The Effect of Smoking Cigarettes on the Progression of Psychotic Experiences to Psychotic Disorder
Background: Smoking cigarettes is highly prevalent in psychosis. However, the relationship between smoking and psychosis is still unclear. Aims: This paper aims to investigate the probable association in a 6-year follow up of community-based population. Methods: A general population sample were contacted at baseline ( n = 4,011) and at 6-year follow-up ( n = 2,185). Both at baseline and follow-up (newly developing/persistent), smoking cigarettes …
Public Knowledge, Stigma, and Discrimination Toward Schizophrenia
PURPOSE: In light of the limited and predominantly regional evidence on public stigma toward schizophrenia in Türkiye, this study aimed to address the lack of nationally representative data by investigating public perceptions of schizophrenia, levels of knowledge, and attitudes toward social distance and related factors in a large, nationally representative sample from Türkiye. In doing so, the research questions were explicitly derived from this…
Mapping genomic loci implicates genes and synaptic biology in schizophrenia
Izmir Mental Health Cohort for Gene-Environment Interaction in Psychosis (TürkSch)
Objective: TürkSch is a prospective, longitudinal study in a representative community sample (İzmir, Turkey), consisting of several data collection stages, to screen and follow-up mental health outcomes, with a special focus on the extended and transdiagnostic psychosis phenotype. The aim of the present paper is to describe the research methodology, data collection results, and associations with noncontact and refusal in the longitudinal arm. Met…
White Noise Speech Illusions
Introduction: White noise speech illusions index liability for psychotic disorder in case-control comparisons. In the current study, we examined i) the rate of white noise speech illusions in siblings of patients with psychotic disorder and ii) to what degree this rate would be contingent on exposure to known environmental risk factors (childhood adversity and recent life events) and level of known endophenotypic dimensions of psychotic disorder …
European network for promoting the physical health of residents in psychiatric and social care facilities (HELPS)
A general strategy on health promotion for people with mental disorders must take into account behavioural, environmental and iatrogenic health risks. A European health promotion toolkit needs to consider heterogeneity of mental disorders, the multitude of physical health problems, health-relevant behaviour, health-related attitudes, health-relevant living conditions, and resource levels in mental health and social care facilities
Normative data and discriminative properties of short form 36 (SF-36) in Turkish urban population
Our findings, cautiously generalisable to urban population, suggest that the SF-36 can be a valuable tool for studies on health outcomes in Turkish population. SF-36 may also be a promising measure for research on health inequalities in Turkey and other developing countries
Quality of Life Assessment in Turkish Patients with Schizophrenia and Their Relatives
Quality of life of first-degree relatives living in the same household with patients having schizophrenia has not been sufficiently explored. 30 patients with schizophrenia (16 women, 14 men), diagnosed using DSM-IV criteria, 31 of their relatives (15 women, 16 men), and 34 control subjects (21 women, 13 men) were included in the study. The mean age of the patients, their relatives, and the control subects were 39.8 +/- 10.9, 58.1 +/- 12.5 and 37…
