    (2003) Yılmaz Erdal; Batislam Ertan; Tuğlu Devrim; Başar Murad M.; Boratav C.; Başar H.
    Introduction: To clarify the negative effect of anxiety on pain intensity in patients, who underwent Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL). Patients and Method: ASA physical status I and II 71 patient with the age ranging 10 to 64 were included the study. Patients divided into two groups randomly. Detailed information about ESWL session was given to the patients in Group I and patients in Group II did not receive any descriptive information. All procedures were performed by a third generation electrohydraulic Stone Litho3pter (PCK™). Intravenous fentanyl 1?gr/kg was administered 2 minutes before the procedure for analgesic purposes. Pains intensity was evaluated by 0-100 mm Visuel Analog Scala (VAS) at the first minute and every 10 minutes of the treatment. Conditional and continual anxiety were assessed by State/Trait Anxiety Inventory-Trait Anxiety (STAI-TA), and State/Trait Anxiety Inventory-State Anxiety (STAI-SA). Results: There was no correlation between STAI-SA and pain intensity. However, patients with higher STAI-TA scores needed higher doses of supplement analgesics because of higher pain intensity. Patients, who had received information, had lower scores of STAI-TA and pain intensity. Young female patients between 20-29 years old had the highest anxiety with high pain intensity. Conclusion: ESWL is an anxiety promoting procedure. The more intense pain and anxiety negatively effected the overall patient satisfaction. Detailed information of patients about the procedure and the knowledge of pain intensity has been higher in young female patients may be advantageous for patients and care givers.

    (2007) Taymur I.; Erberk-Özen N.; Boratav C.; Güliter S.
    Objective: It is well documented that there is a strong relationship with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and stress. Indeed IBS is a psychosomatic disease of gastrointestinal system. In this study it is aimed to determine the anxiety and alexithymia levels and their association with temperament, and personality in both patient and healthy control groups. Method: Thirty-four patients with IBS according to Roma II Diagnostic Criteria and 32 healthy volunteers were included in the study. Patients with IBS and the healthy subjects were evaluated by DSM-IV diagnostic criteria, Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), State and Trait Anxiety Inventory-II (STAI-II) and Toronto Alexithymia Scale-26 (TAS-26) have been applied. Results: Mean age of patients with IBS was 36.41±8.5 and average period of the illness was 6.65±5.8 years. 76.5% of IBS patients had at least one DSM-IV diagnoses. In IBS patient group, mean STAI-II score were significantly higher than the control group (p=0.001 and p=0.007, respectively). Among TCI subscales harm avoidance (HA) and self-transcendence (ST) mean score were significantly higher in IBS patient group than healthy controls (p=0.023 and p=0.039, respectively). The result of backward condition logistic regression analysis of total HA and total ST points in the sixth step were found to be a significant predictors of IBS's existence (in the sixth step it was found that 2 log likelihood: 80.615 and R 2=0.181). Conclusion: With respect to these psychiatric disorders or temperamental and characteristic properties they can have a role in occurrence and exacerbation of IBS.
