    (2022) Kelecek, Selen; Koruc, Ziya
    Burnout has become an important topic in people's life & life quality. This is a personal and complex concept that includes different expectations, perceptions and exhaustion of physical, psychological and social situations. This study investigated the changes in competitive anxiety, coping and athlete burnout during a season. A hundred and fifty- six female (Xage =21.28 yr, SD =5.34) and 147 male (X-age=22.77 yr, SD=5.92) totally 303 volleyball players (X-age=22 yr, SD=5.66) voluntarily participated in this study. All participants were asked to respond to Athlete Burnout Questionnaire, Sport Competition Anxiety Test and Inventory of Coping Strategies in Competitive Sports. Correlation analysis and Repeated Measures ANOVA assessed the relationship and changes between the variables during the season. Results indicated that athletes' competitive anxiety levels, burnout levels and coping strategies scores change over the three measures. Like this outcome, at the beginning of the season burnout positively correlated with competitive anxiety, but negatively correlated with coping strategies. While in the middle of the season, there is only positive correlation between burnout and competitive anxiety; at the end of the season there is still positive relation between burnout and competitive anxiety and addition to this, competitive anxiety showed positive correlation with coping strategies. Repeated measures ANOVA showed that there were statistically significant differences in competitive anxiety, coping strategies and athlete burnout between three measures. In conclusion, it can be said that, competitive anxiety and athlete burnout are connected during the season.

    The İmportance of Mentalization, Coping Mechanisms, and Perceived Stress in The Prediction of Resilience of Healthcare Workers
    (2023) Alici, Yasemin Hosgoren; Hasanli, Jamal; Saygili, Gorkem; Kocak, Orhan Murat; 36217606
    Resilience is the process of overcoming stressors. Being able to examine the effect of the Covid epidemic on healthcare workers (HCWs) has provided us a unique opportunity to understand the impact of trauma on resilience. We aimed to investigate the relationship between stress, mentalization, and an individual's coping capacity against a real risk (Covid-19) and evaluate the predictors of resilience. 302 HCWs have enrolled in the study and completed an online questionnaire assessing demographics, perceived stress, resilience, coping, and mentalization. We utilized statistical analysis together with a Random Forest classifier to analyze the interaction between these factors extensively. We applied ten times ten-fold cross-validation and plotted Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) with the calculated Area Under the Curve(AUC) score and identify the most important features. Our experiments showed that the Perceived stress scale has the strongest relationship with resilience. The subject's awareness level of emotional states is an important factor that determines the level of resilience. Coping styles such as the decision of giving up is also a crucial indicator. We conclude that being aware of the risks and the mental states are the dominant factors behind the resilience levels of healthcare workers under pandemic conditions.

    (2021) Yildirim, Berna Botan; Torun, Serife; Akcay, M. Sule; 0000-0002-6530-6153; ABF-1652-2021
    This cross-sectional study aims to evaluate the prevalence of smoking among healthcare workers and to investigate the anxiety level of healthcare professionals who have knowledge of COVID-19-related mortality and morbidity and are burdened by the anxiety and stress caused by the pandemic, and its effect on their smoking habits. An online questionnaire was used to facilitate the participation of busy healthcare workers. The survey was shared on all health platforms and various social network groups (Facebook, WhatsApp, etc.) for doctors (specialists, physicians, residents, dentists), nurses, and all other healthcare workers This questionnaire consisted of two tests, namely the Beck Anxiety Scale (BAS) and the Fagerstrom Nicotine Dependence Test (FNDT), and sociodemographic questions. A total of 806 healthcare workers, of whom 74.2% were physicians, 8.8% were midwives/nurses, and 15.1% were assistant health workers, participated in the study. Among all the participants, 501 (62.1%) were nonsmokers, 305 (37.9%) were smokers, and 8(1%) resumed smoking during the pandemic. In terms of the smoking habits of the participants during the pandemic period, 34% of the women who smoked had increased their amount of smoking. With respect to the smoking cessation rates of the participants, the physicians had quit or reduced smoking more than the other participants. The rate of smoking cessation in our study was 2.23%. Among those who quit, 88.8% were doctors, and the rate of quitting among them was 7.8%.
