    The effect of emotion recognition and mindfulness on depression symptoms: A case-control study
    (WILEY) Aydin, O; Tvrtkovic, S; Cakiroglu, E; uenal-Aydin, P; Esen-Danaci, A
    Abnormalities in emotion recognition (ER) are frequently reported in depression, with lower recognition accuracy in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) when compared to healthy individuals. Mindfulness was found to directly impact the severity of depressive symptoms, by recognizing negative cognitions and dysfunctional reactions. The aims of this study were to compare ER and mindfulness levels between MDD patients and healthy controls (HCs), as well as to examine whether ER and mindfulness are related to symptom severity in MDD patients. Sixty-eight patients with MDD and 93 HCs participated in the study. A sociodemographic form, reading the mind in the eyes test (RMET), five facet mindfulness questionnaire-short form (FFMQ-S) and the Montgomery-Asberg depression scale (MADRS) were administered. Group comparison in ER and mindfulness was performed using the multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). Bivariate correlations and hierarchical linear regression analyses were performed to assess the associations between depression severity, ER and mindfulness in the patient group. Higher level of mindfulness was found in HCs relative to MDD group, however, no ER difference was present between the groups. A positive association between depression severity and the non-reactivity facet of mindfulness was found. On the other hand, ER was not significantly associated with symptom severity among individuals with MDD. Non-reactivity, unlike other dimensions of mindfulness, seems to increase with the severity of depressive symptoms among MDD patients. A particular focus on this subdimension in mindfulness techniques may yield better outcomes in alleviation of depressive symptoms.

    Adaptation and the Psychometric Properties of Turkish version of the Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM-5-Personality Disorders - Clinician Version (SCID-5-PD/CV)
    (TURKIYE SINIR VE RUH SAGLIGI DERNEGI) Bayad, S; Alp-Topba, Ö; Kocabas, T; Elbir, M; Gökten-Ulusoy, D; Korkmaz, U; Araz, O; Ergüner-Aral, A; Karabekiroglu, A; Aydemir, Ö
    Objective: The aim of this study is to demonstrate the validity and reliability of the Categorical and Dimensional Psychometric Properties of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 Personality Disorders (SCID-5-PD) after its translation to the Turkish. Method: The study was carried out with 102 volunteers from two university hospitals. The SCID interview was conducted by two experienced psychiatrists who interchanged positions as interviewer and observer; and completed the research forms without discussing the patient. The diagnostic agreement between the interviewers and the Kappa coefficient were calculated. Divergent and convergent validity analyses were carried out for diagnostic validity and the scores obtained from the self-report form as well as the dimensional evaluation scores were used in the statistical analyses. Results: The group mean age for volunteers was 39.6 +/- 11.6 years and 66.7% consisted of females. The Kappa values for personality categories were 0.79 for avoidant personality structure, 0.64 for dependent personality structure, 0.81 for obsessive-compulsive personality structure, 0.76 for paranoid personality structure, 0.49 for schizotypal personality structure, 0.90 for histrionic personality structure, 0.66 for narcissistic personality structure, 0.89 for borderline personality structure and 0.71 for antisocial personality structure. Dimensional evaluation showed significant correlation with the diagnostic agreement between the interviewers and also with the scores of the self-report forms completed by the participants. Conclusion: The results demosntrated that the Turkish version of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 Personality Disorders (SCID-5-PD-CV-TR) is valid and reliable.
