Objective: Language impairment is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by reduced vocabulary, limited sentence structure and speech impairment. Emotion regulation refers to the cognitive and behavioral processes an individual uses to change the strength and timing of the expression of emotions. Healthy communication is closely related to the capacity to regulate emotions. In this study, it is aimed to investigate emotion regulation, problematic behaviors and their relationship with each other in preschool children diagnosed with language impairment.
Method: A patient group was formed with 46 participants aged 2-6 years with a diagnosis of language disorder according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 and a control group was formed with 40 healthy participants aged 2-6 years without any psychiatric diagnosis. A sociodemographic data form was completed by the clinician, and the emotion regulation scale and preschool behavior scale were completed by the parents of the participants.
Results: No significant difference was found between the groups in terms of gender and age distribution. Emotion regulation scale total score (p=0.002) and resilience/negativity subscale (p=0.021) were significantly lower in the language disorder group compared to the control group. Preschool behavior scale total score was significantly higher in the language impairment group compared to the control group (p=0.01). No correlation was found between the total and subscale scores.
Conclusion: The results of our study show that children diagnosed with language impairment have weaker emotion regulation skills and more behavioral problems compared to their peers. We think that early emotional and behavioral follow-up of children with language disorder, improvement of emotion regulation skills and prevention of behavioral problems may be important for the mental health of these children.
