Özet:

 


Aim: Chest pain is a frequent cause of referral to
pediatric cardiology departments and leads to unnecessary testing although
cardiac etiology is very rare. Recent studies reported that  adolescents’ chest pain is  generally related with psychological disorder.
Adolescents prone to have psychological problems more than others. This
condition leads to have  different social
trends which also can be affected from recurrent complaints and ilnesses. The
aim of this study is to examine the relationship between chest pain and social
trends in adolescents.


Methods: A total of 101 adolescents -50 with chest
pain and 51 control- were enrolled in 
this study and ‘Social Trends Scale (STS)’ was applied to all
participants. Cigarette smoking, presence of 
family problem and monthly income were recorded. Social trends of participants
were evaluated in the subtitles of 
social adaptation, substance avoidance, violence avoidance, school
status, family status and ‘target and ideals’ by ‘STS’ which included 26
questions. 


Results: Chest pain group  had lower scores in all subtitles compared
with controls. Violence avoidance and family status scores were significantly
lower in study group. The presence of chest pain with smoking leaded to social
impairment and chest pain with smoking 
decreased the substance avoidance behavior. Chest pain had negative
effect on school status with monthly income of the family. 









Conclusion: Chest pain
effects  some social trends negatively
with some other factors. This social situation which we have observed during
the evaluation of adolescents with  chest
pain enlightens the importance of psychological evaluation and guidance
services.
