Test for Identification of Signs of Dyslexia: effects of developmental variables

“…Regarding the type of school, the results indicated a better performance of private schools compared to public. The main variable to be highlighted when there is this kind of research is socioeconomic, since access to the private school is strongly associated with higher household incomes (Nunes & Perosa, 2017). According to literature review conducted by Hackman and Farah (2009), it was found that this variable has a significant impact on the linguistic performance, and found that the higher the social status, developments are best observed.…”

Influence of the quality of life and locus of control of mothers of disabled children on the oral health of their children

“…The group of children whose mothers reported worse social conditions demonstrated 11.28 times more chances to present caries index higher than zero. In this sense, the fact that mothers do not perceive themselves as the main determinant of the health/disease process of their children may be a risk factor for caries in deciduous teeth, possibly because mothers expect action from others, delaying care that can protect them from diseases or mitigate their gravity . Moreover, mothers who have greater sense of control over health of their children search for preventive services more often, with a positive effect on the health general state of children …”

Contextual and individual determinants of oral health-related quality of life among five-year-old children: a multilevel analysis

“…Mothers with a low SOC (little capacity to adapt to stressful situations) tend to have children with more caries (Bonanato et al, 2009a) and take their children to the dentist less often (Perazzo et al, 2017a). LOC is the perception one has regarding who or what controls events in life (the individual himself/herself or others) (Nunes & Perosa, 2017). Individuals who believe that they have a greater influence over their own lives (internal locus) tend to have more positive attitudes regarding health.…”

“…The LOC of the parents/caregivers was evaluated using the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (version validated in Brazil) (Nunes & Perosa, 2017), which has 18 items distributed among three subdivisions (internal/external/chance) for the evaluation of the respondent’s perception of who or what determines health/illness events: the individual himself/herself (internal) or other forces (external/chance). Each item has five response options (1 = fully agree; 2 = agree in part; 3 = neither agree nor disagree; 4 = disagree in part; 5 = fully disagree).…”

“…Moreover, these conditions can cause impacts on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among children and their families (Kramer et al, 2013; Gomes et al, 2014; Abanto et al, 2014). Psychological aspects of parents/caregivers, such as sense of coherence (SOC) and locus of control (LOC), may also be related to oral health problems and OHRQoL (Bonanato et al, 2009a; Khatri, Acharya & Srinivasan, 2014; Gururatana, Baker & Robinson, 2014; Fernandes et al, 2017; Nunes & Perosa, 2017). …”
