Item Prediction of disability in trigger finger: a cross-sectional and longitudinal study(2023) Namaldi, Seda; Kuru, Cigdem Ayhan; Kuru, Ilhami; 36324191The aim of this prospective study of 55 patients was to analyse the cross-sectional and longitudinal relationship between disability and physical and psychological variables after conservative treatment of trigger finger and to determine the predictive factors for the post-treatment disability score and change in disability score. The primary outcome measure was the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire. Potential predictive factors included pain, number of triggering events, depression, anxiety and kinesiophobia. Disability correlated strongly with anxiety, moderately with pain and depression and weakly with triggering and kinesiophobia. The change in depression score correlated significantly with the change in disability score. Post-treatment pain and anxiety scores accounted for 47% of the explained variance in disability score. Improvement in depression after treatment accounted for 18% of the explained variance in disability change score. Psychological variables appear to be potential predictors of disability.Item Competitive Anxiety And Burnout: A Longitudinal Study(2022) Kelecek, Selen; Koruc, ZiyaBurnout 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.Item Preferred Music Lowers Anxiety Levels and Pain Perception While Promoting Patient Satisfaction in Women Undergoing Ultrasound-guided Breast Biopsy: Randomized Controlled Study(2023) Ozturk, Funda Ulu; Turnaoglu, Hale; Uslu, Nihal; 0000-0003-2782-2824; 35938620Background Image-guided breast biopsies are well accepted, yet stressful procedures for patients in radiology clinics. Purpose To investigate the effect of music on anxiety, pain, and patient satisfaction related to a breast biopsy session. Material and Methods After approval of institutional review board and giving informed consent, 93 women scheduled for ultrasound-guided breast biopsy or stereotactic wire localization were prospectively enrolled in this randomized controlled study. Patients were referred into two groups either listening to music of their own choice from three options of genre list during the procedure or not. Immediately before and after the biopsy session, participants were asked to complete questionnaires for measuring anxiety (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory), pain, and patient satisfaction (visual analog scale). Sociodemographic data were described, and the duration was noted at the end. Statistical analysis was made using paired samples t-test, chi-square test, independent samples t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test. Results Except for the duration, demographic characteristics were statistically similar between the two groups. Trait and preprocedural state anxiety scores did not have significant difference between the groups. Both groups showed lowered state anxiety values after the biopsy (P < 0.05) and there was statistically significant reduction in state anxiety levels of music group (10.35 +/- 7.5 music vs. 7 +/- 7.98 control; P = 0.024). Pain perception was fewer (P < 0.05) and patient satisfaction was greater (P < 0.05) through the implementation of music. Conclusion Music intervention reduces anxiety and pain and thereby increases patient satisfaction during ultrasound-guided breast biopsies.Item Anxiety Levels and Changes in Health and Hygiene Behaviors in Mothers of Children with Asthma in Early COVID-19 Lockdown in Turkey(2022) Sancakli, Ozlem; Tuncel, Tuba; Eren Akarcan, Sanem; Kanik, Ali; Ozyurt, Gonca; Ozdogru, Emine Ece; 35290751Objective: The restrictions imposed by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have caused significant changes in people's lives. This study aimed to investigate anxiety levels and changes in health and hygiene behaviors in mothers of children with asthma in early COVID-19 lockdown in Turkey.Materials and Methods: This study was a cross-sectional survey conducted on children with asthma, 6 to 11 years of age, between June 1 and 30, 2020, in Turkey. A sociodemographic data form, health and hygiene behavior form, childhood asthma control test, and state-trait anxiety inventory were administered to the mothers of the children.Results: The asthma group included 123 children (Female: 39.0%) and median age, interquartile range (IQR) [minimum-maximum]: 8.0 (6) [6-12] years; the control group included 88 children (Female: 47.7%) median age, IQR [minimum-maximum]: 8.0 (7) [5-12] years. Increased hygiene behaviors and high compliance with social isolation measures were recorded in the early lockdown, with no difference between the groups. Before the pandemic, the most frequently used cleaning products were general-purpose cleaners. During the early lockdown, however, the most frequently used product was disinfectants and was similar in both groups.In both groups, the rate of using nutritional supplements increased during the pandemic period, but the rate was higher in children with asthma both before and during the early lockdown (P < 0.001). The anxiety levels of the mothers in asthma and control groups were similar.Conclusion: This study is the first in Turkey demonstrating that, in mothers of children with asthma, lifestyle changes related to health and hygiene and anxiety levels are similar to those of other children and their mothers during the early lockdown period of COVID-19 pandemic.Item LEVELS OF DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF MEDICAL STUDENTS(2021) Karagol, Arda; 34718310Background: Medical education is amongst the educational processes with the highest stress load. This study was conducted to determine levels of depression, anxiety and quality of life of medical students in a university hospital. Subjects and methods: Third year and sixth year medical students which accepted to be participate to the study and sign informed consent form are included in the study. Data was evaluated by descriptive statistics. Results: Totally 81 students of which 41 are third year, and 40 are sixth year students are included to the study. 79% of participants are women and 100% are unmarried. Accordingly, Beck Depression Inventory, ratio of those who have (any level of) depression are 58.5% in third year students and 55% in sixth year students. Ratio of those who have moderate to severe anxiety is 34.1% in third year students and 25% in sixth year students. Differences between them are not statistically significant. Regarding subscales of life quality; sixth year students have higher scores on general health perception then third year students. Medical students have lower scores in; difficulty in physical role, difficulty in emotional role, energy, mental health, social functioning and perception on general health when compared to the average scores of general public. Conclusions: In this study medical students are having a lower quality of life regarding most of the subscales when compared to normal population and both third year and sixth year students are found to be having high depression and anxiety levels. As medical training is a hard and long road to go, it is important to encourage medical students to get Psychiatric support when needed. This is important for them to maintain their mental health.Item Psychological domain of quality of life, depression and anxiety levels inin vitrofertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles of women with endometriosis: a prospective stud(2020) Ceran, M. U.; Yilmaz, N.; Ugurlu, E. N.; Erkal, N.; Ozgu-Erdinc, A. S.; Tasci, Y.; Gulerman, H. C.; Engin-Ustun, Y.; 0000-0003-1923-2373; 32635772Objective To evaluate the psychological domain of quality of life (PDQoL), anxiety and depression levels of infertile women with endometriosis versus non endometriosis who applied for Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART). Method This prospective case-control study compromised a total of 105 women who applied for IVF/ICSI program. Ninety-three women were divided into two groups as endometriosis (n = 37) and non-endometriosis (n = 56) after 12 patients who refused to participate in the study were excluded. The WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire, Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventory scales were used to determine the psychological stress levels. Results A significant difference was found between the endometriosis and non-endometriosis groups regarding depression scores, while no significant difference was reported with respect to PDQoL and anxiety (p < 0.01,p = 0.897 andp = 0.058, respectively). A weak but significant correlation was observed between depression and endometriosis (CC: 0.435,p < 0.01). Though anxiety scores were found to be higher in endometriosis group this can not reach statistical significance (p = 0.058). Impact of PDQoL, depression and anxiety scores on pregnancy outcomes were found to be insignificant. Conclusion Women with endometriosis seem to be more susceptible to depression and anxiety than women without endometriosis. Although infertility treatment outcomes are not found to be significantly affected, the impact of depression and anxiety over ART treatment success merit further research.Item Association of Domestic Violence Against Women With Sociodemographic Factors, Clinical Features, and Dissociative Symptoms in Patients Who Receive Services From Psychiatric Outpatient Units in Turkey(2020) Kotan, Zeynep; Kotan, Vahap Ozan; Yalvac, Hayriye Dilek; 29294725Domestic 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).Item Levels of depression, anxiety and quality-of-life of kidney and liver donors in a university hospital in Ankara(2019) Karagol, Arda; ABE-8882-2020Objective: The psychosocial assessments of live kidney and liver donor candidates constitutes an important issue whereas many studies has drawn attention to the donation's correlation with anxiety and depression as well as the unwanted psychosocial outcomes. There are studies that find psychiatric disorders that appear in the post-operative period after donation lower or higher compared to the normal population. Altruism is considered as a concept that ensures vital stress management and is defined as 'the degree of obligation felt in situations where you are supposed to help others'. It is believed that altruistic behavior is a mature defense mechanism, which prevents the development of psychiatric disorders such as anxiety disorder and depression and protects the individual against those psychiatric disorders. Methods: Our study included 51 participants who were donors of kidney and liver at Ankara Hospital of Baskent University between the years 2016 and 2017, and who accepted to participate in the study. The participants were given the Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, SF-36 Quality-of-Life Scale and a Sociodemographic Questionnaire. Results: When the donors who participated in the study were compared with the Turkish society standards, the patient group was found to obtain significantly higher scores than the society average in the quality-of-life subscales 'physical function', 'difficulty in physical role', 'mental health' and 'pain', therefore, they were found to have a higher quality-of-life. Among the donors who participated in our study, the rate of those with moderate to severe depression was found to be 3.9% and of those with moderate to severe anxiety was found to be 'zero'. Discussion: Organ donation may be an altruistic behavior acting as a defensive mechanism that protects the individual against mental disorders such as depression and anxiety and increasing the quality-of-life.Item Individual Differences in Anxiety and Worry, Not Anxiety Disorders, Predict Weakened Executive Control: Preliminary Evidence(2019) Booth, Robert W.; Tekes, Burcu; 0000-0002-6601-1023; K-2947-2014People high in anxiety tend to be low in executive control. However, it is unclear whether this control impairment is more associated with high anxiety, or with anxiety disorder. We collected an internet sample of 29 individuals with diagnosed anxiety disorders and 97 without anxiety disorders, and measured their state and trait anxiety, worry, attentional control and cognitive failures using self-report measures. State anxiety, trait anxiety and worry all significantly predicted attentional control and cognitive failures. Having an anxiety disorder was not related to either attentional control or cognitive failures once anxiety or worry was controlled. Contemporary theories suggest poor executive control is a risk factor for anxiety disorders; these preliminary results suggest poor executive control may be a risk factor for high anxiety, but is not directly related to having a diagnosable anxiety disorder. Key words: anxiety, worry, executive control, attentional control, cognitive failures.
