Objective: This study seeks to examine the effects of childhood traumas on substance users’ attitudes of coping with stress. Method: This descriptive study seeking relationship was conducted with 133 individuals diagnosed with substance use and receiving treatment in the alcohol and substance treatment centre and closed psychiatry clinics of a mental health hospital located in Turkey. Results: The mean age of first substance use of the participants included in the study was 17.8 ± 4.7. The participants got the highest score from the emotional neglect subscale of the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (12.83 ± 3.46). Individuals in the study got the highest score from the religious coping subscale of the Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Inventory (13.39 ± 2.71). Childhood traumatic experiences were found to be effective in the development of coping attitudes including denial, behavioural disengagement, use of emotional social support, substance use, and acceptance. Conclusion: Childhood traumatic experiences of substance users have an effect on their dysfunctional coping attitudes. It is recommended that psychiatric nurses include primary, secondary, and tertiary protective approaches towards childhood traumas in their work on combating addiction.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the impact of a video or photographyassisted adaptation program on the concerns and social stigmatization-related perceptions of patients upon their first admission to a psychiatric clinic Design and Methods: This study was a non-randomized trial model with pretest-posttest measurements and a control group. No procedure was performed on the control group. However, a video or photography-assisted adaptation program was conducted on the experimental group.Findings: No significant decrease was found in the state-trait anxiety and stigmatization for receiving psychologic help levels in the control group (p > .05), but a significant decrease was found in the experimental group (p < .05).Practical Implications: Video or photography-assisted adaptation program is effective in mitigating the concerns and social stigmatization-related perceptions of patients upon their first admission to a psychiatric clinic.
Currently, technology and mobile health applications are developing and being applied in different fields every day. Especially the use of mobile technology in many health fields offers various opportunities for the use of mobile applications in smoking, alcohol and substance use disorders, which is an important public mental health problem. The aim of this review study was to examine 16 mobile applications designed for the treatment and monitoring of smoking, alcohol and substance use. It was concluded that self-monitoring, notification and warning systems, location services, peer and expert support services were frequently used in the analyzed mobile applications. As a result of the studies, the use of mobile applications as a preventive intervention in the prevention of addiction and as an additional treatment option in addiction treatment is promising. However, this situation brings along various harms, risks and obstacles. This review of the relevant literature provides a critical update of mobile applications used in smoking, alcohol and substance use disorders. This review is expected to be an important guide for mental health professionals and mobile application designers working on addiction.
Bu çalışma ile Türkiye’de çocuk-ergen ruh sağlığına yönelik kısa bir inceleme yapılması amaçlanmıştır. Yapılan literatür incelemesi sonucunda elde edilen bulgular nörogelişimsel bozukluklar, psikiyatrik bozukluklar, çocuk ihmal ve istismar, medya ve göç başlıkları altında ele alınmıştır. Literatür sonuçları incelendiğinde Türkiye’de çocuk ve ergenlerin en çok Dikkat Eksikliği ve Hiperaktivite Bozukluğu tanısı ile kliniklere başvuru yaptığı görülmektedir. Bu tanıyı sırası ile anksiyete bozuklukları, karşıt gelme bozuklukları, özgül öğrenme güçlükleri, dışa atım bozuklukları ve depresyon tanıları takip etmektedir. Teknolojinin gelişmesi ve medya kullanımındaki artış çocuk ve ergenlerin daha fazla şiddet içeren davranışlara maruz kalmasına ve şiddet davranışını öğrenmesine sebep olmaktadır. Bunun sonuncunda sosyal yaşamda uyumsuzluk ve iletişim problemleri ile karşılaşan çocuk ve ergenlerin ruh sağlığı üzerinde de olumsuz etkilerin olabileceği yapılan çalışmalarda belirtilmektedir. Ülkemize son yıllarda çeşitli nedenlerle yapılan göçlerin artması ile çocuk evlilikleri ve çocuk işçiliği gibi ihmal ve istismar vakalarında artış olduğu bildirilmektedir. Mevcut inceleme çocuk ve ergenler üzerinde psikopatolojilere yönelik verilerin ve ihmal-istismar vakalarını belirleyebilmek için yürütülecek çalışmaların önemini ortaya koymaktadır. Bu konuda koruyucu ve önleyici çalışmaların arttırılması ve mevcut çalışmada ele alınan konulara yönelik epidemiyolojik çalışmaların daha geniş örneklemlerde yürütülmesi önerilmektedir.
