    Dream anxiety, chronotype and dipping pattern in hypertensive patients assessed with 24 h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
    (SPRINGER JAPAN KK, 2016) SAKALLI KANİ, AYŞE; Kani, Ayse Sakalli; Sunbul, Murat; Kani, Haluk Tarik; Yanartas, Omer; Tezcan, Neslihan; Emul, Murat
    The purpose of the present study was to investigate dream anxiety, impulsivity, and chronotypes in patients with dipper/non-dipper hypertension and to compare with healthy controls. Sixty-two patients diagnosed with hypertension and 33 healthy individuals were recruited in this study. A history of current psychiatric illness or psychotropic drug usage, significant cardiac, medical or neurological disease and pregnancy were the exclusion criterias for the study. All patients and healthy controls underwent 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. The Van Dream Anxiety Scale, Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire, Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory, Barratt Impulsivity Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were administered to all participants. There were two groups; patients with hypertension (dipper, n = 26 and non-dipper, n = 36) and healthy controls (n = 33). No differences between groups among gender (chi(2) = 4.42 and p = 0.110) and mean age (F = 0.239 and p = 0.795) were found. In patients with hypertension; dream anxiety, impulsivity, depression and trait anxiety scores were significantly higher than healthy controls. Sleep quality was poorer in patients with hypertension and there was no difference according to chronotype between patients and controls. There were no differences between dipper and non-dipper groups according to dream anxiety, sleep quality, impulsivity, state-trait anxiety, and depressive scores. In conclusion, dream anxiety is a previously unaddressed psychological entity that, in addition to anxiety, depression, impulsivity and poorer sleep quality, appears in hypertensive patients. Longitudinal studies with larger sample sizes would be valuable to elucidate the relationship between dream anxiety and hypertension patterns.

    Impact of expectant mother's knowledge level about fetal anomaly scan on their state anxiety prior to antenatal ultrasound screening
    (TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD) SAKALLI KANİ, AYŞE; Sakalli Kani, Ayse; Esim Buyukbayrak, Esra; Dural, Uzay; Oguz, Seren; Yavuzer, Ozlem; Yanartas, Omer; Topcuoglu, Volkan
    Objective: We aimed to investigate the role of expectant mothers' background antenatal ultrasound knowledge on their state anxiety when they apply for the ultrasound examination. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in perinatology outpatient clinic of a university hospital. Expectant mothers who applied for the first trimester ultrasound scan and second trimester anomaly scan were recruited to the study. A self-report form was applied to participants to assess the sociodemographic characteristics, obstetric history, knowledge and attitudes toward antenatal ultrasound. Expectant mothers' state anxiety prior to ultrasound scan was measured with the state sub-scale of State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Results: A total of 500 expectant mothers (220 in the first trimester and 280 in the second trimester) were included to the study. We found a negative correlation between the participants' age and state anxiety level (r = -0.118, p < .01). Also, participants' education level had a significant effect on their state anxiety level (F (2, 497)=5.91, p < .01). Participant's age significantly predicted lower state anxiety level (beta = -0.10, t = -2.09, p < .05). We did not find any significant relationship between the mean knowledge level of mothers and state anxiety levels of mothers (r = -0.07, p > .05). Conclusion: Age was the only affecting factor on anxiety levels before ultrasound scan in pregnant participants. There was no significant effect of background knowledge on state anxiety.
