ADÖLESANLARA VERİLEN TEMEL İLETİŞİM EĞİTİMİNİN İLETİŞİM BECERİSİ VE BENLİK SAYGISINA ETKİSİ: YARI DENEYSEL BİR ÇALIŞMA

Öz

Ergenlik, bireylerin hızlı fiziksel, duygusal ve sosyal gelişim gösterdiği ve kimliklerinin, öz algılarının ve iletişim becerilerinin şekillendiği kritik bir yaşam evresidir. Amacımız, ergenlere verilen temel iletişim eğitiminin iletişim becerileri ve öz saygı üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır. Türkiye'deki bir lisede yarı deneysel, ön test-son test kontrol grubu tasarımı uygulandı. Katılımcılar, Osmaniye'nin Kadirli ilçesindeki Borsa İstanbul Kız Meslek ve Teknik Anadolu Lisesi'nde kayıtlı kız öğrencilerdi. 68 katılımcı dahil edildi; 34'ü kontrol grubunda ve 34'ü müdahale grubunda yer aldı. Veri toplama araçları olarak Kişisel Bilgi Formu, İletişim Becerileri Değerlendirme Ölçeği (CSES) ve Coopersmith Öz Saygı Envanteri (CSEI) kullanıldı. Müdahale grubuna, araştırmacılar tarafından uyarlanan sekiz oturumdan oluşan bir “Temel İletişim Eğitimi” programı verildi. Kontrol grubuna herhangi bir müdahale yapılmadı. Müdahale ve kontrol gruplarına ön testler ve son testler uygulandıktan sonra sonuçlar analiz edildi. Veriler SPSS 30 programı kullanılarak analiz edildi. Ön test-son test puan farklarının anlamlılığı Ki-kare testi, Kolmogorov-Smirnov testi, Shapiro-Wilk testi ve Mann-Whitney U testi kullanılarak analiz edildi. Temel iletişim eğitiminin ergenlerin iletişim becerileri üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir etkisi olduğu, ancak öz saygı düzeyleri üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi olmadığı belirlendi. Araştırma bulgularına dayanarak, ergenler arasında iletişim becerilerini geliştirmeyi ve öz saygıyı artırmayı amaçlayan eğitim programlarının genişletilmesi, okul temelli programlara entegre edilmesi ve okul sağlık hizmetleri kapsamında sistematik olarak uygulanması önerilmektedir.

THE EFFECT OF BASIC COMMUNICATION TRAINING GIVEN TO ADOLESCENTS ON COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND SELF-ESTEEM: A QUASI-EXPERIMENTAL STUDY

Öz

Adolescence is a critical life stage during which individuals experience rapid physical, emotional, and social development, and where their identity, self-perception, and communication skills are shaped. Our aim is to investigate the effect of basic communication training given to adolescents on communication skills and self-esteem. A quasi-experimental, pre-test-post-test control group design was conducted in a High School in Turkey. The participants were female students enrolled at Borsa İstanbul Girls' Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School in Kadirli district of Osmaniye. We included 68 participants; 34 in the control group and 34 in the intervention group. The Personal Information Form, Communication Skills Evaluation Scale (CSES), and Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (CSEI) were used as data collection tools. The intervention group was given a “Basic Communication Training” program consisting of eight sessions adapted by the researchers. No intervention was given to the control group. After administering pre-tests and post-tests to the intervention and control groups, the results were analyzed. Data were analyzed using SPSS 30 program. The significance of the pre-test-post-test score differences was analyzed using the Chi-square test, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Shapiro-Wilk tests, and the Mann-Whitney U test. It was determined that basic communication training had a statistically significant effect on the communication skills of adolescents, but did not have a significant effect on their self-esteem levels. Based on the research findings, it is recommended that training programs aimed at improving communication skills and increasing self-esteem among adolescents be expanded, integrated into school-based programs, and systematically implemented within the scope of school health services.
