Clinical data including psychiatric evaluations and diagnoses, developmental tests, sociodemographic forms investigating psychosocial difficulties existed in DC: 0-5, parent-infant relationship-global assessment scale (PIR-GAS) scores according to Crowell observation procedure, and psychiatric disorders and diagnoses through clinical interview based on DC: 0-5 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among 137 patients evaluated, 111 (81,0%) had psychiatric diagnoses. Fifty three (38.6%) patients were diagnosed with two comorbid psychiatric disorders and 6 patients (4.4%) were diagnosed with 3 comorbid disorders. Global developmental delay (47.4%) was the most common diagnosis among the patients. The most common psychosocial difficulties were hospitalization of the infant or young child (32.8%), non-physical quarrel or conflict between parents or caregivers (28.6%), and medical disease of the infant or young child (27.7%). While there was no significant relationship between PIR-GAS scores and the total number of psychosocial difficulties, the number of psychosocial difficulties related to education or child care was found to be negatively correlated with PIR-GAS scores after categorizing the difficulties reported (p=0.03).Conclusion:It is thought that the findings of the study may be useful for healthcare professionals and parents to develop interventions that will provide adequate support required for psychosocial stressors.Merve Çıkılı UytunAyşe Merve Güngör YükselEsra YürümezDidem Behice ÖztopGalenos Yayineviarticleinfantpsychologypsychiatrydiagnosispsychosocial factorsMedicineRPsychiatryRC435-571TRÇocuk ve Gençlik Ruh Sağlığı Dergisi, Vol 28, Iss 3, Pp 182-190 (2021)
