Publication Metadata only The validity and reliability of Pictorial Pediatric Symptom Checklist in children of 4-5 ages(CUMHURIYET UNIV TIP FAK PSIKIYATRI ANABILIM DALI, 2019) KARACA, SEMRA; Oner, Ozge; Karaca, Semra; Cangur, SengulObjective: The objective of this study is to carry out the validity and reliability of Pictorial Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PPSC), in preschool children of 4-5 ages. Methods: This methodological study was carried out by permission of ethics committee from Marmara University Institute of Health Sciences Ethics Committee and permission of Duzce Provincial National Education Directorate. The population of the study consists of 1.512 parents with children of 4-5 ages studying in 26 preschool education institutions in Duzce. The sample of the study is composed of 759 parents who accept to participate in the study and meet the admission criteria. MINRES Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were used to identify and support of the validity of PPSC. The Cronbach's alpha internal consistency, test-retest and Spearman-Brown reliability coefficients were calculated in order to assess the reliability of the checklist. Findings: It was observed that the dataset of the checklist meet multivariate normal distribution and multicollinearity assumptions. According to Cronbach's alpha internal consistency and test-retest validity coefficients, the overall reliability of the checklist is at an acceptable level. As a result of factor analysis, the construct validity of PPSC with five-factor structure was investigated with CFA. Although the suggested model was not considered as meaningful (chi(2)=460.02, df=365, p=0.001), the model has a good fit because it is RMSEA<0.05 and chi(2)/df<2, when other model fit indexes were analyzed. The model has an acceptable fit as indexes SRMR<0.07, CFI, NFI, GFI, and AGFI are close to the values 0.90 or 0.95. Conclusion: The findings show that the PPSC is a valid and reliable screening tool offering the opportunity of identifying psychosocial and behavioral problems in preschool children.Publication Metadata only Validity and Reliability of a Revised Northampton Neonatal Skin Assessment Tool in Turkish Language(KOWSAR PUBL, 2017) KARAKOÇ, AYŞE; Karakoc, Ayse; Duzkaya, Duygu Sonmez; Temizsoy, Ebru; Karaca, Semra; Uysal, Gulzade; Cangur, SengulBackground: It is important to check the skin of neonates on a daily basis so that abnormal conditions and skin problems are identified. Objectives: This study aimed at testing the validity and reliability of a revised Northampton Neonatal skin assessment tool in Turkish; a review to determine whether it is valid and reliable in the care of neonates. Methods: The research had a cross-sectional and methodological design. The data for the study was collected between 1st of January 2015, and 20th of June 2015, at the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of a major training and research hospital in Istanbul/Turkey; 362 neonatal skin assessments were executed. The revised tool's language, face, content, construct validity, and reliability were evaluated. Results: The intra-class correlation coefficient, which indicates interrater reliability, was 1.00 in the study, representing 100% agreement. The Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient revealed that the tool's general reliability was at an acceptable level (C alpha = 0.71). Although the model was not found to be significant (Chi-square = 46.22, df = 17, and P < 0.001), the other model fit indices found RMSEA < 0.07, chi(2)/df < 3, and SRMR< 0.06, which meant that the data had an acceptable fit for the model. The model exhibited a good fit because the CFI, NFI, GFI, and AGFI indices were close to 1. When the model fit indices were evaluated in combination, the CFA model generally had a good fit. The most significant and most prominent effect on the tool was the impact of NNS9 (level of care) indicator (b(9) = 0.86, t value = 17.46 > 1.96). Conclusions: The Turkish version of the revised northampton neonatal skin assessment tool is an appropriate, valid, and reliable instrument to be used in the assessment of neonatal skin, especially of infants at the NICU. The tool may be recommended for use in the care of neonates.Publication Metadata only 3-6 yaş grubu kanser hastası çocukların ebeveynlerinde öz duyarlık, psikolojik dayanıklılık ve depresif belirtiler(2021-08-28) KARACA, SEMRA; Durgut T., KARACA S.Publication Metadata only Otizmli çocuk annelerinde ebeveyn rolüne ilişkin kendilik algısı, sosyal destek ve depresif belirtiler(2021-07-27) KARACA, SEMRA; Akkaya Ç., KARACA S.Publication Metadata only Investigating the Association Between Computer Game Addiction and Social Anxiety in Secondary School Students(AVES PRESS LTD, 2016) KARACA, SEMRA; Karaca, Semra; Gok, Ceren; Kalay, Ebru; Basbug, Mahmut; Hekim, Melis; Onan, Nevin; Barlas, Gul UnsalObjective: This study was conducted to investigate the association between computer game addiction and social anxiety levels in secondary school students. Methods: This study, which was descriptive and cross-sectional in design, was conducted in seven state secondary schools in Istanbul/Kadikoy. The data was collected using the participant information form, computer game addiction scale (CGAS) for children, and child social anxiety scale (CSAS), and the study was completed with 1019 students (556 males and 463 females). Results: Students were aged between 10 and 15 years, and the mean age was 12.85 +/- 1.16 years. Of all students, 54.6% were males and 45.4% were females. Majority (88.6%) of students had an internet connection at home, 98.3% were always playing online games, and 67.2% spent 0.5-3 h/day on the computer. The mean CGAS score was 43.27 +/- 16.31, and the mean CSAS score was 39.06 +/- 13.44. According to the mean CGAS score, 47.7% were normal computer users, 46.7% were problematic computer users, and 5.6% were computer game addicts. A moderately positive correlation was observed between the mean CSAS scores and CGAS total scores and subscale scores (r=0.24-0.31; p<0.01). Conclusion: According to the findings of this study, almost half of the students in the study sample group were problematic computer users. Social anxiety level was not high, and social anxiety was moderately correlated with computer game addiction.Publication Metadata only Madde Bağımlılığı ve Bağımlılıkla İlgili Bozukluklar(Güneş Kitabevi, 2022-10-01) KARACA, SEMRA; Karaca S., Demirdil G.Publication Metadata only Madde bağımlılığı ve bağımlılıkla ilgili bozukluklar(GÜNEŞ TIP KİTABEVLERİ, 2022-01-01) KARACA, SEMRA; KARACA S., DEMİRDİL G.Publication Metadata only The Effects of Psychoeducation on the Expressed Emotion and Family Functioning of the Family Members in First-Episode Schizophrenia(SPRINGER, 2017) KARACA, SEMRA; Oksuz, Emine; Karaca, Semra; Ozaltin, Gulten; Ates, Mehmet AlpayThe aim of this study was to determine the effects of the psychoeducation received by the family members of the patients with first-episode schizophrenia on the expressed emotion (EE) and the family functioning of the family members. This study has a quasi-experimental design with a control group. The sample of the study was 60 family members (30 experimental -30 control) of the patients with first-episode schizophrenia. The experimental group received 9 weeks of psychoeducation as a group. EE and family functioning were assessed at the beginning and at the end of the psychoeducation program. EE criticism/hostility and over involvement-protecting-intervention levels of the family members have decreased at the end of the psychoeducation (p < 0.05). Family functioning has changed too at the end of the psychoeducation (p < 0.05), and assessed as more healthy. Consequently, early psychoeducational groups may be effective in decreasing EE level and improving the family functioning for a family member of patient with first-episode schizophrenia.Publication Metadata only Anne rolü(NOBEL AKADEMİK YAYINCILIK, 2023-01-01) BAYRI BİNGÖL, FADİME; KARACA, SEMRA; BAYRI BİNGÖL F., KARACA S.Publication Metadata only Evaluation of a stress coping course for psychological resilience among a group of university nursing students(WILEY, 2019) ÜNSAL, GÜL; Onan, Nevin; Karaca, Semra; Barlas, Gul UnsalPurpose This study was conducted to evaluate a stress coping course for psychological resilience among a group of university nursing students. Design and Methods This was a quantitative study that had a pretest/posttest design without a control group.
