Objectives: To assess validity and reliability of Turkish oral hygiene-related self-efficacy (OHSE) scale, and the scores of general self-efficacy (GSE) and OHSE in the patients with gingivitis and chronic periodontitis (CP). Additionally, the effect of motivation and oral hygiene instructions on the OHSE scores and plaque index (PI) was also aimed.
Materials And Methods: GSE and OHSE scores were obtained from 210 patients with gingivitis and CP (Group A). After determination of "cut-off" values on OHSE scores, patients with OHSE scores <30 (OHSE-low) and ≥50 (OHSE-high) were included in Group B (gingivitis, N = 25; CP, N = 27). PI values were determined, and motivation and oral hygiene instructions were performed in Group B at baseline. PI measurements and OHSE questionnaire were repeated at 1 and 3 months.
Results: The intraclass reliability coefficient and Cronbach's alpha for Turkish translation of OHSE scale were 0.920 and 0.911. OHSE scores significantly correlated with GSE scores and smokers had lower OHSE scores than those of non-smokers in patients (n = 210). In both gingivitis and CP groups, OHSE scores increased and PI values decreased at 3 months. PI values were lower in gingivitis and CP groups with OHSE-high scores compared to patients with OHSE-low scores at 3 months.
Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, it seems that Turkish version of OHSE questionnaire is reliable and valid. Patients with OHSE-low scores in both gingivitis and CP groups were less successful in performing daily plaque control, compared to patients with OHSE-high scores.

GPT-4 shows potential for identifying social anxiety from clinical interview data.
Sci Rep
December 2024
Clinical Psychology Department, PFH University of Applied Sciences, Göttingen, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- AI, especially Natural Language Processing (NLP) models, are often studied for detecting depression symptoms, but there's limited research on their use for identifying social anxiety symptoms.
- This study assessed GPT-4's ability to evaluate transcripts from interviews to infer social anxiety symptom strength in 51 adults from Germany, who completed a self-report questionnaire.
- The results showed a strong correlation (r = 0.79) between GPT-4's predictions and the self-report scores, achieving an accuracy score of 0.84, indicating potential for further research with larger, diverse groups.

Purpose: Self-efficacy is an important factor in the management of chronic oral diseases. This study aimed to develop a Korean version of a self-efficacy tool related to personal oral hygiene management, and verify its validity and reliability.
Methods: This study evaluated the validity and reliability of a Korean version of the oral health-related self-efficacy measurement tool (OHSE-K).
Empirical convergence between Kernberg's model of personality organization and the alternative DSM-5 model for personality disorders.

Department of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy, Psychologische Hochschule Berlin, Berlin, Germany.
Both Kernberg's model of personality organization and the alternative model for personality disorders (AMPD) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5th edition provide a multidimensional framework for assessing personality pathology, while having a dual focus on general and specific personality pathology. The present study was the first to investigate the empirical convergence between measures of personality organization and the AMPD (personality functioning and pathological personality traits), considering general and specific personality pathology. A mixed clinical sample completed self-reports for personality organization, personality functioning and pathological personality traits, as well as an interview for personality organization.

Department of Psychology, PFH Göttingen, Göttingen, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- This study explored how fear of cluster headache attacks affects disability related to pain, using the "fear avoidance model" (FAM) as its theoretical basis.
- A survey of 640 patients found that both fear of attacks and the frequency of attacks significantly predicted pain-related disability, with fear being a more influential factor than attack frequency.
- The research highlights the importance of psychological factors in managing cluster headache disabilities and suggests that focusing on fear in treatment could lead to better interventions.
Oral-hygiene-related self-efficacy in periodontal therapy: A 4-year longitudinal study.
J Clin Periodontol
October 2024
Policlinic of Operative Dentistry, Periodontology, and Pediatric Dentistry, Medical Faculty Carl Gustav Carus, Technische Universität Dresden, Dresden, Germany.
Aim: Oral hygiene-related self-efficacy (OHSE) describes one's confidence to successfully execute oral hygiene behaviour. The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term course of OHSE in patients during initial periodontal therapy (IPT) and supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) and its association with clinical parameters.
Materials And Methods: Patients diagnosed with periodontitis, undergoing either IPT or SPT, were evaluated at two timepoints.
