Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı bipolar bozukluk tanısı konulan kadın hastalarda işlevsellik ve manevi iyilik hali arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı türde yapıldı. Araştırma Ocak 2023 ile Ocak 2024 tarihleri arasında Türkiye’nin doğusunda bulunan bir hastanenin psikiyatri polikliniğine başvuran 61 kadın bipolar hastası ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Bipolar Bozukluk İşlevsellik Ölçeği (BBİÖ) ve Manevi İyilik Hali Ölçeği (FACIT-Sp-12) kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin değerlendirilmesinde; sayı, ortalama, yüzdelik dağılımlar, standart sapma ve pearson korelasyon analizleri kullanıldı. Bulgular: Araştırma katılımcılarının BBİÖ toplam puan ortalamasının 96.21±20.02 olduğu, FACIT-Sp-12 toplam puan ortalamasının ise 31.26±9.35 olduğu bulundu. Bipolar bozukluk tanısı konulan kadın hastaların işlevsellik ve manevi iyi oluş puan ortalamaları arasında pozitif yönde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu belirlendi. Sonuçlar: Bipolar bozukluk tanısı konulan kadın hastaların işlevselliklerinin orta düzeyde olduğu, manevi iyilik hali düzeylerinin ise ortalamanın üzerinde olduğu belirlendi. Bipolar bozukluk tanısı konulan kadın hastaların işlevsellikleri ve manevi iyilik halleri arasında pozitif yönde bir ilişki olduğu tespit edildi.

Background This study was conducted to examine the effect of hope and psychological well-being on quality of life in elderly cancer patients using latent profile analysis (LPA). Method The study was conducted with 398 elderly cancer patients in Ataturk University Research in Turkey between September 2024 and January 2025. R programming language 4.1.3, G*Power 3.1 and SPSS-22 program were used in the analysis of the study. Results In our study, in the first stage of LPA analysis, BIC values were obtained by iterating each model and each class for 4 models and 9 classes. Since the lowest BIC value was found in the EEE model, the EEE model was considered as the appropriate model in the study and the class analysis was performed over this model. It is concluded that the best fitting class is the 2-class solution. As a result of LPA, class 1 has the lowest arithmetic mean in all indicators. According to the latent classes of the individuals in our study; it was found that the quality of life of individuals with Low Psychological Status was significantly lower than individuals with High Psychological Status (p < 0.05). Conclusion In our study, two classes were found as a result of LPA. According to the classes, it was found that the quality of life of individuals with low psychological status was lower than individuals with high psychological status. Increased hope and psychological well-being were found to improve quality of life in elderly cancer patients. Longitudinal studies on quality of life in elderly cancer patients are recommended.
The Mediating Role of Spiritual Well-Being in the Relationship Between Self-Care Agency and Hope in Patients Diagnosed with Schizophrenia: A Cross-Sectional and Correlational Study
(BMC, 2025) Ozturk, Zeynep; Durmus, Mustafa; Ay, Emrah; Okanli, Ayse
Background/AimsResearch shows that low self-care ability and hopelessness are common in schizophrenia patients. Spirituality can be a key coping resource in managing mental illnesses. However, the mediating effect of spirituality on the relationship between self-care ability and hope in schizophrenia patients is unknown. This study aims to explore the mediating role of spiritual well-being in the relationship between self-care agency and hope in schizophrenia.MethodThis study is cross-sectional and correlational study with a descriptive design. The study was conducted with 116 schizophrenia patients who presented to the psychiatry outpatient clinic of a university hospital in eastern Turkey between 10.02. 2023 and 10.01. 2024. Descriptive Information Form, Self-Care Agency Scale, Herth Hope Index and Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Spiritual Well-Being Scale were used to collect the data. Structural equation modelling and bootstrapping method were used to analyse the data.ResultsIn this study, the effect of self-care agency on hope (beta = 0.12) was positive but not significant. However, self-care agency positively influenced spiritual well-being (beta = 0.47), and spiritual well-being had a significant positive effect on hope (beta = 0.83). Spiritual well-being fully mediated the relationship between self-care agency and hope, with the total mediated effect on hope being significant (beta = 0.52). The model explained 23% of the variance in spiritual well-being and 80% of the variance in hope.ConclusionIt was determined that self-care agency affected spiritual well-being positively and spiritual well-being affected hope positively in schizophrenia patients. It was also found that spiritual well-being mediated the relationship between self-care agency and hope. It is expected that this research model will be useful in formulating strategies to improve hope and self-care in schizophrenia patients.
