    (ANP Publishing, 2020) Bilaç Ö.; Önder A.; Kavurma C.; Doğan Y.; Uzunoğlu G.; Isildar Y.; Sapmaz Ş.Y.
    Objective: In this study we aimed to evaluate attitudes, attachment styles to their husbands and competence perceptions of the mothers towards their children's problems whose children were at pre-school period with no cognitive developmental delay. Method: Fourty children and their mothers were included into the study. The children were chosen among those who were aged between 0-72 months and had no developmental delay which was found out as a result of developmental test. As the control group, another 40 children and their mothers were included into the study. Child Adjustment and Parent Efficacy Scale (CAPES-TR) and Parent Attitude Research Instrument (PARI) were handed out to mothers in both groups. Finally, Experiences in Close Relationship Revised (ECC-R) was applied to mothers of both groups. SPSS20 was used for statistical analysis. Results: According to CAPES-TR results, emotional, behavioural and social problems in the group that were admitted to psychiatry clinic were higher than control group (p<0.05). According to same scale, mothers' self-confidence was found significantly lower (p<0.05). According to PARI results, the score of the group that applied to clinic for over-motherhood reasons was found higher (p<0.05). Likewise, authoritative attitude score was found higher in patient group (p<0.05). Discussion: The results of this study share similarities with other studies which found out that parental child-rearing attitude presents a risk factor for behavioural problems among children. © 2020 ANP Publishing.

    Validity and reliability of the internalized stigma of Mental Illness Scale–Adolescent Form
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2021) Dikeç G.; Bilaç Ö.; Uzunoğlu G.; Ozan E.
    Purpose: The goal of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale–Adolescent Form (ISMI-AF). Methods: A total of 145 adolescents (12–18 years of age) who were diagnosed with at least one mental disorder according to DSM-5-TR participated in the study. Data were collected at a mental health hospital between October 2017 and 2019 using a sociodemographic information form, the ISMI-AF, and Beliefs towards Mental Illness (BMI) Scale. Reliability (Cronbach's alpha, Split–Half, Spearman–Brown, Hotelling T2 test) and validity analyses of the ISMI-AF were performed. SPSS 26.0 and LISREL 8.80 software were used for statistical analyses. Results: The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for total score was.88, Split–Half score was.84, and the Spearman–Brown factor score was.85. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the scale confirmed to the five-factor structure in adolescents, but factor loadings and reliability coefficients were low in the “stigma resistance” subscale. There was a positive and weak correlation between ISMI-AF and BMI (r =.37, p =.00). Conclusion: The ISMI-AF is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used in adolescents. This scale can help psychiatric nurses who work in this field identify and address internalized stigma, which is one of the key factors affecting adherence to treatment, especially in adolescents. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC

    The eating attitudes, sleep and personality characteristics, and effects of on acne severity in adolescents with acne vulgaris
    (2021) Bilaç Ö.; Bilaç C.; Tahıllıoğlu A.; Uzun A.D.; Dilcan M.; Önder A.; Kavurma C.; Uzunoğlu G.
    Background: Acne vulgaris (AV) is a very common dermatological problem during adolescence. It is reported that it has a multifactorial etiology and nutritional attitudes, insufficient and poor-quality sleep may cause increased severity of AV. Aim: We aimed to investigate the sleep, eating attitudes and personality traits, and their effects on acne severity in adolescents with acne. Methods: The study sample was formed of 37 adolescent girls aged 12–18 years who presented at the University Dermatology Clinic and were diagnosed with AV and 37 adolescents without AV-matched age and gender. Eating attitude test, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 (DSM-5) Personality Inventory Child Form, and child and parent forms of DSM-5 Level 2 Sleep Disorders were applied to in both groups. The AV severity assessed by using the Global Acne Grading Scale (GAGS). Psychiatric diagnosis was excluded with clinical interview according to the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for school-aged children: Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL-DSM-5-T). Results: The mean age of adolescents with and without AV was 15.3 (standard deviation [SD] = 1.7), 15.4 (SD = 1.8), respectively. The mean disease duration of adolescents with AV was 20.4 (SD = 15.2) months, and the mean GAGS score was 23.24 (SD = 9.4). It was determined that eating attitudes, sleep, and personality characteristics of adolescents were similar in both groups. Eating attitudes, sleep, and personality characteristics had no direct effect on acne severity. Conclusion: Although this study demonstrates that eating attitudes, sleep, and personality characteristics were similar in adolescents with and without AV and these variables had no effect on acne severity, these results may have been obtained because of the severity scores of adolescents with AV were “moderate.” There is a need for researches examining these variables in adolescents with “severe” AV. © 2021 Turkish Journal of Dermatology.

    Analysis of Substance Use and Mental Disorder Diagnoses in Adolescents with a History of Delinquency: a Cross-sectional Study
    (Springer, 2024) Baysan Arabacı L.; Dikeç G.; Taş Soylu G.; Bilaç Ö.; Uzunoğlu G.; Ayakdaş Dağlı D.
    This study aimed to evaluate substance use and comorbid mental disorders in delinquent adolescents presenting to a child and adolescent psychiatry outpatient clinic. This study included 47 adolescents aged 15–18 years and had a history of delinquency. Data were collected using the Addiction Profile Index Adolescent Form (API-A) and an information form. Results indicated that the adolescents’ mean age is 16.11 ± 1.05 years, 78.7% had committed crimes against property and 34.0% against the person, and 34.0% were also victims of crime. Mean API-A total scores indicated that their level of substance use was low. In addition, mean API-A total scores showed significant differences according to the adolescents’ migration status, age, economic status, school attendance, mental disorder diagnosis, duration of mental disorder, and type of offense (p < 0.05). The benefit provided by timely and appropriate psychosocial interventions may have a key role in solving this problem for adolescents and improving their future as adults. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2022.
