Objective: Traumatic experiences during childhood have an impact on the emotional states of individuals during their adulthood. The impacts of traumatic experiences during childhood on self-esteem will be examined in the present study. It was also aimed to examine the relationship between these traumatic experiences and self-esteem with interpersonal relation levels. Method: This was a descriptive-cross-sectional study carried out during the dates of February 11, 2018 and March 11, 2018 on Gaziantep university students. Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), Scale of dimensions of interpersonal relationships (SDIR), childhood trauma questionnaire (CTQ) were used. Results: Of the 926 students who participated in the study, 712 (76.9 %) were female, 214 (33.1 %) were male. The RSES total score of the students was 12.63±2.36, CTS total score was 48.0±20.97. CTQ were determined to be positively related with the empathy, trust, emotion awareness dimensions of SDIR and negatively related with approval dependence. This result is an indication of low trust, low emotion awareness, increased approval dependence and more empathy in interpersonal relationships. RSES total score was not determined to be related with CTQ total in our study, but a relationship was determined between RSES and only the emotional abuse sub-dimension. The mean scores of RSES in individuals were determined to have a negative relationship with trust and emotion sub-dimensions of SDIR and to have a positive relationship with the empathy and approval sub-dimensions. This result is an indication of less empathy, increase in approval dependence, low emotional awareness and decrease in trust with regard to interpersonal relationships. The differences found significant in the study can be listed as follows: the number of siblings in SDIR empathy dimension, family type in the trust dimension, alcohol use in emotion and trust dimension, gender in all of the emotion, empathy, trust and approval sub-dimensions, chronic disorders in the trust dimension, smoking in approval and emotion dimension, duration of internet use in the emotion sub-dimension. Significant differences were observed with regard to gender, parental attitudes, number of siblings, economic level, family type, alcohol use and smoking in CTQ scores. Duration of internet usage time in a day displayed statistical differences in RSES scores. Conclusion: Childhood traumas have impacts on all dimensions of interpersonal relationships. Self-esteem was determined to be related only with emotional abuse from childhood traumas and self-esteem has a significant impact on interpersonal relationships. Sociodemographic factor analysis has indicated that parental attitudes, family type, alcohol use and smoking, gender are related with childhood traumas, that the number of siblings, family type, alcohol use, gender, chronic disorder, smoking, duration of internet usage are related with interpersonal relationships and that internet usage is rel

Received: Aug 02, 2019 Accepted: Dec 22, 2019 Abstract Objective: Aim of this study was to investigate relation between serum 25 (OH) vitamin D or B12 levels and depressive symptoms in children and adolescents with tension-type headache. Methods: Electronic records of children and adolescents diagnosed with tension-type headache in Ankara Training and Research Hospital Child Neurology Department between March 2018 and August 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Among them, subjects with depression diagnosed based on DSM-5 criteria and its symptoms obtained via Children depression inventory (CDI) and Beck depression inventory (BDI) found in records were collected. Vitamin D deficiency is defined if its serum levels are below 20 ng/mL, and Vitamin B12 deficiency as below 203 pg/mL. SPSS 17.0 was used for analyses and p<.05 was considered as significant. Results: Of 74 subjects with tension-type headache were included. Mean age of all was 14.3 years (9-17) and 81.1% of all were girls. Of 16.2% of them had depression based on DSM-5 criteria. The mean CDI scale was 12.9 (2-32) and BDI scale was 19.3 (9-40). Mean serum level of vitamin D was 14.4 ng/mL (range= 3.80-46.6 ng/mL) and 73% of them had Vitamin D deficiency. Mean serum vitamin B12 levels were 291.3 pg/mL (range= 123.5-792) and 20.3% of them had its “deficiency”. There was no significant relation between vitamin deficiencies and having depression or being adolescent (for all variables p>.05). There was also not any significant correlation between two vitamin levels and depressive symptoms based on CDI and BDI. There was, however, a relation between being girl and vitamin deficiencies, which 88.9% of all vitamin D deficient cases (48/54, c2(1) = 7.192, p = .016, Fisher’s exact test), and 60% of vitamin B12 deficient subjects (9/15, c2(1) = 5.451, p = .030, Fisher’s exact test) were girls. Correlation analyses revealed that age (years) has significant negative correlation with vitamin B12 (Spearman rho=-.352, p= .002), and positive correlation with CDI (Spearman rho=.282, p=.039). There was another negative correlation found between vitamin D and BDI (Spearman rho=-.499, p=.041). Conclusions: Girls with tension-type headache would be evaluated for vitamin D and B12 levels. Being adolescents might have effect on vitamin B12 intake and on depression symptoms.

Objective: Our aim in this study was to identify treatment adherence in bipolar disorder patients who regularly use medications and to examine the factors and beliefs associated with treatment compliance. Method: Our sample consisted of 92 patients who were followed up by bipolar disorder. Participants assessed for diagnosis and remission by criteria of affective disorders part of SCID I then Sociodemographic data form, Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS) and The Beliefs about Medication Compliance Scale (BMCS) was given. Results: Treatment non-adherence rate were %29,3. Variables that differ significantly in non-adherent group then adherent as follows: low education (p=0.03), medications that causes sedation (p=0,001), not educated about treatment (p=0,05), young age (p=0,04), difficulty in obtaining medicine (p=0,003) and treatment complexity (p=0,01). Particularly training the patient with written/visualized materials were higher in adherent group (p=0,02). While there was no significant difference in terms of BMCS benefit subscale (p=0,47), patients with poor treatment compliance reported significantly higher scores on the BMCS barrier subscale (p=0,01). In the logistic regression analysis, sedative medications, difficulty in obtaining medication and treatment complexity were found to be significant predictors of treatment non-adherence. Conclusion: providing access to medication, informing the prescribing medicines with using visual material and patient-centered approaches would increase the compliance of the medication, especially with minimal use of sedative drugs.

Drug induced alopecia is a reversible side effect of psychopharmacological treatments. Diffuse hair loss occurs with use of antipsychotics more rarely than mood stabilizers shown to be related to alopecia. In the literature, there is only one case report presenting an atypical antipsychotic “quetiapine” induced hair loss during adolescence when individuals are more sensitive to undesirable effects of drugs. Olanzapine, a safe and well tolerated atypical antipsychotic, is prescribed in child and adolescent psychiatry clinics. Alopecia may not be described by children and adolescents, but clinicians should be aware of this problem that may lead to impair compliance with treatment. In the report, an adolescent case of alopecia related to use of olanzapine that recovered after cessation of the drug is presented.

Objective: It is known that a complex problem is sexual life in patients with chronic pain. Also physicians may ignore this point. In this study, we aimed to compare the clinical features, sexual life properties and personality traits of patients with Chronic Pain Disorder (CPD) and healthy controls. We hypothesized that Harm Avoidance (HA) scores would be higher and predictive of compared to healthy controls also sexual dysfunction would found in patient group. Methods: This study was conducted in outpatients with CPD who presented to the Bagcilar Training and Research Hospital’s Outpatient Psychiatry Clinic. The sample was comprised of 60 outpatients (53 women, 7 men) who complained of chronic pain for at least 3 months and were not under any medication treatments. The control group comprised of 60 healthy controls (49 women, 11 men). Semi-structured sociodemographic data form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX) were administered to the participants. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS for Windows, Version 23.0. Results: In CPD patients ASEX scores were significantly higher than healthy controls. It demostrates sexual dysfunction presenting in CPD group. In terms of gender; female ASEX scores were significantly higher than male ones. VAS scores did not correlate to ASEX scores in all of participants. Explatory excitability subscale of Novelty Seeking, Total Cooperativeness and Total Reward Dependence scores were changed negatively correlation with ASEX scores; Harm Avoidance, persistanceness, Self Directedness, Self Trancendance and their subscales did not correlate to ASEX scores. ASEX scores, positively corraleted to Attachment and Sentimentality subsclaes of Reward Dependence. BDI scores changed positively with BAI, ASEX,VAS scores; BAI scores also corraleted positively with VAS and ASEX scores. Helpfulness vs Unhelpfulness and Compassion vs Revengefulness subscales of cooperativeness in patients with CPD positively corraleted to ASEX scores. Conclusion: Temperament and character traits and sexual life properties of the CPD patients were significantly different from the healthy control subjects. Explatory excitability subscale of NS and C is negative predictor of Sexual Dysfunction. Also Helpfulness vs Unhelpfulness and Compassion vs Revengefulness subscale of C is positive predictor of Sexual Dysfunction.
目的:众所周知，慢性疼痛患者的性生活是一个复杂的问题。医生也可能忽略这一点。在本研究中，我们旨在比较慢性疼痛障碍(CPD)患者和健康对照者的临床特征、性生活特征和人格特征。我们假设，与健康对照组相比，患者组的伤害避免(HA)评分更高，且具有预测性，同时患者组也存在性功能障碍。方法:本研究在Bagcilar培训与研究医院精神病学门诊进行的CPD门诊患者中进行。样本包括60名门诊患者(53名女性，7名男性)，他们抱怨慢性疼痛至少3个月，没有接受任何药物治疗。对照组由60名健康对照者组成(49名女性，11名男性)。采用半结构化社会人口学数据表、视觉模拟量表(VAS)、气质与性格量表(TCI)、贝克抑郁量表(BDI)、贝克焦虑量表(BAI)和亚利桑那性经验量表(ASEX)。所有统计分析均使用SPSS for Windows, Version 23.0进行。结果:慢性阻塞性肺病患者ASEX评分明显高于健康对照组。显示CPD组出现性功能障碍。在性别方面;女性ASEX评分显著高于男性。所有参与者的VAS评分与ASEX评分不相关。新颖性、总合作性和总奖励依赖性的解释性兴奋性分量表与ASEX得分呈负相关变化;伤害回避、坚持、自我指导、自我超越及其分量表与ASEX得分无相关性。ASEX得分与奖励依赖的依恋和多愁善感分量表正相关。BDI评分与BAI、ASEX、VAS评分呈正相关;BAI评分与VAS和ASEX评分也呈正相关。CPD患者乐于助人与不乐于助人、同情与报复的合作分量表与ASEX评分正相关。结论:CPD患者的气质、性格特征和性生活特征与健康对照组有显著差异。NS和C的解释性兴奋性分量表是性功能障碍的负向预测因子。此外，乐于助人与不乐于助人、同情与报复的C分量表是性功能障碍的正向预测因子。

Objective: The complex relationship between perceived stress and burnout symptoms in medical professionals is an overlooked topic abd there are limited studies that examine the relationship between these two varriables. In this study, it is aimed to examine the relationship between perceived stress and burnout based on Maslach’s three-dimensional model. Methods: The study sample consists of 32 males, 124 females and totally 156 medical secretaries from different departments of Dokuz Eylul University Hospital (DEUH). Sociodemographic form for all the participants was completed during the interviews. The Turkish MBI (Maslach's Burnout Inventory) and Turkish PSS (Perceived Stress Scale) were completed by the participants. Results: Our findings revealed that stress and burnout scores were not statistically significant different in terms of sociodemographic variables such as gender, marital status, education level, and working unit. Furthermore, stress was found to be positively correlated with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and also depersonalization and personal accomplishment subscales were significantly predictive of stress. Discussion: The development of programs aimed at reducing the stress level of individuals in healthcare organizations and taking some precautions in this direction will also decrease the level of burnout and increase the work efficiency.

Furthermore, stress was found to be positively correlated with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and also depersonalization and personal accomplishment subscales were significantly predictive of stress. Discussion: The development of programs aimed at reducing the stress level of individuals in healthcare organizations and taking some precautions in this direction will also decrease the level of burnout and increase the work efficiency.","PeriodicalId":74168,"journal":{"name":"MedPress psychiatry and behavioral sciences","volume":"191 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76934994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bipolar Disorder (BD) may affect people of all ages. Although it was once believed that bipolar symptoms slowly disappear with age, the studies showed that the truth is not so! Untreated BD tends to worsen over time. On the other hand, people who are initially diagnosed with BD late in life may well have had unnoticed BD for decades. As populations grow older, the number of BD cases among the seniors is expected to increase. In late-onset BD, etiopathology may differ from young BD patients. Cardiovascular diseases and some other biological mechanisms may play a significant role in the onset of disease. In this case report, we present a nonagenarian admitted with recurrent BD symptoms after twenty-four years of the symptom-free period. We aimed to discuss possible mechanisms and effective treatment methods of geriatric BD in light of current literature. This is the first case of geriatric BD recurrence reported after such a prolonged symptom-free period of a nonagenarian senior.
