Year 2018, Volume: 10 Issue: 1, 7 - 12, 28.03.2018

Abstract

Introduction: This study determined the prevalence of child abuse in first year medical
students in a Turkish university using the ICAST-R, as well as the
relationships between sociodemographic data and abuse.



Materials&Methods: First-year medical
students in a Turkish university were surveyed between 15th-30th June 2012,
using ISPCAN Child Abuse Screening Tool-Retrospective
Version (ICAST-R) and a questionnaire to collect
sociodemographic data. Data analysis was performed with SPSS 15.0.



Results: The study
included 192 students, 56.8% female and 43.2% male. Physical, emotional and
sexual abuse were found in 14.6%; 32.3%; and 8.9% of participants,
respectively. No significant relation between gender and emotional abuse was
found (p= 0.775), whereas both physical and sexual abuse were more common in
males (p= 0.04; p= 0.018 respectively). There was a statistically significant
relation between emotional abuse and parental separation (p= 0,014)
.



Conclusion: Abuse is not rare among
the medical student participants, and several preventable factors could worsen
it. The findings have implications on how medical students are taught about
these issues.

Abstract

Giriş: Bu
çalışma CAST-R kullanılarak Türkiye’deki bir üniversitenin  tıp fakültesi birinci sınıf öğrencilerinin çocukluk
dönemi  istismar prevalansının yanı sıra istismar
ile sosyodemografik veriler arasındaki ilişkinin   belirlenmesini amaçlamaktadır.

Gereç
ve Yöntem:
Tıp
fakültesi birinci sınıf öğrencilerine 15-30 Haziran 2012 tarihleri arasında ISPCAN Child Abuse Screening Tool-Retrospective
Version (ICAST-R) ve sosyodemografik verileri toplamak için
anket uygulandı.
Veri
analizi SPSS 15.0 ile gerçekleştirildi.

Bulgular:
Çalışmaya
%56.8’sı kadın 
ve  %43.2’si erkek olan 192
öğrenci katılmıştır. Fiziksel, duygusal ve cinsel istismar sıklığı sırasıyla %
14.6; % 32.3; ve % 8.9 bulunmuştur. Fiziksel ve cinsel istismar erkeklerde daha
sık olmasına (sırasıyla; p=0.04; p=0.018) rağmen cinsiyet ile duygusal istismar
arasında anlamlı ilişki saptanmamıştır (p=0.775). Ebeveynlerin ayrı olması ile
duygusal istismar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişkj saptanmıştır(p=
0,014).

Sonuç: Tıp fakültesi öğrencilerinde istismar nadir değildir ve birkaç
önlenebilir faktör durumu daha da kötüleştirebilir.
