Özet:

 Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of cases who have applied to a research and training hospital for special needs reports for children. Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed on the medical records of children and adolescents aged 0 to 18 who applied to the Medical Board of the Şanlurfa Mehmet Akif İnan Training and Research Hospital and underwent psychiatric evaluations between June 2022 and December 2022. Results: The research covered 600 cases, of whom 39 n234 were female and 61 n366 were male, and the mean age at the time that patients applied to the child psychiatry outpatient clinic was 7.874.43. When the child psychiatry diagnoses in the special needs reports were examined, it was found that 78 of the cases n468 had at least one psychiatric diagnosis, and 86.3 n518 of all patients had no previous psychiatric drug use. The most common psychiatric disorder was Borderline Intellectual Functioning n110, followed by Specific Learning Disorder n64. Autism Spectrum Disorder was more common in boys whereas Severe Intellectual Disability was significantly more common in girls. There was no significant difference between the 3 different age groups in terms of the frequency of Mild Intellectual Disability, Severe Intellectual Disability, and Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnoses. Conclusion: Psychiatrists and other medical professionals can greatly benefit from knowing the characteristics of children and adolescents who apply to the medical boards for special needs reports in various parts of Turkey. To fully address this matter, further research with larger numbers of samples from various centers are required.

 Amaç: Çalışmamızda bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesine çocuklar için özel gereksinim raporu almak üzere başvuran olguların sosyodemografik ve klinik özelliklerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Haziran 2022-Aralık 2022 tarihleri arasında Şanlıurfa Mehmet Akif İnan Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Sağlık Kuruluna başvuran ve psikiyatrik muayenesi gerçekleşen 0-18 yaş arası çocuk ve ergenlerin tıbbi kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 39u n234 kız, 61i n366 erkek olmak üzere toplam 600 olgu dahil edilmiştir ve hastaların çocuk psikiyatrisi polikliniğine başvurdukları andaki yaş ortalamaları 7,874,43 olarak saptanmıştır. Özel gereksinim raporlarında yer alan çocuk psikiyatrisi tanıları incelendiğinde olguların 78inde n468 en az bir psikiyatrik tanı olduğu ve tüm hastaların 86,3 ünün n518 daha önce psikiyatrik ilaç kullanmadığı saptanmıştır. Özel gereksinim raporlarında en sık yer alan psikiyatrik bozukluk, Sınırda Entelektüel İşlevsellik n110 olup, bunu Özgül Öğrenme Bozukluğu n64 takip etmektedir. Otizm Spektrum Bozukluğu erkeklerde daha yaygınken, Ağır Zihinsel Yetersizlik kızlarda anlamlı olarak daha yaygın bulunmuştur. Hafif Düzeyde Zihinsel Yetersizlik, Ağır Düzeyde Zihinsel Yetersizlik ve Otizm Spektrum Bozukluğu tanılarının görülme sıklığı bakımından 3 farklı yaş grubu arasında anlamlı fark saptanmamıştır. Sonuç: Türkiyenin farklı bölgelerinde sağlık kurullarına özel gereksinim raporu için başvuran çocuk ve ergenlerin özelliklerinin belirlenmesi, psikiyatristler ve diğer uzmanlık dallarında çalışan hekimler için klinik uygulamada önemli yararlar sağlayacaktır. Bu konuyu tam olarak ele almak için farklı merkezlerden daha büyük örneklemlerle daha fazla çalışmaya ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.
