Abstract

Objective. Self-concept, self-efficacy and quality of life are variables that can be affected in children by the presence of a sensory processing deficit (DPS). This deficit is characterized by failures in the processing of sensations that can cause difficulties in daily performance. The objective of this study is to determine whether or not there is a significant difference in the self-concept, self-efficacy and quality of life of Venezuelan children between 7 and 13 years old with and without Sensory Processing Difficulties (SPD). Methodology. This is a cross-sectional study, with a non-experimental statistical design of comparison of means using the student’s t-statistic. The sample consisted of 98 children from 7 to 13 years old, of whom 38 (38.8%) were diagnosed with sensory integration deficit and 60 (61.2%) without deficit. Results. There was evidence of significant differences in academic self-efficacy, where children with SPD showed lower mean scores; as well as in physical self-concept, where children without SPD attained lower scores. No significant differences were found in the quality of life of the samples. This study contributes to a line research in psychological variables that have been little studied in children with sensorial integration deficit, demonstrating that this condition mainly impacts their perception of self-efficacy.
