    Depression and anxiety in relation with hormonal and metabolic profile in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome
    (2014) N/A; Çolakoğlu, Saba Sultan; Other; #N/A; #N/A
    Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hyperandrogenic endocrine disorder which is also associated with psychological and metabolic disturbances. The aim of the present study was to determine whether depression and anxiety were more common in women with PCOS and whether were associated with metabolic and hormonal status. Material and Methods: A total of 50 women with PCOS and 50 age-matched controls were eligible for the study. All participants completed standardized questionnaires assessing depression (Beck Depression Inventory) and anxiety (Beck Anxiety Inventory). Hirsutism scores, hormonal and metabolic profile were also evaluated. Results: Depression and anxiety scores were found higher in women with PCOS compared to controls. Both scores were significantly correlated with body mass index, insulin resistance and lipid parameters as well as hirsutism scores. Conclusion: Data of the present study suggested that depression and anxiety scores were higher in women with PCOS compared to controls. Both depression and anxiety in PCOS is associated with obesity, hirsutism and metabolic abnormalities such as insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and hyperandrogenemia. Clinicians treating women with PCOS should be aware that these women are a high risk group for common mood and anxiety disorders. Management should focus on support, education and strongly emphasizing healthy lifestyle changes. / Öz: Amaç: Polikistik over sendromu (PKOS) metabolik ve psikolojik bozuklukların da eşlik ettiği sık görülen bir hiperandrojenik endokrin hastalıktır. Bu çalışmanın amacı PKOS’lu hastalarda depresyon ve anksiyeteyi ölçekler vasıtasıyla değerlendirip, bu ölçeklerin metabolik ve hormonal profil ile ilişkisini incelenmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: PKOS tanısı almış 50 hastaya ve 50 sağlıklı gönüllüye Beck depresyon ve Beck anksiyete ölçekleri anket yöntemiyle doldurtuldu. Hasta ve ve kontrol gruplarının fizik muayene bulguları, hirsutizm skorları (modifiye Ferriman Gallwey) not edildi. Hormonal ve metabolik profilleri de değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Depresyon ve anksiyete skorları PKOS grubunda kontrol grubuna göre daha yüksek bulundu. Hem depresyon hem de anksiyete skorları vücut kitle indeksi, insülin resistansı, lipid profili ve hirsutizm skorları ile pozitif korelasyon gösterdi. Sonuç: Depresyon ve anksiyete skorları PKOS’lu hastalarda sağlıklı kontrollere göre daha yüksektir. Bu skorlar obezite ve hirsutizm ile ve aynı zamanda dislipidemi, insülin rezistansı ve hiperandrojenizm gibi hormonal ve metabolik bozukluklar ile de ilişkilidir. Klinisyenler, PKOS’lu hastaların anksiyete ve duygu durum bozuklukları için yüksek risk grubunda oldukları konusunda bilinçli olmalıdır. Bu hastaların yönetimi, destek, eğitim ve sağlıklı yaşam tarzı değişikliklerinin özendirilmesi konularına odaklanmalıdır.

    Aim: Cognitive failures are suggested to be a transdiagnostic endophenotype that increases the vulnerability for psychiatric disorders. Broadbent’s Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ), is among the most widely used scales to assess cognitive function observed in an ecological manner. Despite its wide use in research and correlation with biological markers, CFQ is criticized for its unstable factorial structure among studies and 5-Likert structure that may lead to bias for neutral answers. Here we aimed to develop a 4-Likert Turkish version of CFQ, search its validity, reliability and factorial structure. Material and Methods: CFQ has been translated to Turkish in two steps. CFQ, Perceived Deficit Questionnaire-D (PDQ-D), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were applied to 272 participants (187 healthy controls, 55 patients diagnosed with depression, 30 patients diagnosed with anxiety disorder). Results: The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 4-Likert Turkish version of CFQ was found as 0.91. Principal component analysis extracted five factors and explained 53.7 % of total variance. CFQ scores were significantly different among groups. Both depressive and anxious groups reported higher CFQ scores compared to controls. CFQ significantly and strongly correlated with PDQ-D and showed a moderate correlation with BDI and BAI. Conclusion: 4-Likert Turkish version of CFQ is a valid and reliable tool to assess cognitive failures in non-demented groups. Our analysis revealed a five factorial structure for CFQ, however previous literature with the 5-Likert version shows different factor structures and does not indicate a dimensional stability.

    The effect of an interactive robot on children's post-operative anxiety, mobilization, and parents' satisfaction; randomized controlled study
    (W.B. Saunders, 2023) Topçu, Sacide Yıldızeli; Kostak, Melahat Akgün; Güray, Özlem; Sert, Senem; Yavuz, Gözde; N/A; Semerci, Remziye; Faculty Member; School of Nursing; 216754
    Purpose: To evaluate the effect of an interactive robot on Turkish children's post-operative anxiety, mobilization, and parents' satisfaction related to post-operative care. Method: A randomized controlled study was conducted with 84 children who will undergo day surgery aged 5–10 years and their parents at a university hospital between June 2020–April 2022. The interactive robot was provided to accompany the children during the postoperative mobilization. Children in the control group received standard care during mobilization. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Children's State Anxiety (CSA), Parental Satisfaction Scale-Visual Analog Scale, and Mobilization Chart. Results: It was determined that the CSA score of the children in the control group were higher than the intervention group before their first mobilization after surgery (p = 0.005). During the first (p = 0.042) and second (p = 0.012) mobilization, it was determined that the mobilization duration of children in the intervention group was longer than the children in the control group. It was found that the parents of the children in the intervention group had a high level of satisfaction. Conclusion: It has been determined that interactive robots positively affect postoperative mobilization in children undergoing day surgery, reduce the anxiety level of children before mobilization, and increase the duration of mobilization. In addition, the use of interactive robots increased parents' satisfaction with post-operative mobilization care. Practice Implications: Using interactive robots to reduce the stress and anxiety of children during the perioperative process can be a promising approach to improve their recovery by providing early mobilization.

    Anhedonia is a core feature of many psychiatric disorders and its reliable evaluation is needed for the dimensional understanding of psychiatric disorders. Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale (SHAPS) is one of the most widely used scales to assess anhedonia. Here, we aimed to search the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of SHAPS. Translation of the original scale was completed in a two-step procedure. 188 healthy controls, 56 patients with a depressive disorder (F32-F34, excluding F34.0 cyclothymic disorder, according to ICD-10), and 52 patients with anxiety, stress-related or somatoform disorder diagnoses (F40-49 diagnosis according to ICD-10) were recruited, and evaluated with the Turkish version of SHAPS, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R). For the Turkish version of SHAPS, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was found 0.87. The item-total item correlation indices ranged from 0.39 to 0.64. Principal components analysis extracted two factors and explained 46.57 % of total variance. The most significant correlation of SHAPS was found with BDI and depression subscale of SCL-90-R scores. SHAPS also weakly but significantly correlated with obsessive compulsive and anxiety subscales of SCL-90-R, and weakly but non-significantly with BAI and somatization, interpersonal sensitivity, hostility and psychoticism subscales of SCL-90-R. Depressive group had significantly higher SHAPS scores compared to controls and anxious group. Anxious group and control group were not significantly different for SHAPS scores. The current study shows that the Turkish version of the SHAPS has good psychometric properties. SHAPS scores may correlate with depression, somatization, and interpersonal sensitivity scores, and it may help to differentiate depressive patients from anxious patients and controls. /Öz: Anhedoni, birçok psikiyatrik bozukluğun temel bir özelliğidir ve psikiyatrik bozuklukların boyutsal olarak anlaşılması için güvenilir bir şekilde değerlendirilmesi gerekir. Snaith-Hamilton Keyif Alma Ölçeği (SHKÖ), anhedoniyi değerlendirmek için en yaygın kullanılan ölçeklerden biridir. Burada, SHKÖ’nün Türkçe versiyonunun geçerliliği ve güvenilirliğinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Orijinal ölçeğin çevirisi iki aşamalı bir prosedürle tamamlanmıştır. 188 sağlıklı kontrol, 56 depresif bozukluk (ICD-10’a göre F34.0 (siklotimi) dışında F32-F34 tanıları almış kişiler) ve 52 anksiyete, stres ilişkili veya somatoform bozukluk tanısı almış olan anksiyöz hasta (ICD-10’a göre F40-49 tanıları almış kişiler) çalışmaya alınmıştır. Katılımcılar SHKÖ’nün Türkçe versiyonu, Beck Depresyon Envanteri (BDE), Beck Anksiyete Envanteri (BAE) ve Belirti Kontrol Listesi-90-Gözden Geçirilmiş Form (SCL-90-R) ile değerlendirilmiştir. SHKÖ’nün Türkçe versiyonu için Cronbach alfa katsayısı 0,87 olarak bulunmuştur. Madde-toplam madde korelasyon endeksleri 0,39 ile 0,64 arasında değişmiştir. Temel bileşenler analizi iki faktörü ortaya çıkarmış ve toplam varyansın % 46,57‘ sini açıklamıştır. En yüksek SHKÖ korelasyonu BDE ve SCL-90-R‘nin depresyon alt ölçeği skorları ile bulunmuştur. SHKÖ ayrıca SCL-90-R‘nin obsesif kompulsif ve anksiyete alt ölçekleri ile zayıf fakat istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir korelasyon gösterirken, SCL-90- R‘nin somatizasyon, kişilerarası duyarlılık, hostilite ve psikotisizm alt ölçekleri ile zayıf fakat istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmayan bir ilişki göstermiştir. Depresif hasta grubunda kontrol grubuna ve anksiyöz hasta grubuna göre anlamlı derecede yüksek SHKÖ skorları saptanmıştır. Anksiyöz hasta grubu ve kontrol grubu, SHKÖ skorları için farklı bulunmamıştır. Bu çalışma, SHKÖ’nün Türkçe versiyonunun iyi psikometrik özellikleri olduğunu göstermektedir. SHKÖ puanları depresyon, somatizasyon ve kişilerarası duyarlılık puanları ile ilişkili olabilir ve depresif hastaları anksiyöz hastalardan ve kontrollerden ayırmada yardımcı olabilir.
