Abstract

Bu çalışmada, travmatize olmuş mağdurları temsil eden avukatlardaki ikincil travmatik stres oluşumunu yordayan değişkenler incelenmiştir. Araştırmaya son 3 ay içinde aile içi şiddet ve/veya cinsel istismar mağduru temsil etmiş olan avukatlar alınmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini 119 kadın ve 12 erkek olmak üzere toplam 131 avukat oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak Sosyodemografik Bilgi Formu, Çocukluk Çağı Olumsuz Yaşantılar Ölçeği ve İkincil Travmatik Stres Oluşumu Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Avukatlar, araştırmaya ait form ve ölçekleri, pandemi öncesi dönemde online olarak doldurmuşlardır. Araştırmaya katılan avukatların %35,1’i evlidir. Katılımcıların %73,3’ü travma ile başa çıkmaya dair bir eğitim almadığını belirtmiştir. Çalışmaya katılanların %41,2’si psikiyatrik geçmiş öyküsüne sahiptir. Katılımcıların yalnızca %5,3’ü düzenli olarak psikiyatrik ilaç kullanmaktadır. Araştırmaya katılanların %40,5’i son 3 ay içinde haftada ortalama 36-45 saat arası çalışmıştır.
Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre son 3 ayda temsil edilen aile içi şiddet mağduru sayısı, son 3 ayda temsil edilen cinsel istismar mağduru sayısı, son 3 ay içindeki haftalık ortalama çalışma saati; avukatın yaşı, travma ile başa çıkma eğitimi alması ve son 3 ay içinde temsil ettiği mağdurların sağ kalım durumunun; avukatlardaki ikincil travmatik stres oluşumu üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi bulunamamıştır.
Neticede, psikiyatrik geçmiş öyküsü, medeni durum, çocukluk çağı olumsuz yaşantıları ve son 3 ay içinde temsil edilen cinsel istismar mağdurlarının 18 yaşın altında olması, avukatlardaki ikincil travmatik stres oluşumu üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sebep olmuştur.
