    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Pak, Sukufe; Yurtbakan, Taylan; Department of Psychology; Acartürk, Ceren; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 39271
    Refugees are exposed to potentially traumatic events before, during, and after the forced displacement. Related to these events, they are at risk of developing mental health problems. From a public-health perspective, it is important to investigate factors fostering resilience among refugee population. This study aimed to explore the mediation role of self-efficacy between social support and resilience among Syrian refugees living in Istanbul, Turkey. A cross-sectional survey of 339 Syrian refugees aged 18 and older was conducted between September 2018 and March 2019 in Istanbul. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) was used to measure resilience, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) assessed social support, and self-efficacy was measured by the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE). The simple mediation model analysis showed the mediating effect of self-efficacy on the social support and resilience relationship. Among the demographic factors, males and individuals with higher education levels reported increased resilience. Findings illuminated the importance of self-efficacy in promoting resilience among refugee population. Implications were discussed in a culturally appropriate way to enhance self-efficacy among Syrian refugees.

    Objective Anxiety disorders (AD) are known for its comorbidity and negative impact on the course of adult bipolar disorder (BD). However, there is limited research on AD comorbidity in pediatric BD (PBD). Here, we aimed to conduct a meta-analysis and meta-regression study about the comorbidity and covariates of AD and PBD. Method We systematically searched relevant articles published until May 2019, as defined in PRISMA guidelines. Variables for associated features and prevalence of AD were extracted. Results Thirty-seven articles represented data for the analysis. Lifetime any AD comorbidity was 44.7%; panic disorder (PD) was 12.7%; generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) was 27.4%; social phobia was 20.1%; separation anxiety disorder (SAD) was 26.1%; and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) was 16.7%. Childhood-onset studies reported higher GAD and SAD comorbidity, while adolescent-onset studies reported higher PD, OCD, and social phobia. Age of onset, gender, comorbidity of ADHD, substance use, oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder affected each anxiety disorders' comorbidity with PBD differently. Conclusion Anxiety disorders are highly comorbid with PBD. Early-onset PBD increases the risk of AD. Biopsychosocial aspects of this comorbidity and its course needs to be evaluated further.

    Sleep, depression, anxiety and fatigue in women with premature ovarian insufficiency
    (Taylor & Francis, 2022) Ates, Seda; Ozcan, Pinar; Bakar, Rabia Zehra; Cetin, Caglar; N/A; Aydın, Serdar; Faculty Member; School of Medicine; 132535
    Purpose To assess sleep disturbances, levels of anxiety, depression and fatigue in women with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). Materials and methods The study included 62 women with POI and 62 age-matched controls. Women in both groups completed questionnaires. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Insomnia severity index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Fatigue Severity Scale were used. Results We found poor sleep quality, higher levels of insomnia in women with POI than in controls. Depression was much more prevalent and severe in POI women. Total anxiety score, the severity of anxiety and fatigue did not differ significantly between the groups. According to the multivariable logistic regression analysis, being married and having POI were associated with worse quality of sleep, and having more children was associated with an increase in depression levels in the whole cohort. Backward analysis showed that when POI status was taken as a reference, married women were at 6.5 fold increased risk of poor sleep quality. Conclusions Women with premature ovarian failure are more likely to suffer from poor sleep quality, insomnia and depression than healthy women.

    Under poverty and conflict: well-being of children living in the East of Turkey
    (Educational Publishing Foundation-American Psychological Assoc, 2020) N/A; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Kara, Buket; Selçuk, Bilge; Researcher; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; 52913
    Children living in armed conflict zones are often exposed to political violence and other risk factors that may be caused or exacerbated by the conflict, such as poverty and family violence. If left untreated, these experiences may cause psychological problems throughout life. This study investigated the psychological well-being of children living in the low-intensity armed conflict zone in Turkey in relation to their adverse experiences. We collected data from 409 caregivers for their children (236 girls) aged 5.5 to 18 years (mean [M] = 11.50, standard deviation [SD] = 3.65). Caregivers provided information regarding their children's emotional and behavioral problems (internalizing, externalizing, and total problems; posttraumatic stress symptoms [PTSS]), income, family violence, and armed conflict experiences. Caregivers reported moderate levels of problems among children. The prevalence of borderline/clinical (T > 60) scores was 14.3% for internalizing, 12.6% for externalizing, and 14% for total problems and 7.9% for PTSS. Notably, almost all families resided in extreme poverty. The prevalence of family violence was 36%. Children were frequently exposed to conflict-related events. Hierarchical regressions showed that after controlling for the role of demographic variables and other risk factors, income predicted total problem level (beta = -.10), and family violence (beta s = .17 to .26) and armed conflict (beta s = .13 to .20) experiences predicted internalizing, externalizing, and total problems and PTSS levels. Our findings suggest that family violence and armed conflict pose a significant risk to children's psychological well-being and inform intervention strategies and policy decisions to promote welfare in such disadvantaged contexts. Public Policy Relevance Statement Adverse life experiences such as war, poverty, and family violence substantially threaten the development and well-being of children throughout their life course. In this study, we identified prominent risk factors for the psychological well-being of children living in a low-intensity armed conflict zone, rather than a full-blown war. Policymakers, as well as public health and social workers, should regard these findings to tailor effective early-stage interventions, remedial efforts, and policy decisions to promote the well-being of children living in a zone of low-intensity armed conflict.

    Purpose This study aims to test the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the HIV/AIDS-related Stigma Scale. Design and Methods The study has a methodological design. The sample included a total of 428 participants. of the participants, 198 were HIV/AIDS patients, 230 were HIV-negative individuals. The data were analyzed using the Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Findings The Turkish version of the HIV/AIDS-related Stigma Scale was found to be valid and reliable for the Turkish society. Cronbach's alpha was 0.93 for the community perspectives subscale and 0.89 for the patient perspectives subscale, and all the model fit indices were acceptable. Practice Implications The level of stigmatization revealed by the scale helps gain an insight into the community and patient perspectives on HIV/AIDS.
