Ruh sağlığı tanımına göre, kişilerin sağlıklı olmaları sadece psikopatolojinin yokluğu ile değil, aynı zamanda pozitif iyi oluşun göstergelerini de barındırmaları ile gözlemlenecek bir durumdur. Bu sebeple, psikolojik müdahale programlarının yalnızca semptom azaltmaya yönelik değil aynı zamanda psikolojik iyi oluşu arttırmaya yönelik koruyucu temaları işlemeleri önem arz etmektedir. Yaşam boyu gelişim evreleri göz önünde bulundurulduğunda ilkokul çağı, yetişkinliğe etki edecek sağlıklı psikolojik gelişimin inşaa edileceği bir dönem olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Modern öncesi zamanda çocuklar, yetişkin hayatına hazırlanmak ve sağlıklı psiko-sosyal gelişimi sürdürebilmek için gerekli becerileri beraber yaşadıkları geniş ailelerinden tecrübe aktarımı ile öğrenebiliyorlarken modernleşme ile beraber küçülen ailelerde yetişen çocuklar bu tecrübe akışına evlerinde ulaşamamaya başladılar. Bu sebeple psiko-sosyal gelişimi destekleyecek bilgi birikimi kurumsal yapılardan, resmi şekilde öğrenme ihtiyacı ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu ihtiyacın en etkili ve sistematik olarak karşılaşabileceği kurumlar ise çocuklar örgün öğretime devam ettiği okullar olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Okul temelli psikolojik müdahale programları incelendiğinde, bu programlara katılan öğrencilerin katılmayan öğrencilere kıyasla mutlu seviyelerinde, öz güvenlerinde, psikolojik dayanıklılıklarının, okula bağlılıklarında, öğretmen ve diğer öğrenciler ile kurdukları ilişki kalitesinde, yaşam doyumlarında ve öz yetkinlik inançlarında önemli seviyede artış olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu proje ile amaçlanan, ilkokul 4. sınıf öğrencilerine yönelik, kültüre duyarlı ve bilişsel gelişimlerine uygun, okul müfredatına entegre, öğrencilerin öz yetkinlik inançlarını arttıracak 10 haftalık bir müdahale programı geliştirmek ve uygulamaktır. İlk adımda programın içeriğinin geliştirilmesi için literatür taraması yapılarak mevcut bilgi birikimi derlenecektir. Derlenen bilgi birikiminin ışığında, uzman görüşleri de alınarak müdahale programının içeriği geliştirilecektir. Daha sonra geliştirilen içerik, Arnavutköy Suatlar İlkokulu 4. sınıf öğrencilerine, psikoloji alanında lisansüstü eğitimine devam eden psikologlar tarafından proje yürütücüsü akademisyenlerin yönetiminde, 8 - 12 kişilik gruplar halinde 10 hafta boyunca, her hafta düzenli olarak uygulanacaktır. Öğrenciler ile 10 haftalık programa başlamadan önce, katılımcı olacak öğrencilerin öğretmenlerine ve velilerine program hakkında bilgilendirme seminerleri düzenlenerek, müdahale programının etkisini arttırmak hedeflenmektedir. Uygulanan programın etkinliğinin test edilebilmesi için müdahale programı öncesinde, bitiminde ve takip eden 2 ay içinde öğrencilerden aynı ölçme materyalleri ile veri toplanacaktır. Buna paralel olarak, öğretmenlerden de öğrenciler hakkında gözlemlerini içeren bilgiler alınarak, öğrencilerden alınan bilgiler ile karşılaştırılacaktır. Proje sonunda katılım sağlayan öğrencilerin öz yetkinlik inançları arttırılması hedeflenerek, faydalanmaları sağlanacaktır. Ayrıca programın uygulanması sırasında ve sonrasında elde edilecek verilerin analizi ile literatüre katkı sağlanacaktır. Programın sürdürülebilirliğini sağlamak amacıyla programın nasıl yürütüleceğine dair detaylı bir kitapçık oluşturulacaktır.

Yayın Psychological interventions for self-harm behaviour and suicide attempts in borderline personality disorder: A systematic review(Lut TAMAM, 2024) Kavla, Büşra; Uysal, Burcu; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji BölümüSelf-harm behaviour and suicide attempts are considered maladaptive coping mechanisms by individuals with a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD). Numerous studies have demonstrated that individuals with BPD are at a heightened risk for self-harm behaviour and suicide. Therefore, there is a need for intervention efforts aimed at reducing self-harm and suicide attempts in this population by promoting more functional coping strategies. No systematic review has been conducted to explore the effectiveness of such interventions. A systematic review was performed to identify randomized controlled trials of interventions to reduce self-harm and suicide attempts among individuals with BPD, published between 2012 and 2022. PsycARTICLES, PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Taylor & Francis databases were examined in the review. A total of 6,760 studies were initially screened, only 13 were selected for review based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results indicated that the standard dialectical behaviour therapy protocol, with the addition of psychological intervention components such as skills training, exposure and acceptance, statistically significantly increased recovery. Statistically significant results have been obtained from various psychotherapeutic intervention groups such as schema therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and emotion regulation therapy However, it was noted that existing protocols might be inadequate in preventing relapse and addressing potential negative outcomes such as premature termination of therapy.Yayın Reducing test anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic: A comparison of the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy(Sage Journals, 2023) Jordan, Timothy R.; Uysal, Burcu; Görmez, Vahdet; Karatepe, Hasan Turan; Sönmez, Dilruba; Taştekne, Feyzanur; Tepedelen, Mehmed Seyda; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji BölümüEducational assessments can affect students' mental health, particularly during a pandemic. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) are widely efficacious for reducing test anxiety, as well as general anxiety and rumination. However, the effectiveness of these two therapies for students during COVID-19 is unclear. We measured the effectiveness of ACT and CBT for managing test anxiety, general anxiety, and rumination during COVID-19 for 77 students taking Türkiye's national university entrance exam, assigned to either the ACT or CBT psychoeducation programs. Both programs reduced test anxiety, general anxiety, and rumination, and showed similar levels of effectiveness. This suggests that ACT and CBT are both important for improving students' mental health during COVID-19 and either may be beneficial.Yayın Dreaming as “A life experience”: A qualitative investigation in psychosociocultural context(Universitaet Heidelberg, 2024) Gülay, Sümeyra; Uysal, Burcu; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji BölümüDreams are one of the realms of psychology and psychotherapy. In addition, people’s dream experiences and interpretations are highly influenced by individual, social and cultural contexts. A qualitative study was designed to examine in detail how meaning is given to the dream experience in Turkish society. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 adult (9 female, 7 male) participants who were not mental health professionals. The data was analyzed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis and within a critical-realistic framework. From the common narratives of the participants, three themes were developed under the overarching theme of Dreaming as “A Life Experience,” namely (i) Changing Meaning: “[Dreaming] Is Unique to Each Person,” (ii) “The Day After the Dream” and (iii) Dreaming as a Therapeutic or Spiritual “Guide.” It was observed that the participants interpreted dreams as an experience that reflects physical or environmental conditions, the daily life and inner world of the person, the social and cultural structure, and processes of the society in which they live, and may also include a spiritual experience. In addition, the participants evaluated waking and dream life as experiences that are often directly related to and affect each other. In clinical and psychotherapy practice, dream assessment can be used as a helpful resource for examining people’s life experiences. However, it is recommended that these examinations and dream studies be conducted by taking into account their social/cultural contexts. In this context, the meanings that people give to dreams in different cultures and societies should be examined.Yayın Videoconferencing-based cognitive behavioral therapy for youth with anxiety and depression during COVID-19 pandemic(SAGE, 2022) Uysal, Burcu; Morgül, Ebru; Taştekne, Feyzanur; Sönmez, Dilruba; Tepedelen, Mehmed Seyda; Gülay, Sümeyra; Görmez, Vahdet; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji BölümüThe need for psychosocial intervention programmes to address the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated lockdown restrictions on the mental health of young people is evident. Using a within subject pretest-posttest design, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of online Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)-based anxiety and depression management psychoeducation programmes on mental health and coping skills in youth ages 14–20. The Demographic Information Form, Revised Child Anxiety Depression Scale, and KidCope were administered before and after the psychoeducational programme to assess programme outcomes. The results indicate significant decreases in levels of anxiety, significant decreases in avoidance of anxiety-provoking situations and significant increases in coping skills following the online CBT Anxiety Management Psychoeducation Program. A significant decrease in depression scores was noted among the online CBT Depression Management Psychoeducation Program participants. Although these results should be interpreted cautiously due to limitations of the study (e.g., no control group, high attrition), they suggest that psychological prevention or intervention programmes may be beneficial for young people who are physically unable to go to school or who cannot interact face-to-face with social support networks.Yayın Preventive factors and resilience in intergenerational trauma transmission: A systematic review(John Wiley & Sons, 2024) Bircan, Fikriye Bilge; Uysal, Burcu; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü[No Abstract Available]Yayın Effectiveness of a psychoeducational group intervention infused with psychodrama to enhance group processes and alleviate burnout among public institution call center employees: A pilot study(Muhammed Zincirli, 2024) Uysal, Burcu; Özkul, Seyhan; Bayraktar, Ayşenur; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji BölümüThis quasi-experimental study examines the effectiveness of a psychoeducational group intervention program consisting of psychoeducation sessions and group exercises based on psychodrama warm-up activities resulting from the needs of public sector call center agents in the workplace. Forty municipality call center employees from two municipalities (intervention and control groups) completed pre- and post-test measures before and after the intervention program. Within the scope of the study in sociodemographic form, the Brief Psychological Resilience Scale (BPRS), Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS), Organization-Based Self-Esteem Scale (OBSES), Group Cohesion Scale (GCS), and Group Atmosphere Scale (GAS) were used. A follow-up session and follow-up test for the intervention group took place one month after the completion of the intervention sessions. The intervention group showed significant pre-to-post-test short-term effects on psychological resilience and pre-to-follow-up long-term effects on group atmosphere scores. However, there was no significant change in burnout, well-being, or organization-based self-esteem scores. Moreover, no significant difference was noted in the control group from pre- to post-test, except for the decrease in the group atmosphere scores.Yayın Youth violence and aggression interventions in Türkiye: A protocol for systematic review(Kocaeli Büyükşehir Belediyesi, 2024) Uysal, Burcu; Muftareviç, Sümeyye; Kavla, Büşra; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji BölümüUnderstanding and working violence and aggression in adolescents and young adults is critical for nurturing societal well-being and fostering developmental growth. This planned systematic review aims to reveal the accumulation of practical application examples to raise awareness in this field. It will systematically examine the interventions, educational tactics, and programs designed to decrease the prevalence of violence and aggression among adolescents and young adults in Turkey. This current study aims to clarify whether the current state of the research will be suitable for a systematic review. Despite the considerable impact of aggressive behavior on social relationships and cognitive development, research on this topic in Turkey is suggested to be limited. Strict inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, and a thorough search was conducted in databases including DergiPark, ERIC, Web of Science, and Scopus, employing terms such as ‘violence,’ ‘aggression,’ and ‘Turkish adolescent’. This approach has surfaced a significant yet underexplored corpus of relevant literature, suggesting a more substantial research foundation than previously acknowledged. Our initial query retrieved 4786 studies, of which 621 were redundant entries identified via Rayyan, spanning from 1995 to 2024. The planned review will seek to provide a compre- hensive analysis of these interventions, offering insights that could inform policymakers, educators, and practitioners. While limitations exist, as with any literature review, the preliminary findings anticipate guiding evidence-based approaches and participating in the international conversation on culturally attuned preventive strategies. The initial data presents a landscape that underscores the importance for researchers to conduct a thorough literature review, given the substantial body of work already existing in this field. Thoroughly examining the existing literature can be crucial for informing new research as well as designing interventions and prevention measures.Yayın Transdiagnostic unified protocol on anxiety disorders(The European Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies, 2023) Aydın, İclal; Turkcapar, Hakan; Uysal, BurcuIntroduction: The transdiagnostic approach argues that the common features are needed to be taken into account [e.g. distress intolerance (DI), intolerance of uncertainty (IU), anxiety sensitivity (AS)] underlying emotional disorders rather than evaluating them separately since the dissection of anxiety disorders has increased with each emerging version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), in which the classification of anxiety disorders resulted in an increased number of intervention protocols for each disorder. That is why an increase in comorbidity among anxiety disorders is observed. This also caused an increase in comorbidity among anxiety disorders. The transdiagnostic approach offers a unified protocol (UP) for strengthening the common features, thereby both preventing the emergence of emotional disorders andor intervening in the symptom severity of emotional disorders, which can be applied to different types of emotional disorders. The main aim of this study is to develop a unified protocol. The UP will include interventions developing the levels of common transdiagnostic features (DI, IU, AS).Yayın Examining the effectiveness of a group hope intervention program in Syrian refugee children: A pilot study(Taylor & Francis, 2023) Uysal, Burcu; Ataman, Aslıhan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji BölümüThe purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a 6-session hope-based intervention program on the levels of hope and psychological resilience of Syrian refugee children. The pre-test post-test control group design was implemented. A total of 42 Syrian refugee students in 5th grade participated in the study. 2 × 2 mixed ANOVA, independent sample t-test, and dependent sam-ple t-test were conducted for data analysis. Mixed ANOVA revealed that the intervention group had more improvement in hope and psychological resilience scores compared to the control group. Dependent sample t-test revealed that while the hope and resili-ence scores of the intervention group were maintained, the hope scores of the control group significantly decreased. Independent sample t-test revealed a statistically significant difference between the post-test hope scores of the groups. Research findings sup-ported that hope-oriented approaches can be effective in improv-ing the resilience of Syrian refugee children in the long term.Yayın The inventory of problems-29 is a cross?culturally valid symptom validity test: Initial validation in a Turkish community sample(Springer, 2023) Akca, Ali Y. E.; Tepedelen, Mehmed Seyda; Uysal, Burcu; Erdodi, Laszio A.; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji BölümüBecause the actuarial evidence base for symptom validity tests (SVTs) is developed in a specific population, it is unclear whether their clinical utility is transferable to a population with different demographic characteristics. To address this, we report here the validation study of a recently developed free-standing SVT, the Inventory of Problems-29 (IOP-29), in a Turkish community sample. We employed a mixed design with a simulation paradigm: The Turkish IOP–29 was presented to the same participants (N = 125; 53.6% female; age range: 19–53) three times in an online format, with instructions to respond honestly (HON), randomly (RND), and attempt to feign a psychiatric disorder (SIM) based on different vignettes. In the SIM condition, participants were presented with one of three scripts instructing them to feign either schizophrenia (SIM-SCZ), depression (SIM-DEP), or posttraumatic stress disorder (SIM-PTSD). As predicted, the Turkish IOP–29 is effective in discriminating between credible and noncredible presentations and equally sensitive to feigning of different psychiatric disorders: The standard cutoff (FDS ? .50) is uniformly sensitive (90.2% to 92.9%) and yields a specificity of 88%. Random responding produces FDS scores more similar to those of noncredible presentations, and the random responding score (RRS) has incremental validity in distinguishing random responding from feigned and honest responding. Our findings reveal that the classification accuracy of the IOP–29 is stable across administration languages, feigned clinical constructs, and geographic regions. Validation of the Turkish IOP–29 will be a valuable addition to the limited availability of SVTs in Turkish. We discuss limitations and future directions.
