Abstract

Objective: When cancer was diagnosed, both children and their families are affected unfavourably. Fear of losing their child and the possibility of death, causes serious anxiety especially in parents. In this study we aim to evaluate psychologic status of mothers whose children were diagnosed with cancer. Materials and Methods: In this trial, we included the mothers of 70 patients under monitoring at the pediatric hematology-oncology department of Karadeniz Technical University who were still receiving treatment or had completed treatment. The state-trait anxiety, desperation, anxiety, depression and burnout conditions were evaluated in the patient mothers using psychometric tests. Results: The burnout scale showed impairment in 39% of the mothers of children who had been diagnosed and were still receiving treatment, and in 50% of the mothers of children with relapse, who were still on treatment. Among the mothers of children, who had completed treatment and were under monitoring, 5% had impaired burnout scale. The Beck desperation scale was detected to show improvement as the number of children increased. While 10% of the mothers receiving support from the fathers had an impaired Beck desperation, this figure was 46% among the mothers with no support from the fathers. Conclusion: In conclusion, the support of the healthcare staff given to the mothers in addition to the father and the other family members would greatly avoid the development of psychological disorders. Giving support to the mothers, particularly in periods of diagnosis and intensive treatment, is very important.

Özet

Amaç: Kanser tanısı koyulduğu andan itibaren hem çocuk hem de ailesi bu durumdan olumsuz etkilenmektedir. Özellikle ebeveynlerde çocuğunu kaybetme korkusu, onun ölebileceği ihtimali şiddetli anksiyeteye yol açmaktadır. Bu çalışmada kanser tanısı koyulmuş olan çocukların annelerinde psikososyal durumun belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmada Karadeniz Teknik Üniversitesi Pediatrik Hematoloji-Onkoloji ünitesinde takip edilmekte olan tedavisi devam eden veya tedavisi tamamlanmış 70 hastanın annesi çalışmaya alındı. Psikometrik testlerle hasta annelerinin durumluluk-sürekli kaygı, umutsuzluk, anksiyete, depresyon ve tükenmişlik durumları değerlendirildi. Annelerin sosyokültürel durumları da sorgulanarak psikolojik durumu etkileyen çocuğa, hastalığa ve anneye ait faktörlerin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Bulgular: İlk tanı almış olup tedavisi devam etmekte olan hasta annelerinin %39'da, relaps olup tedavisi devam eden hasta annelerinin % 50'de tükenmişlik ölçeği kesme puanının üzerinde bulundu. Tedavisi tamamlanmış olup takip edilen hasta annelerinin ise %5'inin tükenmişlik ölçeği yüksekti. Çocuk sayısı arttıkça Beck umutsuzluk ölçeği kesme puanının altında izlendi. Baba desteği alan annelerden %10'da Beck umutsuzluk ölçeği kesme puanı üzerinde iken, baba yardımı almayan annelerin %46'da Beck depresyon ölçeği kesme puanı üzerindeydi. Sonuç: Sonuç olarak annelere babanın ve diğer aile fertlerinin desteğine ilave olarak sağlık personeli tarafından destek sağlanması psikolojik bozuklukların büyük ölçüde önlenmesini sağlayacaktır. Özellikle annelerin tanı ve yoğun tedavi dönemlerinde desteklenmesi çok önemlidir.
