Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of Self-Regulation Based Cognitive Psychoeducation Program on emotion regulation and self-efficacy in children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and receiving medication. Method: The sample of this study with control group and pre-test, post-test and follow-up randomized experimental design consisted of children followed in the child and adolescent mental health outpatient clinic of a state hospital. The data were evaluated by parametric and non-parametric analyses. Results: A statistically significant increase was determined in the internal functional emotion regulation mean scores of children, who participated in the Self-Regulation Based Cognitive Psychoeducation Program, measured before, immediately after, and 6 months after the intervention (p < 0.05). A statistically significant increase was also found in their external functional emotion regulation mean scores measured before and 6 months after the intervention (p < 0.05). In addition, a statistically significant difference was found between their internal dysfunctional and external dysfunctional emotion regulation mean scores measured before and 6 months after the intervention; however the mean scores of those in the control group 6 months after the intervention were higher than those in the intervention group (p < 0.05). Furthermore, there was a statistically significant increase in their self-efficacy mean scores measured before and 6 months after the intervention (p < 0.05).

Purpose: The study aims to determine risk factors related to stress due to pandemic, the burnout levels of the physiotherapist, the relationship between these parameters. Methods: One hundred two physiotherapists, whose sociodemographic information was obtained, were divided into two groups according to disease exposure (CoV and non-CoV group). Pandemic-Associated Stress Factors of the participants were analyzed and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was used to measure burnout. The independent sample t test was used to detect the difference between the groups. Pearson's correlation analysis was used to find relations in parameters. Results: 96% of respondents were concerned about getting infected and 98% concerned about infecting their families. Most of the participants were physically and mentally tired (74.5%, 58.8%). The CoV group consisted of 45 (44.11%) physiotherapists who had a history of COVID-19, had patient contact, or worked with coronavirus patients.

The universe of the study consists of adolescent members aged 12-15 in the Turkish Spinal Cord Paralysis Association (N :600). Nearly 90 people with physical disabilities and their families, who were included in the inclusion criteria of the study, were reached through the institution. 62 people were included in the study as a result of the foresights made due to the intensity of their online classes due to the Covid 19 pandemic, and their inability to volunteer for the subject of the research (they are ashamed and do not want to discuss it as a topic to be discussed).

The intervention group was divided into 3 groups of 10 and a six-week psychoeducation program lasting 60 minutes once a week was applied. At the end of the training, the intervention and control groups were given a post-test and a follow-up test at the end of the 3rd month. As a result of the statistical findings made within the scope of the sexual health knowledge and attitude inventory, when the posttest and 3rd month follow-ups of the experimental group were examined, a significant difference was found in their attitudes towards sexuality, attitudes towards sexual behaviors and attitudes towards sexually transmitted diseases (p

Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine the mental health status and risk factors for the mental health of first-year university students on a health sciences campus. Design/methodology/approach This is a descriptive study. The research was conducted with first-year students in the health sciences, dentistry and medical faculties of a state university (n = 770). The data were collected with a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Risk Behavior of Young Adults Survey, the Bergen Insomnia Scale, General Health Questionnaire-28 and the Mental Health Improvement Scale. Body mass ındex was calculated. Findings Among the students, 53.7% experienced feelings of hopelessness in the last year and 1% had attempted suicide.

Case formulation refers to the appraisal of the individual data and the treatment plan in terms of certain principles. In psychotherapy, case formulation is relevant for the recognition of conceptual and clinical tools as well as for the evaluation of the therapeutic endeavor. Artwork (painting) provides an effective tool for case formulation because it allows the individual to express his/her thoughts and emotions, which are prone to the influences of subconscious drives, conflicts, fears, and desires in a symbolic fashion. In this study, case formulation of a 31-year-old woman, who cannot overcome her verbal and physical aggressive behaviors, is presented. For case formulation, four sessions of artwork are used. The main purpose of the present case is to discuss the use of creative artwork as a means for case formulation in dynamic psychotherapy
