Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that begins in childhood and often persists into adulthood, characterized by difficulties with attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. This study aims to explore the relationship between ADHD, emotion regulation difficulties, and sleep quality in adults. Thirty-nine adults with ADHD were compared to thirty-seven healthy controls. Participants completed the Wender Utah Rating Scale (WURS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). Participants were categorized based on their WURS scores those with a score of 36 or higher (ADHD group) and those with a score below 36 (non ADHD group). Comparisons of the PSQI and DERS scores between groups revealed that the group with ADHD had significantly higher total and subscale DERS scores compared to the group without ADHD. However, no significant differences were observed between the groups in terms of PSQI total and subscale scores. When the relationship between emotion regulation difficulties and sleep quality of participants diagnosed with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was examined, a correlation was found between DERS total and subscale scores and PSQI total and subscale scores. The findings suggest that adults with ADHD have more difficulties in emotion regulation than those without ADHD. Although no difference in sleep quality was found in our study between adults with ADHD and those without ADHD, the correlation between PSQI and DERS suggests that developing emotion regulation strategies with a transdiagnostic approach may help improve sleep quality.

Aim: Pregnancy, birth and post-partum period is an important process in which many physiological, psychological and social changes are experienced by mothers and fathers. Pregnancy is also one of the periods when sexuality is most affected, and sexual dysfunctions are common during this period. The aim of this study is to investigate the sexuality and sexual myths of pregnant women and their partners. Material and Method: This research was conducted in an university hospital in Turkey with a total of 128 participants, 77 pregnant women and 51 spouses who agreed to participate. Results: There was a statistically significant relationship in terms of working status, having a history of miscarriage in the family, and sexual knowledge adequacy before marriage. Men's employment rate and pre-marital sexual knowledge adequacy status were higher than women. A statistically significant difference has been achieved in the "Sexuality/Attractivess" sub-dimension in Sexual Myths During Pregnancy Scale (SMDPS) and the "Avoidance" and "Communication" sub-dimensions in Glombock - Rust sexual satisfaction Scale (GRSSS). An inverse low correlation between sexual myths during pregnancy and GRSSS in men and low-level lineer relationship between GRSSS and Relationship Satisfaction Scale(RSSS) scores in women are detected. Conclusions: Exaggerated, false beliefs that are considered true but not actually related to sexuality, sexual myths negatively affect the relationship of couples. The prevalence of sexual myths during pregnancy will decrease and the impact on the quality of sexual life during pregnancy will be minimized by obtaining consultancy services.

Objective: Nomophobia (No MObile PHone PhoBIA) refers to the concern or fear that individuals experience when they're without their mobile phone or they're unfit to use it. This research aimed to elucidate the relationship between nomophobia, social media addiction, and emotion regulation difficulties in university students.Method: A total of 100 volunteer medical school students, 55 female and 45 male, with an average age of 23, are included in this study. The questionnaires included sociodemographics and social media usage characteristics, The Turkish Nomophobia Scale, the social media addiction scale, and the emotion regulation difficulties scale. The data were collected in a face-to-face manner by the researchers.Results: There was a moderately positive, statistically significant relationship between the emotion regulation difficulties scale total score, the social media addiction scale total score, and the total scores of the Turkish Nomophobia Scale.Conclusion: Emotion regulation difficulties may explain nomophobia and social media addiction. Developing emotion regulation strategies may help reduce nomophobia and addictive use of social media.

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between caregiver burden, family adaptation, partnership, growth, affection, and resolve score, anxiety levels, and the perceived social support of the relatives of patients who had open heart surgery.

Behçet’s disease (BD) is a chronic systemic inflammatory vasculitis of unknown etiology characterized by recurrent episodes of oral aphthous ulcers, genital ulcers, skin lesions, ocular lesions, and other manifestations. This disease affects many organs and systems and shows a wide range of clinical manifestations. The prevalence of anxiety, depression, and general psychiatric symptoms is higher among patients with BD compared with healthy individuals. However, syndromes such as psychosis appear to be less frequent. Therefore, we present a case of BD complicated by schizophrenia-like symptoms.

Backgrounds: A combination of social inhibition and negative affectivity characterizes Type D personality. Type D, or distressed personality, is an established risk factor for the development and prognosis of coronary heart disease. It occurs in approximately 1 in 4 patients with coronary heart disease. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Type D personality, illness perception, and coping strategies in patients undergoing open-heart surgery. Methods: This retrospective and cross-sectional study was conducted in a university hospital psychiatry and cardiovascular surgery clinics between February 2022 and April 2022. Seventy-one volunteered patients over the age of 18 who underwent open-heart surgery in the cardiovascular surgery clinic were included in the study. Cardiovascular surgeons recorded the sociodemographic and clinical data of the patients and referred them to the psychiatry clinic for further evaluation. Subsequently, patients underwent psychiatric evaluation and were assessed using the Type D Personality Scale, Coping Attitudes Assessment Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and Illness Perception Questionnaire. Results: According to this study, individuals with Type D personality tended to have higher scores on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Analysis of the subdimensions of the Stress Coping Styles Scale revealed that individuals with Type D personalities showed a significantly lower optimistic approach and a considerably higher helpless approach. In terms of the subdimensions of the Illness Perception Questionnaire, it was found that individuals with Type D personality had a statistically lower treatment control approach and a statistically higher emotional representations approach. Conclusions: Identifying Type D personality traits in patients undergoing open-heart surgery can help manage negative illness perceptions through effective coping mechanisms.
