Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine psychiatric patients' childhood happiness memories and self-acceptance in terms of various variables. Methods: This descriptive-relational study was conducted with 133 patients who were hospitalized in psychiatric hospital between March 2024-June 2024. The research data were collected with the personal information form, the Early Memories of Warmth and Safeness Scale and the Unconditional Self-Acceptance Scale. Data analysis used descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Spearman Correlation analysis and basic linear regression analysis. Results: The total mean score of the Early Memories of Warmth and Safeness Scale was 67.83±24.43, the total mean score of the Unconditional Self-Acceptance Scale was 73.05±11.20. The Unconditional Self-Acceptance Scale scores were higher among those who are employed and among those with a disease duration of nine years or less. It was found that gender, education, and working status were predicted childhood memories. Conclusion: Individualized psychosocial interventions that consider gender, education level, duration of disease, and working status are recommended to support patients' childhood happiness memories and unconditional self-acceptance.

Özet

Amaç: Psikiyatri hastalarının çocukluk dönemi mutluluk anıları ile kendini kabul düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi çeşitli demografik değişkenler açısından incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı-ilişkisel tipteki araştırma Mart 2024-Haziran 2024 tarihleri arasında bir psikiyatri hastanesinde tedavi gören 133 hasta ile yürütülmüştür. Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Çocukluk Dönemi Mutluluk/Huzur Anıları Ölçeği (ÇDMHAÖ) ve Koşulsuz Kendini Kabul Ölçeği (KKKÖ) verilerinin elde edilmesinde kullanılmıştır. Veriler, tanımlayıcı istatistikler, One Way ANOVA, bağımsız gruplar t-testi, Spearman Korelasyon analizi ve basit doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Hastaların, ÇDMHAÖ toplam puan ortalaması 67.83±24.43 ve KKKÖ toplam puan ortalaması 73.05±11.20’dir. KKKÖ puanları çalışanlar ile hastalık süresi dokuz yıl ve altı olanlarda daha yüksektir. Cinsiyet, eğitim ve çalışma durumunun çocukluk dönemi mutluluk anılarının yordayıcısı olduğu bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Hastaların çocukluk dönemi mutluluk anılarını ve koşulsuz kendini kabullerini desteklemek amacıyla, cinsiyet, eğitim düzeyi, hastalık süresi ve çalışma durumunu dikkate alan bireyselleştirilmiş psikososyal müdahaleler önerilmektedir.
