(Springer, 2014) Tathan, Ece; Yilmaz, Tugba; Bozo, Ozlem; 02.04. Psikoloji; 02. Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya Üniversitesi
The present study investigated possible Type C personality-quality of life (QOL) relationship, and the moderating role of perceived social support in this relation among 101 postoperative breast cancer patients. Participants were from different cities in Turkey but receiving treatment in the capital, Ankara. Obtained data were analyzed by moderated regression analysis. According to the results, Type C personality was not related to the QOL of participants, however, higher perceived social support was associated with better QOL in patients. Also, perceived social support moderated Type C personality-QOL relation. Accordingly, patients high on Type C personality and perceived social support had the highest QOL. In contrast, patients high on Type C personality and low on perceived social support had the lowest QOL. Findings, as well as the strengths and limitations of the study, were discussed in the light of the relevant literature. As a possible clinical implication, enhancement of social support networks of the patients were suggested.
“masumiyet Müzesi” Romanının Bibliyoterapi Çerçevesinde Nesne İlişkileri Kuramı ve Bağlanma Kuramına Dayalı İncelenmesi
(2024) Karakuş, Cansu; Yilmaz, Tugba; 02.04. Psikoloji; 02. Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya Üniversitesi
Amaç: Orhan Pamuk’un yapıtlardan biri olan “Masumiyet Müzesi” adlı romanın, nesne ilişkileri kuramı ve bağlanma kuramıyla ilişkilendirilerek psikoterapilerde kullanılan bibliyoterapi çerçevesinde incelenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Yöntem: Kitapta yer alan başkarakter Kemal’in davranışlarına yansıyan etkileri ile bağlanma biçimleri; kitaptaki birtakım metinler aracılığı ile nitel inceleme ve değerlendirme yöntemleri ile açıklanmıştır. Bulgular: Bu incelemede, Kemal karakterinin davranışları ile kaygılı ve kaçıngan bağlanma biçimleri arasında bir ilişki olabileceği görülmektedir. Roman incelemesi sonucunda, diğer ana karakterlerden olan Füsun ve Sibel’in bakış açılarına oldukça sınırlı şekilde yer verilmesi, Kemal karakterinin ise çoğunlukla mutsuz anlarına odaklanılması ve sergilediği zıt tutumlar sonuç kısmında tartışılmıştır. Ayrıca Kemal’in romandaki diğer karakterlerle kurduğu ilişkiler nesne ilişkileri kuramı ışığında kitaptan örnek metinlerle örneklendirilerek değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç: Bu inceleme sonucunda, psikoterapide kitap kullanımı (bibliyoterapi) açısından romanın değerlendirilmesinin, alanda aktif olarak çalışan ruh sağlığı uzmanlarına katkı sağlaması hedeflenmiştir. Psikoterapilerde; romantik ilişkiler, depresyon, ayrılık kaygısı, ayrılık sonrası kayıp-yas süreci vb. konulardaki sorunların ele alınmasında faydalı olabileceği belirtilebilir.
Psychotherapeutic Interventions Used in Psychological Treatment Studies With Syrian Refugees: a Systematic Review
(Sage Publications inc, 2024) Yilmaz, Tugba; Karakus, Cansu; 02.04. Psikoloji; 02. Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya Üniversitesi
The ongoing conflicts in the Middle East have led to a substantial influx of Syrian refugees, exposing them to severe traumatic experiences and contributing to a range of mental health issues. This systematic review examines psychotherapeutic interventions employed in psychological treatment studies with Syrian refugees, focusing on 22 articles identified across Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect. The review highlights the need for psychotherapeutic intervention for Syrian refugees due to the high prevalence of post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, grief, and loss which results from an increased risk of various forms of violence and exploitation. Psychotherapeutic interventions in the reviewed studies were Problem Management Plus (PM+), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), eye movement, desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR), narrative therapy, dance and movement therapy, art therapy, psychosocial interventions, and online psychotherapy. In the studies conducted with young and child refugees, various psychotherapeutic interventions such as cognitive-behavioral skills therapy, EMDR group therapy, art, dance and movement therapy, and early adolescence skills for emotions were applied. In studies conducted with adult refugees, it is noteworthy that studies frequently applied the PM+ intervention. It is seen that PM+ was applied especially in the camp environment at the beginning of the refugee process. In most of the studies, group format and face-to-face psychotherapeutic intervention were preferred. The findings emphasize the importance of tailored interventions that account for the cultural backgrounds and experiences of Syrian refugees. By addressing these barriers and implementing culturally sensitive approaches, mental health professionals can better support the psychological recovery and integration of Syrian refugees in host countries.

Solutions of the Fractional Davey-Stewartson Equations With Variational Iteration Method
(Editura Acad Romane, 2012) Baleanu, Dumitru; Jafari, Hossain; Kadem, Abdelouahab; Yılmaz, Tuğba; Baleanu, Dumitru; Yilmaz, Tugba; Matematik; Psikoloji; 02.04. Psikoloji; 02.02. Matematik; 02. Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya Üniversitesi
This paper presents approximate analytical solutions for the fractional Davey-Stewartson equations using the Variational iteration method. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. This method is based on the incorporation of the correction functional for the equation. The results obtained by this method have been compared with the exact solutions and show that the introduced approach is a promising tool for solving many linear and nonlinear fractional differential equations.
