Compliance process and disease symptoms of children and adolescent with chronic medical disease in the pandemi days
Abstract
Aim: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the changes in psychiatric follow-up process and psychiatric symptoms of children and adolescents with chronic medical diseases by telemedicine.
Materials and Methods: In this study, the cases between 0-18 years old who were followed up at the Consultation liaison outpatient clinic were included. The patients were contacted via Telemedicine on the days and hours of their appointments and their psychiatric interviews were made with their parents and they were evaluated. Questionnaire prepared by the researchers were asked to the patients and their families to investigate the compliance process related to the pandemic and their answers were recorded in the case data form. According to the information in the Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale scores of the cases before the pandemic, the CGI scores in the pandemic period were also recorded according to the results of the telephone interview.
Results: In our study, 49% (n = 25) of the cases were girls and 51% (n = 26) were boys. The most common chronic medical diseases were identified as neurological (21,6%, n = 11) and metabolic-genetic (21,6%, n = 11) diseases. In the psychiatric diagnoses found in our cases, Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (35,3%) was in the first, Depression Disorders (17,6%) and Mild Intellectual Disability (17,6%) were in the second place. The CGI score of the cases before the pandemic was 2,62 ± 0,59, and the CGI score in the pandemic process was evaluated as 2,90 ± 0,80. The difference is statistically significant (p = 0,003). There was no significant difference between the presence of a health worker at home and the presence of a person affected by the disease and the CGI score (p> 0,05).
Conclusion: Our study is important in terms of showing that mental health is negatively affected during the pandemic process, in patients with chronic medical diseases and psychiatric follow-up, there is an increase in symptoms such as nervousness and anxiety, and new mental symptoms such as immature behaviors and changes in sleep patterns are added.
This study was presented as an oral presentation at the 56th National Psychiatry Online Congress organized on 18-20 December 2020.

Pandemi günlerinde kronik tıbbi hastalığı olan psikiyatrik takipteki çocuk ve gençlerin uyum süreci ve hastalık belirtileri
Abstract
Amaç: Bu çalışmada kronik tıbbi hastalığı olan psikiyatrik takipteki çocuk ve gençlerin pandemi ile ilgili uyum süreci ve psikiyatrik belirtilerindeki değişikliklerin Teletıp uygulaması ile değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya, Konsültasyon Liyezon Polikliniği’nde takipli, 0-18 yaş arasındaki olgular dahil edilmiştir. Olgular randevularının oldukları gün ve saatlerde, Teletıp yolu ile aranarak ebeveyn ve kendileri ile psikiyatrik görüşme yapılıp son durumları değerlendirilmiştir. Pandemi ile ilgili uyum sürecini araştırmak amacıyla araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan anket soruları olgu ve ailelerine sorulmuş, cevapları olgu veri formuna kaydedilmiştir. Olguların pandemi öncesi Klinik Global İzlenim (KGİ) ölçeği puanları dosyalarındaki bilgilere göre, pandemi dönemindeki KGİ puanları da telefonla yapılan görüşme sonucuna göre kaydedilmiştir.
Bulgular: Çalışmamıza katılan olguların %49’u (n=25) kız, %51’i (n=26) ise erkektir. En sık görülen kronik tıbbi hastalıklar nörolojik (%21,6, n=11) ve metabolik-genetik (%21,6, n=11) hastalıklar olarak tespit edilmiştir. Olgularımızda pandemi öncesi tespit edilen psikiyatrik tanılarda birinci sırada Dikkat Eksikliği/ Aşırı Hareketlilik Bozukluğu (%35,3), ikinci sırada Depresyon Bozuklukları (%17,6) ve Anlıksal Gelişimsel Bozukluk (Ağır Olmayan) (%17,6) gelmektedir. Olguların pandemi öncesi KGİ puanı 2,62±0,59, pandemi sürecindeki KGİ puanı 2,90±0,80 olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Aradaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır (p=0,003). Evde sağlık çalışanı olup olmaması ve yakınlarında hastalıktan etkilenen birey olup olmaması ile KGİ puanı arasında anlamlı bir fark saptanmamıştır (p>0,05).
Sonuç: Çalışmamız kronik tıbbi hastalığı olan ve psikiyatrik takipteki olgularda, pandemi sürecinde ruh sağlığının olumsuz etkilendiğini, sinirlilik ve kaygı gibi belirtilerde artma olduğunu ve immatür davranışlar, uyku düzeninde değişiklik gibi yeni ruhsal belirtilerin eklendiğini göstermesi bakımından önemlidir.
