摘要： 目的 研究选择性缄默症儿童的行为表现,为患儿的治疗方法选择提供依据。方法 2015年1月—2016年12月对39例选择性缄默症儿童的家长进行量表调查,采用CBCL行为量表评估儿童的行为问题。结果 选择性缄默症儿童大部分在学龄期出现症状,过半数儿童与家人言语沟通无异常。在社会能力中,选择性缄默症儿童主要是在学校情况表现较正常儿童低,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);男女童在分裂强迫、抑郁,社会退缩等这几方面的问题明显高于正常儿童,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。选择性缄默症男童、女童在活动能力、社交能力、学校情况方面差异均无统计学意义(P均>0.05)。在行为问题各因子上,男女童在抑郁、体诉、社会退缩、违纪、多动、攻击性等方面,差异均有统计学意义(P均<0.05)。结论 针对选择性缄默症儿童的行为特点,对患儿的治疗要早期干预,男童、女童针对性不同,家庭学校相结合,并有相对应的抗焦虑治疗。
