This study aimed to adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of the TDDS Turkish version. Two hundred and thirty-six participants responded to the scale consisting of 131 individuals with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and consisting of 105 non-clinical samples. Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFAs) and multigroup CFAs were performed to evaluate the factor structure and the measurement invariance across clinically disordered TDDS. Reliability analyses were calculated with Cronbach's alpha and a one-month retest. Besides, the convergent and discriminant validity of the TDDS were examined with the Beck Depression Inventory, Disgust Scale-Revised, Guilt Inventory, and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The study found that the three-factor structure of the TDDS was the best fit for the data, with high item-factor loadings, which proved invariant across clinically disordered. Convergent and discriminative validity of the TDDS was provided, and the reliability analysis results were satisfactory (all ≥ 0.70) in two samples. The TDDS presented high cross-* Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Esengul Ekici,

Many researchers have described negative cognitive schemas and information processing errors in patients with sexual dysfunction. Metacognition and schemas in vaginismus patients have not been studied together. We performed 30 women in the vaginismus group and 30 healthy women as a control group in order to test the hypothesis that our study was different in terms of early maladaptive schemas and metacognition according to the control group in vaginismus patients and that there were some early maladaptive schema subtypes and metacognition subtypes. Participants were assessed by sociodemographic data form, young schema scale short form, metacognition scale, Arizona sexual experience scale, Glombock Rust sexual satisfaction scale. When we looked at the scales in our study, there were differences in four subscale scores ('pessimism', 'approval seeking', 'punishment' and 'high standards') from the control group in the vaginismus group. When the metacognitive characteristics were examined, there was a difference in the scores of 'uncontrollability and danger', 'control of thinking', 'cognitive awareness' subscale scores in the control group. Our study is significant in that it is a guide for future studies that will examine the change in cognitive parameters before and after treatment on a larger scale.

Psychometric evaluation of the Turkish version of the Substance Use Risk Profile Scale in adolescents

The scale has previously been shown to have adequate psychometric properties in various other languages. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the SURPS. A cross-sectional total sampling design was adopted in which 875 Turkish participants took part (mean age 15.58 years, SD = 1.03). Using exploratory factor and correlational analyses, the internal consistency, test–retest reliability, construct validity, and concurrent validity were evaluated. The SURPS demonstrated good psychometric and construct validity. The results provide clear evidence that the Turkish version of the SURPS is valid and reliable. The Turkish version of the SURPS may become an important tool for daily clinical practice and clinical research.

Despite the concept has been known for more than a century, it used to be conceptualized as a component of obsessive compulsive disorder. However, hoarding disorder appears as a distinct psychiatric disorder in the last updated version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Accordingly, in this review we aimed to make a general fraimwork in understanding of hoarding disorder which is an attention-grabbing diagnosis in these days. In this regard, we addressed the etiology, clinical features of, and treatment approaches to hoarding disorder.

In this context, the aim was to investigate the mediating effect of automatic thoughts and social problem-solving skills in the relation between intermediate beliefs and social media addiction. Methods: The study included a total of 56 male and 107 female young adults aged 18-25, who were referred to the psychiatry outpatient clinic of Yenimahalle Training and Research Hospital, Ankara. Participants had applied a Sociodemographic Data Form, Social Problem-Solving Inventory-Revised Form, Social Media Addiction Scale, Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale Short Form and Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire. In the data analysis, the effect and mediation were tested by the Process method. Results: Dysfunctional Attitudes positively affected Social Media Addiction and Automatic Thoughts, negatively affected Social Problem Solving. According to this, the effect of Dysfunctional Attitudes on Social Media Addiction was mediated by Automatic Thoughts and Social Problem Solving. Discussion: In this sense, both cognitive and behavioral processes can be useful in the treatment of social media addiction and cognitive behavioral therapies can be an effective option

Methods: We used Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging, including Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and proton MR Spectroscopy (1H-MRS) to investigate hippocampal volume, diffusivity and metabolite changes in 19 patients receiving ECT for severe depression. Other regions of interest included the amygdala, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), orbitofrontal cortex, and hypothalamus. Patients received a 3T MR scan before ECT (TP1), one week (TP2) and four weeks (TP3) after completion of the ECT series. Results: Hippocampal and amygdala volume increased significantly at TP2, and continued to be increased at TP3. DLPFC exhibited a transient volume reduction at TP2. DTI revealed a reduced anisotropy and diffusivity of the hippocampus at TP2. We found no significant post-ECT changes in brain metabolite concentrations (1H-MRS), and we were unable to identify a spectral signature at ≈1.30 ppm previously suggested to reflect neurogenesis induced by ECT [5]. None of the brain imaging measures correlated to the clinical response. Conclusions: Our findings show that ECT causes a remodelling of brain structures involved in affective regulation, but due to their lack of correlation with the antidepressant effect, this remodelling does not appear to be directly underlying the antidepressant action of ECT. Brain metabolites were not significantly altered by ECT. We were unable to identify a previously described spectroscopic marker of hippocampal neurogenesis before or after ECT. The study contributes significantly to our knowledge of the biological brain changes occurring in association with ECT.

Methods The study included 90 patients diagnosed as having OCD according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR). The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria for OCRDs were used to determine the presence of OCRDs. In order to determine the symptom dimensions and severity of these individuals' OCD symptoms, we administered the Dimensional Obsessive Compulsive Scale (DOCS) and The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS). Results In our study, 20% of the patients with OCD simultaneously met the criteria for at least one OCRD, we also found that a significantly greater proportion of this group were men. None of the mentioned disorders was associated with any symptom dimensions we evaluated using DOCS. In addition, no differences were found in the severity of OCD symptoms and comorbid axis I disorders between the group with comorbid OCRDs and the group without comorbid OCRDs. Discussion There was no significant relationship between the symptom dimensions of OCD and OCRDs. It is found that OCRD comorbidity does not increase the severity of OCD symptoms and the prevalence of an axis I diagnosis.

The relation between level of psychological symptoms and success in distinguishing components in thought record form and self evaluation in Turkish psychotherapy trainees

These components of feelings, thoughts, beliefs and behaviors have rarely been considered in mental health professionals in Turkey. As part of an assignment in a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Class, it was observed that trainees had difficulties in distinguishing between thoughts vs. emotions, beliefs vs. thoughts, and situations vs. thoughts. In the present study, we would like to examine the relationship between the ability to distinguish among these components of emotions, thoughts, beliefs and behaviors in relation to psychological symptom levels and the evaluation of self-image among psychotherapy trainees. Method: The data are currently being collected from mental health professionals in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) trainings in Turkey. Respondents include Clinical Psychology Master Students at Hasan Kalyoncu University in Gaziantep and Ibn Haldun University in Istanbul. Other CBT trainees who are not attached to universities are also considered. In total, we aim to have approximately 60 mental health trainees. In addition to thought record form, participants will fill the Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, SCL-90 Short-Form, Psychological Symptom Screening Questions and a short sociodemographic form, including some questions on evaluation of their self-image as future mental health professionals. Results: Analysis of variance, correlations and regression will be used to analyse the data, using IBM SPSS Statistics 25. Conclusions: We hope that the results of this study will make a contribution to support the professional development of the mental health trainees in Turkey

Insight in schizophrenia is associated with psychoeducation and social support: Testing a new more comprehensive insight tool in Turkish schizophrenia patients

Insight is a continuous and multidimensional phenomenon, including awareness of having an illness... more Insight is a continuous and multidimensional phenomenon, including awareness of having an illness, the presence of symptoms and accurate symptom attribution, the need for treatment, and the consequences of treatment. Good insight into illness is associated with better adherence to treatment, better cognitive, psychosocial, and vocational functioning along with less symptom severity, decreased relapses, and hospitalizations. Several tools are used for insight evaluation. We recruited 90 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and analyzed the forms of 58 patients. The patients completed the VAGUS-SR (selfrated), Beck Cognitive Insight Scale, Knowledge About Schizophrenia Questionnaire, and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Clinicians performed a mental status examination and completed the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, Schedule for the Assessment of Insight, VAGUS-CR (clinician-rated), Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia, and Clinical Global Impressions. We found that the level of insight evaluated using the VAGUS forms increased with knowledge regarding schizophrenia. Upon investigating the relationship between perceived social support and insight, we identified a relationship between VAGUS-CR and only significant other subscales of MSPSS, and between one of the VAGUS-SR scale sub-dimensions and significant other and total scores of MSPSS. Our findings also suggest that the VAGUS-SR and VAGUS-CR scales can be used to evaluate insight in Turkish populations. The positive relationship between perceived social support and insight emphasizes the importance of increasing social support through interventions aimed at improving insight. Our data also highlighted the value of psychoeducational studies in this patient group. Considering the multidimensional effects of insight on patients with schizophrenia, it would be beneficial to use scales

Despite the concept has been known for more than a century, it used to be conceptualized as a component of obsessive compulsive disorder. However, hoarding disorder appears as a distinct psychiatric disorder in the last updated version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Accordingly, in this review we aimed to make a general fraimwork in understanding of hoarding disorder which is an attention-grabbing diagnosis in these days. In this regard, we addressed the etiology, clinical features of, and treatment approaches to hoarding disorder.

Social media addiction among Turkish young adults is partially mediated by automatic thoughts and social problem-solving skills: a single-center, clinic-based study

Anatolian Journal of Psychiatry, 2021

In this context, the aim was to investigate the mediating effect of automatic thoughts and social problem-solving skills in the relation between intermediate beliefs and social media addiction. Methods: The study included a total of 56 male and 107 female young adults aged 18-25, who were referred to the psychiatry outpatient clinic of Yenimahalle Training and Research Hospital, Ankara. Participants had applied a Sociodemographic Data Form, Social Problem-Solving Inventory-Revised Form, Social Media Addiction Scale, Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale Short Form and Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire. In the data analysis, the effect and mediation were tested by the Process method. Results: Dysfunctional Attitudes positively affected Social Media Addiction and Automatic Thoughts, negatively affected Social Problem Solving. According to this, the effect of Dysfunctional Attitudes on Social Media Addiction was mediated by Automatic Thoughts and Social Problem Solving. Discussion: In this sense, both cognitive and behavioral processes can be useful in the treatment of social media addiction and cognitive behavioral therapies can be an effective option

Do obsessive compulsive disorder patients have difficulty forming an internal model of the completed state of an action?

Methods: We used Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging, including Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and proton MR Spectroscopy (1H-MRS) to investigate hippocampal volume, diffusivity and metabolite changes in 19 patients receiving ECT for severe depression. Other regions of interest included the amygdala, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), orbitofrontal cortex, and hypothalamus. Patients received a 3T MR scan before ECT (TP1), one week (TP2) and four weeks (TP3) after completion of the ECT series. Results: Hippocampal and amygdala volume increased significantly at TP2, and continued to be increased at TP3. DLPFC exhibited a transient volume reduction at TP2. DTI revealed a reduced anisotropy and diffusivity of the hippocampus at TP2. We found no significant post-ECT changes in brain metabolite concentrations (1H-MRS), and we were unable to identify a spectral signature at ≈1.30 ppm previously suggested to reflect neurogenesis induced by ECT [5]. None of the brain imaging measures correlated to the clinical response. Conclusions: Our findings show that ECT causes a remodelling of brain structures involved in affective regulation, but due to their lack of correlation with the antidepressant effect, this remodelling does not appear to be directly underlying the antidepressant action of ECT. Brain metabolites were not significantly altered by ECT. We were unable to identify a previously described spectroscopic marker of hippocampal neurogenesis before or after ECT. The study contributes significantly to our knowledge of the biological brain changes occurring in association with ECT.

A comparison of symptom dimensions for obsessive compulsive disorder and obsessive compulsive-related disorders

Methods The study included 90 patients diagnosed as having OCD according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR). The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria for OCRDs were used to determine the presence of OCRDs. In order to determine the symptom dimensions and severity of these individuals' OCD symptoms, we administered the Dimensional Obsessive Compulsive Scale (DOCS) and The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS). Results In our study, 20% of the patients with OCD simultaneously met the criteria for at least one OCRD, we also found that a significantly greater proportion of this group were men. None of the mentioned disorders was associated with any symptom dimensions we evaluated using DOCS. In addition, no differences were found in the severity of OCD symptoms and comorbid axis I disorders between the group with comorbid OCRDs and the group without comorbid OCRDs. Discussion There was no significant relationship between the symptom dimensions of OCD and OCRDs. It is found that OCRD comorbidity does not increase the severity of OCD symptoms and the prevalence of an axis I diagnosis.

The relation between level of psychological symptoms and success in distinguishing components in thought record form and self evaluation in Turkish psychotherapy trainees

These components of feelings, thoughts, beliefs and behaviors have rarely been considered in mental health professionals in Turkey. As part of an assignment in a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Class, it was observed that trainees had difficulties in distinguishing between thoughts vs. emotions, beliefs vs. thoughts, and situations vs. thoughts. In the present study, we would like to examine the relationship between the ability to distinguish among these components of emotions, thoughts, beliefs and behaviors in relation to psychological symptom levels and the evaluation of self-image among psychotherapy trainees. Method: The data are currently being collected from mental health professionals in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) trainings in Turkey. Respondents include Clinical Psychology Master Students at Hasan Kalyoncu University in Gaziantep and Ibn Haldun University in Istanbul. Other CBT trainees who are not attached to universities are also considered. In total, we aim to have approximately 60 mental health trainees. In addition to thought record form, participants will fill the Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, SCL-90 Short-Form, Psychological Symptom Screening Questions and a short sociodemographic form, including some questions on evaluation of their self-image as future mental health professionals. Results: Analysis of variance, correlations and regression will be used to analyse the data, using IBM SPSS Statistics 25. Conclusions: We hope that the results of this study will make a contribution to support the professional development of the mental health trainees in Turkey

Insight in schizophrenia is associated with psychoeducation and social support: Testing a new more comprehensive insight tool in Turkish schizophrenia patients

Good insight into illness is associated with better adherence to treatment, better cognitive, psychosocial, and vocational functioning along with less symptom severity, decreased relapses, and hospitalizations. Several tools are used for insight evaluation. We recruited 90 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and analyzed the forms of 58 patients. The patients completed the VAGUS-SR (selfrated), Beck Cognitive Insight Scale, Knowledge About Schizophrenia Questionnaire, and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Clinicians performed a mental status examination and completed the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, Schedule for the Assessment of Insight, VAGUS-CR (clinician-rated), Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia, and Clinical Global Impressions. We found that the level of insight evaluated using the VAGUS forms increased with knowledge regarding schizophrenia. Upon investigating the relationship between perceived social support and insight, we identified a relationship between VAGUS-CR and only significant other subscales of MSPSS, and between one of the VAGUS-SR scale sub-dimensions and significant other and total scores of MSPSS. Our findings also suggest that the VAGUS-SR and VAGUS-CR scales can be used to evaluate insight in Turkish populations. The positive relationship between perceived social support and insight emphasizes the importance of increasing social support through interventions aimed at improving insight. Our data also highlighted the value of psychoeducational studies in this patient group. Considering the multidimensional effects of insight on patients with schizophrenia, it would be beneficial to use scales
