RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: In this study, a psychosocial support-based (PSSB) psychoeducation program was provided to pregnant adolescents for improving their mental health and providing them with knowledge and skills to make positive behavioral changes. This study aimed to determine the effect of PSSB psychoeducation on anxiety, depression and perceived social support. METHODS: This study was conducted using a pre-test-post-test randomized controlled design. The population of the study included pregnant adolescents presenting to the obstetrics and gynecology outpatient clinic of a state hospital located in eastern Turkey. The sample size, determined using power analysis, included 105 pregnant adolescents (experimental group n=50, control group n=55). The participants in the experimental group were given PSSB psychoeducation. The control group did not receive any intervention. The data were collected using an introductory characteristics form, the Beck Anxiety Inventory, the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. SPSS v24.0 was used to analyze the data, and p-values less than 0.05 were accepted as statistically significant. RESULTS: It was established that there was a significant decrease in the anxiety and depression levels and a significant increase in the perceived social support levels in the experimental group in comparison to the control group after the PSSB psychoeducation intervention (p<0.05). In the intragroup comparisons, the difference between the pre-test and post-test scores for anxiety, depression and perceived social support was statistically significant in the experimental group (p<0.05), whereas this difference was insignificant in the control group (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: The PSSB psychoeducation program reduced anxiety and depression and increased perceived social support levels of the pregnant adolescents. The PSSB psychoeducation program is a useful practical intervention for the mental health of pregnant adolescents. Thus, we recommend that psychiatric nurses take an active role in planning and implementing psychosocial interventions for pregnant adolescents and develop culture-specific interventions.

BACKGROUND: Infertility is a multidimensional problem, which negatively affects the mental health of couples, especially women. Therefore this study was conducted to determine the effect of positive psychotherapy (PPT)-based training on psychological well-being and hope level of women receiving infertility treatment. METHOD: The research was carried out in two Research Hospitals OGPH between November 2019 and December 2020 as an experimental model with pre-test-post-test control groups. Sample size for the study was determined by using the G.Power 3.1.9.2 program. The study was completed with 104 women (62 in the control group, 42 in the experimental group) receiving infertility treatment. The infertile women who were included in the study were determined by using the computer-assisted simple random sampling method. 8-session PPT-based training was provided for the women in the experimental group while no intervention was applied to the women in the control group. The trainings were carried out as individual and face-to-face training with the women in the experimental group. RESULTS: After the PPT-based training, it was determined that the psychological well-being and hope levels of the women in the experimental group increased compared to the women in the control group. CONCLUSION: In the study, it was found out that PPT-based training has a positive effect on increased psychological well-being and hope levels of infertile women.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Infertility has increased in recent years. Infertility can cause many mental problems. The place of psychoeducation based on positive psychotherapy (PPT) is important in coping with mental problems.

METHODS: This experimental study with randomized control group was completed with 64 women receiving infertility treatment. While the women in the experimental group received an 8-session PPT-based training, no intervention was applied to those in the control group. RESULTS: A statistically significant difference was observed (p= .001) between the stigma and self-efficacy levels of the experimental group after the PPT-based training. CONCLUSIONS: It was found that the PPT-based training was effective in decreasing stigma level of the women who received infertility treatment and increasing their self-efficacy level.
RESUMEN
PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of cognitive behavioral therapy-based psychoeducation provided to individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia on internalized stigma and functional remission. DESIGN AND METHODS: The study was conducted based on the quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest control group with 100 individuals, who were diagnosed with schizophrenia, in a Community Mental Health Center between September 2020 and June 2021. FINDINGS: It was determined that after the cognitive behavioral therapy-based psychoeducation, the internalized stigma level decreased and the functional remission level increased in the experimental group compared with the control group. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: In the study, it was determined that the experimental and control groups had low levels of functional remission and high levels of internalized stigma before the cognitive behavioral therapy-based psychoeducation, and the functional remission levels increased and the internalized stigma levels decreased in the experimental group compared with the control group after the cognitive behavioral therapy-based psychoeducation.

This study aimed to determine the effect of spiritual well-being on hope in immobile patients suffering from paralysis due to spinal cord injuries. The sample size of this cross-sectional study was determined to be 100 immobile patients suffering from paralysis due to spinal cord injuries via power analysis. "Descriptive Characteristics Form," "Spiritual Well-being Scale," and "Dispositional Hope Scales" were used to collect the data. It was determined that participants' spiritual well-being scores were 22.25 ± 9.62 and their hope scores were 29.53 ± 9.83. There was a weak but positive correlation between the total scores on the hope scale and the spiritual well-being scale (p = 0.001, r = 0.477). Among immobile patients suffering from paralysis due to spinal cord injury, spiritual well-being levels accounted for 22% of the variance in hope levels (p = 0.001, R2 = 0.22). This study showed that as patients' spiritual well-being levels increased, their hope levels also increased.
