Sumario:OBJECTIVE: Foreign body aspiration is one of the childhood emergencies that thoracic surgeons are interested in, and it can cause morbidity and mortality. Although the relationship between various behavioral problems related to children and foreign body aspiration has been investigated so far, there is no study investigating the relationship between maternal temperament and anxiety sensitivity. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between maternal emotional temperament, anxiety sensitivity, and foreign body aspiration. METHODS: Mothers of 18 children with foreign body aspiration have been evaluated by a thoracic surgeon, and 18 healthy controls have also been included in the study. Maternal emotional temperament has been measured with the Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris, and San Diego – Auto questionnaire scale, and anxiety sensitivity has been measured with the Anxiety Sensitivity Index-3. RESULTS: There has been no statistically significant difference between groups in terms of maternal emotional temperament and anxiety sensitivity. In the logistic regression analysis conducted to determine the predictors of foreign body aspiration, it is determined that the mother’s anxious temperament has predicted foreign body aspiration significantly. CONCLUSION: As a result of the study, it can be concluded that mothers’ anxious temperament can be considered a risk factor for foreign body aspiration because it affects parenting skills and children’s ability to manage behavioral problems. Consistent results could be able to be obtained with studies including larger samples on the subject.
