Özet
Early puberty signs lead to an increase in anxiety levels of parents and children. The aim of this study was to investigate the
quality of life and anxiety levels of girls and their mothers who were admitted to a pediatric endocrinology clinic with concerns about early puberty. Girls and their mothers who were admitted to endocrinology outpatient clinic with concerns about
early puberty were compared to healthy control group. Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED)
parent form, Quality of Life for Children Scale (PedsQL) parent form, and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were administered
to the mothers. Children were evaluated with the Schedule for Afective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children
(Kiddie-SADS Lifetime Version) (K-SADS-PL). The study sample consisted of 92 girls and 62 of them were administered
to clinic with concerns about early puberty. There were 30 girls in early puberty group (group 1), 32 girls were in the normal
development group (group 2), and 30 were in the healthy control group (group 3). The anxiety level of group 1 and group
2 was signifcantly higher, and their quality of life was signifcantly lower when compared to group 3 (p<0.001). Mother’s
anxiety level was found signifcantly higher in group 2 (p<0.001). It has shown that anxiety level and quality of life of
children were associated with anxiety level of mothers and the current Tanner stage (r=0.302, p<0.005).
Conclusion: Mothers and children who have concerns about early puberty are negatively afected when early puberty is a
possibility. For this reason, educating parents will prevent negative impacts of this situation on children. At the same time,
it will decrease health burden.
