Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the predictive role of childhood traumas on self-harming behaviours, depression, psychoform, and somatoform dissociation in female university students. This study was conducted with 314 female university students. It was evaluated that the differentiation of psychoform dissociation as an independent variable, varied based on negative or positive taxonomy in terms of dependent variables as well as the predictive effect of childhood traumas. It was found that childhood trauma predicted psychoform dissociation experienced in adulthood, and emotional abuse predicted amnestic dissociation, absorption and psychoform dissociation. The findings of the study differed from other studies, especially with clinical samples, and childhood traumas were positively correlated with psychoform dissociation and negatively associated with somatoform dissociation. The findings also emphasise the importance of certain correlations between childhood trauma and self-harming behaviours in a non-clinical sample group, such as female university students, as well as clinical samples.

Kadın Üniversite Öğrencilerinde Çocukluk Çağı Travmaları ile Kendine Zarar Verme Davranışları, Depresyon, Psikoform ve Somatoform Dissosiyasyon Arasındaki İlişkilerin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı kadın üniversite öğrencilerinde çocukluk çağı travmalarının; kendine zarar verme davranışları, depresyon, psikoform ve somatoform dissosiyasyon üzerindeki yordayıcılık rolünün incelenmesidir. Bu çalışmanın katılımcılarını 314 kadın üniversite öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Bağımsız değişken olarak psikoform dissosiyasyonun takson negatif ve pozitif olma durumuna göre bağımlı değişkenler açısından farklılık gösterme durumu ve çocukluk çağı travmalarının yordayıcılık etkisi değerlendirilmiştir. Çocukluk çağı travmalarının yetişkinlik döneminde yaşanan psikoform dissosiyasyonu, duygusal istismarın ise amnestik dissosiyasyon, absorbsiyon ve psikoform dissosiyasyonu yordadığı bulgulanmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, söz konusu bulguların özellikle klinik örneklemli diğer araştırmalara göre farklılık gösterdiği ve çocukluk çağı travmalarının psikoform dissosiyasyon ile pozitif yönde, somatoform dissosiyasyon ile ise negatif yönde ilişki gösterdiği saptanmıştır. Bulgular, ayrıca klinik örneklemlerin yanı sıra kadın üniversite öğrencileri gibi klinik olmayan bir örneklem grubunda da çocukluk çağı travmaları ile kendine zarar verme davranışları arasında belirli düzeydeki korelasyonların önemini vurgulamaktadır.
