Abstract

AIm: Most brain tumor patients encounter cognitive impairments. Coping with such challenges is intolerable for them. Objective: This study tries to determine the diagnostic role of cognitive tests, CPT, Stroop and TOL, in assessing neuro-cognitive impairments among patients with brain tumor and healthy participants. MaterIal and Methods: A cross-sectional study was done on a sample of 15 to 65 years old of 84 brain tumor patients and 84 healthy Iranians. Participants of both groups were physically and mentally examined and approved by neurosurgeons, neurologists and psychiatrists. By completing the questionnaires, they all entered the study and were referred to the neuroscientist for performing the tests. Results: According to CPT, Stroop and TOL tests, the performance of both groups was significantly regarding about age, sex and education variables (P<0.05). ConclusIon: Brain tumor patients in comparison to healthy participants met more cognitive changes on sustained, selective attention and planning. Therefore, diagnosis and assessment of these cognitive changes before and after the surgery can help rehabilitating patients&#8217; brains and improve their lives quality.

Özet

AMAÇ: Çoğu beyin tümörü hastası kognitif bozukluklar yaşar. Bu tür zorluklarla başa çıkmak bu hastalar için tolere edilemez bir durumdur. Bu çalışma, beyin tümörü olan hastalar ve sağlıklı kişiler arasında nörokognitif bozuklukları değerlendirmek için CPT, Stroop ve TOL kognitif testlerinin diagnostik rolünü belirlemeye çalışmaktadır. YÖNTEM ve GEREÇLER: Bu çalışma, 15 - 65 yaşında 84 beyin tümörü hastası ve 84 sağlıklı İranlı üzerinde yapılmıştır. Her iki grubun katılımcıları beyin cerrahları, nörologlar ve psikiyatristler tarafından fiziksel ve zihinsel olarak incelenip onaylanmışlardır. Sonra soru formlarını doldurarak çalışmaya katılmış ve testlerin yapılması için bir nörolojik bilimler uzmanına gönderilmişlerdir. BULGULAR: CPT, Stroop ve TOL testlerine göre iki grup arasında yaş, cinsiyet ve eğitim değişkenleri bakımından önemli performans farkı bulunmuştur (P<0,05). SONUÇ: Sağlıklı katılımcılara göre beyin tümörü hastalarında uzun süreli ve seçici dikkat ve planlama konusunda daha fazla kognitif değişiklik bulunmuştur. Bu nedenle, cerrahi öncesinde ve sonrasında bu kognitif değişikliklere tanı koyma ve değerlendirme bu hastaların beyin rehabilitasyonuna ve yaşam kalitelerini arttırmaya yardımcı olabilir.
