Anadolu’da Bir Şehir; Çorum’da Acil Servisde Aile İçi Şiddetin Ortaya Konması

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmayla acil servise aile içi şiddetle (AİŞ) başvuran kadınların maruz kaldıkları şiddet düzeyi ve boyutunun ortaya konması amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: AİŞ gördüğünü bildiren ve acil servislere başvuran 176 olgunun, Şiddetin Ciddiyetini Değerlendirme Skalası (ŞCDS) yapıldı.
Bulgular׃ AİŞ’e uğrayan kadınların ŞCDS göre kadınların %3,4'ü ŞCDS-1, %30,1’i ŞCDS-2, %64,2'si ŞCDS-3 idi. Acil başvurularının %67’sinin sadece fiziksel şiddet içerikli olduğu saptandı. Olguların eğitim ve medeni durumu ile şiddetin seviyesi değişmekte ve ayrıca şiddetin türü, şiddeti uygulayan kişi ve başvuru şekli de şiddeti etkilemektedir(p<0.05).
Sonuç: Şiddet skalasına göre acil servise en sık tokat, itme, yumruk, yaralanma şeklinde, ikinci ve üçüncü düzeyde başvurular gerçekleşmektedir. Bu düzeydeki yaralanmaların daha üst seviyelere ilerlememesi ve mortal seyretmemesi için erken dönemde alınabilecek önlem ve sıkı takiple yaralanmalar azaltılabilir.
