    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Hall, Lynne; Crawford, Timothy; Hall, Martin; N/A; Salameh, Taghreed Nayel Mohammad; Faculty Member; School of Nursing; 329120
    This study compared and contrasted perceived barriers to mental health and substance use treatment among pregnant and non-pregnant women from 2008-2010 to 2011-2014. A trend study was conducted using secondary data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health 2008-2014 from a propensity score-matched sample of pregnant (n = 5,520) and nonpregnant women (n = 11,040) aged 18 to 44 years. The most frequently perceived barriers to mental health treatment among all women ranked similarly in 2008-2010 compared to 2011-2014: cost (45.2% vs. 50.6%), opposition to treatment (41.9% vs. 41.4%), and stigma (28.2% vs. 24.7%). The rank order of barriers to substance use treatment in 2008-2010 among all women was cost (38.7%), stigma (18.2%), and time/transportation limitations (17%), whereas in 2011-2014, stigma ranked first (35.5%), followed by cost (25.9%) and time/transportation limitations (22.2%). In 2011-2014, the women were significantly more likely than women in 2008-2010 to report not knowing where to go (8.2% vs. .9%, p = .003) and a lack of substance use treatment programs (17.7% vs. 3.0%, p = .014). Perceived barriers to mental health treatment did not change overtime; however, there was a decrease in reported availability of substance use treatment programs between 2008-2010 and 2011-2014.

    Reliability and validity of a Turkish version of the sexual quality of life - male questionnaire: a methodological study
    (Csiro Publishing, 2018) Kılıç, Ayşe; Taştan, Sevinç; Ayhan, Hatice; Taçtan, Birhan; N/A; Seven, Memnun; Faculty Member; School of Nursing; 32470
    Background: The aim of this methodological study was to assess the reliability and validity of the Sexual Quality of Life - Male (SQoL-M) questionnaire translated and adapted to measure the sexual quality of life of men in Turkey and Northern Cyprus. Methods: To assess the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the SQoL-M questionnaire, in January and February 2017 we formed a sample of 128 men from Ankara, Turkey, and Gime, Northern Cyprus, to complete the questionnaire. Two weeks later, 65 of these men completed the questionnaire during a retest. Factor analysis was conducted to evaluate the questionnaire's factor structure, internal consistency and test retest reliability analyses were used to assess reliability and Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to measure criterion related validity. Results: Cronbach's a for the Turkish version of the SQoL-M questionnaire was 0.91, with corrected item-total score correlations ranging from 0.432 to 0.819. The test-retest correlation, calculated to compare scale scores of both groups of participants, was 0.83 (P <0.001). We also observed a statistically significant relationship between the Turkish version of the SQoL-M questionnaire and the Arizona Sexual Experience scale. Conclusions: The Turkish version of the SQoL-M questionnaire is a valid, reliable instrument for evaluating the sexual quality of life of men in Turkey and Northern Cyprus.
