The goal of this study was to examine the effects of mindfulness (MF) and spiritual intelligence (SI) as predictors of depression and anxiety, the most frequent manifestations of mental disorders – among 184 Turkish participants of diverse ages, predominantly students, living in Istanbul and Sarajevo. Four instruments were administered either directly or via web-based services: Scale for Spiritual Intelligence (SSI), Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire – Short Form (FFMQ-S) and Sociodemographic Information Form. Through the use of linear regression analysis, Actaware (b=-.19, p≤.001), Nonjudge (b=-.22, p≤.001), Nonreact (b=-.19, p≤.001) subscales of FFMQ-S were found to be negative predictors for depression and anxiety, whereas, Self-understanding subscale of SSI was not significant. Although our findings suggest that spiritual intelligence is not significant in prediction of depression and anxiety, our research provides empirical evidence for the link between MF, SI, depression and anxiety, as well as revealing MF as predictor for anxiety and depression which may be useful for further improvements in the scope of current interventions.

Abstract: Mindfulness and social cognition skills in the prediction of affective symptomatology in schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder and nonclinical participants. The aim of the study was to investigate significant predictors of affective symptomatology in schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder and healthy controls. The sample was of 91 participants who completed the following instruments: the Eye Test (emotional recognition), the Hinting Task (theory of mind), the Ambiguous Intentions and Hostility Questionnaire(AIHQ; attributional style), Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI; empathy), the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS; mindfulness trait), the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire-Short Form(FFMQ-SF), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(HADS). Significant predictors of affective symptomatology were: mindfulness (dispositional or trait mindfulness, nonreactivity and nonjudgment), and social cognition (SC) (attributional style and theory of mind). Mediation analysis showed that theory of mind was the only significant mediator of affective symptomatology. This paper shows the role of mindfulness and SC skills in the prediction of affective symptomatology.Keywords: mindfulness, social cognition, theory of mind, affective symptomatology, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder.Resumen:El objetivo del estudio fue investigar predictores significativos de sintomatología afectiva en Esquizofrenia (EZ), trastorno obsesivo compulsivo (TOC) y controles no clínicos. La muestra fue de 91 participantes que completaron los siguientes instrumentos: Eyes Test (reconocimiento emocional), Hinting Task (teoría de la mente), Ambiguous Intentions and Hostility Questionnaire (AIHQ; estilo atribucional), Índice de Reactividad Interpersonal (IRI; empatía), Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS;mindfulness rasgo), Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire-Short Form (FFMQ-SF), y Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).Los resultados mostraron que el mindfulness (mindfulness rasgo, no reactividad y no juicio) y la cognición social (estilo atribucional y teoría de la mente) fueron predictores significativos. Los análisis de mediación señalaron la variable de teoría de la mente, como único mediador significativo de la sintomatología afectiva.Los resultados de este estudio señalan el papel de las habilidades de mindfulness y cognición social en la predicción de sintomatología afectiva.Palabras clave: mindfulness, cognición social, teoría de la mente, sintomatología afectiva, esquizofrenia, trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo.

The action of hemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease can trigger anxiety due to situational crisis, death threat and not know the final result of hemodialysis action. The purpose of this systematic review is to gain an understanding of the anxiety of patients with chronic kidney disease with hemodialysis action. The results of a review of 15 journals that have been selected suggest that patients with chronic kidney disease with hemodialysis actions mostly experience anxiety. The most widely used instruments are (HADS) Hospital Anxiety And Depression Scale (n = 5). Factors affecting anxiety of chronic kidney disease patients with hemodialysis action are social demographic factors such as sex, age, occupation, duration of hemodialysis and education. Other factors are psychological, social perception, non pharmacological action (progressive muscular), (aroma therapy) and spiritual intelligence. The conclusion that anxiety disorder is very important, and appropriate Instrument will affect patient objective anxiety results. The need for a team collaborative approach to reduce anxiety of patients with chronic kidney disease by hemodialysis. Keywords : Anxiety, Chronic Kidney Disease, Hemodialysis

Abstract Introduction We examined the relationship between depression and anxiety, language, and functional outcomes in persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods The sample consisted of 48 acute TBI (ATBI: 23 Spanish-English Bilinguals; 25 English monolinguals), 30 chronic TBI (CTBI: 17 Spanish English Bilinguals; 12 English monolinguals), and 47 healthy comparison (HC: 29 Spanish-English Bilinguals; 18 English monolinguals) participants. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to measure depression (HADS-D) and anxiety (HADS-A). The Mayo Portland Adaptability Inventory-4 (MPAI-4) was used to measure functional outcomes (ability, adjustment, participation). Results An ANCOVA, controlling for age, revealed the ATBI group reported lower anxiety levels compared to the CTBI group, p = 0.034 np2 = 0.06. HC participants demonstrated significantly higher functional ability compared to both TBI groups, p < 0.05, np2 = 0.08–0.19. The ATBI group demonstrated worse participation scores compared to the CTBI and HC groups, p = 0.001, np2 = 0.11. Pearson correlations revealed mood was related to functional status in ATBI monolinguals (HADS-A: r = 0.29–0.64; HADS-D, r = 0.49–0.62). Monolingual participants with ATBI demonstrated correlations between depressive symptoms and functional adjustment (r = 0.57, p = 0.005) and ability (r = 0.44, p = 0.034). For monolinguals with CTBI, HADS-A correlated with functional outcomes, r = 0.60–0.66, p < 0.05. For bilinguals with CTBI, functional outcomes correlated with HADS-A, r = 0.53–0.66, p < 0.05, and HADS-D, r = 0.54–0.66, p < 0.05. For HC monolinguals, functional outcomes correlated with HADS-A, r = 0.53–0.70, p < 0.05, and HADS-D, r = 0.50–0.72, p < 0.05. Finally, for HC bilinguals, functional outcomes correlated with HADS-A, r = 0.59–0.68, p < 0.05. Conclusion Our results suggest that a relationship between anxiety and depressive symptoms is related more to functional outcomes in monolingual TBI survivors compared to bilingual TBI survivors.

AbstractObesity may be considered a social stigma. In addition, people with obesity are frequently aware of stigma directed at others who have a similar weight and come to think stigmatized thoughts about themselves. Our study focused specifically on how blatant and subtle discrimination and weight self-stigma are related to depression and anxiety in people with obesity. The sample comprised 170 participants from the Clinical Nutrition Unit of the “Hospital de Valme” (Seville, Spain). The Weight Self-Stigma Questionnaire, the Multidimensional Perceived Discrimination Scale, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were used. It was found that blatant and subtle discrimination and weight self-stigma were positively related to depression (.31, .38, and .45 respectively) and anxiety (.30, .36, and .49 respectively; all ps < .01). The path analysis conducted showed that there was a mediational effect of weight self-stigma between blatant (β = .36) and subtle discrimination (β = .40) and depression (β = .24) and anxiety (β = .49; all ps < .01). According to these results, it can be said that weight self-stigma was a full mediator in the model found because the relationships between the independent and the dependent variables were non-significant. Finally, results are discussed in the frame of the obesity stigma literature, and some clinical implications of the results of the study are suggested.

Pain, anxiety, and depression are symptoms that need attention in physiotherapeutic practice, once they influence the functionality of patients, so understanding them becomes an important tool. The aim of the study was to verify the levels of pain, depression, and anxiety in patients attended at a physiotherapy center. A cross-sectional clinical study in which a sociodemographic questionnaire was applied, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (MRQ). Seven patients participated and presented a MRI score of 18.57 ± 2.63 points, HADS in the topic anxiety 12.71 ± 5.43 points, HADS depression 9.57 ± 5.22 points and the resting VAS presented an average of 4 , 42 ± 3.9 pain points and in motion showed 8.71 ± 0.95. It is concluded that the population with low back pain has high intensity of pain, probable anxiety and possible level of depression.

Background:The Cochin 17-item Scleroderma Functional (CSF-17) Scale is a patient-reported outcome measure evaluating activities and participation in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc).Objectives:The aim of the present study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the CSF-17 into the Turkish language and investigate its convergent validity and reliability in Turkish-speaking patients with SSc.Methods:The CSF-17 was cross-culturally adapted according to Beaton’s guideline. Participants completed CSF-17 Scale, Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire (SHAQ), Short Form-12 (SF-12) Health Survey and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Internal consistency and test-retest reliability were determined interpreting Cronbach’s alpha and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) values, respectively. Convergent validity was tested using Pearson’s correlation coefficient.Results:Fifty-six patients with SSc were enrolled in the study. Cronbach’s alpha and ICC values of the CSF-17 total score were found to be as 0.963 and 0.958, respectively, indicating excellent reliability. As for the convergent validity, it was determined that CSF-17 total score has a good correlation with SHAQ. Correlations of subscales of CSF-17 with subscales of SF-12 and HADS ranged from poor to moderate (Table 1).Conclusion:Tukish version of CSF-17 met the set criteria of reliability and convergent validity. According to the results of the analysis, it was concluded that the Turkish version of the CSF-17 is a reliable and valid tool for Turkish-speaking SSc patients.References:[1]Daste C, Abdoul H, Foissac F et al.
