Bu çalışmada, koronavirus (COVID-19) pandemisi sürecinin özel gereksinimli adölesanların beslenme durumu üzerine etkisinin incelenmek amaçlandı. Bu kesitsel çalışma 12-18 yaş arasındaki 51 zihinsel engelli öğrenci ile gerçekleştirildi. Veriler “Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu”, “Özel Gereksinimli Çocukların Beslenme Davranışları Formu” ve “Özel Gereksinimli Çocukların Beslenmesine İlişkin Ebeveyn Davranışları Formu” ile toplandı. Öğrencilerin beden kütle indeksi ortalaması pandemi sırasında pandemi öncesine göre daha yüksekti (26.68±7.66, 29.08±8.11, t=-8.358, p<0.001). Pandemi sırasında pandemi öncesine göre obez öğrencilerin sayısında artış tespit edildi (%29.4, %43.1, 2= 26.605, p<0.001). Doyduktan sonra yemek yiyen, öğün aralarında yemek yiyen, öğün aralarında atıştırmalık tüketen ve öğün saatinde atıştırmalık tüketen öğrenci sayısı pandemi sırasında öncesine göre daha fazlaydı (p<0.05). Çocuğuna özel diyet uygulayan, çocuğun yaşına uygun günlük verilmesi gereken besin porsiyonlarını düzenleyen, çocuğun tükettiği yiyeceklerin besin değerine dikkat eden ve çocuğun dengeli beslenmesine dikkat eden annelerin sayısı pandemi öncesinde pandemi sırasına göre daha fazlaydı (p<0.001). Özel gereksinimli çocukların pandemi sırasında pandemi öncesine göre beslenme düzenlerinin bozulduğu ve bu çocuklarda ağırlık artışı olduğu tespit edildi. Özel gereksinimli çocuklar ve tüm ailenin beslenme düzeninin iyileştirmesi amacıyla bu çocukların ailelerine sağlıklı beslenme ilkeleri hakkına eğitimler verilmesi gereklidir.
