Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, işitsel beyinsapı implantı kullanan çocuk ve ergenlerde sosyal anksiyete düzeyini incelemek ve normal işiten yaşıtları ile karşılaştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya, 6- 18 yaş arası 15 işitsel beyinsapı implantı [auditory brainstem implant (ABI)] kullanıcısı ve 15 normal işiten çocuk olmak üzere toplam 30 çocuk dâhil edilmiştir. Araştırmanın verileri, çocuk-aile bilgi formu ve Çocuklar İçin Sosyal Anksiyete Ölçeği kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Bulgular: İşitsel beyinsapı implantı kullanıcıları ile normal işiten yaşıtlarının sosyal anksiyete skorları arasında anlamlı farklılık tespit edilmiştir (p=0,028). Bir kulağında koklear implant (Kİ), diğer kulağında ABI kullanan bimodal kullanıcılarda sosyal anksiyete skoru ABI kullanıcılarına göre daha düşük elde edilmiştir (p=0,047). Cinsiyetin (p=0,868), ailenin sosyokültürel düzeyi, okul türü (p=0,266, p=0,406), implant kullanım süresi (p=0,306) ve implantasyon yaşı (p=0,593) ile sosyal anksiyete arasında anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmemiştir. Sonuç: Beyinsapı implantı kullanıcısı, çocuklarda sosyal anksiyete düzeyinin normal işiten çocuklara göre daha yüksek olduğu gösterilmiştir. Bimodal kullanıcıların, sosyal anksiyete skorunun daha düşük olması kontralateral kulakta Kİ kullanımının kaygıyı azaltmakta önemli bir faktör olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışma, ABI kullanıcılarında sosyal anksiyeteyi değerlendiren ilk çalışmadır.

Objective: To investigate the level of social anxiety in children and adolescents with auditory brainstem implants and compare them with their normal hearing peers. Material and Methods: A total of 30 children, 15 auditory brainstem implant users and 15 normal hearing children, aged 6-18 years were included in the study. The data of the study were obtained by using the child-family information form and the Social Anxiety Scale for Children. Results: A significant difference was found between the social anxiety scores of auditory brainstem implant users and their normal hearing peers (p=0.028). Social anxiety score was lower in bimodal users who used auditory brainstem implants in one ear and cochlear implants in the contralateral ear (p=0.047). No significant relationship was found between social anxiety and gender (p=0.868), family sociocultural level, school type (p=0.266, p=0.406), duration of implant use (p=0.306) and age at implantation (p=0.593). Conclusion: It has been shown that children with brainstem implant have higher levels of social anxiety than children with normal hearing. The lower social anxiety score of bimodal users indicates that the use of cochlear implants in the contralateral ear is an important factor in reducing anxiety. This is the first study that evaluate the social anxiety in pediatric auditory brainstem implant users.
