These questions were posed to mothers of children with asthma and/or allergic rhinitis who were followed at least three months in pediatric allergy outpatient clinic. The data were recorded in SPSS for Windows v.16. Descriptive statistics, chi square, and logistic regression analysis were used. p< 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: The study included 177 patients. The complementary and alternative medicine methods were suggested to 136 (77%) patients and 68 (38.4%) patients used these methods anytime. 34 (43%) patients with asthma, 25 (39.7%) patients with asthma and allergic rhinitis, 9 (25.7%) patients with allergic rhinitis used complementary and alternative medicine.

Herbal medicines were the %67 of complementary and alternative medicine methods. The diagnosis, education levels of parents, the family income, positivity of skin prick test, severity of the asthma and allergic rhinitis, control of the disease, using multiple drugs, using inhaled steroids were not different between the groups (p> 0.05).

FuatObjective: The mothers of children diagnosed with atopic dermatitis (AD) may be impacted in many different ways. Aim of the present study was to compare quality of life, anxiety, depression, and alexithymia symptoms between mothers of children diagnosed with AD and mothers of healthy children. Method: The study included 34 mothers of children who were diagnosed with AD between June 2012 and July 2013 and 35 mothers of healthy children. In the study, Short Form 36 (SF-36) Health Survey was used to evaluate quality of life, while the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS) was used to evaluate alexithymia level, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was used to evaluate anxiety symptoms, and the Beck Depression Scale (BDS) was used to evaluate depression symptoms. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the mothers of AD patients and control subjects in terms of quality of life, anxiety, depression, and alexithymia. In addition, there was no significant difference in disease severity or symptoms scale scores between the two groups. Conclusion: These results may suggest that mothers' mental health is not affected in the early stage of the disease. In later stages of the disease, mothers of children with AD may become psychologically affected. Longterm follow up studies are required to clarify this distinction.Öğe The use of complementary and alternative medicine in children with atopic dermatitis(Bilimsel Tip Yayinevi, 2013) Tuncel, Tuba; Karabel, Musemma; Cetemen, Aysen; Kelekci, Selvi; Sen, Velat; Gurkan, M.
