Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0The Relationship Between Exam Anxiety, Depression, and Back Pain in Physicians Preparing for the Specialty Exam(verduci Publisher, 2022) Dönmezdil, Süleyman; Donmezdil, S.; Department of Psychology / Psikoloji BölümüOBJECTIVE: This study aims at examining the possibility of anxiety and depression in physicians preparing for the specialty exam and the back pain caused by continuous working with these depressive symptoms. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The research was started by getting approval from the local Ethics Committee of Gazi Yasargil Training and Research Hospital. Socio-demographic data form, EQ-5D general quality of life scale, Oswestry low back pain disability scale, and Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) were applied to volunteers. RESULTS: Among the physicians participating in our study, both anxiety and depression scores from the HADS scale scores applied to the exam preparation group were statistically significantly higher than those of students who did not pre-pare for the exam. CONCLUSIONS: In our study, the highness of the scale scores in the exam preparation group was statistically high. It should not be ignored that there may be complaints of anxiety, depression, and low back pain during the preparation period for the specialty examination in physicians. During the exams' periods, psychosocial support mechanisms should be activated, and active exercise activities should be recommended. For more detailed data, large-scale participatory studies are needed.Article Citation - WoS: 0Organic or Psychosomatic a Cross-Sectional Study Organic or Psychosomatic(Bayrakol Medical Publisher, 2022) Dönmezdil, Süleyman; Arac, Esref; Yesildal, Mahir; Guleken, Mehmet Diyadin; Tuzun, Abidin; Department of Psychology / Psikoloji BölümüAim: Symptomatic treatments of psychosomatic symptoms are not successful because they cannot solve true etiological causes. To resolve the disorder, it is first necessary to investigate and diagnose the underlying cause and persuade the patient to use the appropriate drugs. In this study, it was aimed to make suggestions in order to identify patients who may have psychiatric symptoms and to prevent unnecessary invasive procedures by scanning psychosomatic symptoms prior to endoscopy indication. Material and Methods: The Cornell index, Beck depression and Anxiety scales, and the Somatization scale were applied to 140 patients whose EGD procedure was planned. The patients were divided into three groups as normal endoscopic examination, antral gastritis, and other disease diagnoses (erosive gastritis, gastric ulcer, etc.). Beck Depression and Beck Anxiety Inventory scores were statistically lower in other diagnostic groups than in normal endoscopic findings and antral gastritis groups. Also, scores on the somatization scale were significantly higher in normal endoscopic findings and antral gastritis groups compared to other diagnostic groups. Results: In patients who underwent EGD, the process was found to be more likely to cause normal endoscopic examination as the age decreased. In addition, somatization, Cornell index, anxiety and depression scores were higher at a young age. The Cornell Medical Index showed a significantly higher sub-score of the strong neurotic structure in the antral gastritis group compared to the other groups. Similarly, there were significantly higher scores for the subscales of depression, irritability-anxiety, fear-startle, psychosomatic symptoms, hypochondriasis, and gastrointestinal disorders in the antral gastritis group compared to other diagnostic groups Discussion: Our results show that applying the somatization scale or an equivalent screening scale to screen psychiatric symptoms before seeking endoscopic examination, especially in the young population, can provide early treatment and prevent increased treatment costs.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Comparison of healthcare workers and non-healthcare workers in terms of obsessive-compulsive and depressive symptoms during COVID-19 pandemic: a longitudinal case-controlled study(Frontiers, 2023) Dönmezdil, Süleyman; Dönmezdil, Süleyman; Department of Psychology / Psikoloji BölümüObjective: The aim of this study was to investigate the obsessive-compulsive and depressive symptoms of healthcare workers in a case-control setting as longitudinal. Method: In this study included 49 healthcare workers and 47 non-health workers. A sociodemographic data form, the Maudsley Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (MOCI), the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) were used to assess individuals between June 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021. We assessed the same healthcare workers after 12 months on June 30, 2021 using MOCI, HAM-D, and SCL-90. Results: MOCI and SCL-90 obsessive-compulsive subscale scores were significantly higher in the healthcare workers than in the non-health workers. When we assessed MOCI, HAM-D, and SCL-90 obsessive-compulsive subscale scores after 12 months, there was a statistically significant decrease in the scores of all three scales among the healthcare workers. Conclusion: The results of the study showed that healthcare workers were more likely to have obsessive-compulsive symptoms than non-health workers in the early part of the pandemic on June 1, 2020, as shown by their scores on MOCI and the obsessive-compulsive subscale of SCL-90. When we assessed the same participants after 12 months (June 30, 2021), both MOCI and SCL-90 obsessive-compulsive subscale scores had decreased significantly. In contrast to these results, HAM-D scores significantly increased.
