Çocuk Kardiyoloji Polikliniğine Göğüs Ağrısı ve Çarpıntı Şikayeti ile Başvuran Çocuklarda Ruhsal Belirtilerin İncelenmesi

Öz

Bu çalışmada, nonkardiyak izole göğüs ağrısı ya da izole çarpıntısı olan çocuk ve ergenlerdeki anksiyete ve depresyon düzeylerinin sağlıklı çocuklar ile karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Kesitsel, vaka-kontrol tasarımındaki bu çalışmaya 9-18 yaş arası 28 izole göğüs ağrısı, 22 izole çarpıntı ve 50 sağlıklı çocuk dahil edilmiştir. Katılımcıların anksiyete ve depresyon düzeylerini değerlendirmek için Çocuklarda Anksiyete ve Depresyon Ölçeği-Yenilenmiş Formu (ÇADÖ-Y) uygulanmıştır. Her iki vaka grubunda da (izole göğüs ağrısı ve izole çarpıntı) sağlıklı kontrollere kıyasla ÇADÖ-Y alt boyutlarından sosyal fobi, ayrılık anksiyetesi, yaygın anksiyete bozukluğu, panik bozukluk, obsesif kompulsif bozukluk, major depresif bozukluk ve total anksiyete puanları anlamlı düzeyde daha yüksek saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Bu sonuçlar, nonkardiyak izole göğüs ağrısı ya da çarpıntısı olan çocuklarda anksiyete ve depresif belirtilerin sağlıklı çocuklara göre daha fazla olduğunu göstermektedir. Nonkardiyak izole göğüs ağrısı ya da çarpıntısı olan çocuk ve ergenlerde psikiyatrik sorunlar açısından dikkatli değerlendirme yapılmalı ve gereksiz medikal tanı işlemlerinin önlenmesi için psikiyatrik inceleme tanısal sürece dahil edilmelidir.

The Assessment of Psychological Symptoms in Children Presenting to The Paediatric Cardiology Clinic With Chest Pain And Palpitations

Abstract

This study aimed to compare the levels of anxiety and depression in children and adolescents with non-cardiac isolated chest pain or isolated palpitations to those of healthy controls. The present cross-sectional case-control study comprised 28 children aged 9–18 years with isolated chest pain, 22 with isolated palpitations, and 50 healthy children. The Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS) was utilised to assess the anxiety and depression levels of the participants. The two case groups (isolated chest pain and isolated palpitations) demonstrated significantly higher scores on the RCADS subscales, including social phobia, separation anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive–compulsive disorder, and major depressive disorder, as well as total anxiety scores, when compared with healthy controls (p<0.05). The findings indicate that children experiencing non-cardiac chest pain or palpitations exhibit elevated levels of anxiety and depressive symptoms in comparison to their healthy peers. It is imperative to maintain a high level of vigilance with regard to the potential occurrence of psychiatric complications in children and adolescents who present with non-cardiac chest pain or palpitations. A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation should be integrated into diagnostic assessments, with the objective of averting unwarranted medical investigations.
