Objective:To clarify the association between pain and sleep in fibromyalgia.Methods:Electronic databases, including PsycINFO, the Cochrane database for systematic reviews, PubMed, EMBASE, and Ovid were searched to identify eligible articles. Databases independently screened and the quality of evidence using a reliable and valid quality assessment tool was assessed.Results:In total, 16 quantitative studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. According to the results, increased pain in fibromyalgia was associated with reduced sleep quality, efficiency, and duration and increased sleep disturbance and onset latency and total wake time. Remarkably, depressive symptoms were also related to both pain and sleep in patients with fibromyalgia.Conclusion:Management strategies should be developed to decrease pain while increasing sleep quality in patients with fibromyalgia. Future studies should also consider mood disorders and emotional dysfunction, as comorbid conditions could occur with both pain and sleep disorder in fibromyalgia.
health psychology report • volume 6(3), 8 original article background Fibromyalgia syndrome is a chronic musculoskeletal disorder which mostly affects women. This study investigates whether the prediction of self-report based fatigue, stress, everyday memory and impact (the most affected components of health status, i.e., physical impairment, feeling good, doing work, pain, anxiety, etc.) differ between younger patients and older patients with fibromyalgia.

SUMMARYAddiction refers to not being able to control over desire towards an object or someone even though it has negative impact on one's health and social life. Nowadays, psychoactive drug use has become very serious issue for people. Since it threatens most of the countries in the world, many researchers have focused on psychoactive drugs. Bonsai is popular substance in this category. This substance is known as bonsai among public which affects health and social life of teenage and young adults negatively. Since it has become a threat for public health, this psychoactive drug has attracted notice significantly in short time. This drug is entitled as "new ge neration" snythetic cannabinoid and recently, it has been used very frequently in all around the world including Turkey. Findings from various research have indicated that the use of synthetic cannabinoid (bonsai) has increased dramatically among youth in last 10 years. People generally think that synthetic cannabinoid (bonsai) has very similar effect with cannabis (i.e. marijuana). Although they show some similar effects, synthetic cannabinoid (bonsai) is very dangerous since it has chemical additions. It is also known that person who use this drug can develop substance addiction rapidly. This review study has focused on synthetic cannabinoid (bonsai) which is commonly abused by youth. The aim of this study is therefore, to understand the reasons of the increase in the usage; to examine the negative impacts and to consider the prevalence of the synthetic cannabinoid (bonsai).Key Words: Cannabinoid, Bonsai, Substance Addiction ÖZET Baðýmlýlýk, insanlarýn saðlýk ve sosyal yaþamlarýný olumsuz etkilemesine raðmen bir nesneye veya kiþiye duyulan kontrol edilemeyen istek duygusudur. Günümüzde, dünyadaki çoðu ülkeyi ciddi bir þekilde tehdit eden ve en fazla tartýþýlan baðýmlýlýk çeþidi, psikoaktif madde baðým-lýlýðýdýr. Bu kategoride bulunan ve insanlar arasýnda genellikle bonzai olarak bilinen popüler madde, özellikle gençlerin saðlýklarýný ve sosyal yaþamlarýný kötü þekilde etkilemektedir.

Dünyada ve Türkiye'de özellikle son zamanlarda sýklýkla kullanýlan bonzai, "yeni nesil" sentetik kannabinoid (SK) olarak isimlendirilmektedir. Birçok araþtýrma verilerine göre son 10 yýlda özellikle gençler arasýnda bir psikoaktif madde olan sentetik kannabinoid maddesinin kullanýmýnýn hýzlý bir þekilde arttýðý anlaþýlmýþtýr. Kannabis (örneðin, marihuana) ile benzer etkiler gösterdiði inancý insanlar arasýn-da çok yaygýndýr. Fakat bazý benzer etkiler göstermelerine raðmen, sentetik kannabinoid'in yapýsýndaki kimyasal eklentiler bu maddeyi çok tehlikeli kýlmýþtýr.

Background Illness perceptions refer to cognitive appraisals that help patients understand and make sense of their condition. Although their importance in health behaviour and outcomes has been evidenced, less is known about cultural influences on mental representations of kidney failure amongst patients receiving haemodialysis in different settings. Objective To explore the illness perceptions of Turkish patients receiving haemodialysis in North Cyprus (Turkish Cypriots). Design A qualitative study involving individual semistructured interviews. Participants Fourteen patients receiving haemodialysis, recruited from three state hospitals in North Cyprus. Approach All interviews were conducted in Turkish, audio‐recorded, and transcribed verbatim. They were analysed inductively in the original language using reflexive thematic analysis. Once the analysis was completed, it was translated into English. Quality assurance was integral to the research process to retain semantic equivalence. Findings Three themes were developed. “Illness appraisal” highlighted a lack of factual knowledge about kidney failure and how this is related to attempts at sense‐making, whilst retaining hope for the future. “Life‐changing effects” centred around the negative consequences of haemodialysis across multiple domains (e.g., emotional and physical). “Active coping strategies” focused on mechanisms that patients adopt to manage the burden of haemodialysis, particularly approaches that are culturally rooted. Conclusion There is a need for better communication to address the lack of individual patient knowledge about kidney failure. Haemodialysis is described as a burdensome treatment though existing coping mechanisms suggest that psycho‐spiritual interventions may be advantageous to aid adjustment for Turkish Cypriots receiving haemodialysis.
