Amaç: Kronik ve ilerleyici bir seyir gösteren Duchenne Musküler Distrofinopati (DMD), çocukluk çağının en sık karşılaşılan herediter kas hastalığı olup, yönetiminde pediatri uzmanlık öğrencileri ve pediatristler önemli rol oynamaktadır. Bu çalışmada; pediatri uzmanlık öğrencileri ve pediatristlerin DMD hakkındaki bilgi düzeyleri ve tutum özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamızda pediatri uzmanlık öğrencisi hekimler ve pediatri hekimlerinin DMD’nin genetik, patofizyolojik, klinik ve laboratuvar özellikleri yanısıra izlem ve yönetim özelliklerini kapsayan soruları cevaplamaları istenmiştir. Bu çalışma için veriler Google forms (Google LLC, Mountain View, CA, ABD isimli online tool yolu ile; makale yazarları tarafından hazırlanan 17 soruluk araştırmacılar tarafından tasarlanan bir anket aracılığıyla online ortamda toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya %53.8’i pediatrist, %13.7’si pediatri yandal uzmanlık öğrencisi, %32.5’i pediatri uzmanlık öğrencisi olmak üzere toplam 197 katılımcı alındı. DMD’nin X-linked geçiş gösterdiği katılımcıların %74.6’sı, her iki cinsiyette de görülebileceği %42.6’sı, distrofin proteinin primer eksikliği sonucu geliştiği bilgisi katılımcıların %93.3’ü tarafından doğru yanıtlandı. Katılımcıların %91.9’u DMD’li hastaların 9-11 yaş civarında yürümeyi kaybettiğini belirtti. DMD’li bir hastanın izleminde rol oynayan pediatri yandalları ve pediatri dışı bölümler açısından katılımcıların %50 ve daha fazlasının yeterli bilgisi olmadığı kaydedildi.
Sonuç: Bu çalışma ile pediatrik hasta takip ve tedavisinde önemli rol oynayan geniş bir hekim grubu değerlendirilerek DMD’nin genetik ve klinik özellikleri ve hastalık yönetimindeki önemli noktaların öğrenim faaliyetleri ile geliştirilmesinin gerekliliği dikkati çekmiştir.

Objective: Pediatric residents and pediatricians play an important role in the management of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophinopathy (DMD) which is the most frequent hereditary muscle disease of childhood. Our study aims to evaluate the knowledge levels and approaches of pediatric residents and pediatricians on DMD.
Material and Methods: In this study, pediatric residents and pediatricians were asked to answer questions on the genetic, pathophysiological, clinical, and laboratory features, in addition, to follow-up and management of DMD. Data acquisition was carried out using an online questionnaire consisting of 17 questions prepared by the authors via Google forms (Google LLC, Mountain View, Ca, USA).
Results: The distribution of 197 responders was as follows: 53.8% were pediatricians, 13.7% were pediatric subspecialty fellows and 32.5% were pediatric residents with a total of 197 responders. 74.6% of the responders gave correct answers on the X-linked inheritance of DMD, 42.6% on the fact that it affected both genders, 93.3% on the fact that the disease is caused by the primary deficiency of dystrophin protein. 91.9% of the responders reported that the patients lost the ability to walk around 9-11 years of age. More than 50% of the responders did not have adequate information on the departments that could participate in the management of DMD patients.
Conclusion: This study has evaluated a wide range of physicians playing important roles in the follow-up and management of pediatric patients and has revealed a necessity for improvement in knowledge about genetic and clinical features of DMD and its management via learning.

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
