    Protocol Registration and Reporting of Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses Published in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing Journals: a Descriptive Study
    (Taylor & Francis inc, 2023) Dikec, Gul; Ozer, Duygu; Hemşirelik Bölümü
    Although it is not mandatory for systematic review and meta-analysis studies, protocol registration is essential in the prevention of biases. This study aims to investigate the protocol registration status and reporting of systematic reviews and meta-analyses published in psychiatric nursing journals. This descriptive study's data were obtained by scanning the 10 mental health and psychiatric nursing journals in which the studies of psychiatric nurses were most frequently published and by examining the systematic reviews and meta-analyses published between 2012-2022. A total of 177 completed studies have been reviewed. It was determined that 18.6% of the examined systematic reviews and meta-analyses had a protocol registration. Almost all (96.9%) of the registered studies were registered with PROSPERO, and 72.7% were registered prospectively. It was determined that the registration status of the studies changed statistically according to the country where the studies' authors were located. When the published studies were examined, it was determined that approximately one out of every five studies were registered. With the prospective registration of systematic reviews, biases could be prevented, and evidence-based interventions can be made based on the knowledge obtained.

    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2025) Öztürk, Gizem; Dikeç, Gül; Harmanci Seren, Arzu Kader; Hemşirelik Bölümü
    Aim: This study aimed to examine the bibliographic characteristics of publications on refugees in the nursing field. Design: A bibliometric analysis design was adopted for the study. Sample: Included the articles scanned in the Web of Science Core Collection database. The study excluded the other databases and gray literature. Measurements: The 2120 articles published between 1980 and 2024 that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed using Bibliometrix in RStudio, VOSviewer, and Microsoft Excel software. Results: The majority of publications were published in 2024. The United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia have the highest publications, citations, and international cooperation. Additionally, “mental health” is one of the most frequently used keywords in studies. Conclusions: The increased migration rates and the growing need for healthcare for refugees underscore the importance of investing in nursing research within this field. Nurses and researchers should establish partnerships and share best practices with leading countries. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Qualitative and Artificial Intelligence-Based Sentiment Analysis of Turkish Twitter Messages Related To Autism Spectrum Disorders
    (Springernature, 2023) Göksel, Pelin; Oban, Volkan; Dikec, Gul; Usta, Mirac Baris; Hemşirelik Bölümü
    Background: The aim of our study was to conduct an emotional analysis of Turkish Twitter messages related to autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Methods: An emotion analysis was performed using quantitative and qualitative analysis methods on Turkish Twitter messages shared between November 2021 and January 2022 that contained the words "autism" and "autistic." Results: It was found that 81.5% of the 13,042 messages that constituted the sample of this study contained neutral emotions. The most frequently used words in Twitter messages were autism, a, universe, strong, patience, warriors, and happy. The qualitative analysis revealed three main themes. These themes were: "experiences," "informing society and awareness," and "humiliation." Conclusion: In this study, it was found that Turkish Twitter messages related to autism, which were analyzed using artificial intelligence-based emotion analysis, often contained neutral emotions. While the content of these messages, often shared by parents, was related to experiences, and the messages shared by pediatric psychiatrists and rehabilitation center employees were informative in nature, it was determined that the word "autism" was used to insult, which is outside of its medical meaning.

    Mültecilere Yardım Eden Profesyoneller Arasında İkincil Travmatik Stres ve Başa Çıkma Deneyimleri: Nitel Bir Çalışma
    (2025) Dikec, Gul; Uygun, Ersin; Küçüknane, Ayşegül; Hemşirelik Bölümü
    İnsani yardım çalışanları sağladıkları hizmetler gereği yoğun ve uzun süreli travmatik deneyimlere maruz ka- lır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, İstanbul’da bir sivil toplum kuruluşunda mültecilerle çalışan insani yardım çalışanla- rının ikincil travmatik stres deneyimlerini ve başa çıkma yöntemlerini incelemektir. Fenomenolojik desende yapılan bu nitel çalışma verileri, yarı yapılandırılmış bir görüşme formu kullanılarak Temmuz-Ağustos 2020 ta- rihlerinde derinlemesine görüşmeler yoluyla toplandı. Örneklem sosyal hizmet uzmanları, sağlık eğitimcileri, avukatlar, saha çalışanları, vaka yöneticileri ve koruma görevlileri olmak üzere 13 katılımcıdan oluştu. Verilerin analizi Colazzi’nin fenomenolojik yorumlama yöntemi ile yapıldı. Bulgular, beş ana tema (duygular, ruhsal du- rum değişiklikleri, işin tatmin edici yönleri, yorucu yönleri ve başa çıkma) ve 15 alt tema altında sınıflandırıldı. Mültecilere yardım sağlayan insani yardım çalışanlarının sıklıkla üzüntü, öfke ve korku yaşadıkları; hayatların- daki değişiklikleri fark ettikleri, bazen işlerinden yoruldukları bazen de memnun oldukları ve kendilerine yak- laşarak ya da uzaklaşarak başa çıktıkları bulundu. Mevcut bulgular göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, insani yardım çalışanlarına yönelik süpervizyon ve akran desteğinin sağlanması ve sürdürülmesi önerilebilir.

    The Perceptions of Generation Z University Students About Their Futures: A Qualitative Study
    (MDPI, 2023) Dikec, Gul; Ozturk, Simge; Tasbasi, Neslihan; Figenergul, Damla; Guler, Bilal Bugrahan; Hemşirelik Bölümü
    This study explored the future-oriented perceptions of Generation Z students in a foundation university. This study was conducted using qualitative research and a phenomenological design. The study sample consisted of 11 university students over the age of 18 who agreed to participate in the study. Data were collected online through individual interviews in Turkiye. Colaizzi's phenomenological analysis method was used in the data analysis. The content analysis determined three main themes and eleven sub-themes. The first theme was the students' knowledge acquisition about the "current situation of the country." Under this theme were four sub-themes: economic problems, the immigrant situation, the education and justice system, and the country's agenda. In the second theme, students shared their opinions about "being a student in the country." This theme included economic impossibilities, their participation in limited social activities, and housing problems. In the last theme, "future anxiety," the sub-themes of the students were found to include experiences hopelessness versus hope. Uncertainty caused anxiety, as did going abroad, finding a job, and improving themselves. It was determined that the participants were worried about the current situation in the countries they lived in during this period due to economic problems; while some were hopeful about the future, some were hopeless and would go abroad. This study might contribute to the literature on determining the future-oriented perceptions, possible stressors and hope levels of Generation Z university students in Turkiye. Additionally, intervention programs can be developed for the management these stressors to protect the mental health of Generation Z university students. On the other hand, it is necessary to protect the mental health of young people, who are the adults of the future, and to create policies for the youth of this country where social opportunities are maintained.

    (Turkish Green Crescent Soc, 2025) Dikec, Gul; Umut, Gokhan; Albal, Esra; Hemşirelik Bölümü
    This study aimed to determine the life and stigma experiences of individuals with substance use disorder who received inpatient treatment in an adult detoxification center. Data for this qualitative phenomenological study were collected in Istanbul between April and December 2023. The data were analyzed using Colazzi steps. A total of 26 individuals with substance use disorder were interviewed. The content analysis identified three main themes. The initial topic discussed was the effect of substance use on individuals’ lives. The sec- ond theme discussed was stigmatization. The final theme addressed coping with stigmatization. The study revealed that participants experienced negative emotions, including regret, guilt, and shame, due to stigma- tization, exclusion, and discrimination. Substance use treatment should not only focus on pharmacotherapy but also the psychological and social needs of the individual. Furthermore, to address negative attitudes in society, mental health professionals could inform families and disseminate anti-stigma programs.

    (Turkiye Sinir ve Ruh Sagligi dernegi, 2023) Dikec, Gul; Oban, Volkan; Usta, Mirac Baris; Hemşirelik Bölümü
    Objective: The aim of this study was to qualitatively examine Turkish tweets about schizophrenia in respect of stigmatization and discrimination within a one-month period and to conduct emotional analysis using artificial intelligence applications. Method: Using the keyword 'schizophrenia,' Turkish tweets were gathered from the Python Tweepy application between December 19, 2020 and January 18, 2021. Features were extracted using the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) method and artificial neural networks and tweets were classified as positive, neutral, or negative. Approximately 5% of the tweets were qualitatively analyzed, constituting those most frequently liked and retweeted. Results: The study found that, of the total of 3406 schizophrenia-related messages shared in Turkey over a period of one-month, 2996 were original, and were then retweeted a total of 1823 times, and liked by 25,413 people. It was determined that 63.4% of the tweets shared about schizophrenia contained negative emotions, 28.7% were neutral, and 7.71% expressed positive emotions. Within the scope of the qualitative analysis, 145 tweets were examined and classified under four main themes and two sub-themes; namely, news about violent patients, insult (insulting people in interpersonal relationships, insulting people in the news), mockery, and information. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the Turkish tweets about schizophrenia, which were emotionally analyzed using artificial intelligence were found often to contain negative emotions. It was also seen that Twitter users used the term schizophrenia, not in a medical sense but to insult and make fun of individuals, frequently shared the news that patients were victims or perpetrators of violence, and the messages shared by professional branch organizations or mental health professionals were primarily for conveying information to the public.

    The Relationship Between Stress, Anxiety, and Depression Levels and Pseudobulbar Affect in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Ozer, Duygu; Ata, Elvan Emine; Dikec, Gul; Demir, Serkan; Hemşirelik Bölümü
    Background Pseudobulbar affect (PBA) has recently been added to the list of mental disorders commonly observed in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The emotional changes experienced by MS patients may be associated with other mental problems and adversely affect disease prognosis. However, there are limited studies in the international and national literature on this subject. Aim This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between PBA and stress, anxiety, and depression levels in patients with MS. Design This is a descriptive, relational, and cross-sectional study. Methods A total of 442 MS patients followed in the neurology outpatient clinic of a hospital and registered with the MS Society in Turkey participated in this study. Data were collected using a personal information form, the Turkish version of the Center for Neurologic Study-Lability Scale (CNS-LS), and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS). Results In this study, 63.3% of the patients had PBA, 21% had extremely severe depression, 41.6% had extremely severe anxiety, and 24.9% had severe stress. Correlation analysis revealed weak positive correlations between CNS-LS total score and DASS subscale and total scores. Depression, anxiety, and stress levels accounted for 22.5% of the variation in CNS-LS total score. Conclusion The results of this study indicate that a majority of MS patients in Turkey experience PBA, depression, anxiety, and stress, and that PBA is positively associated with depression, anxiety, and stress. Impact statement This study, indicates that should be increased consultation-liaison psychiatry services in Turkey, and MS patients should benefit from comprehensive psychiatric services.
