    (Int Inst Advanced Studies Psychotherapy & Applied Mental Health, 2024) Yastibas-Kacar, Cennet; Yilmaz-Karaman, Imran Gokcen; Mazza, Marianna
    The present study aimed to adapt and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Meteoropathy Scale (METEO-Q) for the Turkish population. Furthermore, it aims to suppress some limitations of the original study by examining construct validity and test-retest reliability, and associations between certain variables. A total of 603 participants (M=34,92, SD=13,57) were recruited. METEO-Q, Seasonal Pattern Assessment Questionnaire (SPAQ), and sociodemographic form were utilized to collect data. To test the construct validity, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were carried out. The exploratory factor analysis result pointed out the presence of a two-factor structure. Two-factor structure exhibited a reasonable model fit in the confirmatory factor analysis. The two factors (meteorosensitivity and meteoropathy), structured checklist and, total score of METEO-Q indicated good reliability (alpha = .86, .88, .95, .93, respectively). Test-retest reliability scores demonstrated good reliability. TheMETEO-Q score was positively associated with SPAQ, gender, self-mutilation, and suicidal behaviors. In conclusion, the Turkish version of METEO-Q provides a valid and reliable measurement tool for the general population.

    Exposure to Psychological Intimate Partner Violence: Resilience to Depression is Related to Social Support and Learned Resourcefulness
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2024) Yastibas-Kacar, Cennet; Cinar, Pinar; Uezuemceker, Emir; Yilmaz-Karaman, Imran Gokcen
    Psychological violence is the most common form of intimate partner violence (IPV). Psychological IPV places women at significant risk for depressive symptoms. Accordingly, this study examined the moderator role of perceived social support and learned resourcefulness (LR) as personal resources in the relationship between psychological IPV and depression. This cross-sectional study was performed via an online survey platform. A total of 168 Turkish women, with a mean age of 33.8, completed a set of measurement tools. Data were assessed using linear regression and two-way and three-way interactions in moderated multiple regression analyses. The results of the study showed that as expected psychological IPV was directly associated with depression (beta = .268, p < .001). To explore the moderator roles, two separate two-way interactions were conducted, and results demonstrated that neither social support nor LR separately moderated the relationship between psychological IPV and depression. However, there was a significant three-way interaction: togetherness of perceived social support with LR moderated the relationship between psychological IPV and depression (beta = -.388, p < .05). More specifically, if women exposed to psychological IPV have high perceived social support and high LR, they are less likely to report depressive symptoms. This finding highlights the positive effect of the combination of personal resources on depression linked to psychological IPV's detrimental effects. The findings were discussed in the light of the relevant literature. Interventions focusing on strengthening social support and fostering LR skills may promote the psychological well-being of women exposed to psychological IPV.

    Psychological Assessment of Health Care Workers in the Aftermath of the February 2023 Earthquakes in Turkey
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2024) Sehlikoglu, Seyma; Kacar, Cennet Yastibas; Yilmaz-Karaman, Imran Gokcen
    Objective:The goal of this study was to examine the psychological and physical effects experienced by health care workers (HCWs) participating in the response to the February 2023 earthquakes in Turkey and to identify any associated factors.Methods:An online survey was used to collect data from HCWs on duty in earthquake-stricken areas. The following assessment tools were utilized: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Checklist for DSM-5, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, Maslach Burnout Inventory, Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, and Short Form-12.Results:A total of 175 HCWs with a mean age of 37.27 years participated in the study. Of these, 39.4% suffered from PTSD, 30.3% experienced depression, and 31.4% experienced anxiety. Female gender, loss of significant others, and previous psychiatric treatment were found to be associated with worse mental health. Nurses tended to have higher levels of PTSD than the medical doctors; the medical doctors had significantly lower scores on the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory compared with the nurses and the other HCWs and lower mental component summary scores on the Short Form-12 compared with the other HCWs. Meeting basic needs and subjective evaluation of teamwork were also linked to mental health. The study also found that marital status, age, and length of time spent in earthquake-stricken areas were associated with scores on the Maslach Burnout Inventory.Conclusions:After the earthquake in Turkey, HCWs experienced a significant amount of various adverse mental health outcomes related to certain demographic variables such as gender, profession, previous psychiatric treatment, loss of relatives, and evaluation of living conditions and teamwork. Since HCWs play an essential role in reducing the harmful effects of disasters, recognizing groups at risk and planning tailored interventions may help prevent mental health issues.
