Abstract

Objevtive: Somatization is a
psychiatric condition characterized by recurring somatic symptoms that cannot
be fully explained by the general medical condition of the individual and are
not attributable to another mental disorder. There are physical, psychological
and social factors that affect somatic symptoms of individuals. The aim of this
study is to screen somatic symptoms of patients admitted to our clinic and to
investigate the relationship between scanning results and sociodemographic and
clinical characteristics of the patients.



Methods: This cross-sectional
study included 414 participants aged 18-65 years who admitted to the …. between
February 2018 and November 2018. Sociodemographic data form and SCL90-R (Symptom Checklist 90-Revised)
psychological symptom screening test was applied to the participants through
face to face interview method.



Results: Of all the participants, 256 (61.8%) were female and
158 (38.2%) were male and the mean age was 33.7±13.6 years. Of all the
participants, 47.3% were university graduates or had a higher educational
background. The mean score of the somatization subscale of the SCL90-R
screening test was 1.0±0.6. The factors increasing the somatic symptoms were
female gender, increasing number of children, being an immigrant, decreasing
education level, increasing amount of drug use, increasing number of applications
to health institutions, and implementation of alternative medicine techniques,
presence of mental illness in families and their relatives.



Conclusion: In the present
study, the prevalence of somatic symptoms was found to be high and clinically
significant. In particular, the social position of women in Turkey, their
lifestyles, and their specific characteristics such as using body language more
are associated with high somatic symptoms. Emotional disability caused by
migrations makes individuals be at greater risk in terms of somatization. The
personality development that increases with the education level and increased
communication skills reduce the risk of somatization.  Symptoms of patients who frequently use health
care and treatment options and apply alternative medicine are more significant
in terms of somatization.

Somatik belirtilerin sosyodemografik ve klinik özellikler ile ilişkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Somatizasyon bireyin genel tıbbi durumu ile tam olarak
açıklanamayan ve başka bir ruhsal bozukluğa atfedilemeyen yineleyici bedensel
semptomlar ile karakterize psikiyatrik bir durumdur. Bireylerin somatik
belirtilerini etkileyen bedensel, ruhsal ve sosyal faktörler mevcuttur.
Çalışmamızın amacı kliniğimize başvuran hastalarda somatik belirtileri taramak
ve tarama sonuçlarının hastaların sosyodemografik ve klinik özellikleri ile
olan ilişkisini araştırmaktır.

Gereç-yöntem: Kesitsel, tanımlayıcı desende yürütülen çalışmaya
Şubat 2018-Kasım 2018 tarihleri arasında …..’ne başvuran 18-65 yaş arası 414
katılımcı dahil edildi. Katılımcılara yüz yüze görüşme metoduyla sosyodemografik
veri formu ve SCL90-R Psikolojik Belirti Tarama Testi uygulandı.

Bulgular: Katılımcıların 256’sı (%61,8) kadın, 158’i (%38,2)
erkek, yaş ortalaması 33,7±13,6, %47,3’ü fakülte ve üzeri eğitim seviyesinde
idi. SCL90-R tarama testinin somatizasyon alt ölçeğinin ortalama puanı 1,0±0,6
idi. Kadın cinsiyet, çocuk sayısının artması, göç etmiş olmak, eğitim
seviyesinin azalması, ilaç kullanım miktarının artması, sağlık kuruluşlarına
başvurma sayısının artması, alternatif tıp tekniklerini uygulamak, aile ve
akrabalarında ruhsal hastalık varlığı somatik belirtileri arttırıyordu.







Sonuç: Çalışmamızda somatik belirti yaygınlığı yüksek ve klinik
önem gösterir düzeyde saptanmıştır. Özellikle toplumumuzdaki kadınların sosyal
konumları, yaşam tarzları ve beden dilini daha çok kullanmaları gibi özgül
özellikleri somatik belirtilerin yüksek olması ile bağlantılıdır. Göçlerin
bireylerde yarattığı duygusal engellilik göçmenleri somatizasyon açısından daha
riskli kılmaktadır. Eğitim seviyesinin artması ile gelişen kişilik yapısı ve
artan iletişim yetisi bireyin somatizasyon riskini azaltır. Sağlık hizmetleri
ve tedavi seçeneklerini sık kullanan, alternatif tıp yöntemlerini uygulayan
hastaların semptomları somatizasyon açısından daha anlamlıdır.
