INTRODUCTION: Raising awareness in the emotions and behaviors of child / adolescent mothers diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder balances the relationship between the mother and child. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between parental attitude and emotion regulation in children / adolescent mothers diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). METHODS: The study was applied to mothers with children aged 8-18 years who were enrolled in the pediatric psychiatry outpatient clinic of a university hospital and served between July-November 2019. The population of the study consisted of 119 mothers who made appointments via telephone and internet, and the sample consisted of 60 volunteer mothers who agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected by using socio-demographic form, Parental Attitude Scale and Emotional Difficulty Scale. RESULTS: According to this, the mean EES and DSSI were 8.91 ± 2.38 and 37.28 ± 8.15, respectively. “Extreme Loose Attitude ından, 3.49 (SD = 0.98),“ Overreacting Attitude ”3.11 (SD = 1.27), and“ Aggressive Attitude were found to be 2.31 (SD = 1.26). A positive correlation was found between “Extreme Loose Attitude” and PAS (p <0.001). There was a significant positive relationship between “Overreactive Attitude” and “Aggressive Attitude ((p <0.01); There was a positive positive correlation (p <0.001) between “overreactive attitude” and mean scores of PES (p <0.001). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: There was a relationship between mothers' parental attitudes and emotional regulation and this affects children / adolescents. Therefore, mothers should be taught to regulate their emotional state towards children / adolescents, to control this process, and to contribute to the positive development of their democratic attitudes and behaviors. Ensuring that Pediatric Adolescent Psychiatric Nurses play a supportive, caring, consultant and educational role in clinics will have an important place in the services of Pediatric and Adolescent Mental Health and Diseases.

AbstractIn the target article, Cramer et al. suggest that diagnostic classification is improved by modeling the relationship between manifest variables (i.e., symptoms) rather than modeling unobservable latent variables (i.e., diagnostic categories such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder). This commentary discusses whether symptoms represent manifest or latent variables and the implications of this distinction for diagnosis and treatment.

ABSTRACT Objective: While much research has been conducted toward understanding the relationship between prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD) and generalized anxiety, little has been done considering additional influential factors in the relationship by means of a large ethnically diverse sample. Our study strives to fulfill these deficits in the literature as we set out to determine the impact of progression of PD, age, gender, and Hoehn and Yahr (H and Y) staging of PD on generalized anxiety. Methods: A retrospective chart review analysis was performed on PD patients who were regularly examined in a community-based PD and movement disorders center from 2005 to 2010. Results: This study consisted of 310 patients with PD among whom 12% had generalized anxiety. Neither age nor gender was significant onset predictors at P = 0.05. The impact of progression of H and Y Stages 2–3 and 2–4 increased the odds of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) prevalence though it was statistically insignificant at P = 0.05. Conclusions: Clinicians should not expect the risk of developing anxiety to depend on gender nor change as a function of age though it may increase with symptomatic progression of PD as outlined by H and Y. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest and most ethnically diverse prevalence study with a focus on generalized anxiety and PD. Significant Outcomes and Limitations: The symptomatic progression of PD, but not age or gender, may be associated with an increased risk for GAD. This study lacked adjustment for potential confounders such as depression and PD medications.
