The effect of psychoeducation on the social skills and problem-solving skills of female prisoners
(2022-01-01) KARACA, SEMRA; KIZILKAYA M., Unsal G., KARACA S.
Objectives: This research was designed to evaluate the effect of education developed to address the psychosocial needs of women in penal institutions related to social skills and problem-solving skills. Methods: The research was conducted between April 2013 and March 2014 with women serving a sentence in 2 Type E, closed prisons in Aydın, Turkey. The data were collected using a personal information form, a brief questionnaire, the Social Skills Inventory (SSI), the Problem-Solving Inventory (PSI) and an evaluation form. Content analysis was used to assess qualitative data, including frequency and percentage distribution, and quantitative data were evaluated using a t-test for dependent groups. Results: The average age of the participants was 37.79±8.94 years, and 48.1% were illiterate. In all, 25.9% of the women were convicted of theft and 72.2% had another 1-4 years remaining to serve. The mean PSI score before the psychoeducation course was 115.72±15.77, and 110.85±14.01 after the program. The mean SSI score was 243.94±31.15 before the psychoeducation course and 248.92±42.59 afterwards. There was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of both scales before and after the psychoeducation program. Conclusion: The psychoeducation program prepared to meet the needs of the female prisoners studied had a positive effect on their social skills and problem-solving skills. The addition of psychoeducation programs to the educational programs offered in penal institutions could be very beneficial. Additional studies with control group monitoring are recommended.

(2021-01-01) KARACA, SEMRA; Kara Z., Karaca S.
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı üniversite öğrencileri örnekleminde toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri ve homofobi arasındaki ilişkilerin incelenmesidir. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipte yapılan çalışma bir devlet üniversitesinde okuyan 1048 üniversite öğrencisi ile yürütüldü. Veriler Bilgi Formu, Toplumsal Cinsiyet Rolleri Tutum Ölçeği ve Eşcinsellere İlişkin Tutumlar Ölçeği ile toplandı. Çalışma verileri bilgisayar ortamında SPSS 21 paket programı kullanılarak analiz edildi. Veriler değerlendirilirken değişkenlerin normal dağılıma uygunluğu Shapiro Wilks testi ile analiz edildi. Sosyodemografik özellikler ve ölçek puan dağılımı tanımlayıcı istatistiksel analizler, bağımsız iki değişkenin karşılaştırılmasında normal dağılıma uygunluk sağlanıyorsa student t testi, sağlanamadığında ise Mann Whitney U testi ile analiz edildi. Ölçek puanları arasındaki ilişkiler Pearson korelasyon analizi ile incelendi. Tüm analizler için anlamlılık p<0.05 düzeyinde kabul edildi. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 20,39±2.23’tü ve %43,9’u erkekti. Öğrencilerin eşcinsellere yönelik tutum ölçeği puan ortalaması 86,71±24,88 olup, %49,04’ü ölçekten ortalamanın üstünde puan aldı. Öğrencilerin toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri puan ortalaması 66,49±22,33’tü. Toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri ve eşcinsellere ilişkin tutum ölçekleri puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı pozitif yönde ilişkiler (r=,310 ile ,651; p=,000) olduğu bulundu. Sonuç: Üniversite öğrencilerinin toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri tutumları daha çok gelenekseldir ve yaklaşık yarısının eşcinsellere ilişkin tutumları homofobiktir. Üniversite öğrencilerinde toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri ile homofobi ilişkilidir ve toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri ölçeğinden alınan puanlar arttıkça homofobi ölçeğinden alınan puanlar da artmaktadır.

Objectives: Because cosmetic/aesthetic surgery has increased dramatically worldwide, it is necessary to evaluate the reasons and psychosocial situation of the persons proposing to undergo this surgery before any surgical intervention. The aims of the current study were to examine the validity and reliability of the Acceptance of Cosmetic Surgery Scale (ACSS) among Turkish persons. Methods: This methodological study was conducted with 584 participants. Content and construct validity studies were carried out to test the validity of the scale. The construct validity was analyzed with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). For the scale's reliability, the techniques of internal consistency and consistency over time were used. Results: The Turkish adaptation of the ACSS was found to be valid, exhibiting a content validity index in the range of 0.80-1 on the item level, and 0.90 at the scale level. The scale displayed a three-factor structure. The total Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the scale was 0.92; the Cronbach's alpha coefficient for Factor 1 (Interpersonal) was 0.81; and 0.86 for Factor 2 (Social). The Cronbach alpha coefficient for Factor 3 (Consider) was 0.90. Conclusion: The ACSS is a valid and reliable tool that can be used in assessing acceptance of cosmetic surgery.

The use of creative art as a strategy for case formulation in psychotherapy a case study
(2014-03-01) KARACA, SEMRA; Karaca S., Eren N.
Case formulation refers to the appraisal of the individual data and the treatment plan in terms of certain principles. In psychotherapy, case formulation is relevant for the recognition of conceptual and clinical tools as well as for the evaluation of the therapeutic endeavor. Artwork (painting) provides an effective tool for case formulation because it allows the individual to express his/her thoughts and emotions, which are prone to the influences of subconscious drives, conflicts, fears, and desires in a symbolic fashion. In this study, case formulation of a 31-year-old woman, who cannot overcome her verbal and physical aggressive behaviors, is presented. For case formulation, four sessions of artwork are used. The main purpose of the present case is to discuss the use of creative artwork as a means for case formulation in dynamic psychotherapy

The effectiveness of the sexual health psychoeducation program for physically disabled adolescents
(2022-11-02) KARACA, SEMRA; Aşık R., Karaca S.
This research was planned to evaluate the effectiveness of the online psychoeducation program including sexual health education in physically disabled adolescents. In this study, a randomized experimental design with pretest-posttest, follow-up measurement, intervention and control groups was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the sexual health online psychoeducation program in adolescents with physical disabilities. The universe of the study consists of adolescent members aged 12-15 in the Turkish Spinal Cord Paralysis Association (N :600). Nearly 90 people with physical disabilities and their families, who were included in the inclusion criteria of the study, were reached through the institution. 62 people were included in the study as a result of the foresights made due to the intensity of their online classes due to the Covid 19 pandemic, and their inability to volunteer for the subject of the research (they are ashamed and do not want to discuss it as a topic to be discussed). Participants were divided into 31 participants as intervention group and 31 participants as control group by randomization method. The intervention group was divided into 3 groups of 10 and a six-week psychoeducation program lasting 60 minutes once a week was applied. At the end of the training, the intervention and control groups were given a post-test and a follow-up test at the end of the 3rd month. As a result of the statistical findings made within the scope of the sexual health knowledge and attitude inventory, when the posttest and 3rd month follow-ups of the experimental group were examined, a significant difference was found in their attitudes towards sexuality, attitudes towards sexual behaviors and attitudes towards sexually transmitted diseases (p<0.05). This study can be a guide for creating a model for the creation of sexual health programs for adolescents with physical disabilities.
