Özet

Amaç: Çin’de başlayan ve tüm dünyayı etkileyen COVID-19 salgını global bir sağlık krizine dönüşmüştür. Bu çalışmanın amacı, COVID-19 pandemisi sırasında psikiyatri polikliniğine başvuran çocuk ve ergenlerin sosyodemografik özelliklerini ve psikiyatrik tanılarını belirlemektir. Yöntem: AFSÜ çocuk psikiyatri polikliniğine Eylül 2019-Mart 2020 ve Eylül 2020-Mart 2021 tarihleri arasında başvuran hastalar çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Hastalar retrospektif olarak Nucleus® poliklinik sistemi ile taranmıştır. Veriler SSPS 21.0 ile analiz edilmiştir. Vakaların yaş, cinsiyet ve psikiyatrik tanıları incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 1157 hasta dahil edilmiştir. Hastaların yaş ortalaması 10,8 yıl ve %61,5’i erkek cinsiyetteydi. Hastaların %53,8’i (n=622) pandemi öncesinde, %46,2’si (n=535) pandemi sonrasında başvuru yapmıştır. Pandemi sonrası dönemde, pandemi öncesi döneme göre başvurular kız cinsiyet yönünde artmıştır (p=0,017) ve başvuranların yaş ortalaması azalmıştır (p=0,035). Pandemi öncesinde başvuranların %40,0’ı Dikkat Eksikliği ve Hiperaktivite Bozukluğu (DEHB), %16,1’i Anksiyete Bozukluğu (AB), %5,1’i Otizm Spektrum Bozukluğu (OSB) ana tanısı alırken, pandemi sonrası başvuranların %27,3’ü DEHB, %19,3’ü AB, %5,6’sı OSB ana tanısı almıştır.
