    BackgroundProtective isolation remains part of the standard of care for patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant in many places of the world. The consequences of protective isolation include increased anxiety and depressive symptoms.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to determine the effects of creative interventions performed during the protective isolation period on anxiety, depression symptoms, and sleep quality of patients who underwent bone marrow transplantation (BMT).Interventions/MethodsThis study was a randomized, controlled, pre-post pilot design. A total of 20 patients made up the sample group. Participants were randomly assigned to the experimental (n = 9) or control group (n = 11). Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was applied to patients on the first day of admission to the unit and on the day of discharge. Questions prepared by researchers on sleep quantity and quality were administered every day during the patients' hospitalization. The patients in the experimental group carried out creative arts intervention for a total of 60 minutes a day, 3 to 4 days a week, while they were in the unit.ResultsThere was no difference in depression, anxiety, and sleep quality scores between the groups after intervention. However, depression and anxiety scores significantly decreased after the intervention in the experimental group, and sleep quality scores improved significantly.ConclusionCreative arts intervention may be beneficial for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems among patients undergoing BMT.Implications for PracticeCreative arts intervention is effective in coping with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems that patients may experience due to social isolation during the BMT process.

    Objective: Aim of this study is to determine the possible relation between the nutritional status, food choices, eating habits, and Vitamin D supplement use of pregnant women between 20-49 years of age, and depression. Methods: The study was conducted between December 2018 and January 2019, on a total of 150 pregnant women between the ages of 20 and 49, who were admitted to Ankara Ataturk Training and Research Hospital Obstetrics and Gynaecology Policlinic. A questionnaire was used in order to identify personal data of the individuals, levels of serum Vitamin D, depression status, physical changes and other information regarding the changes in food consumption. Dietary habits and food consumption records of the individuals were obtained through face-to-face interviews. Results: A total of 75 individuals participating in the study used Vitamin D, while the other 75 did not. Of the individuals participating in the study, beck depression score median of those who used Vitamin D was found as 9.00 (IQR =6), while it was 33.00 (IQR =13) for those who did not. When the scores were analyzed based on Vitamin D use, it was found that there were statistically significant differences. Conclusions: There is evidence from epidemiological studies that show that vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency is associated with depression. Therefore, it is appropriate to recommend taking vitamin D supplements to prevent or treat depression in risk groups. Larger studies are needed to examine this situation in detail.

    (2020) Yilmaz, Fikriye; Gungor Ozcan, Deniz; Gokoglu, Asena Gokce; Turkyilmaz, Dilara; 0000-0002-4884-3803; AAZ-4775-2020
    This study was conducted to determine the effect of poverty on depression among Turkish children. The data of the study were collected in 2019 by using a questionnaire. A total of 4276 children were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling in Ankara, Turkey. The questionnaire consisted of questions for determining the socio-demographic characteristics and health status of the children. It also included multidimensional poverty indicators (socioeconomic status of the family, Family Welfare Scale [FWS] and UNICEF Child Deprivation Index [U-CDI]) and Child Depression Inventory (CDI). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-Square Test and Binary Logistic Regression Analysis. Of the participants, 50.2% were girls, the average age was 12.94 +/- 1.17 years, and 86.1% lived in a family with a medium level of socio-economic status. FWS scores showed that 37.7% of them had poor economic status. According to U-CDI, 48.1% of the children were deprived. CDI scores indicated that 34.5% of the children were depressed. In this study, living in a single-parent family (OR = 1.470), having a poor or moderate perception of health (OR = 2.095), having any disease (OR = 1.485), deprivation according to CDI (OR = 1.382), going to bed or school hungry from time to time (OR = 1.930) and working to earn money (OR = 2.450) were identified as important risk factors for high depression (p < 0.05). The multiple deprivation status of children is a major determinant of their depression levels.
