ABSTRACT
Conclusion:
Addressing cognitive awareness and emotional resilience levels in anxiety disorders at an early stage will significantly contribute to the holistic evaluation of these patients. In addition, trying to increase the levels of metacognitive awareness and emotional resilience may be mentally protective.
Results:
No statistically significant difference was found between the patient and control groups in terms of total scores of the metacognitive awareness and emotional resilience scales. In the patient group, a positive correlation was found between the RSCA scores and the RCADS-P anxiety and total scores (p=0,005, r=0,371, p=0,006, r=0,363, respectively).
Materials and Methods:
The study was conducted on 32 patients diagnosed with anxiety disorders and 30 age- and sex-matched children with any psychiatric disorder. The study group completed the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (Jr. MAI) and Resiliency Scales for Children and Adolescents (RSCA). The parents filled out the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale-Parent Form (RCADS-P).
Objectives:
In this study, the first aim was to compare the metacognitive awareness and emotional resilience levels of children with anxiety disorders with healthy controls. Another aim was to examine in the patient group the relationship between metacognitive awareness and emotional resilience, as well as their relationship with the frequency of anxiety symptoms expressed by the parents.
