| Popis: |
Thalassemia a common hereditary blood disorder resulting in anemia. It is an important public health problem, with a high prevalence in Southeast Asia and Mediterranean countries, and preventable through screening programs. However, due to its chronic nature, permanent physical changes, troublesome complications, and lifelong treatment, pediatric patients with thalassemia major are more prone to mental disorders and cognitive impairment. Internalizing and externalizing problems are higher in pediatric patients with thalassemia. Children with β-thalassemia major exhibit lower IQ scores than healthy children. Neurophysiology and neuroimaging examinations have shown abnormal results in children with thalassemia. Co-morbidity with mental disorders increases the mortality, morbidity, and total healthcare costs of patients with thalassemia. Therefore, routine evaluation of mental health problems is recommended to accommodate the early detection and prompt treatment of mental disorders. A multidisciplinary approach for thalassemia patients and families should be delivered by providing appropriate medical care, psychosocial support, and good transition care to improve survival and well-being, assist good social integration and daily functioning, and cope with the stress of chronic disease. |
