Article Ludwig's Angina in a 6-Year Child: Case Report(Wiley, 2025) Akbari, Negarin; Razavi, Ali; Sabzi, Zahra; Parhiz, JabbarLudwig's angina is a rare but potentially fatal cellulitis that affects the submandibular, sublingual, and submental spaces, typically triggered by dental infections. This case report details a severe presentation of Ludwig's angina in a 6-year-old girl who presented with submandibular swelling, fever, voice alterations, and respiratory distress. Diagnosis was based on clinical evaluation, supported by CT imaging, revealing significant airway narrowing and lymphadenopathy. The patient was promptly intubated to secure the airway, followed by emergency surgical drainage and intravenous antibiotics. Postoperative care included sedation, ongoing monitoring in the PICU, and close follow-up by multiple specialties. After a 10-day hospitalization, the patient showed significant recovery with no complications. The case underscores the importance of early diagnosis and intervention in preventing severe complications such as airway obstruction, sepsis, and mediastinal spread. It highlights the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration, including pediatric infectious disease specialists, surgeons, and anesthesiologists, in managing this life-threatening condition effectively.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 8Experiences of Hearing Parents of Children With Hearing Loss: a Qualitative Study(Mdpi, 2023) Dikec, Gul; Turk, Eda; Yuksel, Esin; Celebi, Kubra; Ozdemir, MeltemThis qualitative study was carried out with a phenomenological design to determine the life experiences of the parents of children with hearing loss. The study sample consisted of twenty parents, who did not have hearing loss, of children with hearing loss registered in a special education and rehabilitation center. The data were collected through in-depth interviews in Istanbul between December and January 2022. Colaizzi's phenomenological interpretation method was used for qualitative data analysis. It was determined that parents of children with hearing loss experienced anxiety, sadness, and happiness during diagnosis. They needed more information at first, but then they gained knowledge in the process, and it took work to accept this process. They stated that having a child with hearing loss requires more time, responsibility, and effort than other children. This situation affects their social life, and they experience interpersonal conflicts. When parents were asked how they coped, they said they did it through prayer, social support, or time to themselves. It can be recommended to apply psychosocial intervention programs to the parents of children with hearing loss, especially their mothers, from the first diagnosis process.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2The Effect of a Video-Based Covid-19 Paediatric Patient Education on State Anxiety in Children With Suspected Covid-19 Admitted To Hospital(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Sanci, Yagmur; Celik, Serap; Yildiz, SuzanBackground: Anxiety causes the long-term psychological impacts on children during the pandemic.Objective: The aim of this study is to reduce anxiety in paediatric patients and increase their adherence to treatment through a video-based COVID-19 paediatric patient education.Methods: This quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest single group was carried out in a research hospital's COVID-19 Paediatric Emergency Area in Turkey between May and August 2020. The sample consisted of 128 children aged between 4 and 12 years.Results: In the study, it was found that 50.8% of the children who came to the COVID-19 Paediatric Emergency Area due to suspicion of COVID-19 were boys and their mean age was 8.54 & PLUSMN; 2.62. 21.1% of the children were hospitalised before and 73.4% were afraid of the hospital. State stress scores of the participants before the patient education were higher in those, who didn't attend school between ages of 4-10, than those who went to school. State stress mean scores of the children from all age groups decreased significantly after the education.Conclusions: The video-based paediatric patient education decreases the children's hospital-related anxiety during the pandemic and increased their adherence to treatment.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Evaluation of Coping Mechanism of Mothers of Children With Chronic Diseases During Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic(Aves, 2024) Erkut, Zeynep; Kose, Selmin; Savaser, Sevim; Kaya, Gizem; Ogut, Nehir UluAIM: The aim of this study was to determine the problems, perceived stress, and coping with the stress of mothers of children with chronic diseases during the pandemic. METHODS: The study was conducted with cross-sectional design. The data were gathered from the mothers of children with chronic diseases who were followed up at the endocrine outpatient clinic of a hospital in Istanbul between February 1, 2021, and May 31, 2021. The data were collected by conducting face-to-face interviews with mothers of 117 children through information form, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and the Coping with Stress Scale (CSS). RESULTS: It was determined that 35.9% of the mothers stated that they had problems during the pandemic since their children suffered from chronic diseases. The mean scores of the mothers were 26.88 +/- 6.69 points for the PSS and 87.35 +/- 11.04 points for the CSS and there was a negative and weak correlation between their scale scores (r = -.190; p < .05). CONCLUSION: It was found that families faced many different problems during the pandemic, such as the treatment and control of their children. In case of extraordinary situations such as pandemics, nurses should provide planned guidance and counseling services to children with chronic diseases and their families in order to manage the negative situations they experience.Article Evaluation of Growth in Children Aged One- Two Years: a Cross- Sectional Study(Istanbul Univ, 2022) Guldemir, Hilal Hizli; Simsek, Tugce; Garipagaoglu, MuazzezObjective: The study was conducted to evaluate growth in children aged 1-2 years. Methods: In this study conducted with 302 children and their mothers, data on children and their families were obtained using a questionnaire. Z-scores were determined by measuring the weight and height of the children, and these were compared with percentile curves developed for Turkish children. Energy and macronutrient consumption were determined by taking a daily food consumption record for each child. Results: The average age, birth weight and height of children were 18.6 +/- 3.2 months, 3.2 +/- 0.5 kg and 50.0 +/- 2.3 cm, respectively. Their current weight and height were determined as 11.4 +/- 1.6 kg and 80.6 +/- 6.5 cm. It was observed that 85.6% of the children had normal body weight, 69.5% normal BMI and 56.2% normal height z score. It has been determined that body weight and height z-scores are higher in girls compared to boys (22.1%, 32.6% and 24.7% respectively in + 2SD). Body weights of children with high monthly income were also found to be significantly higher (15.6% in + 2SD, p=0.038). Conclusions: It has been concluded that the standards, gender and the economic status of the family in this age period are effective on childrens' growth.
