Okul Çağında Erkek Çocuklarda Sünnetin Psikolojik Etkisi
Amaç: Çocuklarda ameliyat olmanın ciddi strese yol açtığına dair çok sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Biz bu çalışmada okul çağındaki erkek çocuklarda sünnetin yarattığı algılanan stres düzeyini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 9 ve 12 yaş arası toplam 1500 hasta çağrıldı. Katılımcılar sünnet olan ve olmayan olarak iki gruba bölündü. Sosyoekonomik düzey ve ikamet yeri de ayrıca değerlendirildi. Çocuklarda Algılanan Stres Düzeyi Ölçeğinin (PSS-C) Türkçe validasyonu kullanılıp, kendilerinin doldurması şartıyla sünnet olmaya bağlı stres düzeyleri değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Sünnet, çocukluk çağındaki her ameliyat için olduğu gibi travmatik bir tecrübe olarak görülmelidir. Dinsel ve kültürel değerlere rağmen, hastalar ve ebeveynleri sünnetin psikolojik etkilerinin farkında olmalı ve konu hakkında bilgilendirilmelidir. Sonuç: Bin yüz yirmi sekiz hasta anketi tamamen doldurdu. Algılanan stres düzeyi sünnetli çocuklarda anlamlı düzeyde yüksek bulundu (p
