    (2023-05-01) SARISALTIK, ALİCAN; HIDIROĞLU, SEYHAN; KARAVUŞ, MELDA; Neng B., Sarısaltık A., Hıdıroğlu S., Karavuş M.
    The aim of this study was to evaluate the autism awareness of mothers having typically developing children at preschool age and to investigate the validity and reliability of the Autism Awareness of Mothers Scale (AAMS). This methodological study was conducted with 136 mothers applying to a family health center in Istanbul, Türkiye. Data were collected in July-August 2021. The AAMS was a 4-point Likert-type scale and consisted of a total of 23 items. The factor structure of the scale was extracted by performing exploratory factor analysis. The median age of the participants was 32 years. Almost all the participants (91.9%) stated that they had heard the word ‘autism’ before. One-third of the mothers defined autism as a “social interaction problem” (33.1%). As a result of factor analysis, the AAMS had a two-factor structure, with Eigenvalues of 7.480 for Factor 1 and 4.978 for Factor 2 and explained 54.17% of total variance. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found to be 0.947 for AAMS (0.933 and 0.876 for subscales, respectively). According to our results, AAMS is a valid and reliable measurement tool. It can be used in Türkiye and in Turkish to determine autism awareness of mothers of typically developing preschool children.

    (2023-03-01) YILDIZ, MESUT; HIDIROĞLU, SEYHAN; YILDIZ M., Batun K. D., Sahinoglu H., Eryilmaz M. S., Ozel B., Ataoglu B., HIDIROĞLU S.
    Background. Doctors have higher rates of mental illness and suicide than the general population worldwide. Suicides of doctors are known to be underreported in developing countries. To the best of our knowledge, there are no studies investigating suicides among medical students and doctors in Turkey.Objectives. To investigate the characteristics of suicides in medical school students and doctors in Turkey.Materials and methods. In this retrospective study, newspaper websites and Google search engine were searched for information on medical school student and doctor suicides in Turkey between 2011 and 2021. Cases of suicide attempt, parasuicide or deliberate self-harm were not included in the study.Results. Sixty-one suicides were reported between 2011-2021. There was a male predominance (45 (73.8%)), and more than half of the suicides (32 (52.5%)) occurred among specialist doctors. Self poisoning, jumping from heights and firearms were the most common methods of suicide (18 (29.5%), 17 (27.9%) and 15 (24.6%), respectively). Cardiovascular surgery, family medicine, gynecology, and obstetrics specialties had the highest numbers of suicide deaths. Depression/mental illness was the most common speculated etiology. These results show that suicides among medical students and doctors in Turkey have characteristics that differ from both suicided among the general population in Turkey and doctor suicides in other countries.Conclusions. In this study, we identified the suicidal characteristics of medical students and doctors in Turkey for the first time. The results help us to better understand this understudied topic and provide an avenue for future studies. The data also indicate that it is important to monitor the individual and systemic difficulties experienced by doctors, starting from the medical education stage, and to provide individual and environmental support to help decrease the risk of suicide.

    Toplumdaki genç yetişkinlerin obeziteye yaklaşımının değerlendirilmesine yönelik niteliksel bir çalışma
    (2023-04-01) KARAVUŞ, MELDA; HIDIROĞLU, SEYHAN; Ataoğlu B. N., Önder Kutlu C., Acınıklı M., Yıldırım M., Büyükyılmaz Z., Hıdıroğlu S., Karavuş M.
    Amaç: Bu araştırmayla genç yetişkinlerin obeziteye ve olası stigmaya ilişkin bilgi, tutum ve yaklaşımlarının derinlemesine görüşmeler ile niteliksel olarak ortaya konması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırmada yarı-yapılandırılmış soru rehberi ile derinlemesine görüşme yöntemi uygulanmıştır. Araştırmaya sağlık çalışanı olmayan genç yetişkinler (18-35 yaş) gönüllülük esasıyla dahil edilmiştir. Görüşmeler Mayıs 2021’de çevrimiçi olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Toplam 10 katılımcıyla görüşme yapılmıştır. Yapılan görüşmelerin transkriptlerinin tamamlanmasının ardından görüşmeleri yapan araştırmacılar tarafından Atlas.ti programı ile fenomenolojik analiz yapılarak kod listesi oluşturulmuş, elde edilen kodlara göre ana temalar ve alt temalar oluşturulmuştur. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılanların beşi erkek beşi kadın olup yaş ortalaması 32,9’dur. Katılımcıların yarısından fazlası obezitenin tanımına ilişkin gerçeğe yakın bilgiye sahipti. Katılımcıların yarısı obez bireylerin arkadaşlık ilişkilerinin obezitesinden etkilenmediğini ancak çoğunluğu romantik ilişkilerinin etkilendiğini düşünmekteydi. Katılımcıların çoğunluğu obez bireylerde özgüven eksikliği olduğunu düşünmekteydi. Katılımcıların neredeyse tamamı obez bireylerin fiziksel güç gerektiren işlerde zorlanacağını ve neredeyse yarısı obez bireylere masabaşı bir iş vereceklerini söylemiştir. Çoğunluk obezitenin hiçbir avantajının olmadığını yalnızca bir katılımcı askere gitmemenin, bir katılımcı cinsel tacizi önlemenin ve bir katılımcı çocuklukta heybetli durmanın avantaj olabileceği görüşündeydi. Katılımcılar, ailenin bireyleri sağlıksız beslenmeye yönlendirmesinin yanında toplumun yemek kültürünün de obezite gelişiminde etkisi olduğunu ifade etmişlerdir. Katılımcıların çoğunluğu obez erkeklerin daha az stigmatize edildiğini, kadınların ise bir kalıba sokulmaya çalışıldığını belirtmiştir. Obeziteye yönelik stigmatizasyonun aşılması için katılımcıların yarısından fazlası toplumun eğitimi ve bilinçlendirilmesi gerektiğini belirtmiştir. Sonuçar ve Öneriler: Obez bireylerin eğitim ve çalışma hayatında diğer herkesle eşit fırsatlara ulaşabilmesi önemlidir. Eğitim kurumlarının ve medyanın desteği ile obezite farkındalığı arttırılarak stigmanın önüne geçilebilir.

    Delivering the thinking healthy programme as a universal group intervention integrated into routine antenatal care: a randomized-controlled pilot study
    (2023-12-01) BORAN, PERRAN; DÖNMEZ, MELİKE; BARIŞ, HATİCE EZGİ; ALTAŞ, ZEYNEP MEVA; HIDIROĞLU, SEYHAN; SAVE, DİLŞAD; BORAN P., DÖNMEZ M., Barış E., Us M. C., ALTAŞ Z. M., Nisar A., Atif N., Sikander S., HIDIROĞLU S., SAVE D., et al.
    © 2023, The Author(s).Background: Women with perinatal depression and their children are at increased risk of poor health outcomes. There is a need to implement non-stigmatizing interventions into existing health systems which reduce psychosocial distress during pregnancy and prevent perinatal depression. We adapted the WHO-endorsed Thinking Healthy Programme (THP) to be delivered universally to all women attending routine online pregnancy schools in Istanbul, Turkey. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of this intervention. Methods: This mixed-methods study incorporated a two-arm pilot randomized controlled trial and qualitative evaluation of the feasibility and acceptability of the adapted THP – Brief Group version (THP-BGV) to a range of stakeholders. We recruited pregnant women at 12-30 weeks’ gestation through pregnancy schools within the University Hospital’s catchment area. Women in the intervention arm received five online sessions of the THP-BGV delivered by antenatal nurses. The intervention employed principles of cognitive behaviour therapy to provide psychoeducation, behaviour activation, problem-solving strategies and group support to participants. In the control arm, women received usual care consisting of routine online educational pregnancy classes aided by the antenatal nurses. The women were assessed for depressive symptoms with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale at baseline and 4-6 weeks post-intervention and also evaluated for anxiety, perceived social support, partner relationship, level of disability and sleep quality. In-depth interviews were conducted with women and other key stakeholders. Results: Of the 99 consecutive women referred to the pregnancy schools, 91 (91.9%) were eligible and 88 (88.8%) consented to participate in the study and were randomized. Eighty-two (83%) completed the final assessments. Our main findings were that this preventive group intervention was feasible to be integrated into routine antenatal educational classes and it was valued by the women and delivery-agents. While the study was not powered to detect differences between intervention and control conditions, we found small trends towards reduction in anxiety and depressive symptoms favoring the intervention arm. No serious adverse events were reported. Conclusions: Given the paucity of preventive interventions for perinatal depression in low and middle-income countries, a fully powered definitive randomized controlled trial of this feasible and acceptable intervention should be conducted. Trial registration: The study was registered at Clinical Trails.gov (NCT04819711) (Registration Date: 29/03/2021).

    The emotions experienced by family medicine residents and interns during their clinical trainings: a qualitative study
    (2023-01-01) HIDIROĞLU, SEYHAN; YILDIZ İNANICI, SİNEM; GÜLPINAR, MEHMET ALİ; Tanrıöver Ö., Peker Ş., Hıdıroğlu S., Kitapçıoğlu D., Yıldız İnanıcı S., Karamustafalioğlu N., Gülpınar M. A.
    Background: The family medicine residents and final year medical students are challenged with increased workload and they experience various emotions during their clinical trainings. They are confronted with uncertainties in their role descriptions and they witness illness, suffering and deaths as part of their everyday duties which may lead to burnout. Only several studies have focused on these experiences to find out what the family medicine residents and medical students were literally feeling. Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the family medicine residents’ and final year medical students’ emotions during their clinical trainings. Method: This qualitative study was performed with 15 family medicine residents and 24 final-year medical students using a convenience sample from two medical faculties to explore and analyze their emotions. Data were gathered by means of focus group interviews, including six interviews conducted and recorded through online meetings. Data were analyzed for themes using a thematic analysis approach. Since the interviews reached saturation in terms of content, the interviews were terminated at the end of sixth focus group meetings. Each interview took an average of 45–60 min. Results: Three main themes emerged from the data regarding residents’ and interns’ emotions. These were the \"clinical climate’s role\", \"emotions during patient encounters\" and \"coping strategies with negative emotions\". The most commonly encountered emotions were tension and anxiety followed by frustration and uncertainty. Conclusions: The family medicine residents and final-year medical students are challenged with emotions during their clinical trainings. Therefore, medical educators have to be aware of the need to support them in reflecting their emotions by prioritizing residents’and interns’ well-being

    A descriptive study assessing the infodemic medical students faced during COVID-19 pandemic
    (2023-10-01) HIDIROĞLU, SEYHAN; KARAVUŞ, MELDA; Ataoğlu B. N., Hıdıroğlu S., Çetin H., Gümüş E. G., Kılınç M., Köksal C., Karavuş M.
    With COVID-19, a new pandemic on worldwide basis emerged. An infodemic is a rapid and far-reaching spread of both accurate and inaccurate information about certain issues. Misinformation and disinformation can spread like a virus from person to person and affect people like a disease. The aim of this descriptive study was to assess the infodemic the medical students faced during COVID-19 pandemic. Second (n = 266) and third (n = 242) graders from a medical school in Istanbul, Tu¨rkiye were the study population. The study was completed with a total of 181 participants, 98 students from second grade and 83 from third grade who accepted to be included in the study in February 2022 while the COVID-19 pandemic was still continuing. A 5 point scale lickert type questionnaire was prepared and applied by the researchers to measure how much and particularly on which aspects the participants faced infodemic. Nearly half of the participants (47.5%) believed that they ‘almost always thought there was a COVID-19 infodemic’. As the most important causes of this infodemic the participants stated were ‘It is a new virus ‘ (31.5%) and ‘It affects daily routine life’ (31.5%). Around 40.9 % of the participants believed that the COVID-19 infodemic ‘adversely affected their health,’ 23.2% reporting low-mood and 15.5% anxiety. Around 52.5% of the participants stated that the COVID-19 infodemic had a negative impact on their general learning process at school. Additionally, 69.9% of the participants declared that they may not have shared anything that might have been the cause of any infodemic during the pandemic. Health authorities and educators should be aware that infodemic exists freely, adversely affecting health and education.
