Evaluation of sexually abused adolescents cases by the repertory grid technique: a cross-sectional study

Abstract

Purpose: In this study, we aim to explore how the adolescent girls who have experienced sexual abuse (SA) perceives themselves, their families and their surroundings, using repertory grid technique (RGT) within the scope of personal construct theory (PCT).

Materials and Methods: 30 adolescent girls with SA and 25 adolescent girls with no SA were included in the study. RGT was used to assess how the adolescents perceive themselves, their families and their surroundings and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) was used to measure self-esteem. Individual and familial characteristics of the participants were evaluated with a sociodemographic data form developed by the researchers.

Results: Based on RGT, it was found that adolescents who had experienced SA perceived themselves as more different and distant from their mothers, their siblings and their close female friends compared with those with no SA. However, they perceived themselves as more similar to their friends that they think who have negative properties. In addition, it was determined that the sexually abused girls had excessive cognitive complexity and higher “self-ideal self” discrepancy than those of nonabused controls. Sexually abused adolescents had lower self-esteem on the RSES scores.

Conclusion: SA negatively affects self-perception and perception of the surrounding and it damages self-confidence and the confidence towards the world, thus sexually abused adolescents should be followed up for these problems.

Cinsel istismara uğrayan ergen olguların repertuar grid tekniği ile değerlendirilmesi: kesitsel bir çalışma

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmada cinsel istismar (Cİ) mağduru kız ergenlerin kendisini, ailesini ve çevresini algılayışlarının kişisel yapı kuramı (KYK) çerçevesinde repertuar grid tekniği (RGT) ile incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Cİ mağduru 30 kız ergen ve Cİ öyküsü olmayan 25 kız ergen dahil edilmiştir. Ergenlerin kendisini, ailesini ve çevresini algılayışlarını değerlendirmek için RGT, benlik saygısı ölçümü için Rosenberg Benlik Saygısı Ölçeği (RBSÖ) kullanılmıştır. Katılımcıların bireysel ve ailesel özellikleri sosyodemografik veri formu ile değerlendirilmiştir.

Bulgular: RGT’de Cİ mağdurlarının Cİ öyküsü olmayanlara göre anne, kardeş ve yakın kız arkadaşlarını kendilerinden daha farklı ve uzak algıladıkları, olumsuz nitelikler yükledikleri arkadaşlarına kendilerini daha özdeş hissettikleri, aşırı bilişsel karmaşıklıklarının olduğu ve ‘‘ben-ideal ben’’ uzaklığının daha fazla olduğu bulunmuştur. Ek olarak Cİ mağdurlarında benlik saygılarının daha düşük olduğu saptanmıştır.

Sonuç: Bulgularımız Cİ’nin hem kendilik algısını hem de çevreyi algılamayı olumsuz etkilediğini, kişinin kendine ve tüm dünyaya karşı güveninin sarsıldığını göstermekte, dolayısıyla istismara maruz kalmış ergenlerin bu sorunlar açısından takip edilmeleri gerektiğine işaret etmektedir.
