Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study was to examine the level of lucidity and its relation with metacognitive beliefs and dream anxiety in medical students. Methods: Nine hundred sixteen medical students were enrolled in the study. The participants were assessed with the Lucidity and Consciousness in Dreams Scale (LuCiD), the Metacognition Questionnaire-30 (MCQ-30), and the Van Dream Anxiety Scale (VDAS). Results: There was no significant difference in mean total lucidity score between females and males, but there were some significant sex differences in subscales of lucidity, and control was significantly higher in male students, while realism, thought, and dissociation were significantly higher in female students. In addition, females had more dream anxiety levels, higher total MCQ-30 scores, and higher cognitive confidence and uncontrollability scores according to Metacognition Questionnaire-30 than males. We also found that the mean lucidity level was positively correlated with the mean total metacognition score and the mean total dream anxiety level. Discussion: Our results suggest that female medical students tend to have more realistic dreams (p=0.018), have more logical thoughts during dreaming (p=0.011), and have a more dissociative experience during dreaming (p=0.028), while male medical students have more controlled dream events (p=0.002). There seem to be differences according to lucidity features between sexes, and the relationship between subdomains of lucidity and metacognition might lead to new therapeutic approaches to several psychiatric disorders such as anxiety disorders.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı tıp öğrencilerinde lusidite, üstbiliş ve rüya bunaltısı seviyelerini ve bunlar arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktır. Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya 916 tıp öğrencisi alınmıştır. Katılımcılar lusidite ve rüyalarda bilinçlilik ölçeği, Üstbiliş Anketi-30 ve Van Rüya Bunaltısı Ölçeği ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Ortalama lusidite puanı erkek ve kadın cinsiyet arasında anlamlı fark göstermezken, lusiditenin bazı alt ölçeklerinde cinsiyet farklılı- ğını ortaya koyduk: gerçekçilik, düşünce ve çözülme kadın öğrencilerde daha fazlayken kontrol erkeklerde daha fazlaydı. Ek olarak, kadınlar daha yüksek rüya bunaltısı, Üstbiliş Anketi-30 toplam puanı, Üstbiliş Anketi-30'a göre bilişsel güven ve kontrol edilemezlik puanlarına sahipti. Ayrıca ortalama lusidite seviyesi ile ortalama toplam üstbiliş ve ortalama rüya bunaltısı seviyeleri arasında korelasyon bulduk. Sonuç: Kadın tıp öğrencilerinin daha gerçekçi rüya görme (p=0,018), rüya sırasında daha mantıksal düşünceye sahip olma (p=0,011), rüya sırasında daha fazla disosiyatif deneyim yaşama (p=0,028) eğiliminde olduğu, erkek tıp öğrencilerinin rüya olaylarını daha kontrol etme (p=0,002) eğiliminde olduğu söylenebilir. Lusidite özellikleri açısından cinsiyetler arasında fark var gibi gözükmektedir ve lusiditenin altbölümleri ile üstbiliş arasındaki ilişki bunaltı bozuklukları gibi birçok psikiyatrik bozukluğa yönelik yeni sağaltım girişimlerine öncülük edebilir.
