Abstract
ABSTRACT
Aim : The number of detainees and convicts in penal institutions is increasing day by day. In this population, which is known to have a higher incidence of psychopathology than the general population, issues such as assessment conditions and treatment compliance are a major problem. In this study, it is aimed to obtain data about the complaints, medical treatment and follow-up of a group of adolescents who are detained and convicted.
Materials and Method: The records of male detainees and convicts who were brought to the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Outpatient Clinic between January 2017 and April 2019 for evaluation were examined retrospectively from the hospital automation system.
Results: 149 male prisoners and convicts were included in the study. The mean age of the sample is 16.64 years (199.74 months). The total number of applications is 323 and the average number of applications per individual is 2.1. The leading complaint is insomnia. This is followed by self-injurious behaviors, anger management problems and depressive complaints. The most common diagnosis was conduct disorder, followed by depressive disorders. 64.4% of individuals are using medical treatment. Risperidone is the most commonly used medicine.
Conclusions: In our study, cross-sectional data about outpatient psychiatric outpatient follow-up of detainees and convicted adolescents who are at increased risk for psychiatric disorders compared to the normal population are presented. In this group, more comprehensive studies are needed to develop preventive and therapeutic services for the most common psychopathologies.

Bir psikiyatri biriminde takip edilen tutuklu ve hükümlü ergenlerin özelliklerinin geriye dönük kesitsel olarak incelenmesi
Abstract
ÖZET
Amaç : Ceza infaz kurumlarındaki tutuklu ve hükümlü gençlerin sayısı gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Psikopatoloji sıklığının genel topluma göre daha yüksek olduğu bilinen bu popülasyonda değerlendirme koşulları ve tedavi uyumu gibi konular önemli bir sorun oluşturmaktadır. Bu araştırmada tutuklu ve hükümlü bir grup ergenin yakınmaları, medikal tedavi ve takipleriyle ilgili veri elde edilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çocuk ve Ergen Psikiyatri polikliniğine Ocak 2017-Nisan 2019 tarihleri arasında infaz koruma memurları eşliğinde değerlendirme için getirilen erkek tutuklu ve hükümlülerin kayıtları hastane otomasyon sisteminden geriye dönük olarak incelenmiştir.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya 149 erkek tutuklu ve hükümlü dahil olmuştur. Örneklemin yaş ortalaması 16,64 yıldır (199,74 ay). Toplam başvuru sayısı 323 olup, birey başına ortalama başvuru sayısı 2,1’dir. Önde gelen başvuru yakınması uykusuzluktur. Bunu kendine zarar verici davranışlar, öfke kontrol sorunları ve depresif yakınmalar izlemektedir. En sık tespit edilen tanı davranım bozukluğu olup bunu depresif bozukluklar izlemektedir. Bireylerin %64,4’ü medikal tedavi kullanmaktadır. Risperidon en sık kullanılan ilaçtır.
Sonuç : Çalışmamızda normal popülasyona göre psikiyatrik bozukluklar açısından artmış risk altında olan tutuklu ve hükümlü ergenlerin ayaktan psikiyatri polikliniği izlemiyle ilgili kesitsel veriler sunulmuştur. Bu grupta sık rastlanabilecek psikopatolojilere yönelik koruyucu ve tedavi edici hizmetlerin geliştirilmesi açısından daha kapsamlı araştırmalara ihtiyaç bulunmaktadır.
