Amaç: Bu çalışmada üniversite öğrencilerinin benlik saygıları ile intihar olasılıkları arasındaki ilişkide öz nefretin aracı rolünü incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışma kesitsel bir çalışmadır ve yordayıcı korelasyonel yöntem kullanılarak ilişkisel bir araştırma olarak yürütülmüştür. Çalışmanın örneklemi uygun (kolay ulaşılabilir) örnekleme yöntemiyle belirlenmiş olup çalışmaya 244 kadın (%75.1), 81 erkek (%24.9) olmak üzere toplam 325 üniversite öğrencisi katılmıştır. Katılımcılar 17-51 yaş (Ort. 21.18, SS= 3.2) aralığındadır. Veri toplama araçları olarak Rosenberg Benlik Saygısı Ölçeği, Öz-Nefret Ölçeği, İntihar Olasılığı Ölçeği ve Demografik Bilgi Formu kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonunda toplanan verilerin analizinde Pearson Korelasyon analizi ve aracılık analizi (Hayes’in Model 4’ü) yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Yapılan analizler sonucunda üniversite öğrencilerinin benlik saygıları ile intihar olasılıkları arasındaki ilişkide öz nefretin aracı rolü olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç: Elde edilen sonuçlar alanyazın çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır. Ayrıca sonraki çalışmalar için ve ruh sağlığı çalışanları için önerilerde bulunulmuştur. Çalışma sonuçlarının üniversite öğrencilerinde intihar riski taşıyan bireyleri koruma ve önleme amacıyla, benlik saygısı ve öz nefret arasındaki yapının daha iyi anlaşılmasına katkı sağlayacağı öngörülmektedir.

Öz

Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the mediating role of self-hate in the relationship between university students' self-esteem and their probability of suicide. Method: The study is a cross-sectional study and was conducted with the predictive correlational method. The participants of the study consisted of a total of 325 university student, 244 women (75.1%) and 81 men (24.9%), who were determined by the convenience sampling method. Participants were aged between 17 and 51 years (M=21.18, SD=3.2). Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Self-Hate Scale, Suicide Probability Scale, and Sociodemographic Information Form were used as data collection tools in the study. Pearson Correlation analysis and mediation analysis (Hayes' Model 4) were performed in the analysis of the data collected at the end of the study. Results: The results of the analyses indicated that self-hate mediates the relationship between university students' self-esteem and probability of suicide. Conclusion: The obtained results have been discussed within the framework of the literature. Additionally, suggestions have been made for future studies and mental health practitioners. According to the study results, understanding the structure of self-esteem and self-hatred is expected to contribute to the protection and prevention of suicide among university students at risk.
