Çocuklar için özel gereksinim raporunda fiziksel tıp ve rehabilitasyon hekiminin rolü

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of cases who have applied to a research and training hospital for special needs reports for children. Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed on the medical records of children and adolescents aged 0 to 18 who applied to the Medical Board of the Şanlurfa Mehmet Akif İnan Training and Research Hospital and underwent psychiatric evaluations between June 2022 and December 2022. Results: The research covered 600 cases, of whom 39% (n=234) were female and 61% (n=366) were male, and the mean age at the time that patients applied to the child psychiatry outpatient clinic was 7.87±4.43. When the child psychiatry diagnoses in the special needs reports were examined, it was found that 78% of the cases (n=468) had at least one psychiatric diagnosis, and 86.3% (n=518) of all patients had no previous psychiatric drug use. The most common psychiatric disorder was Borderline Intellectual Functioning (n=110), followed by Specific Learning Disorder (n=64). Autism Spectrum Disorder was more common in boys whereas Severe Intellectual Disability was significantly more common in girls. There was no significant difference between the 3 different age groups in terms of the frequency of Mild Intellectual Disability, Severe Intellectual Disability, and Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnoses. Conclusion: Psychiatrists and other medical professionals can greatly benefit from knowing the characteristics of children and adolescents who apply to the medical boards for special needs reports in various parts of Turkey. To fully address this matter, further research with larger numbers of samples from various centers are required

Objective: Following the enactment of the Special Needs Report for Children (SNRC) regulation on February 20, 2019, several changes were made to the reporting system. The field of child psychiatry is among the leading specialties issuing SNRC reports. This study aimed to evaluate the psychiatric and other medical diagnoses of cases referred to pediatric and adolescent psychiatry for SNRC, determine their level of needs, and discuss the new regulation in the context of existing literature. Material and Methods: Demographic and clinical characteristics, as well as levels of needs and relevant areas, were retrospectively analyzed for cases aged 0-18 who presented to a university hospital's pediatric and adolescent psychiatry clinic between January 2021 and January 2024. Results: A total of 986 children and adolescents, comprising 331 (33.6%) females and 655 (66.4%) males, with a mean age of 10.27±3.77 years, were included in the study. The most common reason for SNRC referral in the 0-4 age group was speech delay (n=32, 45.1%) while learning difficulties were predominant in other age groups. Analysis of psychiatric diagnoses under SNRC revealed delayed milestone diagnosis as the most common at 45.7% (n=451), followed by specific learning disorder (n=312, 31.6%) and autism spectrum disorder (n=154, 15.6%). Non-psychiatric diagnoses showed that 28.8% (n=284) of cases had at least one accompanying medical disease, including cerebral palsy (n=65, 6.5%), sensorineural hearing loss (n=47, 4.8%), epilepsy (n=37, 3.8%), and Down syndrome (n=21, 2.1%). Additionally, 20% (n=198) of cases exhibited special needs in at least one non-psychiatric area, with motor development being the most common domain (n=125, 63.1%). Conclusion: These findings highlight the diversity of needs among children and adolescents receiving SNRC reports. Accurate evaluation and reporting of special needs in child and adolescent psychiatry are crucial for enhancing individuals' quality of life and providing necessary support.
