KADINLARDA MAHKÛMİYETİN ÇOCUKLARI ÜZERİNDEKİ PSİKOSOSYAL ETKİLERİ

Öz

Bu derleme çalışması, hükümlü annelerin çocuklarıyla ilişkilerinde karşılaştıkları zorlukları ve cezaevi koşullarının aile bağları ile çocukların duygusal ve bilişsel gelişimi üzerindeki etkilerini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, ulusal ve uluslararası literatür taranarak konuyla ilgili güncel akademik çalışmalar analiz edilmiştir. Literatür incelemesi sonucunda, cezaevlerinde sınırlı etkileşim olanaklarının, ebeveynlik stresi ve çocuk bakımıyla ilgili sorunların, anne-çocuk ilişkisini olumsuz etkilediği ve bu durumun çocukların duygusal ve davranışsal sorunlarını artırdığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca, görüşme süreçlerinde yaşanan ayrılık kaygısının çocuklarda psikolojik travmaya neden olabileceği belirtilmektedir. En önemli bulgulardan biri, cezaevi içinde sunulan eğitim ve rehabilitasyon programlarının aile bağlarını güçlendirmede ve çocukların psikososyal sağlığını desteklemede kritik bir rol oynadığıdır. Bu bağlamda, cezaevi sonrası sosyal destek sistemlerinin güçlendirilmesi ve hükümlü annelere yönelik bütüncül rehabilitasyon programlarının yaygınlaştırılması temel öneriler arasında yer almaktadır. Derleme, cezaevi reformlarının ve aile temelli destek politikalarının hem bireysel hem de toplumsal düzeyde olumlu sonuçlar doğuracağını ortaya koymaktadır.

The Psychosocial Effects of Maternal Imprisonment on Children

Öz

This review study aims to examine the challenges faced by incarcerated mothers in their relationships with their children and the impact of prison conditions on family bonds as well as the emotional and cognitive development of children. To this end, national and international literature was reviewed, and recent academic studies related to the topic were analyzed. The review revealed that limited interaction opportunities in prisons, parenting stress, and childcare-related problems negatively affect the mother-child relationship and increase emotional and behavioral problems in children. It is also noted that separation anxiety experienced during visitation processes may lead to psychological trauma in children. One of the most significant findings is that educational and rehabilitation programs provided within prisons play a critical role in strengthening family ties and supporting the psychosocial well-being of children. Accordingly, reinforcing post-incarceration social support systems and expanding comprehensive rehabilitation programs for incarcerated mothers are among the primary recommendations. This review highlights that prison reforms and family-oriented support policies can yield positive outcomes at both individual and societal levels.
