Abstract

Objective: Theory of Mind (ToM) deficit is a widely accepted feature of schizophrenia. A number of studies have examined ToM deficits of irst degree relatives of schizophrenic patients as genetic markers of chizophrenia. Examination of mentalization capacity among mothers of schizophrenia patients may improve our understanding of theory of mind impairments in schizophrenia. The aim of this study is to use Reading Mind in the Eyes test to examine theory of mind capacity mong mothers of schizophrenic patients. Method: Performance during the test “Reading the Mind in the Eyes” (Eyes Test) was compared between the mothers of schizophrenic patients (n=47) and mothers whose children have no psychotic mental llness (n=47). Test results were analyzed based on the categorization of est items as positive, negative, and neutral. Results: Mothers of schizophrenic patients displayed poorer performance during the Eyes Test compare to mothers in the control group, particularly in the recognition of positive and neutral mental epresentations. There was no statistically significant difference in the ecognition of negative mental representations between mothers of patients and the control groups. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that mothers of chizophrenic patients differ in some theory of mind patterns. Theory of mind may be an important developmental or endophenotipic factor n the pathogenesis of schizophrenia and should be further evaluated using other biological markers.

Özet

Amaç: Şizofrenide zihin kuramı patolojilerinin varlığı araştırmacılar ta- afından yaygın olarak kabul edilmektedir. Hastaların birinci dereceden yakınları ile yürütülen çalışmalar daha çok, zihin kuramı patolojilerinin yapısal bir özellik taşıyıp taşımadığına odaklanmıştır. Şizofreni hastala- ının annelerinin zihinselleştirme kapasitelerini değerlendirmek, şizof- enide görülen zihin kuramı işlevleri kusurlarını daha iyi anlamamıza yardımcı olabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Gözlerden Zihin Okuma Testi kullanarak şizofreni hastalarının annelerinde zihin kuramı becerilerinin değerlendirilmesidir. Yöntem: Şizofreni tanısı almış hastaların anneleri (s=47) ile çocukların- dan herhangi birinde psikotik bir bozukluk olmayan annelerin (s=50) Gözlerden Zihin Okuma Testi performansları karşılaştırıldı. Test mad- deleri ayrıca, olumlu-olumsuz-nötr zihinsel temsiller olarak üç ayrı bö- ümde ileri analize tabi tutuldu. Bulgular: Şizofreni hastası annelerinin Gözler Testi performansı, kont- ol grubuna kıyasla anlamlı derecede daha düşük bulundu. Çalışma- mızda şizofreni hastalarının annelerinin, olumsuz zihinsel temsillerle lgili test maddelerini değerlendirmede kontrol grubundan farklı olma- dığı ancak nötr ve olumlu zihinsel temsilleri tanımada kontrol grubuna kıyasla daha başarısız oldukları saptandı. onuç: Araştırmamızda elde edilen bulgular, şizofreni annelerinin bazı arametrelerde farklı bir zihin kuramı işleyişine sahip olduğunu; bu du- umun zihinselleştirme kuramının gelişimsel ya da endofenotip olarak izofreni patogenezinde önemli olabileceğini ve daha farklı biyolojik be- irteçlerle sınanması gerektiğini göstermektedir.
