Özet

BACKGROUND: Intolerance to uncertainty is defined as a tendency to perceive uncertain events and situations as causes of danger, and to respond emotionally and behaviorally negatively. Separation anxiety disorder is defined as excessive anxiety, fear or avoidance behavior that occurs when separating from the attached figure. In this study, we aimed to measure the separation anxiety and intolerance of uncertainty of the patients' relatives when they brought their relatives to the emergency service.
