    A psychometric study in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: Pain Catastrophizing Scale-Child (PCS-C)- Turkish
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Cankaya, Oezge; Akin, Esra; Kabul, Elif Gur; Tatar, Zuelal; Kilbas, Guelsah; Saracoglu, Ismail; Calik, Bilge Basakci
    The research aimed to determine the psychometric properties of the Turkish Pain Catastrophizing Scale-Child (PCS-CTr) in children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). The study included 125 children (75 with JIA and 50 without JIA). PCS-CTr has been adapted following international translation steps. PCS-CTr was administered twice to 31 children with JIA at 7-14-day intervals. Validity was tested by confirmatory factor analysis and gold standard measures with the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory and the Visual Analogue Scale. Cronbach's alpha (alpha) for internal consistency and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) for test-retest reliability were used. Also, the PCS-CTr scores were compared to each group. Construct (RMSEA = 0.069, CFI = 0.962, TLI = 0.943, X2/df = 1.352) and concurrent validity (r=-0.533) were found good. The final model fits three factors with 13 items. Cronbach's alpha (0.706-0.912) and ICC values (0.649-0.900) were moderate to high. The psychometric quality of the PCS-CTr is good. A reliable and valid assessment tool could be used for children with JIA to assess pain catastrophizing. We recommend the PCS-CTr as a tool for assessing JIA children's pain catastrophizing.

    An examination of the anxiety states of Turkish health care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study
    (Assoc Medica Brasileira, 2022) Ceylan, Ali; Zirek, Emrah; Akturk, Sibel Ocak; Calik, Bilge Basakci
    OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the anxiety experienced by health care workers in different branches during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: The cross-sectional study included 373 health care workers. Data were collected using an online questionnaire consisting of the Sociodemographic Form (32 items related to the working conditions of health care professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic) and the Penn RESULTS: The anxiety levels of the female workers were significantly higher (p<0.001). The total Penn State Concern Questionnaire points were determined to be statistically significantly higher in those who need to protect the family during the pandemic (p=0.03), who were dissatisfied with their profession (p<0.001), and those whose workload had increased during the pandemic (p=0.007). CONCLUSIONS: The study results demonstrated that the levels of anxiety of health care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic could be increased by young age, low level of experience, female gender, increased workload, and dissatisfaction with the profession.

    How do gene mutation diversity and disease severity scoring affect physical capacity and quality of life in children/adolescents with Familial Mediterranean Fever?
    (Elsevier Espana Slu, 2024) Kabul, Elif Gur; Bali, Merve; Calik, Bilge Basakci; Tekin, Zahide Ekici; Yener, Gulcin Otar; Yuksel, Selcuk
    Objectives: The aim of this study is to examine how gene mutation diversity and disease severity affect physical capacity and quality of life in children/adolescents with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). Methods: Eighty children/adolescents (42 female, 38 male) diagnosed with FMF according to TellHashomer diagnostic criteria were included in this study. Disease severity score (PRAS), running speed and agility and strength subtests of Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency Second Edition Short Form (BOT-2 SF), Physical Activity Questionnaire, Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 3.0 Arthritis Module (PedsQL) was used for evaluation. Participants were divided into 2 groups as M694V and other mutations according to MEFV gene mutation and were divided into 3 groups as mild, moderate and severe according to PRAS. Results: When the data were compared between groups; in terms of gene mutation, a significant difference was observed in treatment subtest of PedsQL-parent form in favor of the M694V gene mutation group (p < 0.05). In terms of PRAS, significant difference was seen in the pain, treatment subtests and total score of the PedsQL-child form, and in the pain, treatment, worry subtests and total score of the PedsQL-parent form in favor of the mild group (p < 0.05). Conclusions: MEFV gene mutations in children and adolescents with FMF did not differ on physical capacity and quality of life. PRAS was not effective on physical parameters, but quality of life decreased as the severity score increased. Encouraging children/adolescents with FMF to participate in physical activity and to support them psychosocially can be important to improve their quality of life.

    Investigation of Physical Fitness in Children and Adolescents with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: A Case-Control Study
    (Aves, 2024) Bozcuk, Sinem; Calik, Bilge Basakci; Kabul, Elif Gur; Tekin, Zahide Ekici; Yuksel, Selcuk
    Objective: Swelling, effusion, tenderness, and pain seen in the joints of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). This disease may cause limitation in joint movements, muscle weakness, atrophy, balance, and gait disorders. Physical fitness is accepted as an important determinant of health in both childhood and adolescence. The aim was to evaluate the physical fitness of children/ adolescents with JIA and compare it with healthy peers. Materials and Methods: Seventy children/adolescents were included (35 JIA and 35 healthy). The Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ) and the Brockport physical fitness test battery were used for evaluation. The Brockport physical fitness test battery consists of dominant handgrip strength, curl-up, push-up, trunk lift, shoulder stretch, sit and reach tests, skinfold thickness (calf /triceps/subscapular) measurements, and PACER 20 m test. Results: A significant difference was found in all sub-parameters of CHAQ (P < .05) and dominant hand grip strength (P = .037), curl-up test (P < .001), trunk lift test (P = .018), shoulder stretch (P < .001) and PACER 20 m test (P < .001) tests in favor of the healthy group. Conclusion: Children/adolescents with JIA demonstrated lower performance compared to their healthy peers in muscular and cardiovascular capacity tests (curl-up test, PACER 20 m test, trunk lift test, dominant hand grip strength test, and shoulder stretch test). Their functional abilities are more impaired, and they experience higher levels of pain and lower levels of general well-being compared to healthy peers.

    The validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Fear of Pain Questionnaire for Children-Short Form (FOPQC-SF) in children and adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis
    (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2025) Kabul, Elif Gur; Tatar, Zulal; Cankaya, Ozge; Akin, Esra; Kilbas, Gulsah; Calik, Bilge Basakci; Saracoglu, Ismail
    Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Fear of Pain Questionnaire for Children-Short Form (FOPQC-SF) in children/adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Methods: To evaluate validity of FOPQC-SF, 70 children/adolescents with JIA were included. Data were collected using Pediatric Quality Of Life Inventory 3.0. Module Arthritis (PedsQL), Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ) and Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score (JADAS).To determine the reliability of the FOPQC-SF, test-retest was performed at one-week intervals on participants who had not made any changes to their pharmacological treatment and had not received any additional treatment. Results: With factor restrictions, items of Turkish version of FOPQC-SF were found acceptable for a 2-factor structure (fear:4 items; avoidance:6 items)(RMSEA = 0.058, GFI = 0.890, X2 = 40.667 X2/df = 1.196). With no restrictions, items of Turkish version of FOPQC-SF were found to be excellent for a 3-factor structure (fear:3 items; avoidance:4 items; other:3 items) (RMSEA = 0.036, GFI = 0.909, X2 = 34.465, X2/df = 1.077).The Cronbach's alpha value of Turkish version of FOPQC-SF total was 0.865 (good). The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC2,1) was 0.865 (very high). Fear and avoidance subscales and total score of Turkish version of FOPQC-SF had low to moderate correlation with CHAQ-disability index, CHAQ-pain, CHAQ-global evaluation, JADAS, PedsQL-child total, PedsQL-parent total (r:-0.283/-0.452)(p < 0.05). Other subscale of Turkish version of FOPQC-SF had low to moderate correlation with CHAQ-disability index, CHAQ-pain, PedsQL-parent total (r:0.286/0.318) (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The Turkish version of FOPQC-SF was found to be clinically valid and reliable in children and adolescents with JIA.
