Öğe Communication skills of residents to families with Down syndrome babies(Soc Argentina Pediatria, 2016) Dogan, Derya G.; Kutluturk, Yesim; Kivilcim, Meltem; Canaloglu, Sinem K.Background. Generally, pediatricians are the first health caregivers to deliver initial diagnosis of Down syndrome (DS) to the families. However, most of the parents are not satisfied with the contents and how they receive information when their child is born with DS. Pediatric residents should target educational interventions to help parents to overcome with these issues and to provide accurate information. The objective is to assess comfort levels and training requirements of pediatric residents to communicate with parents of babies born with Down syndrome. Methods. Diagnostic Situations Inventory (DSI) is a rating scale which included ten questions to assess discomfort level. A survey was sent via mobile, websites and all the social media which were available to all pediatrics residents in the country. Socio-demographic factors including information about training requirement were collected as well. Results. From the 326 participants, total mean discomfort level was 30.22 in DSI out of 50 which was the highest score. Discomfort level was significantly increased in female participants (p=0.033). Being female (p=0.014), having less residency level (p=0.028), examining less number of patients with Down syndrome (p=0.025) and having higher discomfort levels (p=0.001) were found to be related with increased training requirement. From the residents, 84% declared the need for additional training. Conclusions. This study showed that pediatric residents had a high level of discomfort when communicating with parentes of newborn with Down Syndrome. Female residentes had a discomfort level significantly higher than male residentes.Öğe Experience of mothers with Down syndrome children at the time of diagnosis(Soc Argentina Pediatria, 2019) Buyukavci, Mehmet A.; Dogan, Derya G.; Canaloglu, Sinem K.; Kivilcim, MeltemIntroduction. Down's syndrome (DS) is a common genetic disorder. The families of children with DS generally do not receive sufficient information at the time of the diagnosis. They are dissatisfied with the manner of healthcare professionals. The objective was to evaluate the experiences of mothers of children with DS at the time of the diagnosis and the communicative attitudes of healthcare professionals. Population and methods. Mothers who had children with Down syndrome were included. The experiences of the mothers at the time of diagnosis and the attitudes of the healthcare professionals were evaluated by a semi-structured interview. Results. The study sample was 43 mothers. Eight children had been diagnosed with DS prenatally, and 35 had been diagnosed postnatally. Eighteen of the mothers had received the diagnosis in a pediatric clinic, and 16 had been told of the diagnosis in an obstetric clinic. More than half the mothers had received the first information about their child's diagnosis from a pediatrician. Only five of the 43 mothers had received detailed information. Twenty-three of 32 mothers said that they were met with a negative attitude. Generally, the time put aside to inform the families about the diagnosis was less than 5 min. Conclusions. Mothers of DS children want more information about DS from healthcare professionals. Furthermore, they want this information to be delivered in a supportive and sensitive manner. Healthcare professionals, especially pediatricians need to allocate sufficient time to discuss DS and its challenges with the family.Öğe Papulopustular eruption following diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011) Sasmaz, Sezai; Sener, Serpil; Garipardic, Mesut; Dogan, Derya G.[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Prolonged jaundice in newborns is associated with low antioxidant capacity in breast milk(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010) Uras, Nurdan; Tonbul, Alpaslan; Karadag, Ahmet; Dogan, Derya G.; Erel, Ozcan; Tatli, Mustafa M.In breastfeeding newborns who are otherwise healthy, the mechanism of prolonged jaundice remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate relations between prolonged jaundice and oxidative parameters in breast milk. Full-term, otherwise healthy newborns with jaundice lasting more than 2 weeks were enrolled prospectively in the study. As a control group, newborns in the same age group but without prolonged jaundice were selected. All newborns in the study were exclusively breastfed. In the newborns with prolonged jaundice, investigations of the etiology of the jaundice included complete blood count, peripheral blood smear, blood typing, direct Coombs test, measurement of serum levels of total and direct bilirubin, tests for liver and thyroid function (TSH, free T4, total T4), urine culture and measurement of urine reducing substances, and determination of glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme levels. Breast milk was collected from the mothers of the newborns in both groups. The antioxidant status of the breast milk was assessed via determination of total antioxidant capacity (TAG). Oxidative stress was also assessed in breast milk by measurement of total oxidation status (TOS) and calculation of the oxidative stress index (OSI). The prolonged jaundice group differed significantly from the control group in terms of mean TAG and OSI (p < 0.001), but not in terms of TOS. In conclusion, in the breast milk of mothers of newborns with prolonged jaundice, oxidative stress was found to be increased, and protective antioxidant capacity was found to be decreased.
