    The Relationship Between Caregiver Burden and Resilience and Quality of Life in a Turkish Pediatric Rehabilitation Facility
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2020) KARADAĞ SAYGI, NAİME EVRİM; Kenis-Coskun, Ozge; Atabay, Cem Etken; Sekeroglu, Aynur; Akdeniz, Esranur; Kasil, Batuhan; Bozkurt, Gizem; Karadag-Saygi, Evrim
    Purpose: To investigate the effect of caregiver burden, resilience, and quality of life of the parents of patients who are followed-up in a tertiary pediatric rehabilitation clinic. Design and methods: This is a correlational cross-sectional study. Parents of patients who attend to utilize pediatric rehabilitation outpatient clinics of a tertiary center on a regular basis were invited to participate. All participants filled in the Zarit Caregiver Burden (ZCB) scale, Family Resilience scale (FRS) and Nottingham Health Profile (NHP). Results: A total of 107 patient and caregiver dyads were included. Fifty-five (51%) patients had cerebral palsy, 10 (9%) had spina bifida and 42 (39%) had other neurodevelopmental disorders. Eighty-one (75%) of the caregivers were mothers. There was a significant difference in the caregiver burden between ambulatory children (Mean ZCB score 30.11 +/- 13.56) and non-ambulatory patients (Mean ZCB score 37.22 +/- 13.91) (p = .01). There were moderate negative correlations between caregiver burden and FRS commitment to life and FRS self-sufficiency subscales. Caregiver burden significantly positively correlated with all NHP domains. Conclusions: Caregiver burden is significantly higher in parents of non-ambulatory children when compared to ambulatory children in the pediatric rehabilitation setting. Caregiver burden and resilience correlated on moderate levels, but the factors influencing them are still unclear. Practice implications: Healthcare and social support should be given to all caregivers in pediatric rehabilitation setting, but more so to the caregivers of non-ambulatory patients.

    Comparison of Conventional Pulmonary Rehabilitation and High-Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation In Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia
    (WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2014) KARADAĞ, BÜLENT TANER; Gokdemir, Yasemin; Karadag-Saygi, Evrim; Erdem, Ela; Bayindir, Ozun; Ersu, Refika; Karadag, Bulent; Sekban, Nimet; Akyuz, Gulseren; Karakoc, Fazilet
    BackgroundEnhancement of mucociliary clearance by pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is advocated in primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). Our primary aim was to compare the efficacy and safety of postural drainage, percussion and vibration [conventional PR (CPR)], and high frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) by studying change in pulmonary function. Our secondary aim was to evaluate patient preferences regarding the two methods. MethodsThis was a controlled randomized crossover study. PCD patients between the ages of 7 and 18 years were assigned to two groups, first group performed airway clearance with CPR at hospital for 5 days and after a 2-day washout period HFCWO was applied to the same group at home. HFCWO was applied first to the other group and then these patients were hospitalized for CPR. The primary outcome measure of the study was pulmonary function test (PFT). The secondary outcomes were pulse arterial oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) and the perceived efficiency and comfort level. ResultsPFT values of patients increased significantly after both PR methods (before/after): CPR: FVC: 77.014.1/81.8 +/- 13.0 (P=0.002); FEV1: 72.9 +/- 14.8/78.7 +/- 13.5 (P=0.001); PEF: 73.8 +/- 14.5/82.5 +/- 14.5 (P=0.001); FEF25-75: 68.6 +/- 27.6/74.9 +/- 29.3 (P=0.007). HFCWO: FVC: 75.1 +/- 15.3/80.3 +/- 13.9 (P=0.002); FEV1: 71.4 +/- 16/77.4 +/- 14.6 (P=0.001); PEF: 70.9 +/- 18.0/78.3 +/- 17.7 (P=0.002); FEF25-75: 70.5 +/- 23.4/76.4 +/- 25.6 (P=0.006). There were no significant differences in % predicted FVC, FEV1, PEF, and FEF25-75 increased values with CPR and HFCWO. HFCWO was found more comfortable (P=0.04). Two PR methods were found efficient and no desaturation occurred during PR. ConclusionsPFTs were significantly increased after both PR methods. There were no differences in PFTs and SpO(2) between the CPR and HFCWO groups. Both PR methods were found efficient. HFCWO was found more comfortable. HFCWO may be an option in patients with chronic pulmonary disease and low adherence to PR. Pediatr Pulmonol. 2014; 49:611-616. (c) 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Pros and cons of botulinum toxin injection therapy in cerebral palsy: A qualitative study exploring caregivers' perspective
    (WILEY) AKGÜLLE, AHMET HAMDİ; Karadag-Saygi, Evrim; Kenis-Coskun, Ozge; Unalan, Pemra C.; Evkaya-Acar, Ayca; Giray, Esra; Akgulle, Ahmet Hamdi
    Background To describe and understand the experiences and beliefs of caregivers of children with cerebral palsy following botulinum toxin injection. Methods A descriptive case study approach with focus group interviews was employed. A semi-structured questionnaire was conducted to collect data. Twenty-one caregivers of children (3-13 years old) with cerebral palsy were recruited with a maximum variation sampling strategy to gain insight through different perspectives. Qualitative analysis with verbatim transcripts was analysed using a thematic approach. Findings Four themes emerged from qualitative analyses: acceptance of diagnosis, perceptions about treatment, caregivers' experiences with the health environment, and feelings and thoughts after the treatment. Conclusions This study highlights caregivers' requests for information about the possible long-term effect of botulinum toxin, as well as information and support to provide the best rehabilitation programme immediately after injection.

    The clinical effects of combining postural exercises with chest physiotherapy in cystic fibrosis: A single-blind, randomized-controlled trial
    (BAYCINAR MEDICAL PUBL-BAYCINAR TIBBI YAYINCILIK, 2021) KARADAĞ SAYGI, NAİME EVRİM; Gungor, Sabiha; Gencer-Atalay, Kardelen; Bahar-Ozdemir, Yeliz; Kenis-Coskun, Ozge; Karadag-Saygi, Evrim
    Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effects of postural exercises as an adjunct to chest physiotherapy program on respiratory function, exercise tolerance, quality of life (QoL), and postural stability in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Patients and methods: In this single-blind, randomized-controlled trial, 19 pediatric CF patients (11 males, 8 females; mean age:9.36 years; range, 6 to 14 years) were randomly allocated to chest physiotherapy and postural exercise program (Group 1, n=10) or chest physiotherapy program alone (Group 2, n=9) between March 2017 and October 2017. Respiratory functions were assessed with pulmonary function tests, whereas exercise tolerance with the Modified Shuttle Test (MST), quality of life with the Cystic Fibrosis Questionnaire-Revised Child Version (CFQR), and postural stability with the Limits of Stability Test (LOS). All tests were performed before treatment and six weeks, three months, and six months after treatment. Results: Respiratory functions were improved in both groups; however, these changes were not statistically significant. The MST increased after treatment in both groups (p<0.001 and p=0.003 respectively), without a significant difference between the groups. Emotional function and treatment difficulties subdomains in CFQR were significantly increased only in the group with postural exercises (p<0.05). Conclusion: The postural exercise program in addition to chest physiotherapy in pediatric CF patients whose postural changes were not taken place did not cause significant changes in respiratory function, exercise tolerance, and postural stability; however, it affected the emotional state well and improved the compliance with the treatment.
