Abstract

Sigara Kullanan ve Kullanmayan Ergen Bireylerde Psikolojik Belirti Şiddetlerinin Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, sigara kullanan ve kullanmayan ergenlerde psikolojik belirti şiddetlerinin karşılaştırılması, ve ergenlerde nikotin bağımlılık şiddeti ile psikolojik belirti şiddeti arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Araştırmanın örneklemini, İstanbul’daki bir lise okulunda eğitimine devam eden 14-18 yaş arası 230 lise öğrencisi oluşturdu. Her bir öğrenci bir sosyodemografik veri formu ile beraber Fagerstrom Nikotin Bağımlılık Testi ve SCL 90-R Psikolojik Belirti Tarama Testi’ni doldurdu. Katılımcıların 36.5%’i (n=84) sigara kullanıyordu. Sigara kullanan 84 öğrencinin 18.8%’i (n=42) düşük bağımlı, 11.7%’si (n=27) orta derece bağımlı, 6.5%’i (n=15) şiddetli bağımlı idi. Sigara kullanan öğrencilerin somatizasyon, obsesif-kompulsif, depresyon, anksiyete, düşmanlık, paranoid düşünce ve pbimokizm alt boyut skorları kullanmayanlara göre istatistiksel olarak yüksek saptandı. Öğrencilerin Fagerstrom Nikotin Bağımlılık testi skorları ile somatizasyon, düşmanlık ve pbimokizm alt boyut skorları arasında orta düzeyde güçlü bir ilişki saptanırken; Fagerstrom Nikotin Bağımlılık testi skorları ile obsesif-kompulsif, depresyon, anksiyete ve paranoid düşünce arasında zayıf düzeyde bir ilişki saptandı. Bulgularımıza göre, sigara kullanan ergenlerde psikolojik belirti şiddetleri daha yüksektir ve ergenlerde yüksek nikotin bağımlılık şiddeti yüksek psikolojik belirti şiddetleri ile ilişkilidir.
The aim of the present study is to compare the severity of psychological symptoms in adolescents who smoke and do not smoke, and to examine the relationship between nicotine addiction severity and psychological symptoms severities in adolescents. The sample of the study consisted of 230 high school students between the ages of 14 and 18 who were continuing their education at a high school. Each student completed the Fagerstrom Nicotine Dependence Test and the SCL 90-R Psychological Symptom Screening Test, along with a sociodemographic data form. 36.5% (n=84) of the participants were smokers. Of the 84 students who smoked, and 18.8% (n=42) were low addicted, 11.7% (n=27) were moderately addicted, and 6.5% (n=15) were severely addicted. The somatization, obsessive-compulsive, depression, anxiety, hostility, paranoid ideation, and psychoticism subscale scores of adolescents who smoke were found to be statistically higher than those who did not smoke. While a moderately strong relationship was found between the students' Fagerstrom Nicotine Dependence Test scores and somatization, hostility and psychoticism subscale scores; a weak relationship was found between Fagerstrom Nicotine Dependence test scores and obsessive-compulsive, depression, anxiety and paranoid ideation in the students. According to our findings, psychological symptoms severities is higher in adolescents who smoke, and high nicotine addiction severity in adolescents is associated with high psychological symptom severities.
