    (Istanbul Universitesi, 2021) Hamidi F.; Tahıllıoğlu A.; Bilaç Ö.; Önder A.
    Objective: The time spent on social media and smartphones by children and adolescents has increased in recent times. The problematic use of social media can be the cause or result of many problems such as depression, anxiety disorder, academic failure, and social phobia. Despite its close relationship with psy-chopathologies, the problematic use of social media is often not evaluated during a psychiatric interview. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the quality of life and psychiatric comorbidities in adolescents with social media addiction. Methods: This study included 30 adolescents who received a score of 5 or higher from the Social Media Addiction Scale for Adolescents-Short Form. The Quality of Life Scale for Children was applied to adolescents and their parents in both the groups. In the analysis of the data, number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Mann–Whitney U test, and Spearman’s correlation test were used in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20.0 program. Results: The mean ages of the adolescents with social media addiction and control group were 13.5 ± 1.8 and 13.4 ± 1.73 years, respectively. When the adolescents with and without social media addiction were compared in terms of quality of life, physical health, psychosocial, and total scores, there were significant differences according to both parental and self-reports (P < .05). Psychiatric diagnoses were also found higher in adolescents with social media addiction (P < .001). Conclusion: Our research can be a guide for identifying the risks and problems that may arise from problematic social media use and for the preventive and treatment medicine studies in this field. © Istanbul Universitesi.

    Child Revised Impact of Event Scale (CRIES): Validity and Reliability Study of Turkish Version; [Revize Edilmiş Çocuk Olayın Etkisi Ölçeği (CRIES): Türkçe Geçerlilik ve Güvenilirlik Çalışması]
    (2021) Çeri V.; Hamidi F.; Çakır B.; Bilaç Ö.; İz M.; Ay İz F.B.; Aydemir Ö.
    Objective: Posttraumatic stress disorder develops in a significant portion of children exposed to traumatic experiences, and it has been reported that there are cases in whom posttraumatic stress disorder has not been detected and treated for many years. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the Turkish validity and reliability of the “Revised Child Event Effect Scale,” which was previously shown to be effective in detecting posttraumatic stress disorder and is used globally. Methods: In our study, 67 children, between the ages of 10 and 24 years, who reported traumatic injury and 275 children who did not describe any traumatic experiences were included. The Children’s Revised Impact of Event Scale and the Child Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptom Scale in children and adoles-cents, respectively, were applied to the participants. Results: The original 3-factor structure was repeated in this study, and the internal consistency of the scale was found to be 0.85. The correlations of the scale items with the total score ranged from 0.35 to 0.65. The correlation of Children’s Revised Impact of Event Scale with Child Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptom Scale was found to be 0.58; thus, it was found that the Children’s Revised Impact of Event Scale has a similar validity as Child Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptom Scale, which indicates that Children’s Revised Impact of Event Scale successfully distinguishes individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder from individuals without posttraumatic stress disorder. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the Revised Child Event Impact Scale has sufficient validity and reliability and can help detect posttraumatic stress disorder in children exposed to traumatic experiences. © Children and War Foundation, 1998.
