Objective: The aim of this study was to determine to what extent the self-perception and difficulties in emotion regulation are predictors of depressive symptoms in children diagnosed with specific learning disorder (SLD). Furthermore the other aim was to investigate the mediating role of the difficulties in emotion regulation in the relationship between depressive symptoms and self-perception. Method: The study sample was consisted of 326 participants among 10-14 ages, clinical group diagnosed with SLD (n = 156) and healthy control group (n = 170). Piers Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale, Children's Depression Scale, Emotion Adjustment Scale and Demographic Information Form were used as data collection tools. Results: According to the results depression and difficulties in emotion regulation scores of the SLD group were significantly higher; self-perception scores were lower than control group. It was found that self-perception and difficulties in emotion regulation significantly have predicted depressive symptoms in children with SLD; self-perception has predicted depressive symptoms in control group but difficulties in emotion regulation had no effect on depressive symptoms in this group. The mediator role analysis results have showed that difficulties in emotion regulation had a partial mediating role between depressive symptoms and self-perception in children with SLD. Discussion: TThe results obtained from the comparison of the clinical and the control group are consistent with the literature. The finding that difficulties in emotional regulation has a partial mediating role in the relationship between depressive symptoms and self-perception in SLD group is important for the intervention programs which will develop to increase the global functionality of individuals with SLD.

Bruxism is a parafunctional activity characterized by daytime (diurnal) or nighttime (nocturnal) tooth grinding and squeezing and causing various pathologies in oropharyngeal tissues. Buspirone is used in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder, to reduce the side effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and to strengthen the treatment in depression and anxiety disorders. In addition to these uses, buspirone is also used in the treatment of bruxism in adults. In this study, it is aimed to summarize bruxism cases treated with buspirone in literature and to discuss treatment options. A systematic research was conducted on Pubmed, Google Academic and Web of Science databases to evaluate all peer-reviewed articles using buspirone in the treatment of bruxism. The whole study in which buspirone was used in the treatment of bruxism was included in the study. When evaluated on the basis of case reports, buspirone is seen as one of the psychotropes that can be used safely in the treatment of bruxism. In the treatment, it may be recommended to adjust the average daily dose to 10-20 mg and wait a minimum of 2 weeks, although the effectiveness may occur in a much shorter time. This study is important in terms of recommending buspirone, which has been shown to be effective in the treatment of bruxism in many cases, despite its various limitations and as a step for further studies on this subject.
磨牙是一种以白天(白天)或夜间(夜间)磨牙和挤压牙齿为特征的副功能活动,可引起口咽组织的各种病理。丁螺环酮用于治疗广泛性焦虑症,减少选择性血清素再摄取抑制剂的副作用,并加强抑郁症和焦虑症的治疗。除了这些用途外,丁螺环酮还用于治疗成人磨牙症。在本研究中,旨在总结文献中使用丁螺环酮治疗磨牙症的病例,并讨论治疗方案。在Pubmed, Google Academic和Web of Science数据库上进行了系统的研究,以评估所有使用丁螺环酮治疗磨牙症的同行评审文章。丁螺环酮治疗磨牙症的全部研究纳入本研究。当根据病例报告进行评估时,丁螺环酮被视为可以安全用于治疗磨牙症的精神药物之一。在治疗中,可能建议将平均每日剂量调整为10- 20mg,并等待至少2周,尽管效果可能在更短的时间内出现。这项研究在推荐丁螺环酮方面很重要,丁螺环酮已被证明在治疗磨牙症的许多情况下是有效的,尽管它有各种局限性,并作为进一步研究这一主题的一步。

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine self-perceived competency levels and perspectives of primary care physicians on psychiatry related basic practical skills that are in Turkish National Core Curriculum 2014. Method: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study that 4117 primary care physicians participated. An electronic survey form has been sent to primary care physicians who actively work in Turkey to determine the primary care physicians’ self-perceived competency levels and the level that a medical student should reach at the graduation, on the psychiatry related basic practical skills that is in National Core Curriculum 2014. The study was carried out between October 1, 2017 and September 1, 2018. Descriptive statistical methods and chi square test were performed during analysis process. Results: Self-perceived competency levels on psychiatry related skills of primary care physicians were between 27,3% and 62,4%. The proportion of incompetent primary care physicians was statistically higher among physicians who has graduated from medical school more than five years ago (p<0.05). Out of nine skills, primary care physicians’ perspectives and NCC-2014 levels were consistent. Discussion: Primary care physicians who work in Turkey has low self-perceived levels on psychiatry related basic practical skills in National Core Curriculum 2014. Newly graduated physicians (five years from graduation) perceive themselves less incompetent. National Core Curriculum 2014 levels are compatible with perspectives of primary care physicians. It is suggested that undergraduate medical curricula should be evaluated in terms of psychiatry related basic practical skills.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to present the characteristics of juvenile pushed to crime who were brought to a child psychiatry clinic in a two-year period, the forensic reports and the measure decisions for these children. Method: Sociodemographic, clinical and crime data of 67 children (59 boys and 8 girls) were entered into the SPSS 23.0 package program and required statistics were applied. Results: 22.4% of the children with an average age of 15.2 ± 1.3 had recurrent crime. At least one in the family of 20.9% and among friends of 43.3% were involved in crime before. The most common types of crime were theft, sexual abuse and property damage. A significant relationship was found between the recidivism and the disciplinary penalty, school drop-out, prior psychiatric diagnosis, smoking, self-injurious behavior, having peers pushed into crime, crimes as theft and property damage. In 25.4% of the judicial reports, “the child perceives the legal meaning of the act committed and controls his/her behavior”, in 28.4% “the child perceives the legal meaning of the act committed however cannot control his/her behavior”, and in 46.3% “the child does not perceive the legal meaning of the act committed and cannot control his/her behavior” was reported. Preventive/supportive measures were recommended for approximately half of the children. There was approximately four months between the recommended and the taken measures, and these were substantially different from each other. Discussion: Individual, familial and environmental risk factors should be addressed together to protect children from recidivism and the cooperation of institutions involved in protective services should be strengthened.
