    Effectiveness of Individual Psychoeducation on Recurrence in Bipolar Disorder; A Controlled Study
    (W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2015) Gumus, Funda; Buzlu, Sevim; Cakir, Sibel
    This research was conducted as an controlled experimental study which aimed to determine the effectiveness of individual psychoeducation program on recurrence rate during 1 year follow up period. The study included eighty-two patients who had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. There were no hospitalizations in intervention group, while 7.3% of control patients experienced hospitalizations; recurrence rates were 18.9% in the intervention group patients and 34.1% in the control group patients, but statistical significant difference between the groups was not found. Four sessions of individual psychoeducation may have some positive effects but seem to be ineffective for preventing recurrences in patients with bipolar disorder during one year prospective follow up.

    Psychometric properties of the Turkish Version of the Brief Quality of Life in Bipolar Disorder (Brief QoL.BD) Scale
    (Kare Publ, 2018) Gumus, Funda; Cakir, Sibel; Kesebir, Sermin; Michalak, Erin E.; Murray, Greg
    Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Brief Quality of Life in Bipolar Disorder Scale [QoL.BD]. Methods: Conducted using a methodological and identifying design, this study included 76 patients who had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and from whom the data was obtained in 2013. Patients from the mood disorders centers of two different psychiatry clinics constituted the population of the study. The Turkish version of the Brief QoL.BD was assessed in terms of language, content, and structure in the sample of 76 patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Lawshe's methods were used to assess content validity; exploratory factor analysis was used to determine latent structure; and Cronbach's internal consistency coefficient was used to test internal reliability. Results: The study included 76 patients diagnosed as bipolar I and II. Content validity of the 12-item scale was found to be strong (Lawshe index =.82), as was the internal reliability of the scale [alpha =.86]. Factorability of the correlation matrix was confirmed, and a single factor extraction was suggested on the basis of the scree plot and Velicer's minimum average partial test. This single factor explained 36.05% of the variance, with all items having positive loadings and six items having factor loadings >.3. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the Brief QoL.BD was concluded to have adequate internal reliability and validity for assessing disorder-specific quality of life in euthymic patients with bipolar disorders.

    A Sample Individual Psychoeducation Model for Bipolar Disorder
    (Kare Publ, 2016) Gumus, Funda; Buzlu, Sevim; Cakir, Sibel
    Individual psychoeducation model for bipolar disorder is a four-session program aiming to provide various knowledge and skills to bipolar disorder patients about their disorder and developed by the authors and can easily be applied by practitioners and researchers working in this field. The program consists of four sessions; introduction to the psychoeducation program and information about the disorder, symptoms, developing an emergency plan to prevent the recurrence of the disorder and legal rights, assessing effects and side effects of drugs, and communication and problem-solving skills. The purpose of this study is to introduce the individual psychoeducation model for bipolar disorder and mention the results of similar psychoeducation studies. The results of the study show that the individual psychoeducation program for bipolar disorder may be an appropriate and effective program for patients.
