Year 2018, Volume: 29 Issue: 2, 270 - 291, 12.10.2018

Abstract

İntihar eyleminin görülme
oranı özellikle ergenlik döneminde giderek artmaktadır. Ergenlerde intihar
düşüncesini etkileyen pek çok faktör vardır. Biyolojik yatkınlık ve psikiyatrik
bozuklukların yanı sıra sosyal çevre, potansiyel risk faktörü olarak önemli bir
rol oynamaktadır. Bu araştırmanın amacı
, Türkiye’de
ergenler arasında intihar düşüncesini etkileyen aile, okul, iş ve arkadaş ile
ilgili risk faktörlerin etkisini saptamakdır. Çalışmada Türkiye Ergen Profili Araştırması
(TEPA 2013) ele alınarak kentsel ve kırsal alanlarda yaşayan ve yüz yüze anket
uygulanan 12-18 yaş arası 6747 ergen değerlendirilmiştiır. Katılımcılar çok
aşamalı, tabakalı, rasgele örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilmiştir (%50 kız ve %50
erkek). Çalışmada Pearson ki-kare, odds oranı, uygunluk analizi, bağımsız
örneklem t-testi ve ikili lojistik regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Sigara ve
alkol kullanımı, madde bağımlılığı, şiddete ve cinsel istismara maruz kalma,
alay edilme ve aile yapısı gibi birçok farklı faktör ile intihar düşüncesinin
ilişkisi ortaya çıkarılmış ve elde edilen sonuçlar sunulmuştur.
