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 problems and resilience among Syrian adolescents exposed to war(Elsevier, 2022) Uysal, Burcu; Uysal, Burcu; Yanık, Medaim; Taştekne, Feyzanur; Tüzgen, Esma; Altınışık, Esra; Acartürk, CerenThere are very few holistic studies that consider a resilience and risk-oriented approach to Syrian adolescent refugees living in Turkey, and most of these studies have been conducted with relatively small samples. Furthermore, dissociation as a universal response to childhood trauma has been neglected by researchers in the study of Syrian adolescents. Therefore, this study aimed to correct this omission by investigating the level of psychological problems (especially dissociation) and resilience with the predictors of those levels, as reported by 430 Syrian adolescents aged between 12 and 18 in Turkey. The prevalence of the participants who had higher than the cut-off value in dissociation was 47.2% and in PTSD was 61.3%. Additionally, in the proportion of medium to severe levels, 72.8% of the participants had anxiety symptoms and 51.5% had depressive symptoms. The level of resilience among the adolescents was about average with 60.7% of the participants displaying moderate to exceptionally high resilience.While the high number of traumatic experiences and use of negative religious coping methods came to the fore as predictors of psychological problems, social support from family and friends and positive religious coping methods were the common predictors for the assessment of higher resilience. The findings from this study may be of assistance to the development of preventive intervention programs for adolescent refugees in general and Syrian adolescent refugees in particular.Yayın Antisocial behaviour and violent delinquency among boys with a migration background: A German panel study(IOS Press, 2020) Uysal, Burcu; Stemmler, Mark; Weiss, Maren; Uysal, Burcu; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji BölümüImmigrant boys show higher rates of antisocial behaviour. However, results of previous studies showed some contradictory findings in terms of intercultural differences in antisocial behaviour. In our study, we used an intercultural comparison of antisocial behaviour based on two different definitions of migration status (nationality vs. migration background). According to migration background, however not according to nationality, significant but small differences were found only in violent delinquency. A longitudinal mediator model based on the disintegration approach (Anhut & Heitmeyer, 2000) was examined in order to contribute to our understanding of the background of violent delinquency in immigrant boys. The data were from a German panel study conducted in the cities of Dortmund and Nuremberg. The results of the mediator model showed that perceived discrimination and negative parenting affect violent delinquency indirectly through violence attitudes, self-control, and peer delinquency. The findings suggest that preventive measures against violent delinquency should focus on these indirect effects and migrant-specific variables.Yayın Examining the effectiveness of a group hope intervention program in Syrian refugee children: A pilot study(Taylor & Francis, 2023) Ataman, Aslıhan; Uysal, Burcu; 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 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; Uysal, Burcu; Morgül, Ebru; 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 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 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; 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.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) Uysal, Burcu; Görmez, Vahdet; Karatepe, Hasan Turan; Sönmez, Dilruba; Taştekne, Feyzanur; Tepedelen, Mehmed Seyda; Jordan, Timothy R.; Uysal, Burcu; 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.
