Purpose: In this study, we aimed to investigate the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of children and adolescents diagnosed with tic disorders. Materials and Methods: The study population included 187 children with tic disorders, aged between 4 and 18 years. The data were obtained by using Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS), Screen for Child Anxiety and Related Disorders, Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Age Children-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL). The demographic information, history of familial diseases were recorded. Results: The study included 37 girls (mean 10.9 ± 2.5 years) and 150 boys (mean 10.9 ± 2.7 years) with a mean age of 10.9 ± 2.6 years. Of all cases, 135 were classified as Tourette Syndrome (n=135; 72,2%), 50 as motor tics (n=50; 26,7 %) and 2 as others tic disorders (n=2; 1,1%) according to the diagnostic tic disorders subtype. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of mean age and first symptom age according to the subtype of tic disorder. In 91% of the cases, the age of onset of tics was 12 years or younger. The rate of having at least one comorbidity, mean number of comorbidities and comorbid ADHD rates were significantly higher among boys than girls. The most common comorbid diagnoses were ADHD (n=142, 75.9%), OCD (n= 08, 57.8%) and anxiety disorder (n=57, 30.4%). Conclusion: In our study, male cases, early onset and multiple comorbid diagnoses were found to be significantly higher in childhood tic disorders.

(2020) Tingaz, Emre Ozan; Çakmak, Soner; Ekiz, Meryem Altun
The present study aims to the examination of mindfulness and impulsiveness in university student-athletes in terms of sports injury development history. A total of 181 athletes, 56 female, and 125 males, were included in the study. The Sociodemographic Information Form, the short form of the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, and the Mindfulness Inventory for Sport were applied to the participants. In conclusion, the athletes with a history of injuring another athlete had a higher score average in impulsiveness scale. The total scores from the overall mindfulness inventory did not differ significantly based on the status of having injured another athlete. It was observed that the athletes who experienced severe injury had a lower score average in the overall impulsiveness scale compared to the athletes who experienced a moderate injury. No significant difference was observed in the score averages from the overall mindfulness scale based on injury severity. Among the most notable results of the present study are the positive relationship between motor impulsiveness and injury frequency and the negative relationship between mindfulness and the total of the impulsivity scale and all its sub-dimensions.
Relationship between quality of life, depression and anxiety in type 1 and type 2 diabetes
(2020) Çakmak, Soner; Gen, Emirhan
ABSTRACT Objective: Physical, cognitive and emotional changes in diabetic patients affect the treatment process and quality of life. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between depression and anxiety symptoms and quality of life in diabetic patients and the differences of these variables with regard to some sociodemographic factors and the type of diabetes. Method: The study sample consisted of 202 patients with diabetes mellitus (83 type 1, 119 type 2 diabetes) admitted to a wellness center in Adana. The World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Inventory were administered to the participants. Their sociodemographic information, body mass index, and smoking and alcohol use status were recorded. Results: The quality of life subscales were lower (general health p=0.009, physical health p=0.005, psychological health p=0.022, social relations p<0.001, environment p=0.005) and depression and anxiety symptom levels were higher (p=0.03, p=0.02) in patients with type 1 diabetes than in type 2. Depression and anxiety severity were found to be independent factors affecting all quality of life levels (p<0.01) and diabetes type was an independent factor for social quality of life (p=0.027). The general quality of life subscale score for women (p=0.042) and general, physical and psychological quality of life subscales scores of the obese (p=0.042, p=0.016, p=0.045) were low. With higher education level and lower age, quality of life was found to increase (p<0.05) while depression and anxiety levels decreased (p<0.01). There was a negative correlation between smoking (p=0.035) and quality of life and a positive correlation with anxiety level (p=0.018). Conclusion: Diabetes type, depression and anxiety are predictors of quality of life in diabetic patients. Age, weight, low education level, and smoking were also associated with poor quality of life and depression and anxiety symptom severity in diabetic patients.

Bulgular: Çalışmada tedavi almamış MDB hastalarında erken dönemde bilişsel işlevlerde bozulmanın sağlıklı kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı olarak daha fazla olduğu belirlenmiştir. İST puanlarında hasta ve kontrol grubu arasında anlamlı farklılık olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0,005). Depresyonun klinik şiddeti ile bilişsel bozulma düzeyi arasında pozitif ve doğrusal bir ilişki olduğu sonucu elde edilmiştir (A+B Süre; r=0,52, p<0,01). Sonuç: Erken dönemde MDB hastalarında bilişsel bozulma göz önünde bulundurulmalı ve bilişsel bozulmayı hedef alan tedavilere yer verilmelidi
Evaluation of impulsivity and complex attention functions of subjects with substance use: Sample from Adiyaman province
(2019) Uğuz, Şükrü; Kustepe, Ali; Kalenderoglu, Aysun; Celik, Mustafa
The aim of this research is to compare impulsivity and complex attention functions in individuals with substance use disorders to those who do not use substance. Design of this study was a case-control study. Universe of this study was patients with substance use who admitted to psychiatry department of our hospital. Among them, 33 (94.3%) males and 2 females between 18-65 years of age formed the study sample. Randomly selected 23 (92.0%) males and 2 (8%) females without any substance use disorders who were similar to the study group according to age and sex formed the control group. A statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of Barratt’s total impulsivity score, motor impulsivity, and non-plan point scores (p˂0.05). There were two statistically significant differences (p˂0.05) between two groups in terms of Trail Making Part B, Trail Making Part B / Trail Making Part A, Trail Making Part B - Trail Making Part A, Trail Making Part B + Trail Making Part A. Subjects using substances have difficulties with concentration, delaying gratification, making appropriate decisions, and inhibiting responses. Another important finding of this study was higher levels of disturbance in complex attention function in subjects with substance use. According to this result, subjects with substance use have difficulties in changing between different stimulating sets, following consecutive stimuli and mental flexibility. Long term follow-up studies are needed to understand the reciprocal relations between substance use, impulsivity, and complex attention
A Contextual Approach to Stereotype Content Model: Stereotype Contents in Context
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2013) Aktan, Timucin; Maree, K
The present paper aims to review the strengths and weakness of the Stereotype Content Model (SCM; Fiske et al., 2002). Thus, a context sensitive perspective was provided to overcome the shortcomings of SCM. In the first section, contributions of SCM are discussed. Secondly, a special focus is devoted to the competence and warmth dimensions to identify several difficulties of the model. Finally, a context sensitive perspective is suggested to overcome these difficulties. In this perspective, three contextual factors suggested: the kinds of competition, legitimacy of status, and constraints of social reality. Finally, limitations and suggestions for future studies are presented. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
The relationships between coping strategies, social support and depression: an investigation among Turkish care-givers of patients with dementia
(CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS, 2017) Kiral, Kahraman; Yetim, Ünsal; Özge, Aynur; Aydin, Arzu
Caring for a patient with dementia is a stressful life event, and care-givers carry a heavy psychological burden. However, the extent to which care-givers are affected by the stressful aspects of care-giving may depend on a variety of factors. This study examined the relationships between cognitive emotion regulation strategies, social support and depression among Turkish dementia care-givers. Research questions explored whether different coping strategies and social support were related to levels of depression, as well as whether social support moderated this relationship. We used a hierarchical multiple regression analysis consisting of three blocks as the primary statistical technique to examine our expectations. In total, 141 dementia care-givers (108 women, 33 men) were recruited to the study. The mean age of the sample was 59.74 years old (standard deviation=12.70). Hierarchical regression analysis indicated a significant negative main effect for positive refocusing strategies and significant positive main effects for catastrophising and blaming others. Social support moderated the relationships between catastrophising, rumination and symptoms of depression. Our results show that cognitive emotion regulation strategies and social support can play significant roles in alleviating care-giver depression. In the light of these results, it may be suggested that interventions focusing on the effects of positive refocusing, catastrophising and blaming others, as well as providing social support, may be helpful in alleviating depression in care-givers.
Comparison of the original and parallel forms of the three words-three Shapes test
(TURKISH NEUROLOGICAL SOC, 2018) Kudiaki, Çigdem; Aslan, Asli; Dinc, Dilem
Objective: The Three Words-Three Shapes test is a moderately difficult memory and learning test, which is very suitable for use in clinical applications. It allows the evaluation of both verbal and non-verbal materials in the same modality. Because neuropsychological evaluations may be repeated with certain intervals to follow a patient's progress, in situations where the progress of particularly degenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer or Parkinson-type dementia, primary progressive aphasia) need to be followed up, a parallel form of the test must be employed. Although normative data can be found for the original form of the test, the absence of data about the equivalency of its parallel form reduces the reliability of the test. Therefore, the aims of this study were to obtain normative data on the parallel form and compare the data on the parallel and original forms. Materials and Methods: One hundred-seventy nine participants aged 50 to 84 years with no neurologic or psychiatric disorders were included in the study. Pre-evaluations of potential participants were performed using the Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination and Geriatric Depression Scale, and the individuals who scored above the cut-off points set for Turkey were included in the study. Results: The average scores for the original and parallel forms of the test were found to have good agreement when they were applied with two-week intervals. According to the results of the correlation analysis, the correlation between incidental recall, acquisition and delayed recall subtests were significant. For the results that indicated no significant correlation for the copying and recognition subtests, separate charts of score frequencies are presented. Conclusion: The observed values indicate that both forms of the three words-three shapes test can be reliably employed in parallel.

Correlation of anxiety and depression levels with attitudes towards coping with Illness and sociodemographic characteristics in patients with a diagnosis of breast cancer
(YERKURE TANITIM & YAYINCILIK HIZMETLERI A S, 2018) Geyikci, Rabia; Çakmak, Soner; Demirkol, Mehmet Emin; Uğuz, Şükrü
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of anxiety and depression levels of breast cancer patients that had completed a year since receiving the diagnosis with their sociodemographic characteristics and attitudes towards coping with their disease. Method: This study was conducted with 94 female patients between the ages of 35 and 65 years who had been diagnosed with breast cancer and who were treated at the Oncology Department of Cukurova University's Faculty of Medicine between June 5 and July 31, 2017. Data were collected via a personal information form prepared by the investigator, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and COPE inventory. Results: It was found that 27.7% and 16.0% of patients with breast cancer who had completed one year of treatment and had not presented or been referred to psychiatry experienced clinically relevant anxiety symptoms and depressive symptoms, respectively. A positive relationship was found between depression and anxiety in breast cancer patients (p< 0.05, r=0.68). The level of anxiety was higher in patients who were not sufficiently informed about the disease (p=0.014) and who thought that the partner was behaving more distant (p=0.019). Patients between the ages of 35 and 44 years were found to be more depressive and anxious than those at age 55-65 (p=0.006 and p=0.010, respectively). It was found that primary school graduates were more likely to use "religious coping" (p=0.02) and university graduates were more likely to use "humor" (p=0.04). In addition, "positive reinterpretation" and "planning" attitudes were found to be more common in those with sufficient knowledge of the disease (p=0.045 and p=0.01, respectively). There was a negative correlation between depression and "mental disengagement" (p=0.011) and " active coping" (p=0.008). There was a positive relationship between anxiety and "use of emotional social support" (p=0.038). Conclusion: In our study, sufficient information about the disease and the partner's behavior were found to be associated with anxiety in breast cancer patients, and coping attitudes were found to be effective regarding depression and development of anxiety. Addressing the psychological effects of breast cancer and giving importance to psychosocial interventions and coping attitudes have been considered preventive factors in the development of depression and anxiety.
Reliability and validity of Turkish version of Pediatric Outcome Data Collection Instrument (PODCI) for people with cerebral palsy [Pediatrik Veri Toplama Aracinm (PVTA) Türkçe versiyonunun serebral palsili bireylerde geçerlik ve güvenirliği]
(2013) Keskin Dilbay,Nilüfer; Günel, Kerem Mimtaze; Timuçin, Aktan
Purpose: Assessment of functional health and health related quality of life (HRQL) of children with cerebral palsy (CP) are important for effective rehabilitation practices. Therefore, the present study was aimed to provide a Turkish version of PODCI which is one of the prevalently used HRQL scales in CP, to investigate reliability and validity of the scale for children with CP. Methods: Age range was between 2 and 18 years, 105 children with CP, 48 healthy children and their mothers were recruited for the study subjects were divided into three age groups, i.e. 2-7, 8-12, and 13-18. GMFCS levels, clinical types, demographical and socio-economical data of the cases with CP, PODCI scores and also PedsQL and CHQ PF-50 scores as a gold standard, of participants were recorded. Results: Findings of the reliability of PODCI showed that the internal consistency was acceptable and test-retest reliability was quite high (Alpha=0.93, ICC=0.992). Findings of the validity of the scale indicated that it was highly sensitive in separating children with CP from healthy children (p<0.001). The scale could differ age groups, clinical types and GMFCS groups only in the physical functioning domain (p<0.05). The correlations among subscales of three scales illustrated that the convergent validity was established while divergent validity was low. Conclusion: Turkish version of PODCI is reliable and valid for assessing functional health and HRQL of children with CP.
Detection of memory impairment in a community-based system: A collaborative study
(2013) Kiral, Kahraman; Özge, Aynur; Sungur, Mehmet Emin; Tasdelen, Bahar
The ability to distinguish between older people with cognitive impairment and those who age in a healthy manner is crucial because cognitive impairment may be a precursor to full-blown dementia. Therefore, an early diagnosis of cognitive impairment is important. However, patients are often admitted to a hospital only when they already have a serious cognitive impairment. Consequently, cooperative studies between clinics and community-based organizations may assist hospitals in detecting early cognitive impairment. This article examines how community-based organizations can contribute to the early diagnosis of dementia. A cooperation model between the Neurology Department of Mersin University Hospital and the Mersin branch of the Alzheimer's Association was developed. Trained professionals used a neuropsychological battery to evaluate 50 individuals at the Mersin branch of the Alzheimer's Association in Turkey. Individuals whose performance fell below the average (1 standard deviation or less) were subsequently referred to the hospital. On the basis of the neurological and neuropsychological assessments, 11 participants were placed in the mild cognitive impairment group and 39 were placed in the healthy group. The results suggest that the Standardized Mini-Mental State Examination and the Three Words-Three Shapes Test are useful tools for detecting early memory impairments in a community-based setting.

(2013) Aktan, Timuçin; Uğurlu Sakallı, Nuray
Kalıpyargı İçeriği Modelinin (KİM; Fiske ve ark., 1999; 2002) gruplararası algı literatürü bağlamında değerlendiril- diği gözden geçirme çalışmasında, söz konusu kuramın güçlü ve zayıf noktalarını belirleyerek bu sınırlılıkları aşmak için bağlama duyarlı bir bakış açısı sunmak amaçlanmıştır. Üç bölümden oluşan yazının ilk bölümünde KİM tanıtıla- rak bu kuram bağlamındaki tartışmaların gruplararası algı literatüründeki yeri ele alınmıştır. İkinci bölümde, KİM’in temelini oluşturan yetkinlik ve sevecenlik boyutları incelenerek kuramın önemli sınırlılıkları ortaya konulmuştur. Son bölümde ise, belirlenen bu sınırlılıkları aşabilmek için sosyal bağlamsal bir yaklaşımla gruplararasındaki kar- şılıklı ilişkilerin altı çizilmiştir. Böylece, gruplararası yarışma türünün, gruplararası statü farkının meşruluğunun ve statü farkından kaynaklanan sosyal gerçekliğin sınırlayıcılığının kalıpyargı içeriklerini belirleyen bağlamsal etkenler olabileceği önerilmiştir. Söz konusu etkenler temelinde beş farklı sosyal bağlam tanımlanıp, bu bağlamlarda yetkin- lik ve sevecenlik değerlendirmelerinin nasıl şekilleneceği tartışılmıştır. Son olarak, bağlama duyarlı bakış açısının sınırlılıkları ve gelecek çalışmalar için çıktıları ele alınmıştır.
Effects of Parental Divorcement on Impulsivity in Adolescence
(Klınık Psıkıyatrı Dergısı, 2018) Çakmak, Soner; Gedikli, Hasan; Demirkol, Mehmet Emin; Tamam, Lut
Objective: The impact of parental coexistence on overcoming the adolescence period is being discussed. The aim of this study is to examine if there is a statistically signi-ficant difference in the level of impulse control among the adolescent children of married and divorced couples and to investigate the effect of the socio-demographic characteristics of the divorce process on impulsivity of adolescents. Method: Fifty girls and 50 boys ages of 12-17 with divorced parents, 50 boys and 50 girls with undivorced parents were included in the study. This is a cross-sectional study. The impulse control levels of adolescents were compared with the Barrat Impulsiveness Scale (BIS). The effect of the educational status of the parents, the gender and the age of the adolescent, the parent with whom the adolescent live, time after divorce process on the level of impulse control were examined. The value of p<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between groups in total BIS scores and all subscale scores (p=0,743). In the divorced families, statistically significant difference was found between the time after the divorce and the BIS scores (P=0,002), while there was no statistically significant difference between the education levels of the parents, the parent with whom the adolescent live and the gender of adolescent. Discussion: According to this study, divorce did not effect the impulse control levels of adolescents between 12-17 years. Adolescents aged 6 years or younger in the divorce process were thought to have more impulse control problems than olders. It was thought that evaluation of divorcement and different factors would give better results in studies about impulsivity in adolescence.
Measuring moral imagination
(SOC PERSONALITY RES INC, 2006) Yurtsever, Gülçimen
This study describes the development of a moral imagination (MI) scale. The data were obtained from 491 participants from various organizations. A29-item Likert-type scale of moral imagination was constructed and shown to be free of socially desirable responses. Analyses of moral imagination suggest that three facets of moral imagination can be distinguished empirically as well as theoretically, namely reproductive, creative, and productive. Construct validity was evaluated by expert judges and, overall, was high. Validation data also included correlation with peer ratings. Furthermore, to explore the relation between moral imagination and actual behavior, a case study was conducted in which participants were asked questions to measure their capacity for moral imagination. The subjects who scored high on MI were judged to have a greater capacity than were the subjects who scored low. Empirically, the MI scale was shown to correlate with an internal locus of control, tolerance of ambiguity and empathy. This scale also correlated negatively with Machiavellianism.
