Abstract

Traumatic experiences are shocking events that dramatically threaten the individual and communal mental health. It is known that many people experience at least one of these events or situations throughout their life. The primary purpose of this research is to investigate behaviours of university students experienced trauma toward seeking psychological help by associating with coping behaviours and perceived social support. This study was structured in accordance with the sequential explanatory design of mixed-methods. The sample consisted of 700 university students in quantitative part and 10 university students in qualitative part. Research results demonstrated that the frequency of being exposed to or witnessing traumatic events among university students was high. Having traumatic experiences was found significantly associated with perceived social support. It was observed that perceived social support for the students without any trauma experience were higher. There was no significant difference between students who experienced or witnessed a traumatic incident and those who did not experience trauma in terms of the attitudes toward seeking psychological help. In the research, it was confirmed that trauma sufferers appeal to seek and accept emotional social support while individuals not having such experiences significantly have more coping attitudes toward humour and seeking instrumental support. Other coping attitudes were not associated with experiencing trauma.

Üniversite Öğrencileri Arasında Gözlenen Travmatik Yaşantılar ile Sosyal Destek, Yardım Arama ve Başa Çıkma Tutumlar› Arasındaki İlişkiler

Abstract

Travmatik yaşantılar, birey ve toplum ruh sağlığını önemli ölçüde tehdit eden sarsıcı olaylardır. Birçok insanın yaşamı boyunca bu olaylardan en az biriyle karşılaştığı bilinmektedir. Bu araştırmanın temel amacı; travma yaşantısına sahip üniversite öğrencilerinin psikolojik yardım arama davranışlarını, başa çıkma tutumları ve algılanan sosyal destek ile ilişkilendirerek incelemektir. Araştırmanın örneklemi; nicel kısımda 700, nitel kısımda 10 üniversite öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Araştırma sonuçları, üniversite öğrencilerinin travmatik olaylara maruz kalma ya da şahit olma sıklığının yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. Travmatik yaşantılara sahip olma durumu, algılanan sosyal destek ile anlamlı düzeyde ilişkili bulunmuş ve travmatik yaşantılara sahip olmayanların algıladıkları sosyal desteğin daha yüksek olduğu gözlenmiştir. Diğer bireylerle kıyaslandığında travmatik olaylara maruz kalan ya da şahit olan bireylerin psikolojik yardım arama tutumları arasında anlamlı bir farklılığa rastlanmamıştır. Araştırmada; travma mağdurlarının duygusal-sosyal destek arama ve kabul etme; böyle bir deneyime sahip olmayanların ise mizah ve araçsal sosyal destek arama ve başa çıkma tutumlarını anlamlı düzeyde daha sık kullandıkları saptanmıştır. Diğer başa çıkma tutumları, travmatik yaşantı ile ilişkili bulunmamıştır.
