Depression in children with cancer.

In this study, children with cancer and healthy students between the ages of 9 and 13 were investigated in terms of depression status. A demographic data form and the Children's Depression Inventory were given to both groups. The research group consisted of 50 children with cancer who were followed up in pediatric hematology and oncology outpatient clinics at Ankara University. The control group was comprised of 50 healthy students who attended Türközü Timur Primary School. It was found that there were significant differences between depression scores of children with cancer and children that are healthy. Children with cancer have higher depression scores than healthy students.

Self-esteem in adolescence: a comparison of adolescents with diabetes mellitus and leukemia.

This descriptive study examined the self-esteem of adolescents with diabetes mellitus and leukemia. Participants included 22 adolescents with diabetes mellitus and 33 with leukemia. No significant difference was found between the self-esteem of males and females in either group. After the initial diagnosis, over time a decrease in self-esteem in the leukemia group and an increase in self-esteem in the diabetes mellitus group were observed. The adolescents with leukemia who experienced a relapse had moderate self-esteem. Most of the adolescents with leukemia could not attend school because of their illness. The mean scores of self-esteem were high in the diabetes mellitus group and moderate in the leukemia group. In both groups, the mean scores of self-esteem were compared to depressive affect, daydreaming, psychosomatic symptoms, intensity of discussion, and parental interest (subscales in the Rosenberg self-esteem scale). No significant difference was found between the two disease groups. There was a strong and significant correlation between self-esteem and depressive affect in both groups.
