Özet
Objective: In this study, anxiety levels, emotional and behavioral problems, self-esteem and quality of life (QoL) in adolescents with iron deficiency (ID) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) were investigated. Methods: The sample of this cross-sectional case-control study consisted of 115 adolescents (34 ID, 44 IDA and 37 healthy controls) aged 12–17 years. Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, The Pediatric QoL Inventory, Screen for Child Anxiety-Related Emotional Disorders were used for psychosocial assessment. Results: The anxiety levels of patients with IDA were higher compared with healthy controls. The total, physical and psychosocial QoL scores of the adolescents with IDA was found to be lower than those with ID or healthy controls. The total iron binding capacity was correlated with total and psychosocial QoL, self-esteem, and anxiety scores. Conclusion: Findings suggest that adolescents with IDA are affected in terms of anxiety and QoL. A psychosocial evaluation of adolescents with IDA would be appropriate.
