Article Relationship Between Resilience, Secondary Traumatic Stress and Work-Related Factors Among Mental Health Professionals(Kare Publ, 2025) Dikec, Gul; Tokatlıoglu, Tugba Sahın; Çetinkaya, Saadet; Yasar, SaadetObjectives: Resilience is the ability to maintain or rapidly recover mental health under stress. Mental health profes- sionals are often exposed to workplace stress through violence, emotional labor, restrictions, and traumatic stories. Secondary traumatic stress results from being affected by others’ traumatic experiences. Examining the relationship between resilience and secondary traumatic stress among mental health professionals is therefore essential. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted between February and April 2022. Data were collected using the Per- sonal Information Form, the Resilience Scale for Adults, and the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale. Participants included 212 psychiatric and mental health nurses, 28 psychiatrists, 14 psychologists, and six social workers. Results: A significant positive relationship was found between resilience and secondary traumatic stress. The regres- sion model, including secondary traumatic stress, gender, educational status, willingness to work in mental health, job satisfaction, and unit of work, significantly predicted resilience. Conclusion: Secondary traumatic stress and work-related factors, such as willingness and satisfaction with working in mental health and the unit of work, were found to play an essential role in resilience. Institutional support and supervision may strengthen resilience, while reducing secondary traumatic stress can enhance motivation and well- being. Institutions are recommended to implement strategies that address these factors to improve both resilience and professional effectiveness.Article Evaluation of Dietary Habits and Related Parameters in a Group of Inpatients With Mental Disorders(Kare Publ, 2025) Dikec, Gul; Ata, Elvan Emıne; Özer, Duygu; Çalışkan, Mahinur Betül; Taliskan, Mahinur BetulObjectives: This study aimed to examine the dietary habits and related parameters of individuals with mental disorders. Methods: This study was descriptive and cross-sectional. The sample consisted of 94 individuals hospitalized in the psychiatric clinic of a hospital between June and December 2021. Data were collected using an information form cre- ated by the researchers. Results: Of the participants, 83% were male, and 25.5% had a chronic physical illness. The patients had a diagnosis of mental disorder for an average of 6.07 years. The most common side effect was an increase in appetite (36.4%). Additionally, 76.6% ate within 15 minutes, 93.6% consumed fish once a week or never, and 56.4% never exercised. In- dividuals who consumed home-cooked meals had lower BMI averages than those who consumed fast food. A weakly significant positive correlation was found between BMI and waist circumference averages and the duration of medica- tion use. Individuals with anxiety disorders had lower waist circumference, glucose, and LDL values compared to those with mood disorders. In contrast, individuals with psychotic disorders had significantly lower LDL levels than those diagnosed with mood disorders. Conclusion: Individuals with mental disorders were found to have inadequate and unbalanced nutrition, consuming diets rich in carbohydrates and low in protein, which negatively affected their parameters. Psychiatric nurses should evaluate the dietary habits of patients and provide counseling about healthy nutrition.Article Child And Adolescent Mindfulness Measure Turkish Validity And Reliability Study;(Galenos Publishing House, 2024) Bilaç, Ö.; Dikeç, G.; Akyol, C.K.; Kale, M.K.; Sapmaz, Ş.Y.; Kandemir, H.; Aydemir, Ö.Objectives: The number of studies on mindfulness in children and adolescents has rised in recent years, and it is crucial to evaluate the mindfulness-based interventions applied with standardized measurement tools. This aim of this study was to make the Turkish language validity and reliability of the Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM), which can be used in children and adolescents about mindfulness, which has been very well-liked in recent years, and which has validity and reliability in many languages, and to bring it into our language for the ages of 9-18. Materials and Methods: The total sample of the current study consisted of 156 children and adolescents, 48 of whom were children and adolescents with any mental disorderdiagnosis according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 (DSM-5). One hundred eight of them did not have any mental disorders diagnosis according to DSM-5, who had only periodic problems or were brought for counseling. Results: In the reliability analysis of the scale, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was found to be 0.76 for the whole scale. In test-retest reliability two weeks apart, the two measurements have a strong correlation between the measurements (r=0.634 p<0.0001). Conclusion: In conclusion, our findings show that the Turkish version of the CAMM is a valid and reliable measurement tool for the 9-18 age group. © 2024, Galenos Publishing House.
