Abstract

Akıl hastalığı veya zayıflığını da içeren çeşitli durumlar nedeniyle toplum için tehlike oluşturan erişkinler Türk Medeni Kanunu’nun 432’nci maddesi kapsamında tedavi ve eğitimlerinin sağlanması amacıyla uygun kurumlara yerleştirilebilirler. Bu çalışmada Elazığ Ruh Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Hastanesi’ne 2021 ve 2022 yıllarında Türk Medeni Kanunu’nun 432’nci maddesi kapsamında yatırılan olgular incelenmiştir. 2022 yılında olgu sayısı 2021 yılına göre %59.39 artmıştır. Olguların büyük çoğunluğunun Elazığ dışında ikamet ettiği saptanmıştır (%89.80). En sık saptanan tanılar sırasıyla alkol/madde kullanım bozuklukları, şizofreni spectrum bozuklukları ve bipolar spectrum bozukluklarıdır. Bipolar ve şizofreni spectrum bozukluğu kadınlarda daha sık iken alkol/madde kullanım bozukluğu erkeklerde daha sık saptanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın bulgularının ilerleyen çalışmalarla desteklenmesi önerilmektedir.

Abstract

Adults who pose a danger to society due to various conditions including mental disorder or weakness may be placed in appropriate institutions for the purpose of providing their treatment and education within the scope of Article 432 of the Turkish Civil Code. In this study, cases hospitalized in Elazığ Mental Health and Diseases Hospital within the scope of Article 432 of the Turkish Civil Code in 2021 and 2022 were examined. The number of cases increased by 59.39% in 2022 compared to 2021. It was determined that the majority of the cases resided outside Elazığ (89.80%). The most frequently detected diagnoses are alcohol/substance use disorders, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and bipolar spectrum disorders, respectively. Bipolar and schizophrenia spectrum disorders were more common in females, while alcohol/substance use disorders were more common in males. It is suggested that the findings of this study be supported by further studies.
