Objective: This study aims to demonstrate the reliability and validity of Turkish version of DSM-5 Depression Scale which was developed to measure the severity of depression. Methods: The study group included 50 in- or out-pa- tients who met the criteria for major depressive disorder according to DSM-5. Sixty-three healthy volunteers without any mental or physical disease were also recruited as a control group. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), which is the most widely used self-report scale, was used for concurrent validity. Internal consistency coefficient Cronbach alfa and item-total correlation analysis were performed for reliability. Exploratory factor analysis was used for validity, as BDI was used for concurrent validity. Results: Mean age was 39.2±11.3 and 22.4±5.8 years in the patient and control group, respectively. Sixty-one percent of the sample group (n=66) were female. 64.8% of the group were college graduates, 19% were primary school graduates and 18.5% were high school graduates. Disease duration for major depressive disorder was 3.3±5.6 years for the patient group. For the internal consistency Cronbach alfa coefficient of the DSM-5 Depression Scale was 0.91. Item-total correlation coefficients were between 0.60-0.83. For the exploratory factor analysis of sample adequacy of DSM-5 Depression Scale, Kaiser-Meier-Olkin (KMO) coefficient and Bartlett coefficient was calculated as 0.91 and 608.18, respectively. Single-factor solution was obtained with an eigenvalue of 5.44, representing 60.4% of the variance. Factor loadings of the items were between 0.66-0.80. Correlation coefficient of DSM-5 Depression Scale with BDI was found as r=0.88. Conclusion: The Turkish version of DSM-5 Depression Scale is reliable and valid. © 2017, Cukurova University, Faculty of Medicine. All rights reserved.

Objective: In this study we evaluated the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of DSM-5 Psychosis Scale developed in order to evaluate severity of psychosis in adult patients. Methods: This study was carried out with patients who met the diagnostic criteria for any psychotic disorder according to DSM-5 criteria and who are undergoing treatment in the inpatient and outpatient wards of Psychiatry Department of Celal Bayar University Medical School. Except for psychotic disorders patients with any mental or physical disease were excluded. A total of 49 patients (40 patients with schizophrenia, six patients with not otherwise specified psychotic disorder, three patients with schizoaffective disorder) were included in the study. One hundred and one volunteers without any mental or physical disease were included as the healthy control group. Reliability analysis was based on internal consistency and item-total score correlation. Validity analysis was based on exploratory factor analysis, comparison of mean scores of the patient and healthy control groups and ROC analysis. Results: The mean age of the study group was 26.0±10.3 years and 52.7% of the sample group (n=79) were female. Sixty-nine point three percent of the study group were college graduates, 8% primary school graduates, 19.3% is also high school graduates. Mean disease duration was 17.1±9.7 years in the psychotic disorder group. The internal consistency of the Psychosis Scale was 0.91 and, item-total correlation coefficients of the Psychosis Scale were between 0.25 and 0.82. In the factor analysis, for sample adequacy Kaiser- Meier-Olkin (KMO) coefficient was found as 0.81 and Bartlett coefficient as 1.03. Single-factor solution was obtained and the eigenvalue is 5.12, representing 64.0% of the total variance. Factor loadings of the items of the scale were between 0.33 and 0.88. The mean of score was 11.00±5.20 in patient group while it was calculated as 0.21±1.21 in control group. The area under the curve was calculated as 0.98 in the ROC analysis.

Clinical findings, child and mother psychosocial status in functional constipation
(Turkish Society of Gastroenterology, 2017) Appak Y.C.; Sapmaz S.Y.; Doǧan G.; Herdem A.; Özyurt B.C.; Kasirga E.
Background/Aims: Functional constipation (FC) is a common problem in childhood. In this study, we aimed to analyze the clinical and sociodemographic findings of patients with FC, parenting behaviors, and psychosocial states of children and parents. Materials and Methods: According to the Roma III diagnosis criteria, 32 patients with FC and 31 healthy controls were included. Patients' clinical and sociodemographic data set associated with constipation was determined. Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire was used to screen the emotional and behavioral problems in children. To evaluate the parents and family, Beck Depression Inventory, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Parental Attitude Research Instrument were used. Results: Emotional and peer problems subscale scores, parental concerns as well as over-parenting attitude were found higher in patients. Significant difference was also observed between the groups in terms of mean score of authoritarian attitude dimensions. Attitude of hostility and rejection and marital discordance was found to be significantly high in patient families. Our study revealed a decrease in the constipation rate with the increasing education level of parents, higher rate of constipation in families with less income than expenses, and lower rate of working mothers in patients with constipation. Parents' depressive symptoms and anxiety level were determined to be considerably higher. Conclusion: A mother's low education level, low socioeconomic level, presence of psychological symptoms, and problems of parental attitude-primarily the authoritarian attitude-increase the risk of FC occurrence. Therefore, FC patients and their families should definitely undergo a psychosocial assessment. ©Copyright 2017 by The Turkish Society of Gastroenterology.
DSM-5 level 2 sleep disorders scale validity and reliability of Turkish form (Form for children aged 11–17 years and parent form for children aged 6–17 years)
(Turkish Neuropsychiatric Society, 2018) Erkuran H.Ö.Z.E.K.; Yalin Sapmaz Ş.; Herdem A.; Öztürk M.; Bilaç Ö.; Önen Ö.; Uzel Tanriverdi B.; Köroğlu E.; Aydemir Ö.
Introduction: This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of Turkish version of DSM-5 Level 2 Sleep Disorders Scale. Method: The scale was prepared by translation and back translation of DSM-5 Level 2 Sleep Disorders Scale. Study groups consisted of a clinical sample that contained cases that had sleep related problems and treated in a child and adolescent psychiatry unit and also a community sample. In the assessment process, child and parent forms of DSM-5 Level 2 Sleep Disorders Scale and also Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire-Turkish version (CSHQ) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used. As for reliability analyses, internal consistency coefficient and item-total score correlation analysis, test-retest reliability; and for validity analyses, explanatory factor analysis and for concurrent validity, correlation analyses with Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire-Turkish version (CSHQ) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were made. Results: In reliability analyses, Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficient values were found to be very highly reliable regarding child and parent forms. Item-total score correlation coefficients were high for child form while medium and high for parent form; indicating a statistical significance. As for construct validity, two factors were maintained that would count for 74.1% of the variance in child form and 66.9% of the variance in parent form. It was seen that positive and negative statements weighed on two different factors. As for concurrent validity, child and parent form of the scale showed significant correlation with Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire-Turkish version (CSHQ) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Conclusion: It was found that Turkish version of DSM-5 Level 2 Sleep Disorders Scale could be utilized as a valid and reliable tool both in clinical practice and for research purposes. © 2017 by Turkish Association of Neuropsychiatry.
Evaluating individual differences in patients with major depressive disorder focused on nine types temperament model; [Major depresif bozukluk tanılı hastaların bireysel farklılıkları üzerine dokuz tip mizaç modeli odaklı bir inceleme]
(ANP Publishing, 2020) Üstündağ M.F.; Yılmaz E.D.; Uğur K.; Ünal Ö.; Herdem A.; Aydın O.; Aydemir Ö.
Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and MDD specifiers with temperament and personality traits with a perspective focused on Nine Type Temperament Model (NTTM). Method: 203 healthy participants who are matched with the 208 MDD participants group between 18-60 years old and in at least eight weeks remission period and treatment in progress, without an additional diagnosis were included in the study. Socio-demographic data form, Nine Types of Temperament Scale (NTTS) and Temperament Character Inventory (TCI) were applied to all participants, and in addition, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) were applied to the subjects with MDD. MDD specifiers were evaluated using follow-up data files. Results: According to results, both Nine Type Temperament (NTT) Model’s types, which are NTT1, NTT2, NTT3, NTT4, NTT6 and NTT8, and Psychobiological Personality Model’s dimensions which are consisted of the cooperation, persistence, harm avoidance and self-management were found to be associated with MDD. From the point of MDD determinants; anxiety-distressing characteristics are associated with NTM2, NTM3, NTM6, NTM9; melancholy characteristics is concerned with NTT1, NTT5 and NTT6; seasonal characteristics are related to NTT4; mixed features are relevant with NTT4 and NTT7; and atypical features are associated with NTT5, NTT7, NTT9. As a result, MDD determinants are found to be associated with temperament types which are coming from NTTM. Discussion: It is seen that temperament, which constitutes the structural basis of personality, is an effective parameter both in the diagnosis and in the individual-specific recognition of symptomatology in MDD patients. In addition, it can be said that temperament can be a discriminating factor in defining MDD specifiers. The development of temperament-oriented diagnosis and treatment strategies in future studies may be beneficial for the practice. © 2020 ANP Publishing. All rights reserved.
