Abstract

Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on children with neurodevelopmental disorders through Tele-Medicine system. Method: Children aged between 7-18 years old with neurodevelopmental disorders were evaluated. On the routine control visit day, they and their parents were called by phone via the Tele-Medicine system and a questionnaire prepared by the researchers was applied to evaluate the compliance process to the pandemic. The disease severity of the cases was evaluated by the Clinical Global Impression Scale. Results: In our study, 17.6% of the cases were girls and 82.4% were boys. The average age is 11.66±3.46 years. In this study 51% of the cases were diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder; 47.1% with Intellectual Disability and 17.6% with Special Learning Disorder. The comorbidity of Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder was found to be 49%. Increased anxiety is reported by 25.5% of the cases, appetite and nutritional problems by %37.3 and sleep pattern changes by 62.7%. Pre-pandemic score of Clinical Global Impression Scale was evaluated as 3.82±0.81, and the score during the pandemic as 4.09±0.87. Discussion: It was found that, in the early period of the Covid-19 pandemic, the most common problems of the cases with neurodevelopmental disorder were the sleep pattern changes, appetite and nutritional problems and increased anxiety. It is thought that our findings will guide psychosocial support interventions for children and adolescents with developmental problems during the pandemic.

Özet

Amaç: COVID19 pandemisinin, nörogelişimsel bozukluğu olan çocuklar üzerine olan etkisinin Tele-Tıp uygulaması ile değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışmada, nörogelişimsel bozukluk tanısı olan 7-18 yaş aralığındaki çocuk ve gençler değerlendirilmiştir. Randevu tarihlerinde Tele-Tıp Sistemi kapsamında telefonla aranıp kendileri ve ebeveynleriyle görüşülmüş, pandemiye uyum sürecini değerlendirmek amacıyla araştırmacıların hazırladığı anket uygulanmıştır. Pandemi öncesi ve sonrası hastalık şiddeti Klinik Global İzlenim Ölçeği ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Değerlendirilen 51 olgunun %17.6’sı kız, %82.4’ü erkektir. Yaş ortalaması 11.66±3.46 yıldır. Çalışmaya alınan olguların %51’i Otizm Spektrum Bozukluğu; %47.1’i Zihinsel Yetersizlik; %17.6’sı Özel Öğrenme Bozukluğu tanısı ile izlenmektedir. Dikkat Eksikliği ve Hiperaktivite Bozukluğu komorbiditesi %49 olarak saptanmıştır. Olguların %25.5’i kaygı artışı, %37.3’ü iştah ve beslenme düzeni değişikliği, %62.7’si uyku değişikliği bildirmiştir. Olguların pandemi öncesi Klinik Global İzlenim Ölçeği puanı 3.82±0.81, pandemi sürecindeki puanı 4.09±0.87 olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç: Covid-19 pandemisinin erken döneminde, nörogelişimsel bozukluk tanısı ile izlemde olan çocuk ve gençlerin en sık uyku düzeni değişiklikleri, iştah ve beslenme sorunları ve kaygı artışı saptanmıştır. Bulgularımızın pandemi sürecinde gelişimsel sorunları olan çocuk ve gençlere yönelik geliştirilecek psikososyal destek müdahalelerine yol gösterici olacağı düşünülmüştür
