    Objectives: In our research, we aimed to determine treatment adherence and examine socio-demographic and clinical factors that affect it in pediatric patients firstly given medical treatment for the diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Materials and Methods: Between 2018 and 2020, children and adolescents who were first diagnosed with ADHD were enrolled in our study and factors that affect treatment adherence were investigated. A data form including socio-demographic, ADHD and clinical data of patients was created. Those data were extracted by retrospective search of clinical records. Patients who continued the treatment for six or more months were accepted as adherent, those who did not continue were accepted as non-adherent. Factors affecting treatment adherence were evaluated. Results: Three hundred and thirty-eight patients were included in our research. At the end of the sixth month, adherence rate was 48.2%. The average age was higher in the non-adherent group. Between the adherent and non-adherent groups, age, psychiatric disorder and psychiatric treatment in family, time of the onset of side effects, presence of comorbid destructive behavior disorders, presence of multiple comorbid disorders, and change in academic achievement with treatment were statistically significant differences. As a result of the regression analysis, the relationship between the presence of psychiatric disorders in the family, change in the course success with treatment, time of the onset of side effects and treatment compliance remained significant in the model. Conclusion: After the diagnosis of ADHD, age, psychiatric disorder and treatment in family, time of the onset of side effects, change in course success with treatment, presence of comorbid destructive behavior disorders, and presence of multiple comorbid disorders could affect the treatment adherence. This situation should not be ignored when the treatment was started to patients. © Telif Hakkı 2022.

    Objectives: Our aim is to understand how children/adolescents diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and their parents are affected by the pandemic process. Materials and Methods: The healthy children diagnosed with ADHD and without any complaints or psychiatric disorders and the parents of the whole group were included in the study. Data were collected using the information form, the hospital anxiety depression scale (HADS), the revised child anxiety and depression scale-child version (R-CADS). The information form and HADS were filled in by the parents, and R-CADS by the children. A total of 131 people with 62 ADHD were included in the study. Results: In both groups, it was observed that screen and sleep time increased, and social and physical activity time decreased. There was no difference between the two groups in terms of anxiety and depression scores. Conclusion: The similarity of the psychological effects in the ADHD group with the general population during the pandemic may be due to they are under treatment. Although the screen time both groups increased significantly compared to the pre-pandemic period, no significant difference was found between the groups. More research on pediatric psychiatric disorders in times of pandemics is necessary. © 2023, Galenos Publishing House. All rights reserved.

    Objectives: The number of studies on mindfulness in children and adolescents has rised in recent years, and it is crucial to evaluate the mindfulness-based interventions applied with standardized measurement tools. This aim of this study was to make the Turkish language validity and reliability of the Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM), which can be used in children and adolescents about mindfulness, which has been very well-liked in recent years, and which has validity and reliability in many languages, and to bring it into our language for the ages of 9-18. Materials and Methods: The total sample of the current study consisted of 156 children and adolescents, 48 of whom were children and adolescents with any mental disorderdiagnosis according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 (DSM-5). One hundred eight of them did not have any mental disorders diagnosis according to DSM-5, who had only periodic problems or were brought for counseling. Results: In the reliability analysis of the scale, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was found to be 0.76 for the whole scale. In test-retest reliability two weeks apart, the two measurements have a strong correlation between the measurements (r=0.634 p<0.0001). Conclusion: In conclusion, our findings show that the Turkish version of the CAMM is a valid and reliable measurement tool for the 9-18 age group. © 2024, Galenos Publishing House.
