The Faculty of Nursing at the University of Baghdad discussed a master’s thesis entitled “The Relationship Between Anxiety and Disruptive Behavior Disorders in Primary School Children” by researcher Noor Tariq Hamadi, supervised by Assistant Professor Dr. Haider Mohammed Majid in the Faculty’s Skills Hall.
The study aimed to discover the relationship between anxiety levels and disruptive behavior disorders in primary school students.
The results of the study showed that children suffer from a mild level of anxiety and a moderate level of disruptive behavior disorders. The study also revealed a statistically significant relationship between gender and anxiety levels and disruptive behavior disorders. In addition, a highly statistically significant relationship was found between age and disruptive behavior disorders. The researcher received an excellent grade for her thesis.
The study recommended that the state pay more attention to disruptive behavior disorders among children and use the media as a means of combating this problem. This attention is necessary to achieve sustainable development, as reflected in Goal 4, Quality Education, since addressing these disorders at an early age contributes to building a generation that is more psychologically and socially healthy, which has a positive impact on the long-term progress and well-being of society.
