Book Part Dikkat eksikliği hiperaktivite bozukluğunda görülen uyku bozuklukları(2019) Yazıhan, Nakşidil; 276238; PsikolojiArticle Citation - WoS: 1The Mediator Role of Positive and Negative Affect in the Relationship Between Sleep Quality, Depressive Symptoms and Anxiety in Young Adults(Galenos Publ House, 2022) Fidantek, Hulya; Yazıhan, Nakşidil; Yazihan, Naksidil; Tuna, Ezgi; 163887; PsikolojiObjective: It is known that individuals with poor sleep quality show significantly more depression and anxiety symptoms. It is important to investigate possible factors that may make individuals more vulnerable to develop depression and anxiety. For this purpose, the possible mediator roles of positive affect (PA) and negative affect (NA) in the relationship between sleep quality and depression- anxiety symptoms in young adults were tested by using multiple mediation analysis. Materials and Methods: The sample of the study consisted of 387 volunteer participants aged between 18 and 35 years (mean=22.83, standard deviation=3.20). Data consisting of Pittsburgh sleep quality index, positive and negative emotion scale, and brief symptom inventory were collected through an online computer-assisted protocol. Results: Significant positive correlations were found between low sleep quality scores and both depressive and anxiety symptoms. According to the two mediator variable models, low sleep quality influenced depressive symptoms indirectly through PA and NA, and anxiety through only NA. Alternative models of the results showed that depressive symptoms influenced sleep quality partially through PA and NA, while anxiety mediated this relationship only through PA. Conclusion: Alternative models tested to understand the direction of the relationship between depressive-anxiety symptoms and sleep quality. Although the results were significant, the explained variance was found to be less explanatory than the first and second models. The results of the study supported the idea that sleep quality, PA and NA should be targeted while developing prevention and intervention programs for depression and anxiety.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0Metacognitive beliefs of posttraumatic stress disorder patients(ANP Publishing, 2019) Yazihan, N.; Yazıhan, Nakşidil; Yelboǧa, Z.; 276238; PsikolojiObjective: The concept of metacognition can be described as metacognitive structures controlling, arranging and assessing the cognitions. The aim of this study was to investigate metacognitive beliefs and their relationship with the psychological symptoms of posttrumatic stress disorder (PTSD) patients. Method: The sample consisted of 52 posttraumatic stress disorder patients (mean age=31,67±6,54) and 54 healthy participants (mean age=29,00±6,61). Metacognitive beliefs were measured through Metacognitive Questionnaire-30 which is accepted as a measuring device of metacognitive beliefs, metacognitive processes and judgment. To describe symptom profiles Symtom Checklist-90 was used. Results: Data were analyzed by using MANCOVA. PTSD group scores were significantly higher than control group for uncontrallability and danger (includes items that worry and rumination are negative, dangerous and difficult to control); need to control thoughts (includes items that some thoughts are need to be controlled and suppressed) and finally lack of "cognitive confidence" (includes items about problems related to memory and attention). On the other hand, positive beliefs about thoughts which involves the items related to the idea that worry and rumination is functional was lower among individuals with PTSD. Discussion: Trauma patients think that worry and rumination have negative consequences, and some thoughts need to be controlled and supressed as they are dangerous. The elevation of clinical symptoms such as obsession, depression and psychotic symptoms were correlated with the increase of abnormal metacognitive belifs. Thoughts are dangerous and need to be controlled, appear to be related to obsesive thoughts, anger and hostility and interpersonal sensitivity sypmtoms. © 2019 ANP Publishing. All rights reserved.
