    (Wiley, 2010) N/A; N/A; Güner, Perihan; Işık, Işıl; Faculty Member; Teaching Faculty; School of Nursing; School of Nursing; 101859; 43705
    Most mental health problems start in adolescence and early adulthood. According to the literature, one out of five children and adolescents suffers at least one mental health problem. In this cross-sectional study, the distribution of psychiatric symptom scores among 728 Turkish high school students in grades 9, 10, and 11 was examined and associated with the students' gender, type of school, and grade level, as well as parental attitudes. The Brief Symptom Inventory and The Global Severity Index were used in this study. The latter is a global index of the former, and assesses indications of psychopathological disturbance. Girls score significantly higher than boys on all subscales of the Inventory, and specifically the Index. The highest Global Severity Index scores were obtained from the students who were attending vocational high schools, those who were in 11th grade, and those who indicated indifferent parental attitudes. This study revealed the need for a closer investigation of those students who are at severe risk of mental health problems.

    Psychosocial problems of breast cancer patients in the post-treatment period and supportive nursing interventions
    (Koç Üniversitesi HYO Semahat Arsel Hemşirelik Eğitim ve Araştırma Merkezi (SANERC), 2014) N/A; N/A; Işık, Işıl; Teaching Faculty; School of Nursing; 43705
    Breast cancer, which is a serious health threat to women and to women’s feeling of femininity and sexuality, is fairly common among women in Turkey and elsewhere in the world. A diagnosis of breast cancer is among the most devastating news a woman can hear, causing not only physical but also psychological, social and existential problems. It can also create problems in their families. These problems include depression, adjustment disorder, a decline in the quality of life, anxiety, anger, uncertainty and hopelessness about the future, suicidal tendencies, social isolation, a decline in self-esteem, destruction of body image, anxiety about losing her femininity, and sexual dysfunction. Psychological support to breast cancer patients in the post-treatment is required. The aim of psychological support for these patients is to help them cope with the problems caused by the illness and to make sense of one’s infi rmity. A quick exploration of the scientifi c literature shows that psychological support from breast cancer nurses can increase psychological adaptation, self-perception, functionality, individual participation to cancer treatment and can improve the quality of life among breast cancer patients. This article explores the psychosocial adjustments that take place in breast cancer patients due to their illness and how nurses can provide the best care and support to them. / Meme kanseri dünyada ve ülkemizde kadınlarda sık görülen bir hastalık olmasının yanı sıra kadının sağlığını tehdit eden, kadınlığı ve cinselliği sembolize eden organa karşı tehdit oluşturan önemli bir hastalıktır. Meme kanseri tanısı almak, kadınlarda fi ziksel problemlerin yanı sıra psikolojik, sosyal ve varoluşsal yönden çeşitli sorunlara yol açmaktadır. Ayrıca, ailelerinde de sorunlar yaratmaktadır. Bu sorunların başında depresyon, uyum bozukluğu, yaşam kalitesinde azalma, anksiyete, öfke, gelecek hakkında belirsizlik, umutsuzluk, intihar düşünceleri, sosyal izolasyon, benlik saygısının azalması, beden imajının bozulması, dişilik özelliklerini kaybetme korkusu ve cinsel işlev bozukluğu gelmektedir. Tedavi sonrası dönemde kanser hastalarına psikolojik destek gerekmektedir. Bu desteğin amacı bireyin hastalıkla ve hastalığın yol açtığı yaşam sorunlarıyla baş edecek güce gelmesine, hastalık yaşantısından bir anlam çıkarmasına yardımcı olmaktır. Literatür incelendiğinde, hemşireler tarafından tedavi sonrası dönemde kanser hastalarına verilen danışmanlığın ya da terapilerin kanser hastalarının hastalığa psikolojik adaptasyonlarını, kendilik algılarını, işlevselliklerini, kanser tedavisine katılımlarını ve yaşam kalitelerini artırdığı görülmektedir. Bu makalede; meme kanseri hastalarının hastalık nedeniyle psikososyal uyumlarında meydana gelen değişiklikler ve hemşirelerin bu konuda yaptıkları çalışmalara yer verilmiştir.
