To verify the relationships between voice, behavior, and social skills in children and adolescents with and without voice disorders based on their self-reports and their parents/guardians' reports.
The study comprised 575 individuals, with 347 parents/guardians of children and adolescents aged 6-18 years who responded the parent version of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and 228 children and adolescents aged 11-18 years, who responded its report version.
Children and adolescents with vocal problem scored higher on hyperactivity/inattention, emotional symptoms, peer relationship, and conduct problems domains; and in the internalization, externalization, and difficulties scales. Children with vocal problem scored lower on the skills scale in the self-report. Parents/guardians in the group with vocal problem reported peer relationship problems not perceived by their children. Parents/guardians in the group without vocal problem did not perceive the signs of hyperactivity/inattention reported in their children and adolescents' self-reports.
The presence of vocal problems in the pediatric and adolescent population may be a risk factor for mental health due to the higher scores on behavior problems scales, both in their internalization and externalization aspects.
通过儿童和青少年的自我报告以及他们的父母/监护人的报告，验证有和无嗓音障碍的儿童和青少年的嗓音、行为和社交技能之间的关系。
该研究共纳入 575 名儿童和青少年，其中 347 名 6-18 岁儿童和青少年的父母/监护人对家长版长处和困难问卷进行了回答，228 名 11-18 岁的儿童和青少年对其报告版本进行了回答。
有嗓音问题的儿童和青少年在多动/注意力不集中、情绪症状、同伴关系和行为问题等领域以及内化、外化和困难量表上的得分更高；而在自我报告中，有嗓音问题的儿童在技能量表上的得分较低。在有嗓音问题组中，父母/监护人报告了同伴关系问题，但这些问题没有被他们的孩子感知到。在没有嗓音问题组中，父母/监护人没有察觉到他们孩子在自我报告中所报告的多动/注意力不集中的迹象。
儿科和青少年人群中存在嗓音问题可能是心理健康的一个风险因素，因为他们在行为问题量表上的得分较高，无论是内化方面还是外化方面。
