Abstract

Aim: Family functioning and quality of life are related. This study was to examine the association of family functioning in families of children/adolescents who had undergone organ transplantation and the quality of life of these children/adolescents and their parents. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study collected research data using the following tools: Child Information Form, Parent Information Form, Pediatric Quality of Life Questionnaire, Parent Quality of Life Assessment Scale, and Family Assessment Device. Results: This study found that the quality of life mean scores of children and parents were low. There was a positive relationship between the general quality of life of children who underwent organ transplantation and their psychosocial quality of life and the quality of life of their parents. This study also found a negative relationship between the psychosocial quality of life of children who had undergone organ transplantation and the subdimensions of roles, affective responsiveness, behavioral control, and general family functioning. Conclusion: This study showed that the quality of life levels of children who have undergone organ transplantation and of their parents may be low and may be associated to each other, which may lead family functioning to be negative.

The study aims to examine the effect of peer bullying that adolescents are exposed to on their self-perceptions and social media use. The present study that included 198 participants was planned descriptive, relational and cross-sectional. In addition to the personal information form, Adolescent Social Media Use Scale, Child-Adolescent Bullying Scale-9 Short Form and Social Comparison Scale were used to collect the data. SPPS 22.0 package program was used in the analysis of the data. Descriptive data of the research are given with mean and frequency. To analyse the data One-Way ANOVA, t-test, and Bivariate Correlation were used. The mean age of the adolescents included in the study was determined as 15.32 ± 1.03. It was determined that 50% of the participants were men, 79.8% were living in nuclear families and 17.2% were individuals who felt psychologically bad. Besides, it was revealed that the mean score of the adolescents' self-perception scale was 81.96 ± 14.3, the mean score of peer bullying was 19.46 ± 8.39, and the mean score of the adolescent social media scale use was 18.15 ± 6.68. As a result of the analyzes, it was determined that there is a strong and significant relationship between the adolescents' exposure to peer bullying, their self-perceptions, and their use of social media. It has been determined that exposure to peer bullying negatively affects adolescents' self-perceptions and may cause addiction to social media use.
