Abstract

Objective: Depression is an important disease in childhood and early diagnosis is crucial. In this study, we aimed to determine the depression levels of children in hospital settings and evaluation of the processes leading to the emergence of depression. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, pediatric patients who admitted to outpatient clinics and pediatric inpatients were included. The child depression inventory and a questionnaire consisting of 22 questions about sociodemographic characteristics and personal information such as age, gender, income level of the family and social media usage of the children were applied to the patients. Results: 72 participants who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Of these participants, 38 were female (52.8%) and 34 were male (47.2%). When the depression scale scores of the children were examined, the mean score of the depression scale was 10.39 ± 5.99 (2-30). In our study, 7 (9.7%) of 72 patients had high depression scale scores. There was a significant relationship between depression scale scores and age (p = 0.033). In addition, a statistically significant relationship was found between smoking status with depression scores and sleep duration with depression scores in children. Depression scores increased with the presence of smoking. Conclusions: Screening of pediatric patients who admitted to pediatric hospitals or inpatients in terms of depression may allow early diagnosis and therefore treatment. In particular, depression screening should be performed in children who admitted to hospital with sleep problems and smokers adolescents.
