ABSTRACT
Objective: A standard has not been established in the health service provided to adolescent children who apply to health institutions in our country. Uncertainty remains about whether these patients should be hospitalized in pediatric or adult clinics. The aim of this study is to reveal the psychosocial developmental characteristics of children aged 15, 16, and 17. In parallel with this; We aimed to determine the tendencies of both the child and the child's parent regarding whether the treatment process is carried out in the pediatric or adult clinic.

Patients and Methods: This is a cross-sectional survey study conducted with children aged 15-17 admitted to Erzincan University Medical Faculty Mengücek Gazi Training and Research Hospital Pediatric Surgery Clinic and their parents. A total of 50 children and parents were asked to fill in the standardized scales used in the psychosocial analysis of the adolescent and to answer the question of whether they wanted to be hospitalized in the pediatric or adult clinic.

Results: 62% of the patients were male (n=31), 38% (n=19) were female, and the mean age was 15.84±0.84. For seventeen-year-old children, 81.2% of parents preferred adult services (p=0.044). Adolescents' aggressive behavior scores were higher in 17-year-olds than in 15-year-olds, and withdrawal/depression scores were higher in 16-year-olds than 17-year-olds, according to the scales filled in by their parents. It was determined that the scores of somatic complaints, disruptive behavior and introjection problems were higher in 16-year-olds than in 15-year-olds.

Conclusion: Adolescence is an important period of childhood that requires a different approach. Adolescents, especially in the age group of 17, are accepted as adults by both themselves and their parents. It would be beneficial to establish separate adolescent clinics for these patients. Giving these patients the right to choose the clinic where they will be treated will be beneficial in solving the problem.
