Öğe Anxiety Level in Pediatrics Residents in COVID-19 Outbreak Days(Galenos Publishing House, 2021) Özyurt, Gonca; Öztürk, Yusuf; Kanik, Ali; Oral, Elif; Aslankaya, Zeynep Dilara; Görmez, Vahdet; İnal, NeslihanObjectives: The aim of this study is to reveal how pediatrics residents’ anxiety levels and their approaches to children have been shaped during unexpected experience of COVID-19 outbreak and to evaluate the effects of working in pandemic clinics on anxiety. Materials and Methods: This study was planned as a cross-sectional study. Pediatrics residents working in Izmir Tepecik Training and Research Hospital Pediatrics Education Clinic were contacted and asked whether they wanted to fill the prepared electronic questionnaire. The information including informed volunteer consent form and questionnaires was sent to the acceptors via e-mail/Whatsapp. The socio-demographic data form and Spielberger State and Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S and STAI-T) were sent to the participants. Results: Sixty four pediatrics residents participated. The average age of the participants in our study was 27.98±2.62 years. Of them, 79.7%(n=51) were female, while 20.3% (n=13) were male. While 7.8% (n=5) had a history of suffering from mental illness before COVID-19, there was no history of mental illness in 92.2% (n=59). 67.2% (n=43) of the pediatrics residents included in the study worked in the pandemic service and outpatient clinics. We found that pediatrics residents included in the study showed clinically significant anxiety symptoms at the rate of 89.1% (n=57) in terms of the Spielberger state anxiety scale and at the rate of 65.6% (n=42) in terms of the Spielberger trait anxiety scale. Considering whether the residents included in the study worked or did not work in the pandemic outpatient clinic/inpatient clinic, no statistically significant difference was found in terms of STAI scores (p>0.05). Conclusion: Our study is the first study to evaluate the anxiety levels associated with the COVID-19 outbreak among pediatrics residents in our country. In our study, both the state anxiety level and the trait anxiety level were found to be higher in pediatrics residents, with a higher level of state anxiety. The results of our study suggest the necessity of interventions for the concerns of all healthcare professionals, especially pediatrics residents. © 2021 Türkiye Çocuk ve Genç Psikiyatrisi Derneği / Çocuk ve Gençlik Ruh Sağlığı Dergisi, Galenos Yayınevi tarafından yayınlanmıştır.Öğe Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Children’s Eating Patterns and Parents’ Anxiety Levels: A Multi-Center Study(Galenos Publishing House, 2021) Öztürk, Yusuf; Özyurt, Gonca; Görmez, Vahdet; Aslankaya, Zeynep Dilara; Baykara, Hüseyin Burak; Ekinci, Özalp; Kaya, İlyasObjectives: Our study aimed to evaluate the eating patterns of children as well as parental anxiety on virus transmission along with associated factors in the first month of the Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and to compare the results to pre-epidemic patterns. Materials and Methods: This study was planned as a multi-center (n=8), cross-sectional study. Informed consent forms and questionnaires were sent to the parents of the children between the ages of 6 and 18 years who applied to the study centers and accepted study participation via e-mail or instant messaging applications. Results: During the study period, 893 children with a mean age of 11.1 years (standard deviation=3.4) were enrolled. More than half (50.7%, n=453) were girls. The majority of families reported no change in eating patterns of their children in the first month of the pandemic (63.6%, n=568). More than one-fifth (21.4%, n=191) reported an improvement in eating patterns while 15.0% reported worsening. A significant minority of parents (40.0%) reported feeling “very anxious” for potential risk of transmission to themselves or their children. Parents with higher levels of anxiety were significantly younger and had lower levels of education (p<0.001, p=0.001, respectively). Conclusion: The COVID-19 epidemic has affected both parents’ anxiety and children’s eating patterns. The association of younger parental age and lower levels of education with elevated levels of anxiety related to transmission risk may be important for protective interventions in mental health. © 2021 Türkiye Çocuk ve Genç Psikiyatrisi Derneği / Çocuk ve Gençlik Ruh Sağlığı Dergisi, Galenos Yayınevi tarafından yayınlanmıştır.Öğe Parent rated bedtime resistance and comorbidity may predict levels of attention among Turkish children diagnosed with ADHD in on-line education classes during the COVID-19 outbreak(Kare Publishing, 2023) Öztürk, Yusuf; Özyurt, Gonca; Görmez, Vahdet; Aslankaya, Zeynep Dilara; Baykara, Burak; Tufan, Ali EvrenOBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the attention levels, of Turkish children and adolescents with Attention Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in on-line education classes with healthy controls. METHODS: This study is a cross-sectional, internet-based, case-control study that recruited 6-18 years old patients diag-nosed with ADHD and receving treatment and healthy controls from eight centers. The measurements used in the study were prepared in the google survey and delivered to the participants via Whatsapp application. RESULTS: Within the study period, 510 children with ADHD and 893 controls were enrolled. Parent-rated attention de-creased significantly in both groups during on-line education classes due to COVID-19 outbreak (p<0.001; for each). Children and adolescents with ADHD had significantly elevated bedtime resistance, problems in family functioning difficulties than control children according to parental reports (p=0.003; p<0.001; p<0.001, respectively). Furthermore, bedtime resistance and comorbidity significantly predicted attention levels in on-line education. CONCLUSION: Our findings may underline the need to augment student engagement in on-line education both for children without attention problems and those with ADHD. Interventions shown to be effective in the management of sleep difficulties in children as well as parent management interventions should continue during on-line education.
