İzmir'in çeşitli üniversitelerinde öğrenim gören 190 öğrenci araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan sosyodemografik bilgi formunu, Engellilere Yönelik Tutum Ölçeğini ve Sosyal Beğenirlik Ölçeğini doldurmuştur. Yapılan istatistiksel analizler sonucunda sosyal beğenirlik puanının Engellilere Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği alt boyutlarından "duyarlılık" ile ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur. Engellilere Yönelik Tutumlar Ölçeği toplam puan ortalamalarına bakıldığında, kadınların erkeklere göre engellilere yönelik daha olumlu tutumlara sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Bir diğer bulgu, vakıf üniversitesinde öğrenim gören öğrencilerin sosyal beğenirlik düzeylerinin, devlet üniversitesi öğrencilerine göre daha yüksek olduğu yönündedir. Son olarak, devlet üniversitesinde öğrenim gören öğrencilerin Engellilere Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği "kaynak dağıtımı" alt ölçek puanlarının vakıf üniversitesinde öğrenim gören öğrencilere göre anlamlı düzeyde daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Bir diğer deyişle devlet üniversitesi öğrencileri, engellilere ayrılan kaynaklar hakkında vakıf üniversitesi öğrencilerine göre daha olumlu tutumlara sahiptirler. Çalışmada elde edilen bulgular ilgili literatür ve sosyal engellilik modeli ışığında tartışılmıştır.

The aim was to investigate the effects of telerehabilitation-based motor imaging training (Tele-MIT) on gait, balance and cognitive and psychosocial outcomes in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). Methods This randomized, controlled pilot trial included pwMS and healthy individuals. pwMS were randomly divided into two groups, intervention and control. The intervention group received Tele-MIT twice a week for 8 weeks. The control group was a wait-list group without any additional specific treatment. Healthy participants served as a baseline comparison. The Dynamic Gait Index, used to assess dynamic balance during walking, was the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included assessments of walking speed, endurance and perceived ability, balance performance assessed by a computerized posturography device, balance confidence, cognitive functions, fatigue, anxiety, depressio...

Hence, examination of factors associated with a healthy lifestyle is important for health promotion. Self-compassion is related to health behaviors but research on the role of self-compassion facets (self-kindness vs. self-judgment, common humanity vs. isolation, mindfulness vs. over-identification) on health behaviors is scarce. A total of 423 Turkish undergraduates completed Self-Compassion Scale and Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II. Health behaviors positively correlated with self-kindness, common humanity, mindfulness, and total self-compassion but not with self-judgment, isolation, and over-identification. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that mindfulness, self-kindness, and self-judgment were significant predictors of health behaviors. Results may guide clinicians about which components to focus on in self-compassion interventions designed for health promotion.

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between death anxiety and self-actualization, depression, and trait anxiety. A Turkish sample of 116 undergraduates and adults completed Templer's Death Anxiety Scale, Personal Orientation Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory, and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory's Trait Anxiety Form. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that the only significant predictors of death anxiety were trait anxiety and gender. The correlation between death anxiety and self -actualization was found to be negative and statistically significant (p < .001). Women had significantly higher death anxiety compared to men; whereas death anxiety mean scores did not show significant differences by age group and the belief in afterlife. In conclusion, this study supports the assumptions of the existential school regarding the association between death anxiety and self-actualization.

Participants (N = 158) completed measures of psychosocial loss and ways of coping. Disability status was evaluated by attending neurologists. Coping partially mediated the relationship between disability and psychosocial loss. Disability leads to the experience of psychosocial loss but it is not the sole factor determining the formation of psychosocial loss. Coping is also associated with such losses in multiple sclerosis.
