| Abstract: | Background: Borderline intellectual functioning (BIF) involves cognitive and adaptive limitations affecting behaviour and quality of life (QoL). This study compared self- and parent-reported behavioural difficulties and QoL in Thai children with BIF and identified associated factors. Method: Fifty children aged 8–15 years with BIF and their parents completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. Differences between child and parent reports were analysed using paired t-tests. Predictors of QoL were analysed using hierarchical multiple regression. Results: Parents reported fewer conduct problems, peer problems, and total difficulties than children, while rating prosocial behaviours higher. Self-reported QoL scores were higher, especially in social and school domains. Lower self-reported difficulties and lower paternal education predicted higher self-reported QoL, while higher maternal education and IQ predicted better parent-reported QoL. Conclusion: Discrepancies between self- and parent-reported outcomes highlighted the importance of integrating both perspectives in care planning for children with BIF. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
