    Relationship Between Peritraumatic Dissociation Beliefs About Losing Control, Resilience, and PTSD on Earthquake Survivors in Turkey
    (Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2025-04-17) Unal, Gonca Ayse; Avci, Ufuk Kocatepe; Ozdemir, Emre
    Purpose: The earthquakes that occurred on February 6, 2023, caused significant losses in Turkey. While a large number of people are exposed to trauma, only a few develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It has been suggested that peritraumatic dissociation and dysfunctional beliefs also play a role in the emergence and maintenance of PTSD, and resilience is one of the most important protective factors for PTSD. This study is to test the moderated mediating role of resilience on beliefs about losing control (BALC) and its associations with peritraumatic dissociation and PTSD in earthquake survivors. Participants and Methods: A total of 112 individuals living in the tent city of Hatay and Kahramanmara & scedil;Provinces, which experienced earthquakes in 2023 in Turkey, were included in the study. Participants completed Sociodemographic Information Form, PTSD Symptom Scale-Self-Report, Brief Resilience Scale, Peritraumatic Dissociative Experiences Questionnaire, and Beliefs about Losing Control Inventory. Results: Peritraumatic dissociation positively correlated with BALC ((3 = 0.487, p < 0.001). BALC acts as a mediator and positively predicts post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) ((3 = 0.321, p < 0.001). The interaction between BALC and resilience also had a significant effect on PTSS ((3 = 0.032, p < 0.05). The relationship between BALC and PTSS was significant at high and medium resilience levels (p<0.05) but not at low resilience. Conclusion: Peritraumatic dissociation predicts PTSS both directly and through BALC, and higher levels of resilience are more likely than lower levels of resilience to attenuate the effects of BALC on PTSS in earthquake survivors.

    The Mediating Role of Attitudes Towards Eating in the Relationship Between Compulsive Instagram Use and Orthorexia in Adults
    (Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2024) Unal, Gonca Ayse; Kocatepe Avcı, Ufuk
    Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between compulsive use of social media and orthorexia, with a focus on the mediating role of eating attitudes. Patients and Methods: The study involved 255 participants between the ages of 18–65 who did not have any psychiatric disorders or developmental disabilities. The participants completed a Sociodemographic Information Form, Orthorexia Nervosa Inventory, Social Media Addiction Scale, and Eating Attitudes Test. Results: The results showed a positive correlation between orthorexia and all other scales and sub-scales. Multiple regression analyses revealed that eating attitudes were a significant predictor of all sub-dimensions of orthorexia. Additionally, the sub-dimension of Conflict on the Social Media Addiction Scale was found to predict the Impairments sub-dimension of orthorexia. Further analysis using the PROCESS macro showed that compulsive use of social media not only directly predicted orthorexia, but also indirectly through eating attitudes. Conclusion: These findings emphasize the importance of addressing both compulsive use of social media and eating attitudes when working with individuals who exhibit orthorexic symptoms in clinical settings. © 2024 Unal and Kocatepe Avcı.
