Abstract

Viral siğilli ergenlerde yaşam kalitesi ile psikiyatrik komorbidite ve ilişkili diğer psikososyal faktörlerin (akran zorbalığına maruz kalma/benlik saygısı/yalnızlık/sosyal destek) değerlendirilmesi: Olgu Kontrol Çalışması
ÖZ
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın ilk amacı, siğilli ergenlerde komorbid psikiyatrik bozuklukların sıklığının yanı sıra akran mağduriyeti, benlik saygısı, yalnızlık ve sosyal destek özellikleri gibi psikososyal faktörlerin değerlendirilmesidir. Bu çalışmanın ikinci amacı, bu ergenlerdeki yaşam kalitesini etkileyen faktörler ile çeşitli psikososyal faktörler (sosyal destek/yalnızlık/akran zorbalığına maruziyet/benlik saygısı) arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma, 62 viral siğilli ergen ile yaş ve cinsiyet açısından olgu grubuna benzer 62 sağlıklı kontrol ile yürütülmüştür. Olgu ve kontrol gruplarına Piers-Harris Öz-kavramı Ölçeği, Çocuklar için Sosyal Destek Değerlendirme Ölçeği, UCLA Yalnızlık Ölçeği-Kısa Formu, Akran Zorbalığı Kurbanlarını Belirleme Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Her iki grup Okul Çağı Çocukları İçin Duygulanım Bozuklukları ve Şizofreni Görüşme Çizelgesi-Şimdi Şekli Türkçe uyarlaması ile değerlendirilmiştir. Olgu grubuna Çocuklar için Dermatoloji Yaşam Kalite İndeksi uygulanmıştır.
Bulgular: Olgu kontrol grupları arasında psikiyatrik komorbidite sıklığı ile benlik saygısı/sosyal destek/yalnızlık/akran zorbalığına maruz kalma düzeyleri açısından anlamlı farklılık olmadığı saptanmıştır. Siğil süresi/sayısı/yerleşim yeri/bölge sayısı gibi faktörlerin yaşam kalitesi üzerinde etkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Viral siğilli ergenlerin sosyal destek ve yalnızlık düzeylerinin bu ergenlerin benlik saygıları ve akran zorbalığına maruz kalmaları ile ilişkili faktörler olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
Sonuç: Viral siğilli ergenlerin sosyal destek düzeylerini artırarak yalnızlık düzeylerinin azaltılması, bu ergenlerin akran zorbalığına maruz kalma riskini azaltıp yaşam kalitesi ve benlik saygısı düzeyleri üzerinde koruyucu rol oynayabilir.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Siğil, psikodermatoloji, yaşam kalitesi
Evaluation of quality of life, psychiatric comorbidity and other related psychosocial factors (peer victimization/self-esteem/loneliness/social support) in adolescents with warts: A case-control study
Abstract
Objective: The first aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of comorbid psychiatric disorders as well as psychosocial factors such as peer victimization, self-esteem, loneliness and social support properties in adolescents with warts. The second aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between factors affecting quality of life and the various psychosocial factors (social support/loneliness/ peer victimization/ self-esteem) in these adolescents.
Material and Methods: This study included 62 adolescents with viral warts and 62 age and gender-matched healthy controls. The Piers-Harris Self-Concept Scale, Social Support Scale for Children, short-form UCLA Loneliness Scale, and Peer Victimization Scale were administered to the case and control groups. Both groups were evaluated with the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Age Children- Present and Lifetime Version-Turkish Version. The Dermatology Life Quality Index was administered to the case group.
Results: There were no significant differences in the frequency of comorbid psychiatric disorders and the levels of peer victimization, self-esteem, loneliness and social support between the case and control groups. It was determined that the duration of presence of warts/number of warts/location of warts/number of involved sites significantly affected the quality of life. The levels of loneliness and social support were related to the levels of peer victimization and self-esteem in adolescents with viral warts.
Conclusions: Amelioration of loneliness by increasing social support can play a protective role on the levels of quality of life and self-esteem by reducing the risk of peer victimization in adolescents with viral warts.
Key words: Wart, psychodermatology, quality of life
