Abstract

Purpose: In this study, it was aimed to determine cyber dating abuse in young women.
Method: The descriptive study was conducted including 228 female students studying at a state university in the 2023-2024 academic year between 05-31 January 2024. Data were collected with the Personal Information Form and the Cyber Dating Abuse Scale. Data were presented as number, percentage, mean and standard deviation. Independent Groups t test and One-Way ANOVA were used in the comparative analysis of the data.
Results: The average exposure of young women to cyber dating abuse behavior is 29.66±11.32, the average exposure to direct aggression is 12.46±4.67, and the average exposure to monitoring and control is 17.19±8.48. In addition, the average of displaying cyber dating abuse behavior is 29.63±8.78, the average of displaying direct aggression behavior is 12.07±2.25, and the average of displaying monitoring and control behavior is 17.56±7.69. Among young women, those who had previous dating experience had higher average scores on the monitoring control subscale of displaying cyber dating abuse behavior than those who did not, and the difference between the groups was significant (p <0.05).
Conclusion: In the study, it was determined that the scale scores of young women's exposure to cyber dating abuse behavior and displaying cyber dating abuse behavior were similar. Young women with previous dating experience have significantly higher monitoring and control subscale scores. In line with these findings, it can be recommended that nurses and all professionals working with young people organize training programs.

Genç Kadınlarda Siber Flört İstismarının Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma ile genç kadınlarda siber flört istismarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı türde olan çalışma 05-31 Ocak 2024 tarihleri arasında bir devlet üniversitesinin 2023-2024 öğretim yılında eğitim gören 228 kadın öğrenci dahil edilerek yapılmıştır. Veriler Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve Siber Flört İstismarı Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Veriler sayı, yüzde, ortalama ve standart sapma olarak sunulmuştur. Verilerin karşılaştırmalı analizinde Bağımsız Gruplar t testi ve Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi (One-Way Anova) kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Genç kadınların siber flört istismarı davranışına maruz kalma ortalaması 29,66±11,32, doğrudan saldırganlığa maruz kalma ortalaması 12,46±4,67, izleme kontrol maruz kalma ortalaması ise 17,19±8,48’dir. Ayrıca siber flört istismarı davranışını sergileme ortalaması 29,63±8,78, doğrudan saldırganlık davranışını sergileme ortalaması 12,07±2,25, izleme kontrol davranışını sergileme ortalaması ise 17,56±7,69’dur. Genç kadınlardan daha önce flört deneyimi olanların, olmayanlara göre siber flört istismarı davranışını sergileme izleme kontrol alt boyutu puan ortalamaları daha yüksekti ve gruplar arası fark önemli idi (p<0.05).
Sonuç: Çalışmada genç kadınların siber flört istismarı davranışına maruz kalma ve siber flört istismarı davranışını sergileme davranışlarına ait ölçek puanlarının benzer olduğu belirlenmiştir. Daha önce flört deneyimi olan genç kadınların izleme ve kontrol alt boyut puanları anlamlı ölçüde yüksektir. Bu bulgular doğrultusunda hemşirelerin ve gençlerle çalışan tüm profesyonel meslek çalışanlarının eğitim programları düzenlemesi önerilebilir.
