    Comparison of anxiety levels of hospitalized COVID-19 patients, individuals under quarantine, and individuals in society
    (2022) Tokur Kesgin, Makbule; Hançer Tok, Hümeyra; Uzun, Lütfiye N.; Pehlivan, Şenay
    Purpose: This study aims to compare the anxiety levels of COVID-19 patients, individuals under quarantine, and healthy individuals in society. Design and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from May 25, 2020 to June 25, 2020 in a city located in the northwest of Turkey. The data were collected using a personal information form, the Beck Anxiety Scale, administered in face-to-face interviews, and online questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U, and logistic regression analyses. Findings: The anxiety level of individuals under quarantine (Median: min-max = 1: 0-55) was significantly lower statistically compared to that of the rest of the society (Median: min-max = 6: 0-63) and hospitalized COVID-19 patients (Median: min-max = 5: 0-42) (p = 0.0001). Female gender, being 61 years of age and older, having psychiatric and chronic illnesses, and experiencing disrupted sleep patterns were determined to be the factors associated with high levels of anxiety. Practice implications: This study found that society in general and hospitalized COVID-19 patients had high anxiety levels. The study results can be useful for creating training and population-based screening programs to control the anxiety of individuals under quarantine, hospitalized COVID-19 patients, and the rest of the society during the pandemic. Additionally, the finding from this study on groups at risk for anxiety will provide important data for future research on this subject and for the planning of health services offered to these groups.

    (Wiley, 2020) Pehlivan, Şenay; Tokur Kesgin, Makbule; Uymaz, Pelin
    Purpose This study aimed to assess university students' levels of psychological distress and mental health literacy. Design and Methods This descriptive and cross-sectional study using self-assessment instruments with 417 volunteer university students was conducted in the fall semester of the 2019-2020 academic year. Findings More than half of the participants had diagnosable psychological distress in terms of mental illness. The participants had a low level of mental health literacy, females and people with a mental illness had higher mental health literacy scores. Practice Implications The results indicated that the scales could be used to develop interventions to assist Turkish students' transition to healthy adulthood. Determining individuals' psychological distress allows early detection of mental problems.

    Study of validity and reliability of the Mental Health Literacy Scale in Turkish
    (Cumhuriyet Univ Tip Fak Psikiyatri Anabilim Dali, 2020) Tokur Kesgin, Makbule; Pehlivan, Senay; Uymaz, Pelin
    Objective: Aim of study is to adapt the Mental Health Literacy Scale to Turkish and to determine its validity and reliability. Methods: Sample of this methodological study consisted of 282 adult individuals. The data were collected with the sociodemographic data collection form and the Mental Health Literacy Scale developed O'Connor and Casey, between September 16th, 2019 and October 31st, 2019. Adaptation of the scale into Turkish was done by following the steps of translation, back translation, getting expert opinions and pilot application. The Mental Health Literacy Scale Turkish form was conducted to 282 adult individuals. The Scale has been tested with the content validity index for the scale validity; confirmatory factor analysis for construct validity; independent samples t-test to compare known group scores for; item analyses to test the scale reliability; Cronbach's alpha analysis for internal consistency of the total scale and subdomains; dependent samples t-test to compare the test-retest scores for time invariance; and intraclass correlation coefficient. The ethics committee permission was obtained and written consent was also received from the individuals. Results: The content validity index of the Turkish form of the Mental Health Literacy Scale, which was adapted into Turkish, was found to be 0.98. It was determined that the scale had six subdomains. The confirmatory factor analysis results of the scale indicated that the loadings of all items varied from 0.30 to 0.99. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.89. It was determined that the Mental Health Literacy Scale score average of the individuals was 107.37 +/- 15.94. Discussion: The results of the validity and reliability study conducted to adapt the Mental Health Literacy Scale into Turkish, showed that this scale can be used to measure mental health literacy level. The Turkish form of the scale can be used safely in programs to be performed in the Turkish society to measure and develop knowledge, beliefs and attitudes regarding mental health literacy level.
