Siirt İlinde Kadın İntiharları

Öz

AMAÇ: Dünyanın pek çok ülkesinde olduğu gibi Türkiye’de de tamamlanmış erkek intiharlarının sayısının kadın intiharlarının sayısından fazla olduğu bilinmektedir. Bununla birlikte son yıllarda Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi’nde bazı illerde kadın intiharlarının erkek intiharlarından fazla olduğu görülmektedir. Söz konusu illerde kadın intiharlarına yönelik çalışmalar bulunmasına rağmen Siirt ili için konuyla ilgili araştırmaların olmadığı göze çarpmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Siirt ilinde 2000-2013 yılları arasında gerçekleşmiş kadın intiharlarına etki eden sosyodemografik etkenleri irdeleyerek kadın intiharlarının önlenmesi için yapılacak çalışmalara katkıda bulunmaktır. YÖNTEM: Araştırmada Siirt Adliyesi ve bağlı bulunan yerlerde 2000-2013 yılları arasında ölümü adli soruşturmaya konu olan kadın olguların savcılık dosyaları incelenmiştir. Bu dosyalarda tespit edilen 60 intihar olgusunun yaş, medeni durum, eğitim, meslek, olay yeri, intihar nedeni, intihar yöntemi, intiharda kullanılan araçlar, yaralanma bölgesi ve intihar zamanı verileri istatistiki olarak değerlendirilmiştir. BULGULAR: Araştırmanın bazı öne çıkan bulgularına göre olguların neredeyse yarısının 15-20 yaş diliminde olduğu ve kırsal alanda yaşadıkları görülmektedir. İntihar eden olguların büyük çoğunluğunun bekar ve ailesiyle yaşayan, işsiz kadınlar olduğu, okuryazarlık oranlarının düşük olduğu ortaya çıkmaktadır. Ası ve ateşli silahla kullanmanın en sık başvurulan intihar yöntemi olduğu saptanmıştır. SONUÇ: Siirt ilinde gerçekleşen genç kadın intiharlarının intihar eyleminin bireysel nedenleri kadar sosyal dinamiklerden de etkilendiği anlaşılmaktadır. Bu intiharların önlenmesi için kadına yönelik şiddet bağlamında toplumsal düzeyde önleme faaliyetlerinin arttırılması gerektiğine inanılmaktadır.

Öz

OBJECTIVE: It’s been known that completed male suicide rates are higher than the female suicide rates in Turkey too, like most countries of the world. On the other hand it’s seen that during last decades some districts of Southeastern Anatolia Region have higher female suicide rates than male suicide rates. Although there are researches concerning female suicides in those districts, it’s observed that there isn’t any research regarding female suicides in Siirt district. This research is aimed to examine the main sociodemographic factors that effect of this specific case of female suicides in Siirt, between the years of 2000 -2013 and to contribute the researches regarding female suicides prevention. METHODS: To achieve this, 60 legal files of these incidents which happened in mentioned years has been analyzed according to their age, marital status, educational and occupational status, crime scene, method of suicide and occurrence time of the incidents with descriptive statistical methods. RESULTS: Some significant findings of the research indicates that almost half of the all female suicides have been occurred between the ages 15 -20 and in rural part of the city. Being single and young, living with family, high illiteracy, being housewife/girl and social isolation are risk factors of suicide behavior. Considering our research results it can be said that the most commonly used methods in these cases are hanging and using firearms. CONCLUSION: It’s been observed that female suicide cases in Siirt district are effected not only individual risk factors but also social dynamics. According to results of our research it’s needed a community based suicide prevention model in the context of violence against women.
