Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between mindful attention awareness (MAA) levels in euthymic bipolar disorder (BD) type I patients with the frequency of attacks, treatment compliance and insight levels.
Materials and Methods: Ninety-seven euthymic BD type I were included in the study. Sociodemography Data Form, Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS), Insight Assessment Scale (IAS) were applied to the patients who gave consent for the study.
Results: Patients with high and moderate treatment compliance were found to have higher levels of mindfulness than those with a low level. There was no statistically significant relationship between mindfulness levels and insight and frequency of episodes. The regression analyses revealed that treatment compliance was associated with the frequency of manic/hypomanic episodes in the last two years.
Conclusion: It has been found that BF levels present in the euthymic period have no effect on the frequency of episodes in BD patients. It has been determined that treatment compliance levels are high in BD patients with high MAA levels and that MAA has an increasing effect on treatment compliance. MAA increases treatment compliance, and the frequency of manic / hypomanic attacks decreases in patients with high treatment compliance.

Remisyonda olan bipolar bozukluk tip I olgularında bilinçli farkındalık ve atak sıklığı ilişkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada ötimik bipolar bozukluk (BB) tip I hastalarda var olan bilinçli farkındalık (BF) düzeylerinin atak sıklıkları, tedavi uyumları ve iç görü düzeyleri ile ilişkilerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya düzenli kontrole gelen 97 ötimik BB tip 1 hasta alınmıştır. Katılımcılara Sosyodemografi Veri Formu, Bilinçli Farkındalık Ölçeği (BFÖ), Morisky İlaç Uyum Ölçeği (MUÖ), İç görü Değerlendirme Ölçeği (İDÖ) uygulanmıştır.
Bulgular: Tedavi uyumu yüksek ve orta düzeyde olan hastalarda, düşük düzeyde olanlara göre BF düzeyleri yüksek bulunmuştur. BF düzeyi ile iç görü düzeyi ve atak sıklıkları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki bulunmamıştır. Regresyon analizlerinde ise hastalarda tedaviye uyum düzeylerinin son iki yıldaki manik/hipomanik atak sıklığı ile anlamlı ilişkisinin olduğu belirlenmiştir.
Sonuç: BB hastalarında ötimik dönemde var olan BF düzeylerinin atak sıklığı üzerinde etkisinin olmadığı bulunmuştur. BF düzeyleri yüksek olan BB hastalarında tedavi uyum düzeylerinin yüksek olduğu ve BF’nin tedaviye uyumu artırıcı bir etkisinin olduğu belirlenmiştir. BF tedavi uyumunu artırmakta, tedavi uyumu yüksek hastalarda ise manik/hipomanik atak sıklığı azalmaktadır..
