Abstract
Background: Children conceived naturally, without assisted reproductive technologies, are considered normal. Psychosocial strength in children includes emotional resilience, coping skills, interpersonal abilities, and overall mental health. Difficulties refer to challenges and obstacles that may impact psychosocial development in individuals. This study aimed to assess the psychosocial strength and difficulties among normally conceived children. Material & Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted in the Combined Military Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from September 2017 to September 2022. In this study, 50 parents and their naturally conceived children were enrolled using purposive sampling. MS Office tools were employed for data analysis. Results: In this study, 58% of subjects scored close to the average difficulty level, with a mean of 13.38 �89. Additionally, 12% of subjects showed raised or lowered difficulty scores, 6% exhibited high or low scores, and 24% had very high or low scores. Concerning the emotional problems, conduct problems, hyperactivity, peer problems, and pro-social category, the mean 盨D scores were 2.20 �13, 4.48 �69, 3.76 �95, 2.94 �41 and 5.86 �93 respectively. Conclusions: In Bangladesh, normally conceived children generally demonstrate psychosocial functioning scores close to the average difficulty. Further research is essential to identify factors influencing these challenges and to formulate specific interventions for supporting the psychosocial well-being of these children.
