Parents' Mental and Emotional Disorders and Psychosocial Problems in Children at Public Elementary School 1 Kucur

The psychosocial challenges faced by children may not always correspond with the emotional disorders exhibited by their parents. A robust support system from their social network can significantly contribute to the enhancement of their mental well-being. This study aims to investigate the relationship between parental emotional disorders and psychosocial issues in school-aged children. The research utilizes a descriptive correlational approach with a cross-sectional design, involving 165 students aged 6 to 12 from Public Elementary School 1 Kucur who are currently enrolled in school, along with one consenting parent, resulting in 330 respondents. The Self-Reporting Questionnaire-29 (SRQ-29) is used to identify parental emotional issues, while the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) assesses children's psychosocial problems. An analysis employing Somers' D Gamma was conducted to ascertain the correlation between parental mental-emotional disorders and children's psychological well-being. The findings reveal that the highest average score for parental mental-emotional disorders stands at 82.4%. In comparison, the highest average score for total difficulties in children's psychosocial issues is 58.8%, while the highest average prosocial score is 92.7%. The statistical analysis reveals no significant connection between parental emotional disorders and children's psychosocial problems on the prosocial scale (p=0.897) and total difficulties score (p=0.897). In conclusion, the findings of this research do not establish a direct link due to the numerous factors influencing children's psychosocial challenges.

(213) Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome: A Systematic Review Regarding Anxiety and Depression

Abstract Introduction Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) is a urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome with an unknown etiology and a variety of somatic and psychological symptoms, including elevated levels of anxiety and depression (Crawford, 2019). This often causes substantial impairment to quality of life: it is well known that unaddressed psychosocial elements of chronic pain can shape patient perceptions and behavior, and are associated with poorer functioning, adjustment, prognosis, and response to treatment (Piontek et al., 2022). Investigating the role of psychosocial factors in IC/BPS increase over the last years; however, prior to the last 5 years, there had been a scarcity of research on psychosocial factors compared to that in similar conditions (Windgassen et al., 2020). Objective Despite recommendations for the inclusion of non-pharmacological treatment in the management of IC/BPS, the focus so far has predominantly been on the inclusion of physical therapies with minimal discussion of psychological interventions. Therefore, this review aimed to examine the most recent studies regarding anxiety and depression in patients with IC/BPS, to stress the urgency of considering multidisciplinary care for individuals with this debilitating condition. Methods A literature search (PubMed and Google Scholar) of the past 5 years (January 2018 – March 2023) was conducted using key words related to IC/BPS, anxiety and depression, e.g., “(Interstitial cystitis OR Bladder pain syndrome) AND (Anxiety OR Depression OR Depressive disorder OR Psychology)”. The inclusion criteria were: to be empirical studies, to have been published within the last 5 years, to have included in the protocol measurements of anxiety and/or depression. A total of 28 studies were selected. Results There is a high rate of psychosocial comorbidities in IC/BPS; in particular, elevated levels of anxiety and depression, which are highly correlated with each other and with pain intensity. In addition, pain catastrophizing and helplessness seem to have a key role in the maintenance of the negative relationship between depression and pain over time in IC/BPS. Thus, there appears to be a complex interaction between psychopathologic and somatic symptoms. We assume that changes in mood and anxiety share a bidirectional relationship with IC/BPS pain severity: if pain increases, mood and anxiety likely worsen and, similarly, if mood and anxiety worsen it predicts an increased level of pain will follow. Conclusions IC/BPS is a complex condition that requires a management plan beyond the biomedical approach. Indeed, the psychological impact of IC/BPS is pervasive and severe. Our review supports the findings of previous studies that showed patients with this condition have a significantly higher risk of experiencing mental-emotional disorders compared to those without. These findings further strengthen the evidence base showing that anxiety and depression may not only be a consequence of this chronic pain condition but may also be involved in its maintenance. Our results suggest that it is crucial addressing anxiety and depression as early as possible in biopsychosocially oriented therapeutic interventions for patients with IC/BPS. Therefore, it is recommended that health care providers conduct a thorough assessment of this condition to identify therapeutic goals to pursue and possibly consider a multidisciplinary approach.
