    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016) Ayaz, Ayse Burcu; Ayaz, Muhammed; Senturk, Ekrem; Soylu, Nusret; Yuksel, Serhat; Yulaf, Yasemin
    The aim of the present study was to investigate the factors associated with unintentional injury in children newly diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). One thousand four hundred and thirty children between the ages of 6 and 18 who were diagnosed with ADHD for the first time in child psychiatry outpatient clinics were included in the present study. The socio-demographic information of the children, their developmental histories, chronic physical health conditions, comorbid psychiatric disorders, and information obtained via the Turgay DSM-IV-based Child and Adolescent Disorders Screening and Rating Scale were examined retrospectively. It was determined that 12.8% of the children (n = 183) experienced unintentional injury. It was established that age, male gender, disruptive behavioural problems, and low education levels among mothers were predictive of unintentional injuries. The results of the present study suggest that behavioural problems accompanying ADHD and comorbid psychiatric disorders are important in terms of unintentional injuries.

    (2020) Cag, Yakup; Yulaf, Yasemin; Gumustas, Funda
    Aim: The main objective of our study is to assess the socioeconomic, prenatal, neonatal and developmental properties of asthma cases who presented to child and adolescent psychiatry clinic and to compare psychiatric diagnosis frequency in terms of age and gender groups.Material and Methods: Patient files of 194 children and adolescents with asthma who admitted to our hospital child and adolescent psychiatry outpatient clinic. were retrospectively reviewed. Patients' age, gender, parent education level and job status, mother's pregnancy history, delivery history, developmental stages and psychiatric diagnoses based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders- Fifth Edition (DSM-5) are noted. Results: Majority of parents of asthma patients had a primary school education and 21% of mothers were working full time. About 14% of mothers reported smoking during pregnancy and 19% of children had delayed speech. In males and children with primary school age, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was frequent whereas female cases showed a higher rate of anxiety disorders.Conclusion: The prevalence of psychiatric disorders, especially ADHD and anxiety disorders, is high in children and adolescents with asthma. The presence of difficulties in terms of sociocultural, prenatal, neonatal and developmental characteristics may increase the need to apply to the psychiatry outpatient clinics.

    (W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2016) Guler, Aysegul Selcen; do Rosario, Maria Conceicao; Ayaz, Ayse Burcu; Gokce, Sebla; Yulaf, Yasemin; Basgul, Senem; Ozcan, Ozlem
    Background: Dimensional Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (DY-BOCS) is a promising scale for assessing frequency and severity of symptom dimensions. The main objective of the study was to assess the psychometric properties of the DY-BOCS in a large sample of children and adolescents from Turkey. Methods: We studied 143 children and adolescents, 7-18 years, with well characterized DSM-IV-R OCD, ascertained from seven collaborating university or state hospital sites. We compared the DY-BOCS scores with the Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (CY-BOCS), the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI), the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) and the Child Behavior Checklist 6-18 years (CBCL 6-18). Results: The internal consistency of the DY-BOCS symptom dimensions and inter-rater agreement of component scores were excellent. The agreement between global DY-BOCS score and the total CY-BOCS score was highly significant (Pearson's r = 0.55, p < 0.0001). Severity scores for individual symptom dimensions were independent of one another, only modestly correlating with the global ratings, and were also differentially related to ratings of depression, anxiety and tic severity. Conclusion: The DY-BOCS is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing multiple aspects of OCD symptom severity in children and adolescents from Turkey. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
