Abstract

Background: Participation in everyday activities is beneficial for mental health. However, little is known about the extent to which changes in children's participation are associated with later mental health.

Objectives: To investigate the association between changes in the frequency and involvement in home, school, and community activities and subsequent mental health problems in children. Methodology: We recruited 242 school-aged children. Their parents completed the Participation and Environment Measure for Children and Youth twice, and after 2 years, they completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire.

Results: After controlling for demographic factors, hierarchical regression analysis revealed that reductions in children's involvement in home and community activities were significantly associated with elevated levels of externalizing and internalizing problems. Furthermore, an increase in children's involvement in school activities showed significant relationships with better mental health outcomes.

Conclusion: These findings inform participation-based interventions for occupational therapists aimed at mitigating children's future mental health problems.

儿童参与程度的变化与日后心理健康问题之间的关系。

背景介绍参与日常活动有益于心理健康。然而，人们对儿童参与活动的变化与日后心理健康的关系知之甚少：调查儿童参加家庭、学校和社区活动的频率和参与度的变化与日后心理健康问题之间的关系。方法：我们招募了 242 名在校学生：我们招募了 242 名学龄儿童。他们的父母完成了两次儿童和青少年参与和环境测量，两年后，他们完成了优势和困难问卷：结果：在控制了人口统计学因素后，分层回归分析表明，儿童参与家庭和社区活动的减少与外化和内化问题水平的升高有显著关联。此外，儿童更多地参与学校活动与更好的心理健康结果有显著关系：这些发现为职业治疗师提供了以参与为基础的干预措施，旨在减轻儿童未来的心理健康问题。
