Most prominent feature of delusions is patients have no insight about their delusional belief. Psychiatry benefits from the scales that evaluate the presence of delusion, the strength of delusion and insight. Out of many scales The Brown Assessment of Beliefs Scale (BABS) is one of the most common scales that used in psychiatry.

In order to evaluate inter-rater reliability, BABS was administered by two different clinicians. In order to evaluate testretest reliability, BABS was applied to 57 patients one week later. To examine BABS Turkish di...

Studies that compare the burden of internal patients’ caregivers with psychiatric patients’ caregivers, reported higher caregiving burden for caregivers of psychiatric patients. In this study, it was aimed to compare the levels of the caregiving burden of those caring for patients with diabetic foot with care-givers of psychotic patients. Caregivers of those with inguinal hernia were designated as the control group to determine the characteristics that are related to the care-giving burden. Methods: The study was comprised of care-givers of 30 hospital in-patients with diabetic foot, 30 in-patients with inguinal hernia, and care givers of 30 patients with a recorded diagnosis of psychotic disorder ...

The study comprises 100 patients diagnosed with type 2 DM. We used a data collection form, the Scale of Forgiveness and Religiosity (SFR), Problem Areas in Diabetes Scale (PAID), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and the Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life (ADDQoL). We also recorded blood glucose and HbA1c test results. A statistically significant relationship was determined only between the scores of the STAI-I and the religious belief scales (r = 0.198, p = 0.049). A statistically significant negative relationship was determined between the forgiveness scale points and the BDI (r = 0.326, p = 0.001), the STAI-II (r = 0.308, p = 0.002) and PAID (r = 0.313, p = 0.001) and a positive correlation with ADDQoL (r = 0.284, p = 0.004). To conclude, forgiveness ...

Dünyada en yaygın kullanılan ve hakkında bilimsel araştırmaların yapıldığı terapi yöntemi, bilişsel davranışçı terapilerdir. Bilişsel modele göre, kişi karşılaştığı nesnel durumu, mevcut bilişsel alt yapısı nedeniyle çarpıtabilir. Bu çarpıtma sonucunda ortaya çıkan otomatik düşünceler, işlevsiz bir takım duyguların ve çoğunlukla bu duygularla ilişkili davranışların ortaya çıkmasına neden olur. Otomatik düşünceler; kendiliğinden ortaya çıkan, kişiye doğru gelen, sorunlu davranış veya rahatsız edici duygularla ilişkili olan düşüncelerdir ve en yüzeyde yer alır. İnsan, kendi deneyimleri üzerine yorum yapma, düşünme üzerine düşünme özelliğiyle yaşantıların etkisini yok edebilme ya da azaltma potansiyeline sahip olduğu için, bilişsel terapinin odak noktasının bireyin düşünceleri ve inançları olması gerektiği öne sürülür. Mevlana'nın eserlerinde, düşünce-duygu ve davranış ilişkisini vurgulayan ve çeşitli ruhsal sıkıntılardan kurtulmak için farkındalık ve bilişsel değişimi öneren birçok tavsiye yer almaktadır. Bu gözden geçirmede, Mevlana'nın düşünceye yaklaşımını bilişsel terapi bağlamında incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Mevlana'nın başlıca eserleri olan, Mesnevi, Fihi-Ma-Fih ve Divan-ı Kebir incelenerek, düşünce ile ilgili bölümler irdelenip, tartışılmıştır.

The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale-Symptom Checklist (Y-BOCS-SC), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were administered to the patients prior to group therapy (baseline) and again after sessions 2, 5, 8, 12, and 14.

Dysfunctional thoughts predispose an individual to depression and are among the processes that form the basis of personality traits. Elucidating the personality beliefs associated with depression and dysfunctional thoughts is important to understanding and treating depression. The aim of the present study is to determine whether depressed patients exhibited pathological personality beliefs compared with healthy controls. Furthermore, we investigated which personality beliefs were more common among such depressed patients. Methods: A total of 70 patients who were admitted to the Department of Psychiatry at Ankara Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Training and Research Hospital (Ankara, Turkey) and diagnosed with major depressive disorder according to The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV (DSM-IV) diagnostic criteria were included in the study. Additionally, 70 healthy controls matched for age, marital status, and education were included in the study. The Sociodemographic Data Form and Personality Belief Questionnaire-Short form (PBQ-SF) were administered to the participants.

Additionally, 70 healthy controls matched for age, marital status, and education were included in the study. The Sociodemographic Data Form and Personality Belief Questionnaire-Short form (PBQ-SF) were administered to the participants. Results: A comparison of the depression group with the healthy controls revealed higher scores in dependent, passive-aggressive, obsessive-compulsive, antisocial, histrionic, paranoid, borderline, and avoidant personality subscales in the depressive group. Conclusions: These results suggest that personality beliefs at the pathological level are more common in depressive patients and that the detection of these beliefs would be useful for predicting the prognosis of the disease and determining appropriate treatment methods.
