    (2020) Kotan, Zeynep; Kotan, Vahap Ozan; Yalvac, Hayriye Dilek; 29294725
    Domestic violence (DV) against women is a serious problem with its negative effects on all family members and the society. Women exposed to DV not only have physical but also psychological damage. This study investigates prevalence of DV and its relations with some descriptive and clinical features in a psychiatric outpatient population in Turkey. A total of 277 female outpatients were included in the study. After a semistructured clinical interview, they were assessed by sociodemographic data form, DV questionnaire, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS), Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES), and Somatoform Dissociation Questionnaire (SDQ). Prevalence of exposure to DV by intimate partner is found to be 58.8% (n= 163). The current study provided strong evidence that occupation status of the woman, education level of the partner, and family type are predictors of DV. Another predictor of DV exists where the child is battered by either parent. Prevalence of depression, conversion disorder, and other somatoform disorders are higher in women exposed to DV. These women also have higher scores from HDRS, HARS, DES, and SDQ compared with female patients who have not experienced DV (p< .001). Number of women scoring above cutoff levels for DES and SDQ were significantly higher in women exposed to DV (p< .001).

    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.
