Kadına Yönelik Aile İçi Şiddetin Kadın ve Çocukların Ruh Sağlığına Etkileri

Abstract

Aile içi şiddet, bir kişinin aynı evi paylaştığı veya evli olduğu diğer kişiye karşı uyguladığı şiddet veya kötüye kullanımdır. Kadınlar ve çocukların çoğu kez fiziksel olarak güçsüz ve savunmasız olması nedeniyle en çok onlar aile içi şiddetin mağduru olmaktadır. Aslında aile içi şiddet sadece fiziksel şiddeti içermez. Kadınlar aynı zamanda evlilikte psikolojik, cinsel ve ekonomik şiddetin de mağduru olabilir. Aile içi şiddet, kadınların ruh sağlığının ve yaşam kalitesinin bozulmasına yol açar. Ayrıca şiddete maruziyet bu kadınların tıbbi hizmet kullanımını artırır ve onların çocuklarının da uzun vadede ruhsal gelişimini bozar. Aile içi şiddete tanık olan çocuklar bazı davranışsal ve emosyonel bozulmalar yaşar. Daha da ötesi bu çocuklar sonraki yaşamında şiddetin mağduru veya uygulayıcısı olurlar. Kadına karşı aile içi şiddet bu kadınlarda depresyon, anksiyete ve posttravmatik stres bozukluğu için risk faktörüdür. Bundan dolayı psikiyatri polikliniklerine bu nedenlerle yardım almak için başvuran kadınlarda aile içi şiddetin sorgulanması kritik öneme sahiptir. Bu gözden geçirme yazısında kadına karşı aile içi şiddeti, sıklığını, aile içi şiddeti etkileyen değişkenleri incelenerek, aile içi şiddetin buna maruz kalan kadın ve onların çocukları üzerindeki etkisi gözden geçirilmiştir.
