Türkkan, Tuğba; Odaci, Hatice
Mental health issues affect millions of people worldwide, leading to negative outcomes in various areas such as academic achievement, job performance, and quality of life. Women are known to be more prone to mental health problems than men, a phenomenon explained by biological sensitivity, genetic and hormonal differences, physiological stress responses, and exposure to environmental risk factors. However, research examining the impact of gender roles on mental health remains limited. Gender roles shape individuals' thought patterns, self-esteem, and emotion regulation strategies, making them significant factors that can influence mental health. In this context, the study aims to explore the effects of gender norms on mental health from a feminist perspective and evaluate the role of gender-based antecedents in this process through a review of the current literature. The study findings reveal that traditional gender roles negatively affect women’s mental health, while approaches promoting equality yield positive outcomes. Enhancing women’s access to education and economic independence is a crucial step toward reducing gender-based inequalities. Additionally, implementing gender equality policies and increasing inclusive representations in the media can mitigate the adverse effects on mental health. Education, awareness campaigns, and supportive social policies have the potential to reduce the impact of gender roles and improve individuals’ mental health. This study aims to guide effective mental health policies and targeted interventions.

Kaya, Feridun; Türkkan, Tuğba
Growing geopolitical instability has led to increasing concerns about the psychological impact of war beyond directly affected populations, highlighting the need for culturally appropriate instruments to assess fear of war. In this study, we evaluate the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Fear of War Scale (FOWARS) and examine its associations with sociodemographic characteristics and personality traits. A total of 643 adults across two independent samples (sample 1 = 360; sample 2 = 283) completed the FOWARS, the Tolerance of Uncontrollability Questionnaire, the Next Big Five Inventory (BFI-2), the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), and a sociodemographic information form. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the original two-factor structure of the FOWARS, with the Turkish version demonstrating satisfactory structural validity, convergent validity, discriminant validity, criterion-related validity, strong internal consistency, and measurement invariance across gender. Fear of war was negatively associated with tolerance of uncontrollability and positively associated with depression, anxiety, and stress. In addition, fear of war was significantly associated with gender, socioeconomic status, agreeableness, neuroticism, and conscientiousness. These findings expand the understanding of the individual determinants of fear of war, underscoring the importance of developing targeted interventions for vulnerable populations.

Türkkan, Tuğba; Odacı, Hatice
This study examined the effect of a psycho-education program on the awareness levels of teachers regarding child abuse and neglect. The study was conducted with teachers working in regions characterized by the presence of at-risk groups. Within the scope of the study, 18 teachers were assigned to the experimental group and 18 teachers to the control group. The experimental group participated in a structured psycho-education program on child abuse and neglect, while no intervention was implemented for the control group. Prior to the intervention, pre-test measurements were conducted using the Child Abuse Awareness Scale for both groups. The psycho-education program consisted of 10 weekly online sessions, each lasting approximately 100–120 min. The findings revealed a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores of the experimental group compared with the control group, indicating the effectiveness of the psycho-education program in increasing teachers’ awareness levels. The results suggest that such training programs may play an important role in enhancing teachers’ knowledge and awareness of child abuse and neglect, particularly in recognizing signs of abuse and understanding reporting procedures.

This study aimed to find out the experiences and coping styles of young adults affected by the Kahramanmaraş-centered earthquakes that took place on 6 February 2023, during and after the earthquake. Qualitative research method and phenomenological approach were used in the study. In-depth interviews were conducted with 33 young adults who were selected using the purposive sampling technique. The interviews with earthquake survivors were conducted approximately two months after the earthquake and took place in the temporary housing facilities to which they had been relocated. The research findings showed that many young people experienced the night of the earthquake as an unforgettable night. It was also found that the support provided after the earthquake was inadequate to meet the needs of survivors. Certain changes occurred in the family relations and personality traits of survivors after the earthquake. Young adults experienced some difficulties after the earthquake and developed a series of coping mechanisms to overcome such difficulties. At the end of the research, recommendations are made for field workers and policy makers from a psychological perspective.

Türkkan, Tuğba; Hatipoğlu, Ertuğrul; Yücel, İbrahim; Kulakaç, Nurşen; Sipahi, Ferkan; Zeybek, Halil İbrahim
Violence against women represents a severe violation of human rights and has become a pervasive issue globally. This study aims to examine the risk factors associated with violence against women in a developing country context, specifically Turkey. This study adopted a cross-sectional research design. The study sample comprised 391 women living in a northeastern Turkish province, selected using a stratified sampling method. Participants’ ages ranged from 20 to 60 years, with a mean age of 40.83 years. The findings revealed a positive correlation between the age of both women and their spouses and the likelihood of experiencing physical and verbal violence. Factors such as the number of marriages, duration of marriage, number of children, and spousal infidelity emerged as significant risks for victimization. Additionally, an early age at first marriage, the presence of mental illness, and addiction problems were identified as critical risk factors for women’s victimization in violence. Education and employment were protective factors against violence, with higher educational levels and employment status for women and their spouses reducing the risk. Regression analyses further identified women’s education level, prior exposure to domestic violence, age at first marriage, and the addiction status of the spouse as significant predictors of violence against women. The findings provide valuable insights into the etiology of violence against women. In conclusion, the study has the potential to guide the development of more targeted and effective strategies to combat this pervasive public health and human rights issue.

Amaç: Bu çalışma, üniversite öğrencileri arasında ortoreksiya nevroza yaygınlığını ve bu olguyla ilişkili olabilecek değişkenleri incelemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Yöntem: Kesitsel tasarım kullanılarak yürütülen bu araştırma, Haziran 2020 tarihinde bir Devlet Üniversitesinin Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesinde öğrenimlerine devam etmekte olan 305 kadın (%74,6) 104 erkek (%25,4) olmak üzere toplam 409 üniversite öğrencisi ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, kişisel bilgi formu ve Ortoreksiya-15 Ölçeği (ORTO-15) kullanılarak toplanmış ve Bağımsız Örneklem T-Testi, Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi (ANOVA), Çok Değişkenli Binary Lojistik Regresyon analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin % 26,7 sinin ortorektik eğilimlerinin bulunduğu ve kadın öğrencilerin erkek öğrencilere göre anlamlı düzeyde ortorektik oldukları bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Ayrıca tanısı konmuş sağlık sorunu olan, düzenli ilaç kullanan, vitamin desteği alan, sürekli bir diyet programı uygulayan ve düzenli fiziksel aktivite yapan kişilerin daha ortorektik olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p<0,05). Sonuç: Öğrencilerin yaklaşık % 27’si riskli grupta yer almaktadır. Üniversite öğrencilerinin, düzensiz beslenme alışkanlıkları geliştirmeye karşı özellikle savunmasız oldukları bu dönemi iyi yönetememeleri yeme bozukluklarının artmasına neden olabilir. Bu kapsamda gençlere yönelik sağlıklı yaşam ve beslenme konularında eğitimler verilmesi önerilebilir. Risk grubunda yer alan bireyler için ise sağlıklı yaşamın obsesyona dönüşmesini önlemek üzere psikolojik destek sunulması yararlı olabilir. Ayrıca ortorektik eğilimlerden kaynaklanan riskleri ve sonuçları daha iyi anlamak için bu grupta daha fazla araştırma yapılması gerekmektedir.

This study was conducted to test the reliability and validity of the Pathogenic Belief Scale (PBS) on adult individuals. Participants consisted of 299 adults, including 189 (63.2%) females and 110 (36.8%) males, with a mean age of 21.16 years (SD = 3.68). Personal Information Form, Pathogenic Belief Scale-R, Cognitive Distortions Scale, and Dysfunctional Attitude Scale were used as data collection tools. The three-dimensional structure of the PBS was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis on the Turkish sample (χ2 = 204.990, df = 186, χ2/df = 1.102, comparative fit index = 0.997, normed fit index = 0.997, standardized root mean square residual =.058, and root-mean-square error of approximation =.019 (90% confidence interval [.001,.032]). Factor loadings were found to be between.470 and.761. The analyses also showed that the internal consistency reliability coefficients were at a quite good level for the undeserving dimension (α =.874, ω = 0.875), the cannot rely on others dimension (α =.794, ω = 0.799), and the interpersonal guilt dimension (α =.847, ω = 0.857). The Turkish version of the PBS is a valid and reliable tool that can be used to evaluate the pathogenic beliefs of individuals. The research results were discussed, and certain inferences were made for the future in line with the limitations.

Türkkan, Tuğba; Hatipoğlu, Ertuğrul
This study aims to determine the extent of the psychological effects of the Kahramanmaraş earthquake disaster, which is widely regarded as one of the most significant disasters of the century, on young people based on their direct or indirect exposure and to investigate the impact of these issues on life satisfaction. Data were collected from 337 individuals who were continuing their advanced education at a state university in Turkey, using a demographic information form, life satisfaction scale and Depression Anxiety Stress Scales 21. In the analysis of the data, t-test, Pearson correlation test, ANOVA and multiple regression analysis were employed. The results of the analyses indicated that as the intensity of exposure to disaster news increased, the stress, depression, and anxiety levels of the participants also increased. Individuals who experienced the earthquake personally and participated in volunteer aid activities demonstrated higher depression and anxiety scores and DASS21 scale total scores than those who did not directly experience the earthquake but followed the news and those whose relatives experienced the earthquake. There was no significant difference in the intensity of following earthquake news between men and women among the participants. However, it was determined that the intensity of following earthquake news from media and social media tools positively and significantly predicted the life satisfaction of the participants. These findings provide insights for future mental health interventions and social work practices for young people affected by the earthquake.

Kaya, Feridun; Rosell, Javiera; Odacı, Hatice; Vergés, Alvaro; Türkkan, Tuğba
The use of the internet has become an increasingly integral part of individuals’ daily lives, bringing negative consequences such as internet addiction. Understanding the motivations behind internet use is crucial for preventing addiction and developing effective intervention strategies. The objectives of this study are to test the validity and reliability of the Questionnaire of Internet Use Motives (MUI) among Turkish adults and to investigate the predictive effects of socio-demographic variables and internet use motivations on internet addiction. The study was conducted with a sample of 640 adults selected through convenience sampling at two different time points. The majority of participants were women, highly educated, and from a middle socioeconomic background. Data were collected using a socio-demographic questionnaire, the Questionnaire of Internet Use Motives (MUI), and the Internet Addiction Test (IAT). To evaluate the structural validity of the scale, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was performed. Additionally, measurement invariance across genders was examined, and Hierarchical Multiple Linear Regression Analyses were conducted to identify predictors of internet addiction. CFA confirmed the structural validity of the MUI, revealing a five-factor structure with a good fit to the data. The five identified motives were enhancement, coping, social, conformity, and utility. The analyses also demonstrated that the scale possesses convergent and discriminant validity, as well as high reliability. Furthermore, the instrument exhibited measurement invariance across genders. Significant predictors of internet addiction included educational level, socioeconomic status, and the enhancement, social, coping, and conformity motives. The validated MUI provides a robust tool for assessing internet use motives in Turkish adults, offering a foundation for future research and intervention development. Addressing psychological motives such as enhancement, social, coping, and conformity in prevention and treatment strategies may reinforce efforts to mitigate problematic internet use.

The study group consisted of 604 individuals aged between 18 and 45 years (Mean(Age) = 21.07, SD = 3.00). Data were collected using Young Internet Addiction Scale, Smartphone Addiction Scale Short Form and Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire. Findings show positive correlations between internet addiction and smartphone addiction with uncontrolled eating, cognitive restraint and emotional eating behavior. Internet and smartphone addiction were determined to positively predict emotional eating behavior, uncontrolled eating behavior and cognitive restraint. The direct effect and total effect of internet addiction on body mass index were insignificant. However results show that both smartphone and internet use by individuals affect body mass index mediated by eating behavior. This is the first study showing that smartphone and internet use both affected body mass index mediated by eating behavior. Research results emphasise the threat of addiction on physical health and suggest that educational and cognitive dietary interventions can contribute to healthy eating habits. Additionally, considering the internet may be used as an emotion regulation strategy, intervention programs may focus on developing emotion regulation skills aiming to develop coping ability for negative emotions to reduce emotional or uncontrolled eating.

In today's world, where young adults face increasing psychological and social challenges, understanding the factors that influence loneliness has become more critical than ever. This study examines whether perceived self-efficacy mediates the relationship between parental acceptance and loneliness in university students. The study population consists of undergraduate students studying at universities affiliated with the Council of Higher Education in Türkiye. Data were collected with demographic information form created by the researchers, UCLA Loneliness Scale, Adult Parental Acceptance-Rejection Scale, Coping Self-Efficacy Scale. Independent samples t-test and one-way analysis of variance were used for comparisons between groups, and Pearson's correlation analysis and mediation analysis were used to analyze the relationships between variables. According to the results, the level of acceptance perceived by male students from their mothers was higher than that of female students. There is a significant negative relationship exists between loneliness levels and parental acceptance of university students. It was found that parental acceptance scores significantly predicted loneliness and coping self-efficacy scores. This study shows that self-efficacy has a partial mediating role in the relationship between parental acceptance and loneliness and that self-efficacy may create resistance against negative emotions. Identifying this relationship and potential mediating effects at an early stage is important for strengthening the family environment and promoting healthy child development. This study will contribute to the literature with new findings to identify protective factors and develop psychosocial interventions for young adults struggling with loneliness.

Violence against women is a widespread global public health problem. It is also a serious violation of women's human rights. Violence has traumatic effects on the health and well-being of women and the children who witness it. Violence against women is associated with physical, mental, emotional, sexual health, reproductive health problems and death. Violence and gender norms, which are one of the risk factors causing the continuation of violence; also have significant effects on families and societies, and these negative effects cross social and economic boundaries. However, it is also clear that current prevention initiatives and policy responses are insufficient. Mental health professionals have an important role to play in identifying, preventing and responding appropriately to violence against women and may take primary, secondary and tertiary measures to reduce the risk of violence against women. While providing mental health services, İt is very important to be aware of interpersonal violence and to provide gender-sensitive services. When providing these services, the impact of violence against women on mental health and knowledge of potential treatments are considered as a prerequisite. Along with the knowledge about the dynamics of violence, it is considered extremely important to take measures against the risks that weaken women who are disadvantaged due to problems such as gender inequality. For this reason, in this review, the concept of violence against women and the types of violence are explained and in this context, the initiatives that can be made in the field of mental health are included. It is thought that this review will contribute to the awareness of professionals working in the field about the seriousness of the problem and how violence affects women's mental health. It is also hoped that the present study will provide insight into the complex relationship between violence and health outcomes to help improve health policies and prevention responses in the relevant field.
