“…As noted above, reliance on parental report without priming parents for which speech features to monitor for may have resulted in cases of mild stuttering being missed. Nonetheless, parental report of stuttering is usually highly accurate (Einarsdottir & Ingham, 2009;Reilly et al, 2009;Yairi & Ambrose, 2005), and the validity of the present study is further supported by the fact that the male:female ratio is consistent with that found in other studies where stuttering has been diagnosed by a clinician (Yairi & Ambrose, 2013).…”

Purpose: Developmental stuttering may be associated with diminished psychological wellbeing which has been documented from late childhood onwards. It is important to establish the point at which behavioural, emotional and social problems emerge in children who stutter. Methods:The study used data from the Millennium Cohort Study, whose initial cohort comprised 18,818 children. Analysis involved data collected when the cohort members were 3, 5 and 11 years old. The association between parent-reported stuttering and performance on the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire was determined in regression analyses which controlled for cohort members' sex, verbal and non-verbal abilities, maternal education, and family economic status. Results:Compared with typically-developing children, those who stuttered had significantly higher Total Difficulties scores at all three ages; in addition, scores on all of the sub-scales for 5-year-olds who stuttered indicated poorer development than their peers, and 11-year-olds who stuttered had poorer development than peers in all areas except prosocial skills. At ages 5 and 11, those who stuttered were more likely than peers to have scores indicating cause for clinical concern in almost all areas. Conclusion:Children who stutter may begin to show impaired behavioural, emotional and social development as early as age 3, and these difficulties are well established in older children who stutter. Parents and practitioners need to be aware of the possibility of these difficulties and intervention needs to be provided in a timely fashion to such difficulties in childhood and to prevent the potential development of serious mental health difficulties later in life.

“…1 Data on the prevalence of stuttering are limited, but one study of 12,000 Australian individuals of all ages found a prevalence of 0.72 %, which is comparable to estimates of the prevalence of blindness or rheumatoid arthritis. [2][3][4] Stuttering frequency and severity are often increased in situations of high stress, when talking on the telephone, or when talking with authority figures like police officers or physicians. 5 Discomfort about speaking can lead to prominent avoidance behaviors, such as opting out of social or workplace obligations.…”

“Not Unless It’s a Life or Death Thing”: A Qualitative Study of the Health Care Experiences of Adults Who Stutter

BACKGROUND:For adults who stutter, communication difficulties can impact many spheres of life. Previous studies have not examined how stuttering might impact patient's experiences with the medical system. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to understand the range and depth of experiences with the medical system among adults who stutter. DESIGN: This was a qualitative study using age-stratified focus groups. PARTICIPANTS: Sixteen adults who stutter were recruited at a national conference about stuttering. APPROACH: We conducted three focus groups. Participants also completed a written questionnaire about sociodemographic characteristics, health status, and the impact of stuttering on their life [using the St. Louis Inventory of Life Perspectives Scale (SL-ILP-S) Total Effect Score]. We analyzed data using an iterative, thematic analysis, with an inductive approach, at a semantic level. KEY RESULTS: Participants were mostly (75 %) male and resided throughout the United States. The mean SL-ILP-S Total Effect Score was 27.3, indicating that stuttering caused minimal concern in participants' lives. Despite this, we identified five themes that characterize ways in which stuttering affects interactions with the medical system. Participants described (1) discomfort speaking with office staff and physicians, which resulted in (2) avoiding health care interactions because of stuttering, and (3) relying on a third party to navigate the medical system. During visits with physicians, participants felt that (4) discussing stuttering with physicians required trust and rapport, and (5) speaking assertively with physicians required selfacceptance of their stuttering. CONCLUSIONS: We identified ways in which stuttering affects medical interactions. These results highlight the need for increased awareness and training for medical staff and physicians when caring for persons who stutter. Future studies among diverse samples of stutterers can determine the effects of stuttering on medical interactions, and inform the development of interventions to provide high quality health care for adults who stutter.

“…A dadogás kialakulása leggyakrabban 5 éves kor körül kezdődik; európai és amerikai statisztikákra alapozva a prevalenciája 1-2%-ra tehető, 3-4-szeres fiútöbbséggel [5]. Két csoportja létezik: a tónusos dadogás, amely során az illető egy-egy szótagot ismétel meg többször, valamint a clonusos dadogás, amikor a gyermek a hang kimondása érdekében tesz görcsös erőfeszítéseket [6].…”

DebrecenBevezetés: A dadogás témakörével összefüggő analitikus és rendszerszemléleti elméleteket számba véve szükségessé vált azok aktualizálása. Célkitűzés: A vizsgálat célja, hogy rámutasson olyan összefüggésekre, amelyek a frusztrált megkapaszkodás ösztönéből eredeztethetők, ám jelenünkre új kontextusba helyezhetők. Módszer: 48 dadogó személynél két kérdőívet alkalmaztunk. A Rosenberg-féle Önértékelési Skála a gyermekek magukról alkotott képét, a Gyermek Multidimenzionális Szorongás Skála szorongásuk mértékét mutatja meg. Az első kitöltés során magukra vonatkoztatva, a második során egy hétköznapi, ép beszédű emberre gondolva kellett kitölteniük azokat. Eredmé-nyek: Beigazolódott az a hipotézis, amely szignifikáns szerepet tulajdonít a dadogók önértékelésében a beszédzava-ruknak. Eszerint szorongásuk szignifikáns fokát teszi ki a deficitjük. Nem várt eredmény, hogy a lányok a fiúkhoz közel hasonló szorongásszintet tulajdonítanak az ép beszédű embereknek, valamint a másokra vonatkoztatott önér-tékelésszintben sincs szignifikáns különbség közöttük. Következtetések: Az evolúciós pszichológia tézise szerint a nők mint családösszetartók számára fontosabb a beszéd adekvát használata. Mindez eredményezheti, hogy a dadogásra kardinális mértékű hátráltató tényezőként tekintenek. Orv. Hetil., 2016, 157(21), 825-829. Kulcsszavak: dadogás, gyermekkor, önértékelés, szorongásAnalyzing stutter originated from the frustrated clinging instinct and its relation to anxiety and selfesteem Introduction: The analytic and family therapeutic theories connected to the topic of stutter have to be actualized. Aim: The aim of this work was to point out connections which originate from the instinct of frustrated clinging, however, these can be interpretated in new ways these days. Method: Two questionnaires in 48 subjects suffering from stutter were used; Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale measured the children's self representation, while the Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children measured the degree of their anxiety. At first the subjects had to anwser the questions as themselves, for the second time they had to anwser as an ordinary person without a speech disorder. Results: The hypothesis of the authors was verified: stutterers attributed a significant role to the speech disorder of the subjects in connection with their self-esteem. According to this a significant amount of their anxiety is based on their deficit. An unexpected result was that girls and boys estimated ordinary people's level of anxiety similarly. There was no significant difference between boys and girls regarding the level of other's self-esteem. Conclusions: Based on the thesis of evolutionary psychology, the adequate use of speech is more important to women who have a connecting role in the family. This results that they see stutter as a major problem.
