Yıl 2022, Cilt: 4 Sayı: 3, 271 - 277, 27.09.2022

Öz

Kadınlarda depresyon prevelansı erkeklere göre daha yaygındır. Bu durum sadece biyolojik farklılıklar ile açıklanamamakta, kadının toplumdaki konumuna vurgu yapılarak daha fazla araştırmaya ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı tipte olan bu araştırma ile kadınlarda affetme ve toleransın depresyon ile ilişkisi incelenmiştir. Araştırma online olarak Haziran 2020’de gerçekleştirilmiş ve 414 kadın katılmıştır. Veriler Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu, Affedicilik Ölçeği, Tolerans Ölçeği ve DAS-21-Depresyon alt boyutu ile toplanmıştır. Araştırmada 45 ve üstü yaşta olanların, evlilik yılı 12 ve üstü olanların, çalışanların, ekonomik durumu orta olanların affetme; lisansüstü eğitimi olanların, bekarların, ekonomik durumu iyi olanların ve aile içi iletişimi orta olanların tolerans; 18-26 yaş grubunda, lise mezuniyeti olanların, ekonomik durumu kötü olanların, geniş aileye sahip olanların, aile iletişimi kötü olanların ve bir kriz yaşayanların depresyon puanlarının yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<.05). Affetme ve depresyon arasında zayıf düzeyde negatif yönlü, affetme ve tolerans arasında ise zayıf düzeyde pozitif yönlü ilişki varken; tolerans ve depresyon arasında önemli bir ilişki saptanmamıştır (p<.001). Araştırma sonuçlarına göre kadınların depresif duygulara yol açan olumsuz yükten kurtulmalarında affetmenin yardımcı olacağı söylenebilir.

The Relationship of Forgiveness and Tolerance with Depression in Women

Yıl 2022, Cilt: 4 Sayı: 3, 271 - 277, 27.09.2022

Öz

Depression is more prevalent in women than in men. This situation cannot be explained with only biological differences, and more research is needed in this regard by emphasizing the status of women in society. In this descriptive and relational screening type study, the relationship of forgiveness and tolerance with depression in women was examined. The study was carried out online in June 2020 with the participation of 414 women. The data were collected through Identifying Information Form, Forgiveness Scale, Tolerance Scale, and DAS-21 Depression Subscale. In the study, it was determined that forgiveness scores of the participants who were 45 years old and above, whose duration of marriage was 12 years and above, who were employed, and whose economic status was moderate were high; tolerance scores of those who had postgraduate education level, who were single, whose economic status was good, and whose intra-family communication was at a moderate level were found to be high; and depression scores of those who were between 18-26 years old, who were high school graduates, whose economic status was poor, who had extended families, whose intra-family communication was poor, and who experienced a crisis were determined to be high (p<.05). While a weak and negative relationship between forgiveness and depression, and a weak and positive relationship between forgiveness and tolerance were found, no significant relationship between tolerance and depression was determined (p<.001). As a result of the study findings, it can be stated that forgiveness could be helpful for women to be relieved from the negative load that leads to depressive emotions.
