RIOS-FLOREZ, Jorge Alexander; ALVAREZ-LONDONO, Luisa María; DAVID-SIERRA, Diana Estefanía e ZULETA-MUNOZ, Adriana Cecilia. Influence of preterm births on behavioral and emotional processes of primary school age children. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.1, pp.177-197. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.16110.
This research aimed to establish the main behavioral characteristics that can be presented by children aged between 6-10 years old who were born prematurely. For this purpose, the study used the BASC (Behavior Assessment System for Children) set of tests, the DSM V hyperactivity checklist of and the Caras-R test. These tests were applied to a sample of 80 children who had a preterm birth (clinical sample), and 80 children were born at full term (control sample). The information collected was analyzed using the SPSSTM software Version 22 and additional supporting software for the neuropsychological assessment of human behavior. The results showed that there were more cases of inattention or impulsivity in those born prematurely. This is manifested in their homes through atypical behavior, hyperactivity symptoms, episodes of isolation and the typical symptomatology of depression and somatization.
