Travmatik yaşantıların benlik saygısı üzerine etkisi

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate effect of trauma on self-esteem and relationship between self-esteem and psychiatric symptoms, by comparing severity of trauma experienced by psychiatric patient group and healthy control group without psychiatric disease. Material and Methods: The study included 100 patients with depression, anxiety disorders, somatoform disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder and no psychotic disorder, and 100 healthy control groups, applying to Duzce University Faculty of Medicine Department of Psychiatry. Socio-demographic characteristics of the patient and control groups were recorded. The severity of trauma perception was evaluated with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Traumatic Experiences Checklist (TEC) for determining experienced trauma, Post-Traumatic Cognitive Inventory (PTCI) for determining cognitive status, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) for self-esteem, and Symptom Checklist-90 Revised (SCL-90R) for determining psychological symptoms were used. Results: Both the self and parental education levels of patient group was lower than control group, while VAS was found higher. In terms of RSES, self-esteem, parental interest and relationship with father were found lower in the patient group than the control group, while sensitivity to criticism, depressive mood, dreaminess, psychosomatic symptoms, feeling threat in interpersonal relationships and psychological isolation were found high. Both TEC and PTCI scores and all symptoms in SCL-90R were higher in the patient group. Conclusion: In the patient group trauma scores were higher and self-esteem were lower than the control group. Trauma and low self-esteem caused to be higher psychiatric symptoms in the patient group. © 2019, Duzce University Medical School. All rights reserved

Panik bozukluk hastalarında çocukluk çağı travmalarının incelenmesi

Objective: It is widely known that childhood traumatic experiences are mostly associated with psychiatric disorders. In this study, the relationship between childhood traumatic experiences and panic disorder (PD) development was examined with regards to all types of traumas including sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, emotional neglect, and physical neglect. Material and Method: The sample for this study consisted of 59 outpatients and 61 healthy individuals serving as the control group. These individuals in the experimental group were selected from outpatients who had been diagnosed with PD based on American Psychatric Association Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) criteria and who did not have any other psychiatric disorder. The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ-28) was filled by the individuals themselves and the socio-demographic form by the researcher on behalf of them. Results: The main finding is that the individuals in the experimental group were found to have significantly high scores in comparison to those in the control group with respect to the total CTQ score (p=0.006) and specifically, the emotional neglect (p=0.004) and the emotional abuse sub-scores (p=0.009). Conclusion: The results revealed that the type and quality of trauma experienced during the childhood period can be a predictor for the psychiatric disorder subtype that can occur in the future years. © 2018, Nobelmedicus.
