    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Bolat, Nurullah; Eliacik, Kayi; Yavuz, Mesut; Kanik, Ali; Mertek, Hilal; Guven, Baris; Dogrusoz, Buket
    OBJECTIVES: Psychological factors may be the underlying causes in unexplained chest pain (UCP). Chest pain symptom may influence the emotional status and peer relationships of the children and adolescents negatively. However, the number of studies focussing on the aetiology and consequences of the adolescent UCP are still limited. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships among psychological problems, attachment characteristics, and the UCP in a group of adolescents. METHODS: Seventy-three adolescents with UCP and seventy-one healthy adolescents were included in the study. The adolescents completed the short form of Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (s-IPPA), and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), while their parents completed the parental form of the SDQ. RESULTS: Contrary to expectations, there was no significant interaction between total parental attachment levels and UCP in the adolescents with UCP. There were significant correlations between the attachment problems and total difficulties score of SDQ. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that higher emotional and conduct problems and lower pro-social characteristics predict the UCP in adolescents, significantly. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggested that emotional/behavioural problems and lower pro-social behaviour scores are associated with UCP. However, further studies are needed for better understanding about the relationships between the UCP and attachment quality.

    (Wiley, 2020) Eliacik, Kayi; Bolat, Nurullah; Kanik, Ali; Malas, Nasuh; Demircan, Tulay; Hortu, Hacer; Ozyurt, Gonca
    Aim Chest pain is common in adolescence, but there are no established criteria for managing this problem, which is rarely associated with cardiac disease. This study addressed the gaps in the literature by evaluating psychosocial factors that could be associated with medically unexplained chest pain. Methods We consecutively selected 100 patients (68% girls) aged 13-18 who were diagnosed with unexplained chest pain when they presented to the cardiology outpatient clinics of Tepecik Research Hospital, Izmir, Turkey, between 30 September 2015 and 30 June 2018. The controls were 76 age- and sex-matched adolescents (69% girls) aged 13-18 who were undergoing routine cardiology assessments before joining sports clubs. We assessed their health-related quality of life and any depression and physical symptoms. Results Regression analysis showed some adolescents were a number of times more likely to report chest pain. These included those who reported boredom (4.1 times), felt stressed or anxious (2.2) and those who experienced sleep disturbance (2.6), co-morbid headaches (2.0), back pain (3.1) and impaired social functioning (1.2). Conclusion The results indicated a significant association between unexplained chest pain and physical symptoms, depression and impaired emotional and social functioning. These factors warrant further evaluation.

    (Dr Behcet Uz Cocuk Hastaliklari Ve Cerrahisi, 2018) Ozbeyler, Omer; Eliacik, Kayi; Uzum, Ozlem; Kanik, Ali; Cagan Appak, Yeliz; Karakoyun, Miray; Orbatu, Dilek
    Objective: It was aimed to evaluate the relationship between eating habits and reflux by investigating eating habits in adolescent patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease, and also to assess the interplay between gastroesophageal reflux disease and anxiety. Methods: We included patients between the ages of 12 and 18 diagnosed as gastroesophageal reflux disease in the pediatric gastroenterology outpatient clinic but who had not yet been treated. The control group consisted of age matched adolescents who applied for upper respiratory tract infection. The relationship between eating habits and reflux was assessed with Adolescent Nutrition Checklist, and relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease and anxiety was assessed with Anxiety Disorder Screening Questionnaire. Results: Seventy adolescents with reflux disease and 67 adolescents as the control group were included in the study. There was no significant difference between the groups regarding the eating habits and anxiety scores. However, it was seen that most of the patients in both groups. had poor eating habits and higher general anxiety score. Conclusion: No relation was found between the gastroesophageal reflux disease, anxiety and eating habits in adolescents. These results suggested that reflux disease should be separated from other gastrointestinal complaints such as abdominal pain which may be psychosomatic. However, there was a quantitative increment in poor eating habits in those with gastroesophageal reflux disease. For this reason there is a need for further studies which investigate the eating habits with a larger sample size of this population.

    Bodily sensations and quality of life in adolescents with non-cardiac chest pain: a comparative study for the undetermined part of a frequent health problem
    (Edizioni Minerva Medica, 2024) Demirçelik, Yavuz; Üzüm, Özlem; Eliaçik, Kayı; Kanik, Ali; Bolat, Nurullah; Elmali, Ferhan; Demircan, Tülay
    BACKGROUND: Chest pain in adolescents represents a considerable burden for health services and is rarely associated with cardiac disease. Since chest pain could be related to psychosocial factors there is a need for exploring the relationships among stressful situations, drug consumption, suicidal behaviors, accompanying bodily symptoms and health-related quality of life in adolescents with non-cardiac chest pain. MetHOds: in this study, we assessed these determinants in 108 adolescents with non-cardiac chest pain (NccP) and a control group of 77 patients using a structured interview applied to the patients presented to the cardiology outpatient clinics of Tepecik Training and Research Hospital, İzmir, Türkiye, between 30 October 2018 and 30 June 2019. After the interview, the adolescents were given a self-administered pediatric quality of life inventory and the body sensations questionnaire for assessing aspects of fear. resULts: adolescents with NccP expressed more panic associated bodily symptoms and reported worse subjective physical, academic, and emotional functioning in addition to more suicidal ideation. CONCLUSIONS: NCCP could be accepted as a warning sign of an underlying psychosocial problem and requires a more interdisciplinary collaborative care by pediatricians, psychologists, and psychiatrists. © 2021 ediZiONi MiNerVa Medica.
