Abstract

Background: The novel coronavirus disease, so-called Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), is a global public health emergency that has caused worldwide concern. The lockdown due to the COVID-19 epidemic has consequences affecting mental health on different populations in the world and in our country. This study investigated the acute and chronic phase effects of lockdown period on hopelessness, anxiety and stress of caregivers of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Materials and Methods: The data of 31 caregivers of children with CP were included in this retrospective COHORT analysis. Those who had a history of treatment for depression, hypothyroidism and fibromyalgia, and caregivers who were found to have a Beck depression scale score above 16 points were excluded. Finally, the data of 22 caregivers were included. The data of each participant were analysed using Beck hopelessness scale, Beck anxiety inventory, and perceived stress scale (PSS) twice in timeline at least 10 months apart. Results: There was no significant difference in the scores of the participants between the first assessment and the second assessment for the Beck anxiety inventory (p=0.971). No significant difference in scores was observed between the first and second assessments for the Beck hopelessness scale (p=0.933). The PSS showed a significant difference between the first assessment and the second assessment. Ten months after the lockdown process, the PSS scores were found to be significantly lower (p=0.001). Conclusion: Particular attention should be paid to groups with special needs like caregivers of patients with CP during a pandemic. Various studies have shown that pandemic and lockdown may increase perceived stress levels. According to the data of this study,he perceived stress levels of CP caregivers differed significantly in the acute and chronic periods after lockdown.

Özet

Amaç: Koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 (COVID-19) olarak adlandırılan yeni koronavirüs hastalığı, dünya çapında endişeye neden olan küresel bir halk sağlığı acil durumudur. COVID-19 salgını nedeniyle sokağa çıkma yasağı, dünyada ve ülkemizde farklı popülasyonlar üzerinde ruh sağlığını etkileyen sonuçlar doğurmaktadır. Bu çalışma, serebral palsili (SP) çocuklara bakım verenlerin umutsuzluk, kaygı ve stres üzerindeki karantina döneminin akut ve kronik faz etkilerini araştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu retrospektif COHORT analizine SP’li çocukların bakımvereni olan 31 kişinin verileri dahil edildi. Depresyon, hipotiroidi ve fibromiyalji tedavisi öyküsü olanlar ve Beck depresyon ölçeği puanı 16 puanın üzerinde bulunan bakımverenler çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Son olarak 22 bakımverenin verileri dahil edilmiştir. Her katılımcının verileri, Beck umutsuzluk ölçeği, Beck anksiyete envanteri ve algılanan stres ölçeği (ASÖ) puanları kullanılarak zaman çizelgesinde en az 10 ay arayla iki kez analiz edildi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların Beck anksiyete ölçeği için ilk değerlendirme ile ikinci değerlendirme arasında puanları arasında anlamlı bir fark yoktu (p=0,971). Beck umutsuzluk ölçeği için birinci ve ikinci değerlendirmeler arasında puanlarda anlamlı bir fark gözlenmedi (p=0,933). ASÖ, ilk değerlendirme ile ikinci değerlendirme arasında anlamlı bir fark saptandı. Kapanma sürecinden on ay sonra ASÖ puanlarının anlamlı derecede düşük olduğu bulundu (p=0,001). Sonuç: Pandemi sırasında SP hastalarının bakımverenleri gibi özel ihtiyaçları olan gruplara özel dikkat gösterilmelidir. Çeşitli araştırmalar, pandemi ve kapanmanın algılanan stres düzeylerini artırabileceğini göstermiştir. Bu çalışmanın verilerine göre, kapanma sonrası akut ve kronik dönemde SP bakım verenlerin algılanan stres düzeyleri önemli ölçüde farklılık göstermiştir.
