Resumen

Este estudio examinó a 633 niños en Nepal para detectar trastornos de tics, encontrando una prevalencia del 5,1%. Los tics fueron ligeramente más comunes en los niños y los antecedentes familiares se correlacionaron con una mayor gravedad de los tics.

Área de la Ciencia:

Trastornos del Neurodesarrollo
Neurología Pediátrica
Epidemiología

Sus antecedentes:

Los trastornos de tics son afecciones comunes del neurodesarrollo a nivel mundial.
Existen datos epidemiológicos limitados sobre los trastornos de tics en Nepal.
Este estudio aborda la brecha de datos sobre los tics infantiles en Nepal.

Objetivo del estudio:

Detectar tics en niños en edad escolar en Nepal.
Estimar la prevalencia de trastornos de tics en esta población.
Explorar las características sociodemográficas de los niños diagnosticados con tics.

Principales métodos:

Se empleó un diseño de estudio descriptivo transversal.
Se seleccionaron cinco escuelas mediante muestreo aleatorio simple.
La recopilación de datos incluyó formularios semestructurados y la herramienta de detección Motor or Vocal Inventory of Tics (MOVeIT-14).

Principales resultados:

De 633 participantes, 32 niños resultaron positivos para tics, lo que indica una prevalencia del 5,1%.
La proporción de hombres y mujeres entre los niños afectados fue de 1,2:1.
Se reportaron antecedentes familiares positivos de tics en el 28,1% de los casos y se asociaron con puntuaciones de detección más altas.

Conclusiones:

Los trastornos de tics afectan a una proporción significativa de niños en edad escolar en Nepal.
Se observó una ligera predominancia masculina en los niños con tics.

Case Studies

Case Studies

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.

Longitudinal Research

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Cross-Sectional Research

Cross-Sectional Research

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Longitudinal Studies

Longitudinal Studies

Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

Community Based Intervention

Community Based Intervention

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

Relationship with Other Adult Family Members and Siblings

Relationship with Other Adult Family Members and Siblings

Other adult family members and siblings play a crucial role in shaping children’s social and emotional development. While parents or primary caregivers are often the central figures in early attachment and socialization, other adults in a child’s life, such as grandparents, aunts, and uncles, can significantly influence developmental outcomes. These influences depend on each adult’s personality and may help compensate when a primary caregiver is emotionally distant or inconsistent. For...
