The probable Prevalance and Sociodemographic Characteristics of Specific Learning Disorder in Primary School Children in Edirne

Background: Specific learning disorders (SLD) comprise varied conditions with ongoing problems in one of the three areas of educational skills–reading, writing, and arithmetic–which are essential for the learning process. There is a dearth of systematic reviews focused exclusively on the prevalence of SLD in India. Hence, this study was done to estimate the prevalence of SLD in Indian children. Methods: A systematic search of electronic databases of MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, and CINAHL was conducted. Two authors independently assessed the eligibility of the full-text articles. The third author reassessed all selected studies. A standardized data extraction form was developed and piloted. The pooled prevalence of SLDs was estimated from the reported prevalence of eligible studies, using the random-effects model. Results: Six studies of the systematic review included the diagnostic screening of 8133 children. The random-effects meta-analysis showed that the overall pooled prevalence of SLD in India was 8% (95% CI = 4–11). The tools used to diagnose SLD in the studies were the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS)-SLD index and the Grade Level Assessment Device (GLAD). Conclusions: Nearly 8% of children up to 19 years have SLD. There are only a few high-quality, methodologically sound, population-based epidemiological studies on this topic. There is a pressing need to have large population-based surveys in India, using appropriate screening and diagnostic tools. Constructing standardized assessment tools, keeping in view the diversity of Indian culture, is also necessary.

“…39 Also, an epidemiological study from Turkey found the prevalence rate to be 13.6%. 40 A recent estimate from Pakistan showed a similar prevalence of 7.7% among primary school children. 41 SLDs are challenging to diagnose and are often not well understood as a group of disorders.…”

The aim of this study is to examine the mediating role of expressing feelings on the relationship between dissociative findings and rumination levels of individuals in the late adolescence period. The study included 502 people between the age of 18-24. The data were collected through the Sociodemographic Information Form, Dissociation Questionnaire (DIS-Q), Ruminative Thought Style Questionnaire and Emotional Expression Questionnaire. According to the findings obtained from the study, as the rumination levels of the individuals in the late adolescent period increased, the level of expressing their feelings decreased and the dissociation levels increased; it was observed that as the expression levels of emotions decreased, the dissociation levels increased. It was found that expressing feelings had a partial mediator effect on the relationship between dissociative findings and rumination levels of individuals in the late adolescent period. It is thought that our study contributed to the literature in terms of examining these variables in a limited number of previous studies.
