Özet

Kekemeliğin sebebi bilinmemekle birlikte genetik, psikososyal stres etmenlerine maruz kalma, obsesif, özgüveni yetersiz kişilik özelliğine sahip olma, merkezi sinir sistemi anomalileri, ailenin ilk çocuğu olma risk etmenleri olarak bildirilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, kekemeliği olan çocuk ve ergenlerin sosyodemografık özelliklerini, psikososyal stres etmenlerini belirlemek, düzeleri ve düzelmeyen kekeme gruplar arasındaki sosyodemografik faklılıkları saptamak hedeflenmiştir. Çocuk ve ergen psikiyatri polikliniğine başvuran 188 çocuk ve ergen kekeme olgusu çalışmaya alındı. 83'üne ulaşılarak muayeneleri yeniden yapıldı: 43 olguda son 6 aydır kekemelik yoktu (Grup 1). 40 olguda kekemelik değişen sıklıkta devam ediyordu (Grup 2). Grup 1' deki olgular polikliniğe daha erken yaşta başvurmuştu ve üç kelimeli cümle kurmaya Grup 2'deki olgulara göre daha erken başlamışlardı. Grup 1'deki olgularda daha fazla stres faktörü saptandı.
