    Covid-19 pandemic may have unique effects on emergency admissions for pediatric psychopathology: A single-center study
    (Yerküre Tanıtım & Yayıncılık Hizmetleri, 2021-01-01) Eray, Şafak; Şahin, Volkan; ERAY ÇAMLI, ŞAFAK; ŞAHİN, VOLKAN; Tıp Fakültesi; Çocuk ve Ergen Psikiyatrisi Ana Bilim Dalı; 0000-0002-4847-7751; 0000-0003-0888-2370; AAG-8101-2021; ISP-2828-2023
    Objective: In December 2019, a new coronavirus was identified that caused an epidemic across China and a worldwide pandemic (COVID-19). We aimed to examine the admissions of the children to the emergency service with psychiatric symptoms by comparing retrospectively in terms of sociodemographic variables, diagnoses, psychiatric symptoms, and psychiatric treatments during and before the Covid-19 Pandemic.Methods: In our study, the first group consisted of the 170 patients who were consulted to child and adolescent psychiatry emergency service department between 11.03.2019 and 30.09.2019 and the second group consisted of the 102 patients who have consulted in the same period previously. The statistical analysis of the study was performed by using SPSS 23. The significant level was accepted as a p-value <0.05.Results: We found that child psychiatry applications decreased by 42% compared to the previous year. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of gender and age between the two groups (p> 0.05). The diagnosis of depression and anxiety disorders were found to be the most common diagnosis in both two groups (48.8%;42%, respectively). We observed an increase in diagnoses of post-traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorders and a decrease in neurodevelopmental disorders among the children who applied to the emergency department during the Covid-19 Pandemic.Conclusion: Our results contribute the knowledge about the features of emergency administrations of children during the pandemic. Further research is crucial to ensure that child and adolescent psychiatry services are prepared in extraordinary situations such as epidemics.

    Turkish adaptation and validation of the Short-UPPS-P in adolescents and examination of different facets of impulsivity in adolescents with ADHD
    (Routledge Journals, 2022-07-22) Eray, Şafak; Sığırlı, Deniz; Yavuz, Büşra Ece; Şahin, Volkan; Liu, Melissa; Cyders, Melissa A.; ERAY ÇAMLI, ŞAFAK; SIĞIRLI, DENİZ; YAVUZ, BÜŞRA ECE; ŞAHİN, VOLKAN; Tıp Fakültesi; Biyoistatistik Ana Bilim Dalı; AAG-8101-2021; AAA-7472-2021; JSO-4693-2023; ISP-2828-2023
    The short form of the Impulsive Behavior scale (S-UPPS-P) is a widely used scale to measure multiple impulsive personality traits; although it has been translated into many languages, no Turkish translation has been studied to date. Our study had two aims. First, we tested the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the S-UPPS-P for adolescents. Second, we examined impulsive trait characteristics exhibited by adolescents with ADHD, compared to a community sample. We evaluated the psychometric properties of the Turkish S-UPPS-P scale in 384 adolescents aged 11-18 and tested correlations with ADHD symptoms by assessing 41 adolescents diagnosed with ADHD. Our results showed that with a few slight modifications the Turkish translation of the S-UPPS-P scale can validly assess impulsive trait characteristics for Turkish adolescents. The subscales of lack of premeditation, positive urgency, and negative urgency efficiently distinguished between adolescents with ADHD and control subjects. This is the first scale to evaluate the multidimensional nature of impulsivity in Turkish adolescents. This scale is capable of screening various facets of impulsivity in typically developing adolescents as well as those with ADHD, enabling us to enhance our understanding of possible risks for comorbid diseases in the latter group.
