AI Article Synopsis
- Parents of 42 children with Down syndrome reported on their child's quality of life across physical, emotional, and social domains using the KINDL-R measurement.
- There was a negative correlation between quality of life and behavioral symptoms, as measured by the SDQ, but education settings (mainstreamed vs. special schools) did not show significant differences in quality of life.
- Regression analysis found that behavioral symptoms and parental stress at age five were strong predictors of the child's quality of life four years later.
Article Abstract
Parents of 42 children with Down syndrome (mean age 9 years) report on their child's quality of life (physical, emotional and social domain). The KINDL-R was used as a proxy-report measure. Quality of life correlated negatively with behavioral symptoms (SDQ), but did not vary between children in mainstreamed or special schools. Regression analysis identified the child's behavioral symptoms and parental stress - assessed when the children had reached the age of five - as significant predictors of quality of life assessed four years later.
