Objective: Internal consistency of scales is crucial for the quality of clinical practices, and scales that measure various aspects of clinical disorders must possess acceptable internal consistency. In the assessment of the internal consistency of the scales, the present study considered the Cronbachs alphas coefficient. This study aims (1) to provide a practical sample size guide based on Cronbachs alpha for medical researchers; (2) to investigate the factors related to the determination of the sample size needed for a correct estimation of Cronbachs alpha. Method: The calculation steps of the two sample size approaches (desired precision and desired power) proposed by Bonett are detailed and the sample size tables of these approaches are tabulated. Results: Findings indicate that as the number of items in the scale increases, the sample size decreases to a certain level but reaches a plateau when the number of items is about 30. Furthermore, it is claimed that the sample size should be at least 45 (and more) in order to calculate a meaningful internal consistency coefficient. Conclusions: In the present study, we extracted detailed information about the key components of sample size calculation for Cronbachs alpha and provided an easy and practical tables, which will enable clinicians to determine the appropriate sample size for their internal consistency studies.
目的:量表的内部一致性对临床实践的质量至关重要,衡量临床障碍各方面的量表必须具有可接受的内部一致性。在评估量表的内部一致性时,本研究考虑了Cronbach’s alpha系数。本研究旨在(1)为医学研究人员提供一个实用的基于Cronbach’s alpha的样本量指南;(2)研究与确定正确估计Cronbach’s alpha所需的样本量有关的因素。方法:详细介绍了Bonett提出的两种样本量方法(期望精度和期望功率)的计算步骤,并制作了这两种方法的样本量表。结果:研究结果表明,随着量表项目数量的增加,样本量会下降到一定水平,但在项目数量约为30时达到平台期。此外,为了计算有意义的内部一致性系数,它声称样本量应该至少为45(或更多)。结论:在本研究中,我们提取了有关Cronbach ' s alpha计算样本量的关键组成部分的详细信息,并提供了一个简单实用的表格,这将使临床医生能够确定适当的样本量,以进行内部一致性研究。

Oro-mandibular dystonia (OMD) involves repetitive uncontrollable contractions of the lower facial muscles. Its etiology is not fully elucidated although various neurological (encephalitis, etc.), psy-chogenic, and psychopharmacological (SSRIs, antipsychotics, etc.) causes were implicated. Ado-lescent patients developing OMD after treatment with sertraline or fluoxetine alone were reported previously. In this case, we reported OMD in a patient with sequential trials of different SSRIs. Despite its rarity, this adverse effect may be borne in mind by clinicians.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between illness perception, avoidance behavior, perception of obsession and personality traits in healthcare workers after the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods: An online survey was conducted with 652 healthcare professionals in May 2020 to assess their perceptions of obsession and related factors. Sociodemographic data form, COVID-19 Disease Perception Scale, COVID-19 Avoidance Attitudes Scale, Maudsley Obsessive Compulsive Questionnaire and Eysenck Personality Questionnaire were used in the study. Results: Significant predictors of COVID-19-related contagiousness perception were young age (β=-0.235, p<0.001), low psychoticism (β=-0.091, p=0.018), and high cleansing obsessions (β=0.127, p=0.004). It has been found that individuals with high extroverted personality traits (β=0.123, p=0.002) and more intense ruminative thoughts (β=0.117, p=0.003) have more cognitive avoidance from COVID-19, and those in the young age group (β=-0.184, p<0.001) with high education level (β=0.128, p=0.001) and intensive cleaning obsessions (β=0.090, p=0.030) have a behavioral avoidance attitude from COVID-19. Conclusion: In the course of the COVID 19 pandemic, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms may be a response to protecting yourself and others from the virus. Our data support the suggestion that public health advice during pandemics should include mental health campaigns aimed at reducing the psychological effects of pandemics.

Objective: First purpose of the current study is to compare the duration of electronic media usage of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with healthy controls. Second aim is to investigate the effects of electronic media use on quality of life (QoL) in both groups. Methods: Ninety-nine individuals aged between 6 and 18, diagnosed with ADHD after psychiatric examination, were investigated with regard to electronic media usage duration and QoL and compared with control group. Results: No significant difference was found between groups regarding average daily electronic media usage (ADHD group 5.42±4.08 hours, control group 5.60±4.68 hours; z=0.30, p=0.762) except for tablet use which was higher in the control group. Adolescents used computers and cell phones significantly more than pre-adolescent children. Tablet usage duration is found to have a negative relationship with school QoL (r=-0.399, p<0.001) in ADHD group and computer use duration has a negative relationship with physical QoL (r=-0.339, p<0.001) in the control group. Conclusion: Excessive electronic media usage may have different detrimental effects on QoL both for healthy children and children with ADHD. Taking preventive measures against excessive electronic media usage may be crucial for the healthy development and improved QoL among children instead of clinical diagnosis.

Cotard syndrome (CS) is a rare one characterized by the presence of nihilistic delusions. It is typically associated with depression and is mostly seen in middle-aged women (1). A few cases have been reported in youth, of which 90% are women. Here we present a young female case diagnosed with CS. This patient is the first report of the syndrome triggered by the COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic.

Vortioxetine is a new generation antidepressant approved for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). We would like to report three different cases in which dermatological side effects developed after treatment with vortioxetine. Our first case is about ichthyosis after vortioxetine intake, our second case is about acneiform rash due to vortioxetine intake, and our last case is about urticaria after vortioxetine intake. With this study, we aim to draw attention to such adverse effects of vortioxetine treatment.

Received: Aug 19, 2021 Accepted: Nov 17, 2021 Abstract Although anorexia nervosa (AN) and other eating disorders are frequently seen in adolescence or early adulthood, recent studies show that the number of early-onset anorexia nervosa cases is increasing. Increased screen use has been reported in pandemic conditions, especially in school-age and adolescent groups. In this article, a 6-year-old girl who was unable to attend school due to the pandemic and developed AN associated with intensive social media use is discussed. This case report is presented to the clinicians to raise awareness about eating disorders seen in increasing rates in pandemic conditions.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate oxidative metabolism and oxidative DNA damage in the state of euthymic and active disease in patients with Bipolar disorder (BD). Methods: 40 active (26 mania and14 depression episodes) and 40 euthymic state of disease of the 80 patients with BD and 48 healthy volunteers were included to the study. Measurement of the levels of serum total antioxidant (TAS) and serum total oxidant (TOS), Oxidative Stress Index (OSI), and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels were calculated and evaluated. Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) and Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI) were administered. Results: In patients with BD, TAS, TOS, OSI, and 8-OHdG levels were significantly higher than controls (all p<0.001). TOS level significantly higher in female than men in BD (p=0.016). A significantly positive weak correlation was detected between the TAS level and CGI score (p=0.031, r=0.241), HAM-D score (p=0.040, r=0.231) in BD. When patients in the active and euthymic state were compared with the control group separately, in both groups TAS, TOS, OSI, and 8-OHdG levels were significantly higher than controls (all p<0.001). However, there was no significant difference in TOS, OSI, and 8-OHdG levels between patients in the active or euthymic state of disease. Conclusion: Oxidants and DNA damage are high in patient with BD. No difference of the oxidants and DNA damage between the active and euthymic state of disease reveals that oxidative stress damages on the body although the symptoms of the disease to quiet down.
