Öz

Kumar bağımlılığı, bireylerin ruh sağlığına, kişilerarası ilişkilerine ve mesleki yaşamlarına zarar veren, olumsuz sonuçlara rağmen tekrarlayan kumar oynamalarla karakterize bir davranışsal bağımlılıktır. Kumar sadece kumar bağımlığı psikopatolojisine sebep olmayan beraberinde birçok psikopatolojiye neden olan bir toplum sağlığı sorunudur. Kumar bağımlılığı birçok ruh sağlığı problemine sebep olurken intihar düşüncesi, intihar girişimi ve tamamlanmış intihara da neden olabileceği bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, kumar bağımlılığı ve intihar arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmektir. Çalışma, kumar bağımlılığında intihar riskini anlamak ve eşlik eden komorbid bozuklukları tespit etmek açısından ruh sağlığı uzmanlarının tedavi planlamalarına ve bağımlılık önleme çalışmalarına katkı sağlayacağı düşünüldüğünden önem arz etmektedir. Çalışmada, kumar bağımlılığının güncel tanı kriterlerine yönelik açıklama sunulmuş, ayrıca kumar bağımlılığı ve intihar arasındaki ilişkiye ve eşlik eden komorbid bozukluklara yer verilerek bu amaçla Yök-Tez, PubMed, Dergipark ve Google Akademik veri tabanlarında yayınlanmış çalışmaların taranması sonucunda yazılmıştır. Çalışmada, kumar bağımlılığına ve problemli kumar davranışına sahip olan bireylerde intihar düşüncesi, intihar girişimi ve tamamlanmış intihar oranlarının yüksek olduğu ve eşlik eden komorbid bozuklukların var olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
