THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND SOCIAL ANXIETY LEVELS OF CHILDREN WITH PANCREATITIS
Öz
Acute pancreatitis (AP) and acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) are the diseases that affect the quality of life and level of anxiety in children. In the literature, studies that measure the life quality or anxiety levels of children with pancreatitis are very limited. The aim of this study was to compare pancreatitis cases with a healthy control group in terms of life quality and anxiety levels. A total of 40 patients with pancreatitis and 40 healthy volunteers were included in this study. Age, gender, quality of life scale and social anxiety scores of the study group were recorded. In comparison of mean and median values of the groups, independent t-test, ANOVA, Mann Withney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used according to the normal distribution suitability. Pancreatitis and control groups were similar in terms of age and sex (p> 0.05). Comparing the scores of social anxiety scale, average score of control group was lower than the other two groups (p <0.001). When the scores obtained from the quality of life scale were compared, physical health (p <0.001), psychosocial health (p <0.001) and average score (p <0.001) of control group were lower than the other two groups. There was no significant difference between the scores of children with AP and ARP. Children with pancreatitis had lower quality of life and higher social anxiety scores. It is necessary to increase the awareness of clinicians on this issue and to carry out further studies in larger study groups.
