Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma kendine zarar verme davranışı olan ergenlerde çocukluk çağı örselenme yaşantıları ile duygu düzenleme becerileri arasındaki ilişkilerin incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Yöntem: Kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı tipteki araştırmanın örneklemini Kocaeli Üniversitesi Çocuk ve Ergen Ruh Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı Polikliniğinde tedavi görmekte olan 12-17 yaş arasındaki, 48 olgu grubu ve 48 kontrol grubu olmak üzere toplamda 96 katılımcı oluşturmaktadır. Katılımcılara ait veriler, sosyodemografik veri formu, kendine zarar verme davranışı değerlendirme envanteri, duygu düzenleme güçlüğü ölçeği ve çocukluk çağı örselenme yaşantıları ölçeği aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. İlgili veriler SPSS 21 paket programıyla analiz edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Çalışmanın sonucunda kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında olgu grubundaki katılımcıların, istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı derecede daha fazla duygu düzenleme güçlüğü yaşadığı ve çocukluk çağında daha fazla örselenme yaşantısına maruz kaldığı sonuçları elde edilmiştir (p<,05). Aynı şekilde çocukluk çağı örselenme yaşantıları, duygu düzenleme becerileri ve kendine zarar verme davranışının ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur.
Sonuç: Çocukluk döneminde deneyimlenen örselenme yaşantılarının ergenlerin duygu düzenleme becerileri üzerinde olumsuz etkilerinin olduğu bu durumun da kendine zarar verme davranışını yordadığı bulunmuştur. Ergenlerde kendine zarar verme davranışının önlenmesi için erken çocukluk döneminde maruz kalınan ihmal ve istismar yaşantılarının önüne geçilmesi önerilmektedir.

Non- Suicidal Self Injury, Childhood Maltreatment Experiences and Emotion Regulation Skills in Adolescents: A Case-control Study

Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted to examine the relationships between childhood traumatic experiences and emotion regulation skills in adolescents with non-suicidal self-injury.
Method: Method: The sample of the cross-sectional and descriptive study consists of a total of 96 participants, 48 in the case group and 48 in the control group, between the ages of 12-17, who are receiving treatment at Kocaeli University Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Department Polyclinic. Participants' data were collected through sociodemographic data form, non-suicidal self-injury inventory, emotion regulation difficulty scale, and childhood traumatic experiences scale. Related data were analysed with the SPSS 21 package program.
Results: As a result of the study, it was concluded that the participants in the case group had significantly more difficulty in emotion regulation and were exposed to more trauma experiences in childhood compared to the control group (p<.05). Likewise, childhood traumatic experiences, emotion regulation skills and non-suicidal self-injury were found to be related.
Conclusion: It has been found that traumatic experiences in childhood have negative effects on the emotion regulation skills of adolescents, and this situation predicts non-suicidal self-injury. To prevent self-harming behavior in adolescents, prevention of neglect and abuse experiences in early childhood is needed.
