Abstract

This study examined caregiver perceptions of mental health problems and counseling needs in low-income children with special health care needs (CSHCN). Interviewers collected data from 257 caregivers of CSHCN (61% males; 60% African American; Mean age = 8.4 years) attending six Midwestern inner-city health clinics. Measures included the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and an investigator-designed questionnaire. CBCL T-scores indicated that 38% of CSHCN had a behavioral or mental health problem, but only 26% of caregivers perceived the need for treatment or counseling. CSHCN should be assessed and referred appropriately for behavioral and mental health problems during routine health care visits.

摘要

本研究调查了低收入特殊医疗需求儿童（CSHCN）的照料者对心理健康问题及咨询需求的看法。访谈者从六家中西部市中心健康诊所的257名CSHCN照料者（61%为男性；60%为非裔美国人；平均年龄 = 8.4岁）处收集了数据。测量工具包括儿童行为量表（CBCL）和一份由研究者设计的问卷。CBCL T分数表明，38%的CSHCN存在行为或心理健康问题，但只有26%的照料者认为有治疗或咨询的必要。在常规医疗就诊期间，应对CSHCN的行为和心理健康问题进行适当评估并转诊。
