OBJECTIVES
To investigate the prevalence of childhood anxiety disorders in Saudi Arabia.
METHODS
We conducted a cross-sectional study, between September and November 2019, in Saudi Arabia. The study group included the parents of 468 primary school children, aged 6-12 years. Parents completed the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Disorders (SCARED) screening instrument, translated to Arabic. The measured outcome was the prevalence of childhood anxiety disorders, determined from the scores on the SCARED instrument. Results: Childhood anxiety disorders prevalence were as follows: 32.7% had one anxiety, 18.4% had 2, 10.9% had 3, 8.1% had 4, and 7.7% had 5. Of note, 22.2% of children did not have an anxiety disorder. Conclusion: Our results reveal a high prevalence of childhood anxiety disorders among primary school age children in Saudi Arabia. Based on these findings, conducting awareness campaigns and providing educational programs on childhood anxiety disorders might be important to improve the health outcomes of children.
目的
调查沙特阿拉伯儿童焦虑障碍的患病率。
方法
我们于 2019 年 9 月至 11 月在沙特阿拉伯进行了一项横断面研究。研究组包括 468 名 6-12 岁的小学生的家长。家长们完成了翻译成阿拉伯语的儿童焦虑相关障碍筛查量表（SCARED）。测量结果是根据 SCARED 量表的分数确定的儿童焦虑障碍的患病率。
结果
儿童焦虑障碍的患病率如下：32.7%有 1 种焦虑，18.4%有 2 种，10.9%有 3 种，8.1%有 4 种，7.7%有 5 种。值得注意的是，22.2%的儿童没有焦虑障碍。
结论
我们的结果显示，沙特阿拉伯的小学生中儿童焦虑障碍的患病率很高。基于这些发现，开展儿童焦虑障碍的宣传活动和提供教育计划可能对改善儿童的健康结果很重要。
