Introduction

Spina Bifida (SB) is a closure defect of the neural tube. Affecting multiple systems of the body, this disease also affects families psychologically.

Objectives

In this study, our aim was to investigate levels of psychiatric symptoms, depression, anxiety, despair and coping with stress in parents of children with Spina Bifida.

Methods

From the follow-up patients’ families of our hospital’s neurosurgery unit, a total number of 80 parents were included in this study. Sociodemographic data form, The Structured Clinical Interview -Clinical Version (SCID-I / CV) for DSM-IV Axis Diagnosis, Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Symptom Checklist (SCL-90-R), Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS) and Coping with Stress Scale were performed.

Results

The mean age of parents of children with Spina Bifida diagnosis was 34.44±7.00. Psychiatric symptoms and inventory scores are displayed on the table.Table 1:Clinic Inventory Scores of Cases

Conclusions

It was determined that psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety, depression, difficulty in coping with stress can be seen among parents of children with SB.
