Bu çalışmada otizm spektrum bozukluğu (OSB) tanılı çocukların ebeveynlerinde yaşam kalitesi, kaygı, depresyon riski ve ilişkili faktörler araştırıldı. Çalışmaya OSB tanılı 182 çocuk ve ebeveyni dahil edildi. Ebeveynler tarafından Otizmde Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği-Ebeveyn Formu (OYKA-E) ve Hastane Anksiyete ve Depresyon Ölçeği (HADÖ) dolduruldu. Çalışmacı tarafından Çocukluk Otizmi Derecelendirme Ölçeği (ÇODÖ) uygulandı. Çocukların %85,2’si erkek (n=155), tüm çocukların ortanca yaş değeri 8 (2-13) bulundu. Çalışmaya katılan ebeveynlerin % 79,1’i (n=144) annelerdi. OYKA-E Bölüm A ortanca değeri 84,00 (39-140), Bölüm B ortanca değeri 55,00 (20-95) bulundu. HAD-A ölçeğinde kesme puanı üzerinde yanıt oranı %59,3, HAD-D ölçeğinde %68,1 idi. ÇODÖ’nün OYKA-E Bölüm A (r=-0,201; p=0,006) ve Bölüm B (r=-0,486; p

Mothers constituted 79.1% (n=144) of the parents participating in the study. The median value of QOLA-P Part A was 84.00 (39-140), and the median value of of Part B was 55.00 (20-95). The response rate above the cut-off point on the HAD-A scale was 59.3% and 68.1% on the HAD-D scale. There was a negative correlation between the CARS and the QOLA-P Part A (r=-0.201;p=0.006) and Part B (r=-0.486; p
