Review The Safety and Efficacy of Psychosocial Adherence Interventions in Young People With Early Psychosis: a Systematic Review(Mdpi, 2022) Dikec, Gul; Brown, Ellie; Bressington, Daniel; Thompson, Andrew; Gray, RichardBackground: The role of antipsychotic medication in supporting young people in their recovery from early psychosis is complex and controversial. It is common for young people, often given antipsychotic medication for the first time, to express a choice to stop treatment, potentially increasing the risk of relapse and admission to hospital. Our systematic review aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of psychosocial interventions to enhance antipsychotic medication adherence in young people with early psychosis. Methods: We reviewed studies using any experimental design of psychosocial interventions specifically focused on enhancing adherence with antipsychotic medication in young people with early psychosis. Cochrane CENTRAL Register, Medline, Embase, PsychINFO and CINAHL were searched on 19 November 2021 without time restriction. Studies were assessed for quality using the Effective Public Health Practice Project Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies. Results: Our initial search identified 3469 documents. Following title, abstract and full-text screening, we included three published studies and one unpublished experimental study that met our inclusion criteria. Outcome data were available for three studies that tested adherence-coping-education, adherence therapy, and a health dialogue intervention, all having a positive effect on medication adherence. None of the trials reported data on the safety of the experimental interventions. Conclusion: There is a paucity of evidence from high-quality randomized controlled trials that establish the safety and effectiveness of any type of psychosocial intervention to enhance medication adherence in young people with early psychosis. Further high-quality trials are warranted. This review was registered on the Open Science Framework prior to undertaking out initial searches.Article Development of the Medical Adherence Scale in Adolescents Using Psychotropic Medication and Evaluation of Validity and Reliability in Turkish Population(Elsevier Science inc, 2024) Dikec, Gul; Bilac, Oznur; Sonkaya, Hilal Isleyen; Aydemir, OmerPurpose: Although treatment non -adherence is relatively high among adolescents, there is a need for standardized measurement tools that measure adherence to treatment in adolescents. This study aimed to develop a new measurement tool to assess the adherence to treatment of adolescents with mental disorders who use psychotropic medication. Methods: The data of this methodologically designed study were collected between 01.04.2022 and 01.07.2023 in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry of a university hospital in the Aegean Region of Turkey. The Medication Adherence Reporting Scale and Adolescent Medical Adherence Scale draft form were used for data collection. The scale items were formed from the themes, sub -themes, and statements in the qualitative study that the researchers had conducted with adolescents with mental disorders and their parents, clinicians' experiences, and systematic reviews and meta -synthesis in the literature. The study sample consisted of 95 adolescents with mental disorders. Exploratory factor analysis was performed with Varimax rotation to determine the factorial construct validity of the scale. Internal consistency analyses were performed in reliability analyses, and Cronbach's alpha coeff icient was used. Results: The mean age of the adolescents was 14.18 years (1.81); 50.5% were male, and 96.8% were attending school. When the mental disorder diagnoses were analyzed, 65.3% of the adolescents were being followed up with Attention De ficit and Hyperactivity Disorder diagnoses, and 58.8% were using stimulants. The 12 -item form of the Adolescent Medical Adherence Scale was found to have a three -factor structure with item -total correlation values ranging between 0.26 and 0.66, and these factors were named functionality, responsibility in treatment, and medication adherence. Factor loadings ranged between 0.44 and 0.86, and the items explained 62.98% of the total variance. The internal consistency coef ficients of the scale were between 0.69 and 0.83 for the subscales and 0.82 for the total scale. Conclusion: Based on the analysis and results used in this study, the Adolescent Medical Adherence Scale is a valid and reliable new measurement tool. Practice implications: This tool can be used in clinical settings to evaluate adolescents' treatment adherence and prognosis. Clinical studies conducted with adolescents can also determine adherence to treatment and affecting factors. (c) 2024 Elsevier Inc.

Berna; Oban, Volkan; Dikec, GulThe aim of this study was to evaluate hate speech in Turkish LGBTI+-related tweets during a one-month period of artificial intelligence-based sentiment analyses. Turkish tweets related to LGBTI+, were retrieved using Python library Tweepy and were evaluated by sentiment analysis. The researchers then performed a qualitative analysis of the most frequently liked and retweeted tweets (n = 556). Sentiment analysis revealed that 69.5% of tweets were negative, 23.3% were neutral, and 7.2% were positive. The qualitative analysis was grouped under seven themes: LGBTI+ Club; Terrorism and Terrorist Organization Membership; Perversion, Illness, Immorality; Presence in History; Religious References; Insults; and Humiliation. The results of this study show that anti-LGBTI+ hate speech in Turkey is significant in terms of both quality and quantity. As LGBTI+ individuals are at risk for excess mental distress and disorders, it is important to understand the risks and other factors that ameliorate stress and contribute to mental health in social media.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Do We Learn To Internalize Stigma From Our Parents? Comparison of Internalized Stigmatization in Adolescents Diagnosed With Adhd and Their Parents(Mdpi, 2022) Dikec, Gul; Bilac, Oznur; Kardelen, Cansin; Sapmaz, Sermin YalinThis study compared internalized stigmatization levels of adolescents diagnosed with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with those of their parents. The study's data were collected from 107 adolescents diagnosed with ADHD and their parents between July 2020 and March 2021. The adolescents were followed up in the child and adolescent psychiatry outpatient clinic of a university hospital in western Turkey. The information forms for adolescents and parents, the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale-Adolescent Form (ISMI-AF) and the Parental Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale (PISMI), were used to collect the data. There was no statistically significant difference between the total scores of internalized stigma and subscale mean scores of the adolescents and their parents (p > 0.05); only the subscale scores for stereotype endorsement were found to be significantly different (p < 0.05). PISMI scores affected ISMI-AF scores, which can be interpreted as parents' perspectives and attitudes toward stigmatization affecting adolescents. For ADHD, whose frequency is increasing daily, intervention studies should be conducted to reduce adolescents' and parents' internalized stigma and to enhance the educational outcomes of adolescents.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 14Perceptions and Experiences of Adolescents With Mental Disorders and Their Parents About Psychotropic Medications in Turkey: a Qualitative Study(Mdpi, 2022) Dikec, Gul; Kardelen, Cansin; Gonzalez, Laura Pilz; Mohammadzadeh, Marjan; Bilac, Oznur; Stock, ChristianeThis descriptive phenomenological study aimed to evaluate the perception and experiences of adolescents with mental disorders and their parents about the use of and adherence to psychotropic medications. A total of 12 semi-structured interviews with adolescents between the ages of 12 to 18 who were attending an outpatient psychiatric clinic for children and adolescents and 12 interviews with parents were conducted between October 2021 and January 2022 in Manisa, Turkey. Colaizzi's phenomenological interpretation method was used for the analysis of the participants' statements. Our study highlights the main positive effects of psychotropic medication and barriers to medication intake and adherence. Positive effects included symptom management and health improvement. Barriers varied from those directly linked to medication effects (e.g., negative side effects or lack of perceived effect) to personal barriers (e.g., forgetting to take medication or feelings of not being oneself due to medication intake) and societal barriers. In general, the barriers were reflected in concerns related to long-term consequences, such as medication dependence, and in concerns about diminished life prospects. Possible recommendations to improve the use of and adherence to psychotropic medication among adolescents include educating adolescents and parents not only about treatment options but also about mental disorders.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 1Analysis of Substance Use and Mental Disorder Diagnoses in Adolescents With a History of Delinquency: a Cross-Sectional Study(Springer, 2024) Baysan Arabaci, Leyla; Dikec, Gul; Tas Soylu, Gulsenay; Bilac, Oznur; Uzunoglu, Gulcin; Ayakdas Dagli, DilekThis study aimed to evaluate substance use and comorbid mental disorders in delinquent adolescents presenting to a child and adolescent psychiatry outpatient clinic. This study included 47 adolescents aged 15-18 years and had a history of delinquency. Data were collected using the Addiction Profile Index Adolescent Form (API-A) and an information form. Results indicated that the adolescents' mean age is 16.11 +/- 1.05 years, 78.7% had committed crimes against property and 34.0% against the person, and 34.0% were also victims of crime. Mean API-A total scores indicated that their level of substance use was low. In addition, mean API-A total scores showed significant differences according to the adolescents' migration status, age, economic status, school attendance, mental disorder diagnosis, duration of mental disorder, and type of offense (p < 0.05). The benefit provided by timely and appropriate psychosocial interventions may have a key role in solving this problem for adolescents and improving their future as adults.Article Çocuk ve Ergen Psikiyatrisinde Elektrokonvulsif Tedavi(2022) Dikec, Gul; Özer, DuyguÇocukluk ve ergenlik döneminde görülen ciddi ruhsal bozuklukların tedavisinde kullanılan etkili yöntemlerden biri elektrokonvülsif tedavi (EKT)dir. Çocuk ve ergen psikiyatrisinde EKT uygulamasının etki ve yan etki açısından yetişkinlerden farklı sonuçlar elde edilmemesine rağmen; ruh sağlığı çalışanlarının, EKT ile ilgili sınırlı bilgi düzeyi ve EKT’e yönelik olumsuz tutumlarından dolayı çocuk ve ergenlerde EKT’yi tercih etmekten çekinebilmektedirler. Çocuk ve ergen psikiyatrisinde EKT uygulaması ile ilgili verilerin sıklıkla olgu sunumları ile sınırlı olması, çocuk ve ergenlerde EKT uygulamasının her yönü ile değerlendirildiği bir yazıya ulaşılamaması nedeniyle, bu derleme ile çocuk ve ergenlerde EKT uygulaması, EKT’nin yasal boyutu ve hemşirelik bakımı konusunda güncel literatüre katkı sağlanacağı düşünülmektedir.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Evaluation of the Use of Diverse Mental Health Simulation in Nursing Students' Learning Experience an International Multisite Study(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2021) Ozkara, Eda; Dikec, Gul; Ata, Elvan Emine; Sendir, MerdiyeBackground: Simulated patients (SPs) in mental health nursing education provide a unique approach to assist student development in complex assessment skills. Purpose: The purpose of this international multisite study was to evaluate the use of two diverse mental health SP simulation scenarios on nursing students' satisfaction and self-confidence in learning to care for patients with mental health disorders in the United States (n = 70) and Turkey (n = 90). Methods: A multisite cross-sectional study design was used. Outcome measures included the Student Satisfaction and Self-confidence in Learning Scale and the adapted Simulation Effectiveness Tool Modified. Results were analyzed using independent I tests. Results: While students in the United States reported higher perceived self-confidence and satisfaction in learning, both student populations found the intervention effective to their learning (P<.05). Conclusion: Using SPs in mental health education allow students to practice their assessment skills learned in classroom and transfer them to the clinical area.Article Citation - Scopus: 1A Sentiment Analysis of Turkish Tweets Shared in Nursing Week During the Pandemic(Association of Executive Nurses, 2022) Doğan, M.B.; Oban, V.; Dikeç, G.Aim: This study aimed to conduct an artificial intelligence-based sentiment analysis of Turkish tweets about nursing during the nursing week during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: This is a retrospective descriptive survey. Between May 4 and May 19, 2021, Turkish tweets were analyzed using the Python library Tweepy. The search terms “nurse, nursing, and nursing week” were used to analyzed tweets for their positivity, neutrality, or negativity. Results: The analysis of 24,944 tweets revealed that tweets frequently express neutral emotions. The negative tweets frequently discussed issues such as societal gender perception, professionalism, burnout during the pandemic, salaries, inadequate nursing workforce, inequalities, violence against healthcare professionals, and the deaths of nurses. Conclusions: Social media applications can be recommended as important tools for raising awareness of the nursing profession identity, professionalism, visibility, and the perception of society towards nursing, nursing problems, and recommendations for solutions. © 2022 The Authors.

Bu çalışma bir üniversite hastanesinin psikiyatri kliniğinde ayaktan takip edilen hastaların fiziksel sağlıklarının belirlenmesi amacıyla kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı araştırma deseninde yapıldı. Yöntem: Çalışmaya 137 birey katıldı. Çalışmada verilerin toplanmasında Bilgi Formu kullanıldı. Hastaların fiziksel sağlık davranışlarının değerlendirilmesinde; madde kullanımı, sağlığı geliştiren davranışlar, egzersiz, beslenme, uyku, öz bakım, ağız hijyeni, boşaltım ve cinsel yaşamlarına ilişkin sorular soruldu ve hastaların boy, kilo, beden kitle indeksi, yaşam bulguları ölçüldü. Bulgular: Bu çalışmaya katılan hastaların %21,9’unun bir fiziksel hastalığı olduğu, günlük ortalama 8,24±2,24 saat uyudukları, hastaların %59,9’unun uyandığında kendini dinlenmiş hissetmediği bulundu. Katılımcıların boşaltım alışkanlıkları değerlendirildiğinde %55,5’inin günde bir kez defakasyona çıktığı belirlendi. Katılımcıların %55,5’inin cinsel yaşamlarından memnun olmadığı, %80,3’ünün herhangi bir kontraseptif yöntem kullanmadığı belirlendi. Hastaların ağrı durumları değerlendirildiğinde %33,6’sının ağrı yaşadığı; en sık yaşanan ağrının %13,9 ile baş ağrısı olduğu belirlendi. Katılımcıların Beden Kitle İndekslerinin (BKI) ortalama 25,26±4,94 olduğu belirlendi. Sonuç: Ruhsal bozukluğu olan bireylerin fiziksel sağlıklarının geliştirilmesinde, hastaların sağlıklı yaşam alışkanlıklarının tanımlanması, davranış değişikliği yaratan psikososyal müdahalelerden yararlanılması önerilebilir.
