    The effect of empathy skills of psychiatric nurses on their attitudes and practices towards the use of physical restraint
    (Wiley, 2021) Yildirim usenmez, Tulay; Gumus, Funda
    Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of empathy skills of psychiatric nurses on their attitudes and practices towards the use of physical restraint. Design and Methods: This cross-sectional, correlational, descriptive study included 100 nurses (88.49% of the population). Data were collected using a sociodemographic characteristics form, the empathy skills scale (ESS) form B, and the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of staff towards physical restraints questionnaire (KAPS-PR) were used. Findings: The total mean ESS score was found to be 152.34 +/- 24.44, indicating moderate empathy skills. Mean KAPS-PR scores were 29.54 +/- 4.43 for the attitude scale and 33.94 +/- 3.26 for the practice scale, indicating appropriate attitudes and ideal practices related to physical restraint, respectively. ESS score was significantly higher among nurses with higher educational levels (p = .001) and weakly correlated with KAPS-PR attitude score (r = .25; p < .05). Implications for Practice: Improving the empathy skills of psychiatric nurses could improve their attitudes towards physical restraint, thereby reducing its use.

    Effect of Psychoeducation on Stress in Parents of Children With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder A Randomized Controlled Study
    (Slack Inc, 2020) Gumus, Funda; Ergun, Gul; Dikec, Gul
    The current experimental pre-/posttest study sought to determine the effect of psychoeducation on the stress levels of parents of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A total of 172 parents participated and were randomly assigned to experimental (n = 86) and control (n = 86) groups. There was no significant difference between mean pretest scores of parents in the experimental and control groups on the Caregiver Stress Scale (p > 0.005); however, significant differences were found between pre- and posttest scores in the experimental group after psychoeducation and at 6-month follow up (p < 0.001). There were also significant differences between pre- and posttest scores and pretest scores and 6-month follow-up scores in the experimental group (p < 0.05). In the light of the findings, psychiatric nurses can use psychoeducation programs to support families of children with ADHD to reduce their stress levels.

    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.

    Examining the relationship between traumatic growth and psychological resilience in young adult children of parents with and without a mental disorder
    (Wiley, 2018) Ergun, Gul; Gumus, Funda; Dikec, Gul
    Aim and objectivesTo investigate the relationship between traumatic growth and psychological resilience in young adult children of parents with a mental disorder and to compare them with young adult children of parents without mental disorders. BackgroundNegative life experiences that lead to trauma can affect young adults' psychological resilience, either positively or negatively. This study investigates levels of traumatic growth, the characteristics of psychological resilience and the relationship between the former and latter in young adults between the ages of 18-23 who have parents with a mental disorder and who have parents without a mental disorder. DesignThis study was designed as a cross-sectional, descriptive study and was conducted between June 1 and October 31, 2017. MethodsThe sample of the study consisted of young adult children of outpatients with mental disorders who applied to the Psychiatric Polyclinics of Burdur State Hospital (334) and young adult children of parents without mental disorders who applied to different polyclinics (332). A total of 666 individuals participated in the study. ResultsComparative analyses showed a significant difference between the participants who had parents with a mental disorder and participants who had parents without mental disorders in terms of the mean scale scores and all subscale scores on the Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory and Resilience Scale for Adults. ConclusionIt was found that individuals who had parents without a mental disorder were negatively affected after traumatic events and that their psychological resilience was high. Relevance to clinical practiceThis study provides data on the characteristics of traumatic growth and psychological resilience levels of not only young adults whose parents have mental disorders but also young adults whose parents do not have mental disorders. In the light of this study's findings, psychiatric nurses may benefit from conducting early screening and intervention programmes to help increase the psychological resilience of young adults whose parents have mental disorders.

    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.

    Relation Among Anxiety and Family Burden in Primary First-Degree Caregivers of Outpatients with Mental Disorders in Turkey
    (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2018) Dikec, Gul; Ergun, Gul; Gumus, Funda
    The aim of this study was to determine the relation among anxiety and family burden in primary first-degree relative caregivers of outpatients with mental disorders in Turkey. Data were collected with patients' primary first-degree relative caregivers via the Information Form, Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Perceived Family Burden Scale (PFBS). In all, 481 caregivers (325 women and 156 men) participated in this study. Based on this study's results, primary caregivers of patients with mental disorders had a moderate level anxiety, and as anxiety increased, family burden also increased. Those results suggest that mental health nurses should plan interventions not only for patients, but also for their family member or their caregivers to decrease anxiety level.
