    Anger and alexithymic characteristics of the patients diagnosed with insomnia: a control group study
    (Wiley-Blackwell, 2010) Engin, E.; Keskin, G.; Dulgerler, S.; Bilge, A.
    Accessible summary The research was designed as a cross-sectional study to compare the alexithymic characteristics, trait anger and anger expression styles of those who are diagnosed with insomnia with those who are not. Participants receiving a treatment for insomnia were diagnosed with regard to DSM-IV-TR criteria, by a neuropsychiatrist who is a trained assessor on DSM-IV-TR and not a researcher in a current study. In this research, it was determined that insomniac patients have higher points in alexithymia, trait anger and anger expression-in but lower points in anger control and anger expression-out than healthy individuals do. These findings underline the necessity to study more cautiously and with more details while gathering information from insomniac individuals and the necessity to study to evaluate insomnia as a disorder not just resulting from physical conditions and problems but also resulting from difficulties of defining and expressing emotions. We think that the research data are important for treatment and care of insomniac patients. In this sense, we can advise that psychiatric nurses should give psycho-education on recognizing and expressing emotions, individually or in-group, to patients suffering from insomnia. Abstract The research was designed with a descriptive purpose to compare the alexithymic characteristics, trait anger and anger expression styles of those who are diagnosed with insomnia with those who are not. It was conducted with 96 patients who applied to Department of Sleep Disorders and were diagnosed with insomnia and 96 volunteers were not diagnosed with any psychiatric diagnosis and had not any sleep disorders in two Medical Faculty Hospitals in west of Turkey. Three types of forms were used to collect research data. The first form is the Sociodemographic Characteristics Form, the second one is The Toronto Alexithymia Scale and the third one is the Trait Anger-Anger Expression Scale. It was determined that the patients diagnosed with insomnia had displayed much more alexithymic characteristics than control group. Insomniac patients had higher level of anger and anger expression-in than the control group was found. In accordance with the findings, it is suggested that more comprehensive data should be obtained from the patients having sleeping problems and, that the nursing interventions on the patients' recognition, expression and anger management should be reflected on the nursing holistic care.

    Eating attitude in the obese patients: the evaluation in terms of relational factors
    (Wiley, 2010) Keskin, G.; Engin, E.; Dulgerler, S.
    Obesity, a complex disease, involves many psychological problems besides eating disorders. In this study, we aimed to examine the relationship between the eating attitude and body perception, which is thought to affect the eating attitude in the patients diagnosed as obese, the ability to solve the problem, the strategy of coping with stress and some socio-demographic features. A total of 99 adults aged between 20 and 68 years, who were examined in the Polyclinic of Endocrinology and Metabolism Diseases, Ege University, Turkiye, constituted the sample of the study. Eating Attitude Test, The Body Perception Scale and The Scale of Coping with Strategies were used in order to collect the data. Misperception of the body and the ability to solve the problem increased as eating attitude defects increased. A positive correlation was determined between the eating attitude defects and the habitude of pursuing social support and the ability of coping.

Socio-demographic data form, Fear of Covid-19 Scale, and Life Satisfaction Scale were used to obtain the data. One-way ANOVA test was used in the comparison of more than two groups, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between the scales.

There was a negative, highly significant and moderate correlational relationship between fear of COVID-19 and life satisfaction level (r =-,372, p<.001). At the same time, fear of COVID-19 explained a significant portion (13.9%) of the variance in life satisfaction level (R2 =-13.9, F = 29.28, p <.001).

    Return to Community Mental Health Centers after the Pandemic: A Qualitative Study on Turkish Patients' Subjective Experiences
    (Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2023) Turk, A.; Unsal, E.; Engin, E.; Kayahan, B.
    Background:Community mental health centers (CMHCs) are important institutions for individuals with chronic mental illness. During the COVID-19 period, patients with mental health could not optimally access care in CMHCs.Aim:To explore the experiences of patients using a CMHC after its closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Patients and Methods:This was a descriptive qualitative study that included 16 patients with mental disorders who regularly used CMHCs during the pre-pandemic period. Their data were collected between March 2022 and August 2022 using face-to-face, in-depth semi-structured interviews. All interviews were recorded and the content analysis method was used to analyze the data.Results:The age range of the 16 study participants was 29-53 years with a mean age of 40.8 +/- 6.5 years. Nine (56.3%) participants were men, and 7 (43.7%) were women. Ten (62.5%) participants had schizophrenia, whereas 6 (37.5%) had bipolar disorder. According to content analysis, the five main themes that emerged based on the statements of participants were the effects of change, difficulties experienced, support needs, coping experiences, and suggestions. The results showed that although patients using CMHCs are struggling with the adverse consequences of the pandemic process, they also have difficulty managing their diseases and daily life due to their inability to access psychosocial services in the CMHCs.Conclusion:The patients reported their negative experiences and need for support during the pandemic. The study highlights the need to adequately accommodate mental health services delivery during future pandemics that may impose movement restrictions.

    Validity and reliability study of the Turkish psychiatric nurses of job motivation scale
    (Wiley-Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2009) Engin, E.; Cam, O.
    This methodological study was planned to explore the validity and reliability of the evaluation scale for measuring the job motivation of nurses who work in psychiatric clinics. The sample was composed of 378 nurses who work in all psychiatric units or psychiatric hospitals located in Turkey's four large cities - Ankara, Istanbul, Izmir and Manisa. For testing reliability of 'job motivation scale', the internal consistency tests were executed with split scale analysis, Cronbach's alpha coefficient and item-total score correlation. For construct validity, factor analysis was used. For the first part of scale, Cronbach's a was determined to be 0.79. For the second part, Cronbach's a was 0.72. Factor analysis was performed in an attempt to establish validity and underlying associations between items in the scale. The first analysis produced nine eigenvalues (> 1) and nine factors were extracted. The scree test indicated that a two-factor model would be suitable. The factor structure of the tool for measuring the job motivation of nurses who work in psychiatric clinics was parallel with motivation concepts. Validity and reliability levels of the scale for measuring the job motivation of nurses who work in psychiatric clinics were found to be sufficient in the Turkish population.
