    The relationship between subjective experience of childhood abuse and neglect and depressive symptoms during pregnancy
    (ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2017) YOLDEMİR, AHMET TEVFİK; Inanici, Sinem Yildiz; Inanici, Mehmet Akif; Yoldemir, A. Tevfik
    Introduction: Childhood abuse and neglect have devastating effects in adulthood such as depression. During pregnancy, depression's effects in women have great importance due to its serious consequences for both children and families. It is aimed to find out a relationship between childhood abuse/neglect and depression among pregnant women. Method: One-hundred-forty-four married and healthy volunteer pregnant women were recruited between February-May 2015 during their regular hospital visit. Beck Depression Inventory and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire were used to evaluate depression and childhood abuse experiences. Results: The participants' mean age was 29.37 years (SD +/- 4.71) and the average duration gestation was 28.81 weeks (SD = 5.05). Depressed women tended to get marry earlier (M = 21.07, SD = 3.47) than the non-depressed group (M = 22.55, SD = 3.36) (p = 0.012) and they had higher number of lifetime gestations (M = 3.31, SD = 2.06) than their non-depressed counterparts (M = 2.33, SD = 1.26) (p = 0.001). Each abuse and neglect score helped to predict the participants' depression scores. Conclusions: Scanning of pregnant women for both depression and childhood trauma will give change to health providers to support this vulnerable group and their prospective children.

    Self-efficacy in abused and neglected pregnant women: attachment theory and theory of mind perspectives
    (TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2021) YILDIZ İNANICI, SİNEM; Inanici, Sinem Yildiz; Akgun, Busra; Karatas, Hakan Omer
    Traumatic experiences in childhood shape victims' working models of themselves and others. Disrupted working models due to childhood abuse and neglect (CAN) mediates poor behavioural outcomes in adulthood. Pregnancy is a period that requires mothers to adopt their new roles and activates the aforementioned working models. Hence, the relationships between CAN history and attachment, and the theory of mind and parental self-efficacy were investigated. Two-hundred and eighty-three physically healthy pregnant women, with mean age of 28.72 (SD = 5.59), participated in the study voluntarily. CAN, attachment styles, perceived maternal self-efficacy and theory of mind were evaluated. One hundred and three women (36.4%) were categorized as abused. The abused group had significantly higher scores for preoccupied and indifferent attachment types. The preoccupied attachment score had negative correlation with achievement in theory of mind test. The non-abused group's perceived self-efficacy in parenting skills and in the baby's emotion dimensions were better than the abused group. Number of children, total abuse score and secure attachment score had effect on maternal self-efficacy score. Parents' negative experiences may have a relationship with their parental roles. Understanding of the attachment patterns and related factors may play an important role in strengthening the parent-infant relationship.

    Factors associated with physicians' assessment and management of child abuse and neglect: A mixed method study
    (ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2020) İNANICI, MEHMET AKİF; Inanici, Sinem Yildiz; Celik, Emine; Hidiroglu, Seyhan; Ozdemir, Mikail; Inanici, M. Akif
    Physicians are a professional group that is highly likely to encounter abused or at-risk children. The aim of this study is to investigate physicians' experiences with abuse cases, their evaluations of abuse risk factors, and their attitudes toward becoming more educated on the subject. One-hundred-sixty-four family physicians at family health centers and public health centers completed a questionnaire, and a group of residents at a university training and research hospital were interviewed in a semi-structured format. One-fifth of the participants had managed a child abuse case at least once. Nearly half of the participants reported acting alone in diagnosing and managing abuse cases. Sixty-eight percent of these physicians stated they would like to receive training on this subject. Gender and having children did not make a difference as to the abuse-management experience of these medical professionals. Female participants placed more importance on risk factors related to children with mental disabilities and alcohol and substance abuse in parents than their male counterparts. Difficulties in diagnosis, concerns about handling the abuse cases, the impact of culture, various risk factors, the importance of teamwork and a holistic approach, the need for practical training, and the importance of primary prevention were themes that emerged from this survey. This study provides inferences as to which of the physician competencies should be targeted in undergraduate medical education.

    The emotions experienced by family medicine residents and final year medical students during their patient encounters: A qualitative study
    (2022-05-15) YILDIZ İNANICI, SİNEM; GÜLPINAR, MEHMET ALİ; HIDIROĞLU, SEYHAN; TANRIÖVER Ö., PEKER Ş., HIDIROĞLU S., KİTAPÇIOĞLU D., YILDIZ İNANICI S., KARAMUSTAFALIOĞLU N., GÜLPINAR M. A.
    Background: The family medicine residents and final year medical students are challenged with increased workload and they experience various emotions during their patient encounters. They are confronted with uncertainities in their role descriptions and they witness illness, sufferings and deaths as part of their everyday duties. Only several studies have focused on these experiences to find out what the family medicine residents and medical students were literally feeling. The aim of this study was to explore the family medicine residents and final year medical students’ emotions during their patient encounters. Research questions: What do the family medicine residents and final year medical students feel during their patient encounters? How do family medicine residents and final year medical students deal with emotionally challenging situations? Method: This qualitative study was performed with 12 family medicine residents and 24 final year medical students using a convenience sample from two medical faculties to explore and analyse their emotions. Data were gathered by means of focus group interviews, including six interviews conducted and recorded through online meetings. Results: Three main themes emerged from the data regarding residents’ and students’ emotions. The first theme was the perceived negative feelings on the climate of clinical settings. The most commonly encountered emotions were the tension and anxiety followed by frustration and uncertainty. The second theme was the challenge of reflecting emotions during patient encounters. They stated that they struggled with hiding their emotions from the patients. The third one was feelings of insufficiency. Both residents and students thought that they had insufficient medical knowledge and skills. Conclusions: The family medicine residents and final year medical students are challenged with emotions during their patient encounters. Therefore, medical educators have to be aware of the need to sup

    Different Types of Bully Experiences and Their Relationship with Attachment to Father and Moral Maturity
    (SPRINGER, 2021) YILDIZ İNANICI, SİNEM; Inanici, Sinem Yildiz
    Bullying is a common misbehavior among some adolescent groups. It is a multifaceted phenomenon so it is important that researchers consider family related variables in addition to developmental ones. The aim of this study was to investigate whether moral maturity and attachment to father are associated with specific types of bullying experiences. Six hundred and forty eight adolescents (M = 15.86, SD = 0.94) participated in the study. Participants were 9th-11th grade students. The questionnaire included demographic information, The Revised Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire and Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment (Father Form-Short). Descriptives, frequencies, Chi-square Tests, Kruskal-Wallis Test, Spearman correlation, and Multinomial Regression Analysis were executed. Students categorized by their bullying experiences as follows: 40.5% (n = 256) were neither bully nor victim; 13.3% (n = 84) were only bully; 20.3% (n = 128) only victim and 25.9% (n = 164) were both bully and victim. Neither bully nor victim group had the highest rate of not witnessing to a violent act in a lifetime. And this group had better scores for attachment to father and moral maturity than the other bully groups. Age, gender, moral maturity and witnessing a violent crime emerged as predictors for belonging to bully experience groups. Different variables must be considered as predictors for several bullying groups. Results imply that being female is a vulnerability to be a victim and prevention programs must support students' moral maturity. Also, screening the students for possible past traumatic experiences and providing psychological help to traumatized ones are other important implications.

    Risk factors for violence against women by intimate partners in Sakarya, Turkey
    (ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2015) İNANICI, MEHMET AKİF; Agcay, Guler; Inanici, Sinem Yildiz; Colak, Basar; Inanici, Mehmet Akif
    Objectives: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is an important public health problem in many countries including Turkey, with serious short- and long-term physical and mental health consequences, as well as significant social and public health costs. To understand the violence characteristics and the individual risk factors for both the married women victims and the perpetrator partners are the objectives of this study. Methodology: 243 married women, who have consulted to hospitals and village clinics between 2008 and 2009 with the mean age of 36.76 (SD = 11.59), accepted to participate in the study voluntarily. Participants were divided into two groups as victimized (58.8%, n = 143) and non-victimized (41.2%, n = 100) women. Victimized group consisted of women who have had any type of violence from their husbands during their life. A 61-item questionnaire was prepared that included items on demographics, IPV experience, attitudes about IPV and knowledge of legal rights. Results: As compared to non-victimized group, women in victimized group mostly lived in villages than in town/city centers, were illiterate, had bride-price agreement and were younger when married. Place of accommodation, age and number of pregnancies were associated with the risk of victimization. Conclusions: In order to prevent IPV, further qualitative research is required to evaluate the involved risk factors and training programs on how to behave against violence in association with the legal rights should be designed for poorly educated women in their natural settings and hospitals.
