Üniversite Öğrencilerinde Psikolojik Danışma Sürecini Erken Bırakma: Nedenler ve Öneriler

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı üniversite psikolojik danışma ve rehberlik merkezine başvuran üniversite öğrencilerinin psikolojik danışma sürecini erken bırakma oranını, erken bırakan danışanların devam ettikleri oturum sayılarını ve erken bırakma nedenlerini belirlemektir. Çalışma kapsamında Anadolu Üniversitesi psikolojik danışma ve rehberlik merkezine başvuran ve danışma sürecini erken bırakan 206 üniversite öğrencisine ilişkin veriler analiz edilmiş ve bu danışanlardan 48’ine “Erken Bırakma Nedenleri Anketi” uygulanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda en sık ifade edilen erken bırakma nedeninin ‘Artık yardım almak istememem”, en az ifade edilen erken bırakma nedeninin ise ‘Bir oturumu istemeden kaçırdığım için diğer oturuma gelmek istememem’ şeklinde olduğu gözlenmiştir. Psikolojik yardım sürecini erken bırakmanın; danışandan, psikolojik danışmandan ve süreç dışı problemlerden kaynaklandığı gözlenmiştir. Bulgular ilgili alan yazın eşliğinde tartışılmış, ileride gerçekleştirilecek çalışmalar ve erken bırakma oranlarının azaltılabilmesi için önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

Dropping Out of Counseling Process Among College Students: Reasons and Recommendations

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine dropping out rates of the counseling, the number of sessions that premature terminators complete and drop out reasons. In this scope, data was gathered from 206 clients who terminated counseling process prematurely while they were attending to Counseling and Guidance Center of Anadolu University. Also, 48 of 206 clients filled in “Drop out Reasons Questionnaire”. Findings of research revealed that the most popular reason that was stated by clients for dropping out of counseling process is “I have no enough time for counseling” and the least popular one was “because of missing a session thus I didn’t attend the next session”. It was observed that dropping out of counseling process is derived from reasons about client, counselor and the reasons related to out of process. Findings were being discussed in company with literature and some suggestions were made to decrease drop out rates.
