Gelişimsel Gecikmelerin Erken Tanısında Çocuk Doktorlarının Rolü

Öz

Amaç: Türkiye için her beş çocuktan birinin gelişimsel sorunu olduğu kabul edilirse, bu çocukların olabilecek en erken dönemde fark edilmeleri çok önem kazanmaktadır. Çocuk doktorlarının olası gelişimsel sorunların erken fark edilmesi noktasında özel bir konumları olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, çocuklarda görülen gelişimsel gecikmelerin erken tespiti konusunda çocuk doktorlarının tutum ve davranışlarını belirlemek, ailelerin bu konudaki beklentilerini tanımlamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu araştırmada 29 çocuk doktoru ve onları ziyarete gelen 189 yaş çocuk sahibi ailelere birer anket uygulaması yapılmıştır.Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan çocuk doktorlarının yalnızca % 29’u gelişim tarama testi kullanmaktadır. Çalışmada çocuk gelişimi takip yöntemi olarak “Gelişim Tarama Testi Kullanımı” son sırada yer almıştır. Sonuç: Çocuk doktorlarının gelişim takibinde düzenli gelişim tarama testi kullanmasına, yeni ebeveyn-bildirimli gelişim tarama ölçeklerinin ülkemiz için geliştirilmesi yolunda çalışmalar yapılmasına ve çocuk sağlığını ilgilendiren ortamlarda gelişim danışmanlığı hizmetlerinin sunulmasına yönelik proje çalışmalarına gereksinim vardır

Pediatrician’s Role in Early Identification of Developmental Delays

Öz

Objective: One out of five children in Turkey is assumed to have a developmental delay or disability. Early identification of these children is very important for early intervention. Pediatricians stand in a unique position regarding early identification of developmental issues. The aim of this research is to determine the attitude and behaviors of pediatricians towards early detection of developmental delays and to describe the expectation of parents on this issue. Material and Methods: Only 29 % of the pediatricians said that they had been using developmental screening tests. Developmental screening test was the least used method for developmental.Results: Only 29 % of the pediatricians said that they were using developmental screening tests. Developmental screening test was the least used method for developmental follow-up. Conclusion: Project studies should be performed concerning routine use of screening tests for developmental follow-ups by pediatricians, new parent-reported screening tests should be introduced for use in our country, and counselling services should be offered for improvement of children’s health
