    Purpose: This study aimed to assess the psychomotor development of inpatient children in the pediatrics clinic and referring the children who have problems. Materials and Methods: Four hundred twenty children between 4-72 months at inpatient unit of the department of Pediatrics at Konya State Research hospital were included in the present study. A child development specialist who was unaware of the history and neurological examination of the cases administered Denver developmental screening test (DDST) II to all children once. Children who were found to be abnormal or questionable were further evaluated by the child and adolescent psychiatrist. Results: Three hundred forty five (82%) were found to be 'normal', 12 (2.8%) were found to be 'questionable' and 64 (15.2%) cases were found to be 'abnormal' with regard to DDST II. Post evaluation of questionable and abnormal cases by the child and adolescent psychiatrist, 26 cases were referred to special education institutions with the diagnosis of global developmental delay and 2 cases with the diagnosis of pervasive developmental disorder. Conclusion: It is important to apply screening tests for developmental evaluation to each child at inpatient pediatric clinics in order to diagnose developmental delays earlier.

    (2016) Kutuk, Meryem Ozlem; Durmus, Emine; Gokcen, Cem; Toros, Fevziye; Guler, Gulen; Evegu, Erkan; 0000-0002-2918-7871; AAI-9626-2021
    Objective: In the present study, the aim was to evaluate the beliefs and attitudes of school counselors about mental illnesses, and reasons why counselors referred students to psychiatrists. Method: The study was carried out with 118 school counselors. Data were collected with sociodemographic information form and Beliefs toward Mental Illness Scale (BMIS). Results: According to study results, 15.3% of school counselors stated that they referred to a psychiatrist for their own psychological problems at some time, and 32% of subjects referred their own children to a child and adolescent psychiatrist. The proportion of teachers who referred their students to a child and adolescent psychiatrist was 89.8%. Scores of school counselors were 80.41 +/- 9.32 in overall BMIS, 28.82 +/- 5.35 in dangerousness, 43.83 +/- 4.93 in poor social and interpersonal skills, and 7.76 +/- 1.81 points in incurability subscales. No statistically significant relationship was determined between mean scores of participants and gender, age, marital status, institution where they work, working duration, and graduate program they attended. The four most frequent student referral causes were conduct disorder (31.10%), attention deficit (16.10%), depressive mood (14.72%) and hyperactivity (12.20%). Conclusion: It is noticed that school counselors have negative beliefs about mental disorders, feel shame because of them, and they regard these patients dangerous. On the other hand, participants believe that these disorders lead to despair in individuals and impair interpersonal communication. According to the literature search, this study is the first investigating beliefs and attitudes of school counselors about mental illnesses, and reasons why they refer students to psychiatrists.
