ERGENLERDE KENDİNE ZARAR VERME DAVRANIŞI VE BU DAVRANIŞLARIN SPOR ETKİNLİKLERİ İLE İLİŞKİSİ

Öz

Bu çalışma, gençler arasında önemli bir problem olarak görülen ve özellikle ergenlik döneminin kendine özgü özellikleri neticesinde sıklıkla başvurulan kendine zarar verme davranışını konu edinmektedir. Çalışmada sosyo-demografik özelliklerin etkisinin yanı sıra kendine zarar verme davranışı ile spor etkinliklerine katılım arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. Nicel araştırma yönteminin kullanıldığı çalışmada bireylerin sosyo-demografik özellikleri ve spora ilişkin bilgilerin olduğu soru formu ile “Kendine Zarar Verme Davranışı Değerlendirme Envanteri” uygulanmıştır. Batman ilinde yapılan uygulamaya 14-18 yaş aralığında bulunan 148 kadın, 177 erkek birey dâhil olmuştur. Aynı zamanda örneklem grubunun 163’ü spor etkinliklerine katılmakta, 162’si katılmamaktadır. Çalışmada elde edilen veriler analiz edildiğinde katılımcıların %45,5’inin kendilerine zarar veren bir davranışta bulundukları, %54,5’inin ise söz konusu davranışlardan herhangi birisine başvurmadığı ortaya konulmuştur. Yine kendine zarar veren bireylerin büyük bir kısmının (%74,3) çoklu zarar verme davranışında bulundukları görülmüştür. Sosyo-demografik bilgilere bakıldığında, katılımcıların kendine zarar verme davranışı ile cinsiyetleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamamıştır. Ancak çoklu zarar verme davranışı ile cinsiyet arasında anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Erkek katılımcıların %87,1’i, kadın katılımcıların ise %57,1’i birden fazla davranış ile kendilerine zarar verdiklerini beyan etmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında değerlendirilen diğer bir durum da gençlerin spora etkinliklerine katılımının kendine zarar verme davranışına olan etkisidir. Veriler, spor etkinliklerine katılıp katılmamanın anlamlı bir faktör olduğunu (p=0,003) ve spor etkinliklerine katılan gençlerin hem kendilerine daha fazla zarar verdiklerini hem de daha fazla çoklu zarar verme davranışına (p=0,000) sahip olduklarını göstermiştir.

SELF-INJURIOUS BEHAVIOR IN ADOLESCENTS AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH SPORTS ACTIVITIES

Öz

This study investigates self-injurious behavior, which is considered a significant problem among young people and is frequently observed during adolescence due to the unique characteristics of this developmental period. It aims to examine both the impact of socio-demographic characteristics on this behavior and the relationship between self-injurious behavior and participation in sports activities. The study employed a questionnaire comprising items on socio-demographic characteristics and sports participation, along with the “Inventory of Statements About Self-injury,” utilizing a quantitative research method. A total of 148 female and 177 male participants aged between 14 and 18 took part in the study conducted in the province of Batman. Among the sample group, 163 individuals reported participating in sports activities, while the remaining 162 did not. An analysis of the collected data revealed that 45.5% of the participants had engaged in some form of self-injurious behavior, whereas 54.5% had not exhibited any such behavior. It was also found that a large proportion (74.3%) of those who engaged in self-injurious behavior had exhibited multiple forms of such behavior. When socio-demographic variables were examined, no significant relationship was found between self-injurious behavior and gender. However, a significant difference was identified between gender and engagement in multiple forms of self-injurious behavior. It was reported that 87.1% of male participants and 57.1% of female participants had harmed themselves through more than one type of behavior. The study also aimed to evaluate the impact of adolescents’ participation in sports activities on self-injurious behavior. The results showed that participation in sports activities was a statistically significant factor (p = 0.003), and that adolescents who participated in such activities exhibited both higher rates of self-injurious behavior and a greater tendency toward multiple forms of self-injurious (p = 0.000).
