Dream Anxiety Is an Emotional Trigger for Acute Myocardial Infarction
(2011) Selvi, Y.; Aydin, A.; Gumrukcuoglu, H.A.; Gulec, M.; Besiroglu, L.; Ozdemir, P.G.; Kilic, S.
Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between nightmares and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) occurring during sleep, and also to evaluate the influence of several related factors. Method: The sample comprised AMI patients who had been admitted to the coronary care unit. The patients were grouped into two categories; the asleep-AMI group consisted of 36 patients who had the onset of symptoms of AMI during sleep, and the awake-AMI group included 183 patients who had AMI while they were awake. The sleep quality and dream anxiety for the 1-month interval before AMI were assessed with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Van Dream Anxiety Scale (VDAS), respectively. Results: Asleep-AMI patients reported significantly poorer subjective sleep quality, significantly higher global PSQI scores, and displayed significantly higher nightmare frequency, difficulty in falling asleep after a nightmare, higher autonomic hyperactivity, dream recall frequency, daytime anxiety, psychological problems, and higher global dream anxiety scores than awake-AMI patients. Conclusion: The present study suggests that sleep anxiety and related emotions are associated with AMI during sleep. © 2011 The Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine.

The Stanford Hypnotic Clinical Scale for Adults (Shcs): Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version
(2007) Agargun, M.Y.; Gulec, M.; Ozturk, R.; Cimen, D.
The purpose of this study was to provide validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Stanford Hypnotic Clinical Scale for adults (SHCS). The Turkish version of the scale was administered to the 65 healthy participants (31 men, 34 women) meeting inclusion criteria twice in different times by two different clinicians. Cronbach's alpha was 0.66 for internal consistency. Points of the items (0.35-0.64) were found significantly and positively correlated with the total point. There was not a significant change in two different application times. The correlation coefficient was found 0.97 among the total points. Kappa value was found 0.93. The correlation between item and total points of the SCHS and up-gaze subscale of the hypnotic induction profile (HIP) was examined by using Pearson correlation analysis. The correlation coefficients were between 0.30 and 0.62. We found the scale valid and reliable at the end of our investigation. The scale is adequate to distinguish "highly hypnotisable" and "low hypnotisable" individuals. We think that it can be used in the hypnosis studies. We hope that it will illuminate studies particularly investigating trauma-dissociation relationship. We predict that the scale will has determinative importance for the hypnotherapy option in trauma patients.
Turkish Version of Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (Meq)
(2007) Agargun, M.Y.; Cilli, A.S.; Boysan, M.; Selvi, Y.; Gulec, M.; Kara, H.
The purpose of this study was to provide validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Morningness-Eeveningness Questionnaire (MEQ). The Turkish version of the scale was administered to the 171 healthy participants (87 men and 84 women) twice in different times. The internal consistency of the each question and total scores of the scale was examined by carrying out Cronbach's alpha statistic and Pearson correlation analysis. The test-retest reliability of the total MEQ scores was researched by applying dependent sample t-test and Pearson correlation analysis in two different application times. The reliability was satisfactory (Cronbach's alpha=0.81). Points of the questions were found significantly and positively correlated with the total point. There is not a significant change in two different application times. Internal consistency of the Turkish version was found high in the present study. The scale is adequate to distinguish "morning" and "evening" types in Turkish population.
