ثبت نشده
چکیده
Materiali e metodi Sono stati arruolati un gruppo di 47 ragazze affette da sindrome di Turner e un gruppo di 47 ragazze sane di età compresa fra i 10 e i 19 anni. Al fine di valutare gli aspetti emotivi e sociorelazionali delle ragazze affette da Turner confrontate con quelle sane, è stata condotta un’intervista semistrutturata per raccogliere dati personali e familiari, relativi ad abitudini psicosociali ed extrascolastiche, e all’intervento terapeutico. Inoltre, per valutare elementi psicopatologici è stato somministrato a pazienti e controlli lo YSR di T. Achembach. Risultati Questo studio evidenzia alcuni aspetti critici riguardanti le ragazze affette da sindrome di Turner, quali l’insoddisfazione per l’aspetto fisico, l’importanza della relazioni con i genitori che influenza sia l’accettazione della malattia sia diversi altri aspetti psico-sociali, le difficoltà con il gruppo dei pari, e la presenza di sintomi psicopatologici (problemi internalizzanti piuttosto che esternalizzanti).
