The aim of this study was to research the probable prevalence of Specific Learning Disorder (SLD) in primary school children in Edirne City and the relationships with their sociodemographic characteristics.
The sample of our study was composed of 2,174 children who were educated in primary schools in second, third, and fourth grades in the academic year 2013-2014 in Edirne City. The teachers and parents of these children were given Specific Learning Difficulties Symptom Scale, Learning Disabilities Symptoms Checklist (teacher and parent forms), and sociodemographic data forms to fill in. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to assess the risk factors for SLD.
Our study revealed that the probable prevalence of SLD was 13.6%; 17% for boys and 10.4% for girls. Reading impairment was 3.6%, writing impairment was 6.9%, and mathematic impairment was 6.5%. We determined that consanguineous marriages, low income, history of neonatal jaundice were found as risks for SLD; born by caesarean, developmental delay of walking, and history of neonatal jaundice were found as risks for mathematic impairment. A history of learning difficulties of parents was a risk factor for forming SLD and subtypes.
Our findings were consistent with other study results about the prevalence of SLD. The relationships between the probable prevalence rates and sociodemographic data were discussed.
本研究旨在调查埃迪尔内市小学儿童特定学习障碍（SLD）的可能患病率及其与社会人口学特征的关系。
我们的研究样本由2013 - 2014学年在埃迪尔内市二、三、四年级小学就读的2174名儿童组成。这些儿童的教师和家长被给予特定学习困难症状量表、学习障碍症状清单（教师和家长表格）以及社会人口学数据表格来填写。采用二元逻辑回归分析来评估SLD的风险因素。
我们的研究表明，SLD的可能患病率为13.6%；男孩为17%，女孩为10.4%。阅读障碍为3.6%，书写障碍为6.9%，数学障碍为6.5%。我们确定近亲结婚、低收入、新生儿黄疸病史是SLD的风险因素；剖腹产出生、行走发育迟缓以及新生儿黄疸病史是数学障碍的风险因素。父母的学习困难史是形成SLD及其亚型的一个风险因素。
我们的研究结果与其他关于SLD患病率研究结果一致。讨论了可能患病率与社会人口学数据之间的关系。
