    Behavioral problems in children with severe mental handicap are linked to incontinence and poor self-help skills. Maternal stress and single-parent families also showed associations with these behavioral issues.

    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Psychology
    • Child Psychiatry
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Severe mental handicap in children presents unique challenges.
    • Behavioral problems are common in this population, impacting daily life.
    • Understanding the correlates of these problems is crucial for intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the prevalence of behavior problems in children with severe mental handicap.
    • To identify factors associated with behavior problems in this group.
    • To explore environmental and familial correlates of behavioral disorders.

    Main Methods:

    • Population study in two health districts.
    • Stratified random sampling of 200 families.
    • Structured interviews with parents of children with and without behavior problems.

    Main Results:

    • Significant associations found between behavior disorder and incontinence, poor self-help skills, academic skills (reading, writing, counting), and communication.
    • Behavior problems were more prevalent in one-parent families.
    • Maternal stress was associated with problem behavior.

    Conclusions:

    • Behavioral problems in children with severe mental handicap are associated with specific skill deficits and family structures.
    • Maternal stress is a significant correlate.
    • Further research into underlying mechanisms is warranted.
