Abstract

Anxiety disorders in the preschool-age population can cause behavioral, social and community concerns. Identifying factors related to flourishing may limit long-term consequences related to the experience of anxiety. The first goal of this study was to examine a national data-set from the 2011/2012 National Survey of Children's Health to determine the frequency of caregivers reporting that their preschool-aged child (between 2 and 5 years) experienced anxiety. The second aim was to detect predictors related to caregiver perceptions of flourishing in children who were described as anxious. Flourishing was a composite measure that included curiosity about learning, resilience, attachment with a caregiver, experiencing contentment and overall positive health status. Findings indicated that 262 children were experiencing moderate to severe anxiety. A regression analyses was used to examine factors that could be related to well-being in children who were anxious. Results indicated that positive behavior and peer relationships were significant predictors of flourishing.

学龄前焦虑儿童的发育指标

学龄前人群的焦虑症会引起行为、社会和社区方面的关注。确定与繁荣相关的因素可能会限制与焦虑经历相关的长期后果。本研究的第一个目标是检查2011/2012年全国儿童健康调查的全国数据集，以确定看护人报告其学龄前儿童(2至5岁)经历焦虑的频率。第二个目的是检测与被描述为焦虑的儿童的照顾者对繁荣的看法相关的预测因素。繁荣是一项综合测量，包括对学习的好奇心、适应力、对照顾者的依恋、体验满足感和整体积极的健康状况。研究结果表明，262名儿童患有中度至重度焦虑。使用回归分析来检查可能与焦虑儿童的健康有关的因素。结果表明，积极行为和同伴关系是茁壮成长的显著预测因子。
