Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between anxiety and autonomy in adolescents with and without chronic disease. Method: A total of 158 adolescents with (n=79) or without the chronic disease (n=79) were included in this comparative descriptive and correlational study. Research data were collected by applying Adolescent Information Form, Trait Anxiety Scale and Sociotropy-Autonomy Scale to adolescents with and without chronic disease who applied to a training-research hospital pediatric outpatient clinic in Erzurum. hospital. Frequency, percentage, chi-square, independent groups T-test and correlation test were used to evaluate the data. Results: The average age of adolescents with chronic diseases participating in the study was found 13.9 ± 2.28, and the average age of adolescents without chronic disease was 14.6 ± 2.06. It was determined that 41.8% of adolescents had endocrine diseases and 12.7% had gastrointestinal diseases. The total score of the Trait Anxiety Scale was 51.0±7.01 in adolescents with chronic disease, and 51.11±8.36 in adolescents without chronic disease. The mean total score on the Autonomy Scale of adolescents with chronic diseases was 82.98±13.53, while this score was 76.68±18.20 in adolescents without chronic disease. No statistically significant relationship was found between the anxiety and autonomy personality traits of adolescents with and without chronic disease (r=0.14; p=0.19). Conclusion: It was determined that the adolescents who participated in the study with and without the chronic disease had moderate anxiety. Adolescents with chronic diseases were found to have higher autonomy than those without. No correlation was found between anxiety and autonomy scores of adolescents with and without chronic diseases.

Özet
Amaç: Bu araştırmada, kronik hastalığı olan ve olmayan adölesanlarda kaygı ve otonomi ilişkisini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Karşılaştırmalı tanımlayıcı ve ilişkisel türde gerçekleştirilen araştırmanın kapsamına kronik hastalığı (n=79) olan ve olmayan (n=79) toplam 158 adölesan alındı. Araştırma verileri, Erzurum’da bir eğitim-araştırma hastanesi çocuk polikliniğine başvuran kronik hastalığı olan ve olmayan adölesanlara; Adölesan Bilgi Formu, Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği ve Sosyotropi-Otonomi Ölçeği uygulanarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde frekans, yüzde, ki-kare, bağımsız gruplar t testi ve korelasyon testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan, kronik hastalığı olan adölesanların yaş ortalaması 13.9±2.28, kronik hastalığı olmayan adölesanların yaş ortalaması 14.6±2.06’dır. Adölesanların %41.8’inin endokrin hastalığı, %12.7’sinin gastrointestinal sistem hastalığı olduğu belirlendi. Kronik hastalığı olan adölesanlarda Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması 51.0±7.01, kronik hastalığı olmayan adölesanlarda 51.11±8.36 olarak bulundu. Kronik hastalığı olan adölesanların Otonomi Ölçeği ortalama toplam puanı 82.98±13.53, kronik hastalığı olmayan adölesanlarda ise bu puan 76.68±18.20 olarak belirlendi. Kronik hastalığı olan ve olmayan adölesanların kaygı ve otonomi kişilik özellikleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki belirlenmedi (r=0.14; p=0.19). Sonuç: Araştırmaya katılan kronik hastalığı olan ve olmayan adölesanların orta düzeyde kaygıya sahip olduğu belirlendi. Kronik hastalığı olan adölesanların otonomisinin olmayanlara göre daha yüksek olduğu tespit edildi. Kronik hastalığı olan ve olmayan adölesanların kaygı ve otonomi puanları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı.
