Bu araştırma, sosyal hizmet bölümü öğrencilerinin çocukluk çağı travmaları ile bölüme yönelik tutumları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Türkiye’de örgün öğretim veren sosyal hizmet programlarında öğrenim gören 486 lisans öğrencisi çalışmaya katılmıştır. Araştırma ilişkisel tarama modelinde ve kesitsel tasarım çerçevesinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, Çocukluk Çağı Ruhsal Travma Ölçeği (CTQ-33) ile Sosyal Hizmet Bölümüne Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği (SHBYTÖ) aracılığıyla toplanmış, betimleyici istatistiklerin yanı sıra grup karşılaştırmaları, korelasyon ve regresyon analizleri uygulanmıştır. Bulgular, öğrencilerin CTQ toplam puan ortalamasının 43.26±9.67 olduğunu ve en yüksek alt boyut puanının duygusal ihmalde görüldüğünü ortaya koymuştur. SHBYTÖ ortalaması 25.48±3.37 olup genel olarak bölüme ilişkin olumlu tutum sergilendiği belirlenmiştir. CTQ toplam puanı ile SHBYTÖ puanı arasında negatif yönde, zayıf ancak istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır (r = –.15, p < .01). Regresyon analizi, çocukluk çağı travma düzeylerinin tutum puanlarındaki varyansı düşük düzeyde açıkladığını göstermiştir (R² = .022). Bu bulgu, çocukluk çağı travmalarının bölüme yönelik tutumlar üzerinde sınırlı bir etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte, bölüm tercihinde travmatik bir yaşantının etkili olduğunu belirten öğrencilerin daha yüksek tutum puanlarına sahip olması, travmatik deneyimlerin mesleki yönelim ve bölüme yüklenen anlamla ilişkili olabileceğine işaret etmektedir. Elde edilen bulgular, sosyal hizmet eğitiminde travma farkındalığına duyarlı pedagojik yaklaşımların ve öz-bakım odaklı destek mekanizmalarının önemini vurgulamaktadır.

This study aims to examine the relationship between childhood trauma and undergraduate students’ attitudes toward the social work department. A total of 486 undergraduate students enrolled in formal social work programs in Türkiye participated in the study. The research was conducted using a relational survey model within a cross-sectional design. Data were collected using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ-33) and the Attitude Toward Social Work Department Scale (SHBYTÖ), and analyzed using descriptive statistics, group comparisons, correlation, and regression analyses. The findings revealed that the mean total CTQ score was 43.26±9.67, with the highest subscale score observed in emotional neglect. The mean SHBYTÖ score was 25.48±3.37, indicating a generally positive attitude toward the department. A negative, weak, but statistically significant relationship was found between CTQ and SHBYTÖ scores (r = –.15, p < .01). Regression analysis showed that childhood trauma levels explained a small proportion of the variance in attitudes toward the department (R² = .022). These findings suggest that childhood trauma has a limited effect on attitudes toward the department. However, students who reported that a traumatic experience influenced their choice of major had higher attitude scores, indicating that such experiences may be associated with professional orientation and the meaning attributed to the field. Overall, the findings underscore the importance of trauma-informed pedagogical approaches and the integration of self-care–oriented support mechanisms within social work education.
