Article Citation - Scopus: 1Investigating Alexithymia, Emotional Expression, Childhood Trauma, and Attachment in Self-Reported Disordered Eating Behaviour(Association for Clinical Psychology Research, 2021) Özdemir, İ.; Tükel, Ş.Eating disorders, a diagnostic group in which eating behaviour is seriously impaired, are a growing problem worldwide. Psychological factors underlying eating disorders have been investigated, yet no definite conclusions have been drawn. An important area of research is the relationship between eating disorders, early childhood experiences, and emotional expression difficulties. The purpose of this study was to examine the early childhood traumas, alexithymia, emotional expression, and attachment styles in young adults with self-reported disordered eating behaviour, in comparison with individuals with no reported disordered eating behaviour and health issues. Included in the study were 39 participants with disordered eating behaviour and 20 participants as control, between 18-35 years of age, and consisting 43 women and 16 men. Participants completed medical history and sociodemographic information form, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, Twenty-Item Toronto Alexithymia Scale, Emotional Expression Questionnaire, and Experience in Close Relationships. Results showed that physical abuse and alexithymia were significantly more prevalent in individuals with self-reported disordered eating behaviour. Attachment anxiety and avoidance scores were high in both groups, with no significant difference. There was no difference in emotional expression in positive, negative or intimacy subscores between groups. Findings suggested that clinical psychologists need to examine early childhood experiences, family dynamics, and alexithymia in detail to apply more efficient intervention approaches for young adults with disordered eating behaviour. It is also remarkable that more than half of the individuals with disordered eating behaviour have not received any psychological consultation indicating that there is a need for increasing public awareness towards eating behaviour problems. © 2021 Association of Clinical Psychology Research.

The aim of this study is to determine the contraception methods used by the individuals who applied to Family Health Centers (FHC) and to reveal the relationship between family planning methods chosen. Material and Methods: A descriptive research method was adopted for this study using the follow-up records of the FHCs. One thousand two hundred thirty-two follow-up records in total were accessed between March 2018 and December 2018, and SPSS 21.0 was used for data analysis. Results: Mean ranks provide evidence that age scores were higher for the users of tubal ligation, and this group had significantly more children than the users of combined oral contraceptives (p<0.001), condom (p<0.001) and intrauterine device (p=0.043). When all the follow-ups were evaluated, it was seen that the number of people who did not use contraceptive methods was high. Conclusion: Family planning and sexual education are associated with the availability and sustainability of resources that are crucial for healthcare. It remains important to provide Family Planning counseling to those who do not use any contraceptive method during the follow-up.
