Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: The relationship between mental health and contextual factors has been increasingly investigated in the scientific literature to identify elements that may configure themselves as protective. The present study aimed to identify what resources (activities, family outings, toys, material elements, and learning) were offered in the daily lives of children with mental disorders, and from this, verify whether the offer of such resources in the family was associated with areas of greatest damage relative to mental health problems. Methods: Thirty-three caregivers of/people responsible for children between 6 and 12 years of age with most frequent diagnoses in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder seen at a general hospital participated. We used the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ – parents version) and Family Environment Resources Inventory (RAF). Results: From a descriptive and correlational analysis, it was revealed that the more the mental health problems were present in children, the lower the family resources offer. Conclusions: The environmental resources offer proved to be protective for child development. Such findings are relevant to aid in outlining strategies for promoting mental health among children.

家庭环境资源与儿童心理健康问题的关系

摘要目的:科学文献越来越多地研究心理健康与环境因素之间的关系，以确定可能将自己配置为保护因素的因素。本研究旨在确定在精神障碍儿童的日常生活中提供了哪些资源(活动、家庭郊游、玩具、物质元素和学习)，并由此验证家庭中提供的这些资源是否与精神健康问题损害最大的领域有关。方法:对33名6 - 12岁儿童的护理人员/负责人员进行研究，这些儿童在综合医院最常被诊断为注意缺陷多动障碍和自闭症谱系障碍。我们使用了优势与困难问卷(SDQ -家长版)和家庭环境资源量表(RAF)。结果:通过描述性和相关性分析，发现儿童心理健康问题越多，家庭资源提供越低。结论:环境资源对儿童发育具有保护作用。这些发现有助于制定促进儿童心理健康的战略。
