State And Trait Anxiety

The aim of this research was to identify levels of participation in recreational activities in children living under the protection of children's shelter in Karaman province. Then, determine their decision making, trait anxiety and burnout levels in terms of psychosocial variables. In this qualitative study, research group consisted of 31 children between the ages of 7-18 who are protected in 6 children’s shelter which are under the control of the ministry of Family and Social Policies, coordination center of children’s shelter in Karaman. In the direction of expert guidance, the sampling group consisted of a house among 6 children’s shelter where children reside between the ages of 15-17 with 5 children capacity. Besides personal information questions, qualitative questions formed with the guidance of decision making scale, spielberger state and trait anxiety scale and maslach burnout inventory-student survey were asked the sampling group. Four themes which were recreation, decision making, trait anxiety and burnout were emerged after thematic content coding. Findings indicate that participants need more social and sportive recreational activities. Participants have positive mood, happy and their burnout level is low. They take their own decisions even they consult around people caring them. They also do not regret after their decisions. Despite they have no concern about their occupation in future due to their confidence themselves. They have nervouspsyschological structure because of their possible conflicts with their parents. Hence, it is possible that their anxiety and burnout levels can reach high level.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı, Karaman ili bünyesindeki çocuk evlerinde korunma altına alınan çocukların rekreatif faaliyetlere katılım düzeylerinin belirlenerek bu bağlamda, yaşamlarının psiko-sosyal açıdan incelenip, elde edilen verilere göre karar verme, sürekli kaygı ile tükenmişlik düzeylerini belirlemektir. Yapılan nitel araştırmada, çalışma grubunu, Karaman Aile ve Sosyal Politikalar İl Müdürlüğü, Çocuk Evleri Koordinasyon Merkezi bünyesinde oluşturulan 6 çocuk evinde koruma altına alınan 7-18 yaş aralığında toplam 31 çocuk oluşturmakta olup, örneklemini ise uzman yönlendirmesi doğrultusunda adı geçen 6 çocuk evi içerisinden 15-17 yaş aralığında çocukların ikamet ettiği ve toplamda 5 çocuk kapasiteli bir çocuk evi meydana getirmektedir.

Curling sport is called “ice chess” due to its level of precision and the complex structure of strategic thinking to win. It is a sport branch that is tactically reminiscent of chess, and technically reminiscent of bowling (Yılmaz, 2018). In this study, it is aimed to research the relationship between curling referees’ state and trait anxiety, and their decision-making abilities. In this research, a method for descriptive and correlational survey model will be used to determine the current situation. The population of the study consists of 107 referees who take charge in the activities of the Turkey Curling Federation in 2021, and the sample of the study is 97 referees. In this study, the personal information form and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI), developed by Spielberger et al. (1970) and adapted into Turkish by Öner and Le Compte (1985), and the ‘’ Melbourne Decision Making I and II Scales ” developed by Mann et al. (1998) and adapted to Turkish by Deniz (2004) are used. Data analysis is performed in SPSS 22.0 program. It is observed that the referees participating in the study have moderate state and trait anxiety levels, their self-esteem levels are high, they use careful decision-making style at a high level, and they use avoidant, procrastination, and panic decision-making styles at a low level. It is observed that curling referees’ anxiety levels are low, and their decision-making levels are moderate.

AbstractObjectives: The hypothesis that burnout is predictive of performance deficits on a number of neuropsychological tests was examined among a group of psychiatric nurses. A possible relationship between burnout and state and trait anxiety levels was also investigated.Methods: A sample of psychiatric nurses (n=45) completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Their performance on a number of neurocognitive tests from the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) was examined. The neurocognitive tests measured visual memory, verbal memory and attention.Results: Multiple regression analyses were conducted between the burnout subscales and the results of the neuropsychological tests, and also between the burnout subscales and both state and trait anxiety levels. No overall significant relationship was found between neurocognitive performance and burnout. However, trait anxiety was significantly predictive of each of the burnout subscales of emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and also of decreased personal accomplishment.Conclusions: The levels of burnout were in the moderate range for all three subscales and so the population was suffering from burnout. The fact that the trait anxiety variable was predictive of all three of the burnout subscales suggests that predisposition towards anxiety may be a vulnerability factor among people who suffer from burnout.

State And Trait Anxiety

Stress may alter executive functioning by causing structural and functional changes to the brain. Sub-optimal decisions made under high levels of stress and anxiety may act as a mediator for stress-related health effects. We examined the effect of three personality traits–chronic stress, state anxiety, and trait anxiety–on updating working memory and feedback learning across 330 participants, using electroencephalography (EEG). We hypothesized a decrease in P300 (updating working memory) and reward positivity (feedback learning) amplitudes with increasing chronic stress and anxiety scores. The three personality traits were not correlated with reward positivity amplitudes. Additionally, chronic stress had no effect on P300 amplitudes. However, state and trait anxiety were negatively correlated with P300 amplitudes. Anxiety appears to impact working memory processes, and this effect was amplified with decreasing anxiety score quantiles to reflect the tails of the distribution. Our results are evidence of the beginnings of a correlation between anxiety and the neural correlates of decision-making, offering insight into anxiety-related adverse health outcomes.
