Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this descriptive and cross-sectional study is to identify the risk behaviors of adolescents attending high schools in Şanlıurfa. Methods: The population of this study was 44217 students in high schools in Şanlıurfa. The minimum sample size of the study according to the known population sampling formula was calculated as approximately 1000 participants. Within the scope of the stratified sampling method, the number of students going to high schools in each district was determined. A high school was chosen from each district using the simple random sampling method. The data of the study were obtained by using a “Socio-Demographic Characteristics Questionnaire” and the “Risky Behaviors Scale”. Descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney U test, and Kruskal Wallis H test were used to analyze the data. Results: The finding that the students had a high mean score of 144±22.2 on the Risky Behaviors Scale revealed that the students in the study engaged in a variety of risky behaviors. The sub-behavior in the scale with the largest mean value was alcohol consumption with the mean score of 32.7±5.0. The students at higher grades tended to show fewer risky behaviors (p<0.05). Those who had more educated fathers showed fewer anti-social behaviors (p<0.05). In this study, female students, those under the age of 15, prep-school students, and 9th graders had a higher median score for the sub-behavior of smoking. (p<0.05). Male students had a higher risk of suicide than female students. (p<0.05). The median score for smoking was higher for those who did not work outside the school (p<0.05). The level of tendencies towards risky behaviors were higher for the students who enjoyed school and attended classes in comparison to those who did not like school and skipped classes (p<0.05). Conclusion: As a result, risky behaviors were found to be common among the students, and these behaviors were found to be affected by the students’ socio-demographic characteristics. In this regard, establishing nurse-led school health initiatives is advocated.

Abstract

Amaç: Tanımlayıcı olarak yapılan bu araştırmanın amacı; Şanlıurfa’da liseye giden ergenlerin riskli davranışlarını belirlemektir. Bu araştırmanın evreni, Şanlıurfa Merkez’de liseye giden 44217 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Yöntem: Araştırmanın evreni 44217 lise öğrencisidir. Evreni bilinen örneklem formülüne göre araştırmanın minimum örneklem büyüklüğü 1000 kişidir. İlin merkez ilçelerini kapsayacak şekilde her bir ilçeden basit rastgele örneklem yöntemine göre bir lise seçilmiştir. Her sınıftan öğrenci olması amacıyla liselerden öğrenci seçimi yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri; ‘‘Sosyo-demografik Özellikler Anket Formu’’ ve ‘‘Riskli Davranışlar Ölçeği” kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde; tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Mann Whitneu U, Kruskal Wall H testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin riskli davranışları ölçekten aldıkları toplam puan ortalamasının 144±22,2 olduğu, bu puan ortalamasının yüksek olması, araştırmaya katılan ergenlerin riskli davranışların yoğunluğuna işaret etmektedir. Riskli davranışlar ölçeği alt boyutlarından en yüksek puan ortalamasına sahip 32.7±5,0 ile alkol kullanımı olarak belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin sınıf seviyesi ilerledikçe riskli davranışlarda bulunma azalmıştır (p<0,05). Baba eğitim düzeyi arttıkça anti-sosyal davranışın azaldığı tespit edilmiştir (p<0,05). Bu çalışmada sigara kullanımı alt boyut ortancası kızlarda, 15 yaş ve altı bireylerde, hazırlık ve 9.sınıf öğrencilerinde daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Erkek öğrencilerin, kız öğrencilerden daha fazla intihar eğilimi olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p<). Çalışmayan öğrencilerde sigara kullanma puan ortancasının, çalışanlarda daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Okulu seven ve okula devamsızlık yapmayanların riskli davranışlara eğilimi, okulu sevmeyen ve devamsızlık yapana oranla daha yüksek çıkmıştır (p<0,05). Sonuç: Sonuç olarak öğrencilerin riskli davranışlarının yaygın olduğu, bu davranışların öğrenci sosyo-demografik özelliklerinden etkilendiği bulunmuştur. Bu çerçevede hemşireler tarafından okul sağlığı programlarına başlanması önerilmektedir.
