Cairo University
Brief Summary

The aim of the present study is to determine the effect of psychological resilience on practicing oral habits among a group of 5- to 7-year-old children.

Detailed Description

Psychological pressure has been thought to be a predisposing factor that might result in deleterious oral habits practicing. Shahraki et al. stated that increased stress levels are associated with oral habits as thumb sucking and nail biting. Leme et al. concluded that children and adolescents with DOH presented more symptoms of depression than their counterparts. Moreover, they were more likely to report symptoms of anxiety.

Ability to cope (or resilience) includes a person's sense of agency and their ability to think and behave, to make positive decisions, and to apply skills and knowledge to life challenges. The term resilience has come to mean an individual's ability to overcome adversity and continue his or her normal development.

The association between psychological resilience and practicing oral habits in children remains unclear, this study aims to reveal that association, if present.
