OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the difficulties experienced by pediatric patients diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and their families during the COVID-19 pandemic.MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study was conducted at the Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University Hospital Child Health and Diseases Clinic between May 1, 2020 and July 1, 2020. 102 patients and their parent pairs, aged between 4 and 18, diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, were included in the study. All data were collected by an online survey method through the "Google Forms" platform. The SPSS 26 package program was used for statistical analysis and p<0.05 was considered significant.RESULTS: Of the patients included in the study, 55 were female (53.9%) and 47 were male. The average age of the patients participating in the study was found to be 13.02 ±3.9 years. It was determined that during the pandemic period, 62 (60.8%) of the participating cases had an increase in their insulin treatment dose, 21 (20.6%) experienced a hyperglycemia attack, and 61 (59.8%) experienced a hypoglycemia attack. It was found that junk food consumption increased in 44 (43.1%) of the cases and the sleeping habits of 60 (58.8%) were affected.CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that parents of children diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus had sufficient knowledge about COVID-19 during the pandemic. During the pandemic, it was also determined that patients diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus had problems adapting to their diet, their sleep patterns changed and they needed professional health support to keep the disease under control.

AMAÇ: Bu çalışma ile Tip 1 Diabetes Mellitus tanılı çocuk hastaların ve ailelerinin COVID-19 pandemisi sırasında yaşadıkları zorlukların değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı.GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Bu çalışma Afyonkarahisar Sağlık Bilimleri Üniversitesi Hastanesi Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Kliniği’nde 1 Mayıs 2020 - 1 Temmuz 2020 tarihleri arasında yürütüldü. Çalışmaya 4-18 yaş arası Tip 1 Diabetes Mellitus tanısı ile takip edilen 102 hasta ve ebeveyn çifti dahil edildi. Tüm veriler, “Google Formlar” platformu aracılığıyla online anket yöntemiyle toplandı. İstatistiksel analiz için SPSS 26 paket programı kullanıldı ve p<0,05 anlamlı kabul edildi.BULGULAR: Çalışmaya alınan hastaların 55’i kız (%53.9) ve 47’si ise erkek idi. Çalışmaya katılan hastaların yaş ortalaması 13.02 ±3.9 yıl olarak bulundu. Pandemi döneminde katılımcı olguların 62’sinin (%60,8) insülin tedavi dozunda artış olduğu, 21’inin (%20,6) hiperglisemi atağı, 61’inin (%59,8) hipoglisemi atağı yaşadığı saptandı. Olguların 44’ünün (%43.1) abur-cubur tüketiminin arttığı ve 60’nın (%58,8) uyku alışkanlığının etkilendiği bulundu.SONUÇ: Bu çalışma, Diabetes Mellitus tanılı çocukları olan ebeveynlerin pandemi döneminde COVID-19 hakkında yeterli bilgiye sahip olduklarını gösterdi.
