara khusus, kajian ini untuk mengenal pasti persepsi pelajar terhadap faktor yang menyebabkan berlakunya perlakuan agresif pelajar dan jenis tingkah laku agresif yang berlaku di sekolah menengah. Dalam konteks kajian ini, hanya tiga persepsi pelajar sahaja yang dikaji, iaitu dari aspek faktor yang menjurus kepada perlakuan agresif pelajar, jenis tingkah laku yang berlaku di sekolah dan persepsi hipotesis. Seramai 260 orang pelajar yang dikategorikan sebagai agresif dari tingkatan satu, dua dan empat di lima buah sekolah di kawasan bandar Johor Bahru dipilih secara rawak berperingkat dilibatkan dalam kajian ini. Alat kajian ini ialah Instrumen Soal Selidik Senarai Semak Masalah Mooney yang mengandungi 64 item berbentuk skala Likert. Nilai kebolehpercayaan (alpha croanbach) alat kajian adalah 0.81. Secara keseluruhan, tahap persepsi pelajar terhadap perlakuan agresif dan jenis berada pada tahap yang tinggi melebihi min 3.67. Dapatan hipotesis menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan antara faktor suasana sekolah, latar belakang keluarga, sikap pelajar, psikologi dan rakan sebaya dengan jantina. Di samping itu, terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara tingkah laku verbal dan anti sosial dengan pendapatan ibu bapa. Persepsi pelajar terhadap perlakuan agresif di sekolah menengah menunjukkan bahawa pelajar bertindak secara agresif berpunca daripada faktor–faktor berikut, iaitu suasana sekolah (min 4.1), latar belakang keluarga yang kurang memberikan perhatian kepada pelajar (min 3.86), sikap pelajar (min 3.88), psikologi (min 3.65) dan rakan sebaya (min 3.68). Tingkah laku agresif yang kerap dilakukan ialah tingkah laku fizikal (min 3.57), verbal (min 3.53) dan anti sosial (min 3.34). Dapatan kajian ini menunjukkan tahap agresif pelajar di sekolah adalah pada tahap yang tinggi. Cadangan untuk mengatasi masalah antaranya ialah pihak sekolah harus mengenal pasti budaya pelajar agresif dan memperkasakan program pembimbing rakan sebaya agar dapat mengurangkan masalah pelajar agresif. Kata kunci: Faktor suasana sekolah; latar belakang keluarga; sikap pelajar; faktor psikologi; rakan sebaya; agresif The objective of the study is to identify the perception of the students on aggressive attitudes in five secondary schools in Johor Bahru. This study also attempts to identify the factor and types of aggressiveness among secondary school students. This study focused on three important aspects which was causes on students’ aggressiveness, types of aggressive attitudes and hypothesis perception. A total of 260 questionnaires were distributed at random stage to aggressive student from form one, two and four. The instrument used for this research the Mooney Problem Check List. consist of 64 Likert skill items. The reliability value (alpha croanbach) for the instrument was at 0.81. Findings revealed that the level of students aggressiveness and the type of aggressiveness in secondary schools in Johor Bahru were at the high mean score more than 3.67. Researach hypothesis shows that there is no significant difference between school environment factors, family background, students attitudes, psychology, and peers group with gender. There is significant relationship between verbal behaviour and anti–social with family income. Students’ perception between aggressive attitude in secondary school show that environment of the school is dominant (mean 4.1), less attention from family background (mean 3.8), students’ attitude (mean 3.88), psychology (mean 3.65) and their friends (mean 3.68). The most common aggressiveness attitude among student was the physical attitude (mean 3.57), verbal (mean 3.53) and anti social (mean 3.34). Thus this research shows that the aggressive attitude among students was high. The study suggested that the school should identify aggressiveness culture among the students and should implement the peers program reduce the problems.
