Yayın Evaluation of satisfaction with a questionnaire according to fracture level and fracture type of patients who underwent balloon kyphoplasty(Galenos Publishing House, 2022-04) Kültür, Yiğit; Bal, Emre; Erdem, Mehmet Nuri; Tezer, MehmetObjective: The aim of this study is to better understand which type of fracture and localization have more painful or worse outcomes for the kyphoplasty procedure. Materials and Methods: Kyphoplasty cases operated between 2013 and 2018 were included in the study. The patients were contacted through the numbers registered in the hospital system. A questionnaire were asked to the patients. Patients were grouped according to gender, fracture level (T12-L1 and others) and fracture type (Osteoporotic, trauma, malignancy, unknown). Results: Fourty-one patients were included in the study. Three-quarters of the patients were women and average age was 62. Ninety-two percent of the patients stated that the pain of the procedure was tolerable. Seventy percent reported that their pain decreased after the procedure and 75% of the patients stated that they could have this procedure done again. Pain reduction and the desire to have same surgery again were significantly higher in female patients than in the male group (p<0.05). In the T12-L1 group and osteoporotic fracture group, the procedure was more easily tolerated, the pain was relieved more and the desire to have the same surgery was higher (p<0.05). Conclusion: Kyphoplasty is accepted as an operation that is well tolerated by patients and has good pain relief. Additionally more detailed information was obtained about the patient’s complaints after the kyphoplasty procedure, according to the fracture level and type.Yayın Reliability, validity, and factorial structure of the Turkish version of the Empathy Quotient (Turkish EQ)(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018-07-03) Köse, Samet; Çam Çelikel, Feryal; Kulacaoğlu, Filiz; Akın, Ercan; Yalçın, Mehmet; Ceylan, VedatOBJECTIVES: Empathy is an essential ability that allows us to tune into how others are feeling or thinking. Empathy makes it possible to resonate with others' positive and negative feelings alike so that we can thus feel happy when we vicariously share the joy of others and we can share the experience of suffering when we empathize with someone in pain. Empathy training not only promotes prosocial behaviour, but also augments positive affect and resilience, which in turn fosters better coping with stressful situations. The Empathy Quotient (EQ) is a self-report questionnaire that was developed to measure the cognitive, affective, and behavioural aspects of empathy. Here, we aimed to examine the validity, reliability, and factor structure of the EQ in a Turkish sample. METHODS: Participants were 436 mostly college students and civil servants (195 female, 241 male). Sociodemographic information, the Turkish version of the EQ, Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (MC-SDS) 33-item full version and MC-SDS 13-item shorter versions were administered. All statistical analyses were performed by using SPSS version 23 for Windows. RESULT: EQ scores were significantly higher in female participants ((X) over bar (Female)=46.45, SDFemale=0.62) compared to the male participants ((X) over bar (Male)=43.68, SD (Male)=0.56). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the scale was 0.76, Guttman's split-half reliability coefficient was 0.61, and test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.95. A positive and statistically significant correlation was found between the Turkish EQ and MC-SDS Full version (r=0.299, p<.01) and short form of MC-SDS (r=0.273, p<.01). A three-factor solution that accounted for 25.28% of the variance observed. CONCLUSIONS: The Turkish version of the EQ has satisfactory validity, good internal and test-retest reliability with a robust factorial structure to use in a clinical population in Turkey. Moreover, as predicted, women scores were statistically significantly higher on the EQ than men. This result was consistent with a series of earlier studies reporting gender differences (female superiority) on questionnaires that measure empathy. A better knowledge of empathy will have important implications for the examination and understanding of certain neurological and psychiatric disorders, including autism, narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders, and may also provide important clues about the relevant brain circuitry underlying empathy.Yayın The mediating effect of humour in relation to early maladaptive schema domains and psychological wellbeing(Klinik Psikiyatri Dergisi, 2021) Yavuz, Burak Baran; Aka, Başak TürkülerObjective: Early Maladaptive Schemas may accompany and affect different areas of life and may cause psychological problems. Therefore, psychological wellbeing may get affected negatively. Individuals prefer different ways to cope with stress caused by schemas and humour is a common method that has been used since the very early ages of humanity. Recent study examines the mediational effect of humour in relation to early maladaptive schemas and psychological wellbeing. Method: 268 individuals (181 female, 87 male) between the ages of 17 and 67 (M = 29.09, SD = 9.58) participated in the current study and the data were collected online. The study measures were Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ), The Humor Styles Questionnaire (HSQ) and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS). Results: Correlation analyses showed that psychological wellbeing negatively associated with maladaptive humour styles, and positively associated with adaptive humour styles. Only impaired autonomy and disconnection schema domains were found in association with psychological wellbeing, both negatively. Results of the bootstrap mediation indicated that aggressive humour mediates the relationship between impaired autonomy domain and psychological wellbeing, self-enhancing humour mediates the relationship between disconnection, impaired autonomy, impaired limits and psychological wellbeing. Lastly, self-defeating humour mediated the relationship between other-directedness, unrelenting standards and psychological wellbeing. Discussion: The results indicated that humour has a mediating role in the relationship between schema domains and psychological wellbeing. Specifically, it was discussed that the mediational roles of self-enhancing, self-defeating and aggressive humour might allow the therapists to intervene subtle mediums of self-harm (i.e. maladaptive humour) or strengthen the self-help (i.e. adaptive humour) and enhance psychological wellbeing.
