A Cross-sectional Study Evaluating Childhood Autism Awareness of Residents Otorhinolaryngology Department in İstanbul
Öz: Introduction: Otorhinolaryngology (ENT) physicians may beeffective in the early diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder(ASD). The aim of this study was to investigate the awareness ofENT residents in İstanbul about recognizing ASD.Methods: The type of the study was cross-sectional. The studypopulation consisted of 97 ENT residents, and 83 (85%) ofthese residents were included in the study. The questionnaireconsisted of questions about the sociodemographic data ofthe participants and Autism Spectrum Disorder AwarenessQuestionnaire. Autism Spectrum Disorder AwarenessQuestionnaire contains the findings of ASD reported in theliterature. This questionnaire includes observable findings ofpossible ASD in a child during routine examination of the ENTphysician.Results: In our study, the most known finding of childhoodautism was found to be difficulty in making eye contact (97.5%).Regarding work experience, “difficulty in making eye contact”(100%) and “lack of age-appropriate language development”(91.5%) findings were well-known findings among residentswith less than four years of experience. On the other hand,“very sensitive vision, hearing and touch senses” (95.8%) and“seem unable to hear even if hearing tests are normal” (91.7%)findings were more prominent among residents with four ormore years of experience.Conclusion: The ASD awareness of the ENT residentsparticipating in our study can be considered as relatively good.The “Autism Spectrum Disorder Awareness Questionnaire”developed by the researchers is planned to be validated withthe studies to be carried out later and developed to be used forENT specialists. Such questionnaires can also be used to raiseawareness among ENT residents and specialists.

İstanbul’da Kulak Burun Boğaz Bölümü Asistanlarının Çocukluk Çağı Otizm Farkındalıklarını Değerlendiren Kesitsel Bir Çalışma
Öz: Amaç: Kulak burun boğaz (KBB) hekimleri, otizm spektrum bozukluğunun (OSB) erken tanısında etkin olabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, İstanbul’daki KBB asistan hekimlerinin OSB’yi tanıma konusundaki farkındalıklarını araştırmaktır. Yöntemler: Araştırmanın tipi kesitseldir. Çalışma evrenini KBB uzmanlık alanında çalışan ve uzmanlık eğitimi alan 97 asistan oluşturmaktadır ve bu asistanların 83’ü (%85) çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Soru formu katılımcıların sosyodemografik bilgilerini sorgulayan sorular ve “Otizm Spektrum Bozukluğu Farkındalık Anketi”nden oluşmaktadır. Otizm Spektrum Bozukluğu Farkındalık Anketi literatürde bildirilen OSB bulgularını içermektedir. Söz konusu anket KBB hekiminin rutin muayenesinde, bir çocukta olası OSB’nin gözleme dayalı olarak fark edilebilecek bulgularını sorgulamaktadır. Bulgular: Çalışmamızda çocukluk çağı otizminin en bilinen bulgusu, göz teması kurmada zorluk çekme olarak bulunmuştur (%97,5). Hekimlik yapılan süreye göre katılımcıların OSB bulgularını doğru yanıtlama durumları incelendiğinde, dört yıldan az kıdemi olan asistanların iyi bildiği bulgular arasında “göz teması kurmada güçlük çekme” (%100) ve “yaşına uygun dil gelişiminin geride olması” (%91,5), dört yıl ve daha fazla kıdeme sahip asistanlar arasında ise “görme, işitme ve dokunma duyularının çok hassas olması” (%95,8) ve “işitme testleri normal olsa bile duymuyormuş gibi gözükebilme” (%91,7) bulguları öne çıkmaktadır. Sonuç: Çalışmamıza katılan KBB asistanlarının OSB farkındalığı göreceli olarak iyi düzeyde kabul edilebilir. Araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen “Otizm Spektrum Bozukluğu Farkındalık Anketi”nin daha sonra gerçekleştirilecek çalışmalar ile valide edilmesi ve KBB uzmanları için de kullanılabilecek şekilde geliştirilmesi düşünülmektedir. Bu tür anketler, KBB asistanları ve uzmanları arasındaki farkındalığı artırmak için de kullanılabilir.
