23名7至12岁的儿童诊断为婴儿高钙血症的样本进行了评估,在电池的心理测试和评定量表,试图描述这种疾病的心理特征。所有儿童都被发现有轻度或中度的智力障碍。作为一个群体,他们的语言表达能力要比他们的语言理解能力强上级。他们表现出严重的行为和情绪紊乱,最明显的是活动频繁。据报道,大多数儿童对噪音高度敏感。本研究阐明了婴儿高钙血症的一些心理相关性,并提出了一些管理建议。
A sample of 23 children aged seven to 12 years with diagnoses of infantile hypercalcaemia was assessed on a battery of psychological tests and rating scales in an attempt to describe the psychological characteristics of this disorder. All children were found to have a mild or moderate degree of mental handicap. As a group, their expressive language skills were superior to their verbal comprehension. They displayed a high degree of behaviour and emotional disorders, most notably in terms of high levels of activity. Most children were reported as being highly sensitive to noise. This study clarifies some of the psychological correlates of infantile hypercalcaemia and some implications for management are suggested.
