Studies on stress of peer relations and school maladjustments in children

背景：我们之前对学龄儿童疲劳的研究表明，同伴关系造成的压力与严重的教育问题密切相关，如拒绝上学和整天呆在学校的保健室。本研究旨在探讨儿童同伴关系应激的发展特点及其与学校适应的关系。方法：对宫城女子S学院附属幼儿园近20年来的儿童S成绩进行调查，并对小学教师和学校护士进行学校行为调查。结果：1)近年来学龄前儿童表现出的行为不成熟与低年级儿童严重的学校适应不良相重叠；2)在学校制造麻烦的儿童数量有所增加，应从抑郁障碍和与老师的关系等方面考虑学龄儿童的人际关系问题；3)家庭教育的缺乏和家庭教育的不良可能导致儿童身体障碍或生活习惯紊乱。结论：这些结果表明，制定有效的支持家庭教育的方案是未来的一个问题。

Background : Our previous studies on the fatigue in children of school age suggest that the stress caused by peer relations is closely related to serious problems in education such as school refusal and staying all day at a healthcare room of school. The objective of this study was to explore the developmental aspects of the peer related stress in children and the relationship between the stress and their school adjustment.METHODS : Children' s records of the kindergarten attached to Miyagi Women' s College in the past two decades were examined ; teachers and school nurses in elementary schools were surveyed about the children's behaviors in their schools using a questionnaire developed by the team.RESULTS : 1) Behavioral immaturity being marked in the recent preschoolers overlaps with the serious school maladjustment of children in the lower grades ; 2) there has been an increase in the number of children who cause trouble at school, and the problems of human relations in school children should be considered from the aspects like depressive disorders and relationship with their teachers ; and 3) lack of family education and ill-training at home can lead to physical disorders or disorderly living habit in children.CONCLUSIONS : These results suggest that the development of effective programs for supporting family education is an issue in the future.
