Özet:

 Aim: This study aimed to examine the self-concept and related psychological factors in children and adolescents with neurofibromatosis type 1 NF1. Material and Methods: A total of 71 participants 35 patients and 36 controls were included in this study. As measurement tools the Piers-Harris childrens self-concept scale PHSCS, family assessment device FAD, Turgay DSM-IV-based screening and rating scale for disruptive behavior disorders T-DSM-IV-S, childrens depression inventory CDI, Beck depression inventory BDI, state-trait anxiety inventory STAI, childrens sleep habits questionnaire CSHQ, and autism spectrum quotient-adolescent AQ-adolescent were used. Results: NF1 patients had lower intellectual functioningacademic achievement p0.002 and popularitysocial appreciation p0.001 subscale scores in addition to total self-esteem p0.002 scores compared to the control group. Inattentiveness p0.024, state anxiety p0.028, and trait anxiety p0.012 symptoms were more common in these patients, and autistic features were more conspicuous in adolescents p0.001. Mothers depression p0.045, and state and trait anxiety p0.016, and p0.006, respectively levels were higher in the NF1 group. Depression, state anxiety, and hyperactivity were found predictors of self-concept in children and adolescents with NF1 p0.001, p0.036, and p0.016, respectively. Conclusion: Turkish children and adolescents with NF1 face substantial challenges related to their self-concept and psychological health, particularly in academic and social domains, compared to their peers. It seems important to be aware of poor self-concept and related psychological factors in NF patients early in life and to develop intervention programs to address this issue.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma, nörofibromatozis tip 1 NF1 tanısı olan çocuk ve ergenlerde benlik kavramını ve ilişkili psikolojik faktörleri incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmaya toplam 71 katılımcı 35 hasta ve 36 kontrol dahil edildi. Ölçme aracı olarak Piers-Harris çocuklar için benlik kavramı ölçeği PHBKÖ, aile değerlendirme ölçeği ADÖ, Turgay yıkıcı davranım bozuklukları için DSM-IVe dayalı tarama ve değerlendirme ölçeği YDB- TDÖ, çocuklar için depresyon ölçeği ÇDÖ, Beck depresyon envanteri BDE, durumluk-sürekli kaygı envanteri DSKE, çocuk uyku alışkanlıkları anketi ÇUAA ve otizm spektrum anketi-ergen formu OSA-ergen uygulandı. Bulgular: NF1 hastaları, kontrol grubuna kıyasla daha düşük toplam benlik kavramı puanlarının p0,002 yanı sıra daha düşük zihinsel işlevsellikakademik başarı p0,002 ve popülerliksosyal beğeni p0,001 alt ölçek puanlarına sahipti. Dikkat eksikliği p0,024, durumluk anksiyete p0,028 ve sürekli anksiyete p0,012 semptomları bu hastalarda daha sıktı ve ergenlerde otistik özellikler p0,001 daha belirgindi. Annelerin depresyon p0,045 ve durumluk ve sürekli kaygı sırasıyla p0,016 ve p0,006 düzeyleri NF1 grubunda daha yüksekti. NF1 tanılı çocuk ve ergenlerde depresyon, durumluk anksiyete ve hiperaktivite, benlik kavramının yordayıcıları olduğunu gösterdi sırasıyla, p0,001, p0,036 ve p0,016. Sonuç: NF1 tanısı olan Türk çocuk ve ergenler, akranlarına kıyasla, özellikle akademik ve sosyal alanlarda olmak üzere benlik kavramları ve psikolojik sağlıkları ile ilgili önemli zorluklarla karşılaşmaktadır. NF hastalarındaki zayıf benlik kavramının ve ilişkili psikolojik faktörlerin yaşamın erken dönemlerinde farkında olmak ve buna yönelik müdahale programları geliştirmek önemli görünmektedir.
