Behavioral Adaptation to Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Seropositive Status in Children and Adolescents With Hemophilia

Stressful Life Events and Their Relationship to Psychological and Medical Functioning in Children and Adolescents With HIV Infection

“…Less than 5% of children and caregivers indicated levels of depression or anxiety in the clinical range. These results are in keeping with one earlier study of HIV-positive children6 but are different from other studies discussed previously that reported higher estimates of dysfunction7–10. One possible reason for the discrepant findings is that the children in several of the contradictory studies had hemophilia in addition to HIV disease.…”

“…Recent estimates of caregiver and child self-reports of internalizing disorders have ranged from 13 to 17%7, 8, and anxiety and depression are among the most common diagnoses and/or symptoms reported7–10.…”

“…In addition to effects on neurological development, other studies have indicated an increased incidence of behavioural difficulties (Wolters et al, 1994) and attention problems (Mintz, 1996). There is also some evidence of other factors that may contribute to such behaviour profiles (Bachanas, Kullgren, Morris, & Jones, 1998 ;Hooper et al, 1993) and also discrepancies between parental and child self-reports. For example, in the study of Bose, Moss, Brouwers, Pizzo, and Lorion (1994) parents of 33 HIV-positive children reported high levels of anxiety and behaviour problems in their children, although the children rated themselves within normal limits.…”
