Qualidade De Vida E Autopercepção De Saúde De Crianças Com Mau Desempenho Escolar

Abstract

Objective: To examine the association between quality of life and health self-perception of children with poor school performance, considering sociodemographic factors.Methods: An analytical, observational, cross-sectional study was conducted with 99 children aged 7 to 12 years receiving specialized educational assistance. Parents and legal guardians answered questions concerning the sociodemographic profile. For an assessment of the quality of life and proposed domains (autonomy, functioning, leisure, and family), the children completed the Autoquestionnarie Qualité de Vie Enfant Imagé (AUQEI) and answered a question concerning their self-perceived health. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, considering a 5% significance level.Results: Among the evaluated children, 69 (69.7%) male participants with mean age of 8.7±1.5, 27% self-assessed their health status as poor/very poor, and 36.4% of the children reported having impaired quality of life. As for the domains assessed by AUQEI, there was statistical significance in the associations between family with age, autonomy with economic classification, and leisure and functioning with self-perceived health. Conclusions: The quality of life of children with academic underachievement is associated with their health self-perception and sociodemographic characteristics.

Among major environmental factors associated with children's HRQOL is the family socioeconomic status, 40 notably parents' educational level that showed significant association with several life domains and further explained the variance in parent-assessed HRQOL. 41 Another modern determinant of child's health is the screen time and usage of smart devices, which is unanimously evidenced to disturb behavior and induce negative effect on children's physical and mental health as well as on their psychomotor development.…”
