    Introduction: The aim of this study was to reveal the effect of the individual's lifestyle and personality traits on the disease process in patients with sepsis and to have clinical predictions about these patients. Materials and Methods: The study was planned as a multi-center, prospective, observational study after obtaining the approval of the local ethics committee. Patients were hospitalized in different intensive care units. Besides demographics and personal characteristics of patients, laboratory data, length of hospital and ICU stay, and mortality was recorded. Two hundred and fifty-nine patients were followed up in 11 different intensive care units. Mortality rates, morbidities, blood analyses, and personality traits were evaluated as primary outcomes. Results: Of the 259 patients followed up, mortality rates were significantly higher in men than in women (p=0.008). No significant difference was found between the patients' daily activity, tea and coffee consumption, reading habits, smoking habits, blood groups, atopy histories and mortality rates. Examining the personal traits, it was seen that 90 people had A-type personality structure and 51 (56.7%) of them died with higher mortality rate compared to type B (p=0.038). There was no difference between personalities, in concomitant ARDS occurrence, need for sedation and renal replacement therapies. Conclusion: Among individuals diagnosed with sepsis/septic shock, mortality increased significantly in patients with A-type personality trait compared to other personality traits. These results showed that personal traits may be useful in predicting the severity of disease and mortality in patients with sepsis/septic shock.

    Intensive Care Psychological Assessment Tool (IPAT): Turkish validity and reliability study
    (2019) Duman, Berker; Kotan, Zeynep; Kotan, Vahap Ozan; Mutlu, Nevzat Mehmet; Doganay Erdogan, Beyza; Sayar Akaslan, Damla; Tatli, Safiye Zeynep; Kumbasar, Hakan; 31408296
    Background/aim: It is of crucial importantance to be able to detect acute psychological distress in patients. 'the Intensive Care Psychological Assessment Tool (IPAT) was developed for this purpose in intensive care units. This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of IPAT. Materials and methods: In total, 98 patients were included. To assess concurrent validity, the Intensive Care Experiences Scale (ICES) and the Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale were performed. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to estimate internal consistency. Interitem and item-total score correlations were also performed. Sensitivity and specificity were derived for concurrent anxiety and depression. Results: The internal reliability was good. Cronbach's a = 0.85. Items were well-correlated, with an average interitem correlation of 0.38. The concurrent validity of IPAT was good. Correlation between IPAT scores, anxiety, depression, ICES, and the diagnosis of delirium were as follows, respectively: r = 0.61, P < 0.01, r 0.54, P < 0.01, r = -0.66, P < 0.01, r = 0.37, P < 0.01. With a cutoff score of > 6, IPAT showed 85% sensitivity and 61% specificity to detect concurrent anxiety, and 74% sensitivity and 82% specificity to detect concurrent depression [AUC = 0.77 (95% CI, 0.68-0.87) and 0.84 (95% CI, 0.76-0.92), respectively). Conclusion: The Turkish version of IPAT was found to be a valid and reliable tool to assess acute psychological distress among patients in intensive care units.
