Çocuklar İçin Özel Gereksinim Raporlarının Değerlendirilmesi

Year 2023, Volume: 13 Issue: 1, 126 - 30, 31.01.2023

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, sağlık kuruluna çocuklar için özel gereksinim raporu (ÇÖZGER) için başvuran çocukların raporlarının cinsiyet, yaş, tanı ve özel gereksinim alanı açısından değerlendirilmesini amaçlamaktadır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Adıyaman Kahta Devlet Hastanesi Sağlık Kurulu'na 1 Ocak-31 Aralık 2022 tarihleri arasında başvuran 0-18 yaş arası 269 çocuğun ÇÖZGER ve sosyodemografik özellikleri retrospektif olarak incelendi.
Bulgular: Olguların yaş ortalaması 7,4±4,9 olup, bunların 109'u (%40,5) kadın, %59,5'i erkekti. Rapor alanları incelendiğinde en yüksek oranın %42,4 ile bilişsel alan olduğu görüldü. Önerilen özel gereksinimler incelendiğinde %43,9'u bilişsel işlevleri desteklemek için rehabilitasyon/erken müdahale gerektiğini belirtmiştir. Hem kızlarda hem de erkeklerde en yüksek özel gereksinim düzeyi özel durum gereksinimlerinin varlığıydı. Özel gereksinim düzeyi açısından cinsiyetler arasında anlamlı fark yoktu. Ancak erkek çocuklarda çocuk ve ergen psikiyatrisi bölümü oranı (%22,5) kız çocukların oranından (%12,8) anlamlı olarak yüksek bulunmuştur (p=0,046). Diğer alanlarda cinsiyetler arasında anlamlı fark yoktu (p>0,05).
Sonuç: ÇÖZGER, çocukların ve ailelerin ihtiyaçlarına mali, sosyal ve istisnai eğitim desteği sağlar. Bu nedenle sağlık kurullarının en hızlı ve en objektif kararları verecek şekilde düzenlenmesi gerekmektedir. Raporların bir bütün olarak incelenmesi kaliteli hizmet için sağlık profesyonellerine, kalıcı çözümler için sosyal bilimcilere ve kanun koyuculara yol göstermektedir.
