Öz

Abstract Introduction: Violence is an important human problem that affects individuals at every educational level of society and has serious consequences, both individually and socially. Objective: The objectazive of the study was to determine the severity of violence against academicians, the type of violence experienced and the factors that affect violence. Material and Method: Target population of the cross-sectional study covers 2666 academicians from a state university in the Central Black Sea region, and from a private university in Istanbul, Turkey. The study that intends to reach the target population was conducted with participation from 350 academicians who agreed to take part in the study from 30.06.2019 to 30.09.2019. Data was analyzed with descriptive analysis and chi-square tests via SPSS 20.0 programme. Statistical significance level is defined as p<0.0. Results: When violence is analyzed according to gender, 69.7% of women and 66.7 % of men reported that they were exposed to violence at least once during their lifetime but there was no statistically significant difference between gender and violence. (p=0.542). It was seen that the individuals between the ages of 41-50 are exposed to violence more than expected and encounter this situation more often than people in other age groups. Conclusion: Gender was not an important factor in terms of being subjected to violence (p = 0.542), but when examined according to the type of violence they experienced, it was found that men were significantly more exposed to physical violence than women (p = 0.001).

Öz

Giriş: Şiddet toplumun her eğitim seviyesindeki bireyleri etkileyen ve hem bireysel hem de toplumsal ciddi sonuçları olan önemli bir insanlık sorunudur. Amaç: Araştırmanın amacı akademisyenlere yönelik şiddetin ciddiyetini, yaşanan şiddetin türünü ve şiddeti etkileyen faktörleri belirlemektir. Yöntem: Kesitsel olarak yapılan çalışmanın evrenini, Türkiye’nin Orta Karadeniz Bölgesinde yer alan bir devlet üniversitesi ile İstanbul’da bulunan bir özel üniversitede çalışan toplam 2666 akademisyen oluşturdu. Evrenin tamamına ulaşılması hedeflenen çalışma; 30.06.2019/30.09.2019 tarihleri arasında araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 350 akademisyen ile yürütüldü. Verilerin analizi ise SPSS 20.0 programında tanımlayıcı analizler ve ki kare testleri ile yapıldı. İstatistiksel anlamlılık düzeyi p<0.05 olarak belirlendi. Bulgular: Çalışma grubundaki kadınların %69,7’si ve erkeklerin %66,7’si yaşamları boyunca en az bir kez şiddete maruz kaldığını bildirmiş ancak cinsiyet ile şiddet arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı. (p=0.542). 41-50 yaş arasındaki bireylerin diğer yaş gruplarındaki kişilere göre beklenenden daha fazla şiddete maruz kaldıkları ve bu durumla daha sık karşılaştıkları görüldü. Sonuç: Cinsiyet, şiddete maruz kalma açısından önemli bir faktör değildi (p = 0,542), ancak yaşadıkları şiddetin türüne göre incelendiğinde erkeklerin kadınlara göre anlamlı düzeyde daha fazla fiziksel şiddete maruz kaldıkları bulundu (p = 0.001).
