Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin cinsel sağlık konusundaki tutumları

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this research is to evaluate nursing students’ attitudes towards sexual health. MATERIAL and METHODS: This research; It was conducted in descriptive and cross-sectional type. The research was conducted at the Faculty of Health Sciences of a state university located in the Black Sea region. Data were collected in the working environment through face-to-face interviews. Personal Information Form and Students’ Attitudes Towards Sexual Health Scale were used to collect research data. The data were evaluated in the IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) program version 24.0 statistical program. Descriptive statistics are given as number of units (n), percentage (%), mean and standard deviation (X̄ ± SD), median (min-max) values. RESULTS: There is a statistically significant relationship between nursing students’ grade level, where they live, whether they receive training on sexual health care, how often they evaluate their sexual health while providing care, and how they feel when providing sexual health care. The students’ “Attitudes Towards Sexual Health Scale” total score average was found to be 44.83±10.45. This result indicates that students have positive attitudes towards sexual health behaviors. CONCLUSION: As a result, when students’ scores from the Attitudes Towards Sexual Health Scale are examined, their level of training in sexual health care, their frequency of evaluating sexual health while providing care, and their feeling of self while providing sexual health care positively affect the process of evaluating sexual health in their future patients.

BEING IN CONTACT WITH NATURE, BELONGINGNESS, AND AWE

Spending time in nature or simply watching a video or photos from nature seems to improve self-centeredness, becoming aware of personal needs and means to satisfy them. It also has a restoring effect on cognitive functions and the human brain. Fewer studies were conducted on how spending time in nature affects the sense of belonging and the appreciation of other people. The article presents the results of an experiment involving first year Clinical Psychology students participating in a Health Psychology and Psychosomatics course. The participants in the experimental group watched a film presenting the life of several families of animals and birds in the wilderness. Afterwards, they completed two measures: one for the sense of belongingness and the other with awe for the significant people in their life. The control group only completed the questionnaires as part of regular activities. The results show that, after watching the film from wilderness, the feelings of timelessness, the physiological aspects and greatness of awe towards a significant other were significantly affected, while feelings of Self, connectedness, feeling accepted/included or rejected/excluded showed no significant differences for the two groups.

Lingkungan Main Bagi Toddler di Dalam Keluarga

<p><strong>The environment is an important element in the period of early childhood, a sensitive period where children are ready to respond to all stimuli from the environment. The play environment is a very meaningful resource for facilitating children's play activities. This study aims to determine the playing tools used by toddlers, either locomotor, nonlocomotor, and manipulative, and to identify aspects that are generally stimulated by families at toddler age. This study used a qualitative descriptive method with 106 families in Jabodetabek as respondents and the research lasted for 9 months, June 2019- January 2020. The data collection tool used was questionnaire to gather information about the respondent family environment. The data is then processed and analyzed using: (a)Descriptive Statistical Analysis: questionnaire filled by respondents are analyzed for data trends, and (b)Qualitative Analysis: results of descriptive statistical analysis are explained qualitatively through the description of observations and interviews on respondents. The results showed that: 66.04 % toddlers live in nuclear families and 33.96% within extended families. Facilitation from the play environment for toddlers to strengthen the feelings of self, independent activity, and cooperation is quite high, but the possibility for toddlers to play fantasy is quite low. Aspects of development generally stimulated by families at toddler age are more nonlocomotor, and acceleration of technological development in developing children's play has widened the gap on children's playing experiences in families</strong></p><p><em><strong>Keywords - </strong>Toddler, Play environment, Family.</em></p>

Prediction of depression with emotional intelligence and critical thinking in people with narcissistic personality disorder

Introduction and Aims: Narcissism is a personality disorder that is conceptualized as the excessive love of self and appears as a great feeling of self, more merit, and superiority. This study aimed to evaluate the prediction of depression with emotional intelligence and critical thinking in people with a narcissistic personality disorder. Materials and Methods: The statistical population in this descriptive-correlational study included all people with narcissistic personality disorder who were referred to Nik Amal Psychiatric Clinic, Tehran, Iran, in 2022. In total, 130 people were selected using the available sampling method. Ames' narcissistic personality questionnaires, Beck Depression Inventory, Schering Emotional Intelligence Test, and California Critical Thinking Skills Test were administered to collect data. Data analysis was performed using correlational and multivariate regression tests in SPSS software (version 23). Results: The results showed that emotional intelligence and critical thinking were negatively and significantly associated with depression (P<0.01). Emotional intelligence (62%) and critical thinking (45%) explained the variance in depression scores of people with a narcissistic personality disorder. Conclusion: To reduce the problem of depression in people with narcissistic personality disorder, it is recommended to increase emotional intelligence and critical thinking

Nature and Effects of Autobiographical Memory Issues in Persons with Autism Spectrum Disorders.

This comprehensive thematic review focuses on autobiographical memory (AM) in individuals with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with the overarching aim of informing and instructing stakeholders on this important memory structure that is often compromised in individuals with ASD. Accordingly, articles that best address the theme were selected from legitimate publishers with prime peer-reviewed journals. ASD is recognized as a neurodevelopmental disorder, often impacting on many aspects of language, cognitive, and social-emotional development. Considerable research has documented the problems children and adults with ASD frequently exhibit in language and its offshoots, the development of executive function, and theory of mind or the ability to reflect on the thoughts and feelings of self and others. These studies resulted in numerous assessments and intervention strategies designed to target the noted issues, among them problems with AM. Specialists in a variety of medical, psychological, and educational fields are exploring the nature and development of AM across the lifespan and the effects of AM weaknesses on cognitive and social-emotional factors such as self-regulation, social interactions, and self-identity. Researchers are reporting on the nature of AM deficits in persons with ASD and how AM deficits interact with or may explain other difficulties exhibited by these persons, but to date, little of this research has been incorporated into assessment and intervention strategies for persons with ASD. The aims of this article are to: 1. Describe the nature of AM, 2. Expound on assessments of AM, 3. Explain the effects of deficits in AMs on the personal narratives, self-regulation, and self-identity of persons with ASD, and 4. Explore intervention strategies to facilitate AM and the abilities of persons with ASD to tell coherent personal narratives.

Ja, drugi i stid - doživljaj stida studenata u edukaciji za geštalt psihoterapeute

Internalized shame is the feeling that there's "something wrong" with our entire being, that we are unworthy of existence and belonging. Although shame is normally perceived as a solitary kind of pain, it is always relational in nature. Shame always accompanies the learning process in the education of future psychotherapists, as specific methods of experiential learning and quality demands provide fertile ground for shame emerging among the process participants. A more permanent recovery of the feeling of self may only emerge through the experience of another's authentic interest for our inner world and through the feeling of being seen and accepted. The goal of the research is to contribute to the understanding of others' role in the emergence and dynamics of shame in the context of the educational-experiential group. The research comprised 15 students in their 1st, 3rd and 4th year of Gestalt therapy training. We collected data by means of critical incident technique. Two qualitatively different themes emerged through the thematic reflexive analysis: me-that and shame, and me-you and shame. We analysed the findings from two perspectives-the relational paradigm of shame and transformative adult education.

'Rich' and 'poor' in mentalizing: Do expert mentalizers exist?

Mentalization theory is concerned with the capacity to notice, and make sense of, thoughts and feelings in self and others. This development may be healthy or impaired and therefore, by extension, it may be theorized that expertise in mentalizing can exist. Furthermore, a continuum from impairment to expertise should exist within separate dimensions of mentalizing: of self and of others. This study hypothesized that three groups would be distinguishable on the basis of their mentalizing capacities. In a cross-sectional design, Psychological Therapists (‘expert’ mentalizers; n = 51), individuals with a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder (‘poor’ mentalizers; n = 43) and members of the general population (‘non-clinical controls’; n = 35) completed a battery of self-report measures. These assessed the mentalizing of self and of others (using an extended version of the Reflective Function Questionnaire (RFQ18)), alexithymia and cognitive empathy. As hypothesized, Psychological Therapists’ scores were higher than controls on self-mentalizing and control group scores were higher than those with BPD. Cognitive empathy scores in the BPD group indicated markedly lower capacities than the other two groups. Contrary to predictions, no significant differences were found between groups on mentalizing others in RFQ18 scores. The Psychological Therapist and BPD profiles were characterized by differential impairment with regards to mentalizing self and others but in opposing directions. Results suggest that the RFQ18 can identify groups with expertise in mentalizing. Implications of these results for the effectiveness of psychological therapy and of Psychological Therapists are discussed.

The moderating effect of spiritual beliefs on job dissatisfaction related to the futile care

IntroductionThis study aimed to assess the experience of providing futile care among intensive care unit nurses and to examine the moderating effect of spiritual beliefs on job dissatisfaction related to the sense of futile care among nurses in Intensive Care Units.Materials and methodsThe study had two phases. The first phase was a qualitative study. Twenty-two semi-structured interviews were conducted. In the second phase, we employed a cross-sectional design. The data from 236 nurses were collected using nurses’ perceptions of futile care questionnaire, Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, and Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale.ResultsThe main theme of the qualitative phase was a feeling of self as a useful tool in God’s hand. Sub-themes were providing care while knowing it is futile, not knowing the patient destiny, having hope for care to be fruitful, experiences patient recovery, acting to be a part of God’s plan. Futile care and job experience were two predictors of low job satisfaction. Spiritual well-being had a moderating effect and increased job satisfaction.ConclusionsFutile care can decrease job satisfaction, while spiritual well-being can reduce its negative effect. Supporting spiritual aspects of nursing care can decrease turn-over intention among nurses.

Deter the emotions: Alexithymia, impulsivity and their relationship to binge drinking

IntroductionThe relevance of both emotion processing and impulsivity to alcohol use and misuse is increasingly recognised, yet there is a scarcity of studies addressing their reciprocal interaction. The present study aimed to examine the role that difficulties in emotion processing and trait impulsivity play in explaining binge drinking pattern of alcohol use in student population. We looked at binge drinking, as it is a risk factor to later alcohol abuse and is a common alcohol drinking habit among students. Alexithymia (from Greek as “deter/repel emotions”), a difficulty in identifying and describing feelings in self and others is increasingly recognised as a feature of alcohol misuse. MethodsOne-hundred and seventy-four student alcohol drinkers were assessed for their drinking habits (Alcohol Use Questionnaire), as well as for alexithymia (Toronto Alexithymia Scale) and impulsivity trait (Barratt Impulsiveness Scale); facial emotional expression judgements were also tested. ResultsA direct relationships between, both, alexithymia and impulsivity, and binge drinking was found. When combined, trait impulsivity partially mediated the relationship between alexithymia and binge drinking. Facial emotional expression judgements also showed a relationship with binge drinking. ConclusionsThese findings highlight the importance of both emotion processing and impulsivity in understanding binge drinking and indicate potential routes for prevention and intervention techniques, especially towards those who may be at risk of later alcohol abuse.

Relationship of Self-Compassion, Hope, and Emotional Control to Perceived Burdensomeness, Thwarted Belongingness, and Suicidal Ideation.

Background: Cultivating positive feelings of self in relationships with others can affect perceptions of belongingness and burdensomeness. Aims: The present study examines the relationships of self-compassion, hope, and emotional control to thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, and suicidal ideation. Method: Participants were 481 college students who completed scales measuring self-compassion, hope, emotional control, thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, and suicidal ideation. Results: Correlation and parallel mediation analysis results show relationships between self-compassion, hope, and emotional control with perceived burdensomeness, thwarted belongingness, and suicidal ideation. Limitations: The study is limited by its cross-sectional design, sample demographics, and inability to distinguish between individuals with suicidal ideation and those who attempt suicide. Conclusion: The results show that the relationships of self-compassion, hope, and emotional control to perceived burdensomeness, thwarted belongingness, and suicidal ideation are worth further investigation.

Look who's talking! Varieties of ego-dissolution without paradox

How to model non-egoic experiences – mental events with phenomenal aspects that lack a felt self – has become an interesting research question. The main source of evidence for the existence of such non-egoic experiences are self-ascriptions of non-egoic experiences. In these, a person says about herself that she underwent an episode where she was conscious but lacked a feeling of self. Some interpret these as accurate reports, but this is questionable. Thomas Metzinger (2004, p. 566, 2018), Rocco Gennaro (2008), and Charles Foster (2016, p. 6) have hinted at the self-defeating nature of such statements if we take them to be genuine reports: Apparently, the reporter (a) explicitly denies her existence during the selfless experience, but (b) implicitly affirms her existence as a witness to that selfless experience in order to give a first-person report about it. So the content of such a report conflicts with the pragmatics of reporting. If all self-ascriptions of non-egoic experiences are self-defeating in this way, then they cannot count as evidence for the existence of non-egoic experiences. Here, I map out why such strong conclusions do not directly follow: What look like self-ascriptions of non-egoic experiences may occur for a number of reasons. Only some explanations for such utterances rely on a change in consciousness. Of those that do rely on a change in consciousness, only one (total ego-dissolution) is incoherent. But its alternatives do not lead to contradictions. I argue that the most likely change in phenomenality that leads to self-ascriptions of non-egoic experiences is not one where a felt self disappears, but where it expands.

Body Image in Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a basic self-disturbance that in its early stages causes the sufferer discomfort toward feelings of self. Therefore, fragility or abnormality with regard to sense of self was a core observation of early schizophrenia theory. Rather than body-image-related depression or anorexia, disturbed body experience is the main factor affecting body image in patients with schizophrenia. This is a concept that has been discussed in the literature in recent years. This article will introduce the body self model, discuss the schizophrenic symptoms that influence experienced body disturbances and reduce body self-functions, and explore the relationship between body identity and body image. In order to improve the body image of patients with schizophrenia, it is necessary to conduct assessments and interventions that enhance the sense of body identity.

Deficits in Theory of Mind and Emotional Awareness in Somatoform Disorders.

Introduction:Emotions develop from a less differentiated to a highly differentiated level, and their arrest at a lower level is hypothesized to result in somatization. The present study aimed at investigating the Theory of Mind and emotional awareness in patients with somatoform disorders.Materials and Methods:Twenty patients with somatoform disorders, along with 20 healthy controls matched for age, sex, and education, were recruited after obtaining informed consent. Assessments included semi-structured proforma for sociodemographic and clinical details; Scale for Assessment of Somatic Symptoms (SASS) for somatic symptoms; and Patients Health Questionnaire (PHQ) to assess somatic symptoms, depression, and anxiety. Emotional awareness was measured using the Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale (LEAS), in which the participants had to provide descriptions of feelings of self and the other person in 20 imaginary situations. The responses were scored using a standardized manual. The Theory of Mind was measured using the Social Cognition Rating Tool in Indian Settings (SOCRATIS).Results:The two groups did not differ on any demographic parameters. Patients with somatoform disorders scored significantly lower on emotional awareness (t = −3.74; P < 0.001) and the Theory of Mind (t = −3.56; P < 0.001). The above differences remained significant even after controlling for comorbid depressive and anxiety symptoms.Conclusion:Patients with somatoform disorders are likely to have Theory of Mind and emotional awareness deficits independent of mood states. Future studies are needed to assess whether these deficits are trait- or state-dependent and whether they are cause or effect.

Unraveling Health Disparities Among Sexual and Gender Minorities: A Commentary on the Persistent Impact of Stigma

ABSTRACTLGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) populations experience disparities in health outcomes, both physical and mental, compared to their heterosexual and cisgender peers. This commentary confronts the view held by some researchers that the disparate rates of mental health problems reported among LGBT populations are the consequences of pursuing a particular life trajectory, rather than resulting from the corrosive and persistent impact of stigma. Suggesting that mental health disparities among LGBT populations arise internally, de novo, when individuals express non-heterosexual and non-conforming gender identities ignores the vast body of evidence documenting the destructive impact of socially mediated stigma and systemic discrimination on health outcomes for a number of minorities, including sexual and gender minorities. Furthermore, such thinking is antithetical to widely accepted standards of health and wellbeing because it implies that LGBT persons should adopt and live out identities that contradict or deny their innermost feelings of self.

On Self-Love and Outgroup Hate: Opposite Effects of Narcissism on Prejudice via Social Dominance Orientation and Right-Wing Authoritarianism.

Previous research has obtained mixed findings as to whether feelings of self‐worth are positively or negatively related to right‐wing ideological beliefs and prejudice. We propose to clarify the link between self‐worth and ideology by distinguishing between narcissistic and non‐narcissistic self‐evaluations as well as between different dimensions of ideological attitudes. Four studies, conducted in three different socio‐political contexts: the UK (Study 1, N = 422), the US (Studies 2 and 3, Ns = 471 and 289, respectively), and Poland (Study 4, N = 775), investigated the associations between narcissistic and non‐narcissistic self‐evaluations, social dominance orientation (SDO), right‐wing authoritarianism (RWA), and ethnic prejudice. Confirming our hypotheses, the results consistently showed that after controlling for self‐esteem, narcissistic self‐evaluation was positively associated with SDO (accounting for RWA), yet negatively associated with RWA (accounting for SDO). These associations were similar after controlling for psychopathy and Machiavellianism (Study 3) as well as collective narcissism and Big Five personality characteristics (Study 4). Studies 2–4 additionally demonstrated that narcissistic self‐evaluation was indirectly positively associated with prejudice through higher SDO (free of RWA) but indirectly negatively associated with prejudice through lower RWA (free of SDO). Implications for understanding the role of self‐evaluation in right‐wing ideological attitudes and prejudice are discussed. Copyright © 2017 The Authors.
