Abstract

Bu araştırmanın temel amacı; üniversite öğrencilerinin psikolojik yardım aramaya ilişkin damgalama düzeylerinin özyeterlik, aile bütünlük duygusu ve sosyal destekle ilişkisinin incelenmesidir. Araştırma; 2016-2017 eğitim öğretim yılı bahar döneminde öğrenim görmekte olan 520 üniversite öğrencisinin (%63.5 kadın, %36.5 erkek) katılımı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada veriler; Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Psikolojik Yardım Aramada Kendini Damgalama Ölçeği, Psikolojik Yardım Alma Nedeniyle Sosyal Damgalanma Ölçeği, Genel Özyeterlik Ölçeği, Aile Bütünlük Duygusu Ölçeği-Kısa Formu ve Çok Boyutlu Algılanan Sosyal Destek Ölçeği ile elde edilmiştir. Özyeterlik, aile bütünlük duygusu ve sosyal desteğin üniversite öğrencilerinin psikolojik yardım aramaya ilişkin kendini damgalama ve toplumsal damgalanma puanlarını yordama gücü hiyerarşik regresyon analizi ile incelenmiştir. Psikolojik yardım aramaya ilişkin kendini damgalama ve toplumsal damgalanma düzeylerinin özyeterlik algısı ve aile bütünlük duygusu tarafından anlamlı bir şekilde yordandığı, sosyal destek tarafından ise yordanmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

The Relationships Between Stigma Toward Psychological Help Seeking, Self-Efficacy, Family Sense of Coherence and Social Support

Abstract

Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships university students' stigma levels toward psychological help seeking with self-efficacy, family sense of coherence, and social support.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This study was carried out with 520 students in 2016-2017 academic year. The data used in this study was adopted from Demographic Information Form, Self-Stigma of Seeking Help Scale, Stigma Scale for Receiving Psychological Help, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Short Form of the Family Sense of Coherence Scale and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support.
Findings: Predictive power of self-efficacy, family sense of coherence, and perceived social support on self-stigma and public stigma were analyzed by hierarchical regression analysis. As a result of hierarchical regression analysis where the self-stigma and public stigma toward psychological help seeking was taken as predicted variable, it was found that self-efficacy and family sense of coherence were the significant predictors of self-stigma and public stigma toward psychological help seeking. On the other hand, it was found that sub-dimensions of social support were no significant predictors of self-stigma and public stigma toward psychological help seeking.
Highlights: When students have high self-efficacy, they may experience less self-stigma and public stigma. Support and psycho- educational groups can be arranged for students with low self-efficacy. Besides, family sense of coherence predicted university students' self-stigma and public stigma toward psychological help seeking levels. For individuals with a low family sense of coherence, psychological counselors can provide individual or group counseling.
