Özet

Amaç: Çocuk cinsel istismarı, çocukların ve ergenlerin zihinsel sağlığı ve gelişimini olumsuz yönde etkileyen halk sağlığı problemidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ergenlik çağındaki çocuklarda cinsel istismarın psikiyatrik sonuçlarını ve travmaya bağlı davranışsal ve duygusal sorunları tanımlamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: 1 Aralık 2010 ile 31 Aralık 2013 tarihleri arasında değerlendirilen 409 mağdur retrospektif arşiv çalışmasına katıldı. DSM-IV-TR kriterlerine göre çocuk ve ergen psikiyatrları tarafından konulan ve davranışsal ve duygusal sorunlar özbildirim ölçekleri ile değerlendirilmiş toplam 136 mağdur çalışmaya katıldı.Bulgular: Mağdurlarının % 86.0'ı kızdı ve % 30.1'i birden fazla cinsel istismara maruz kalmıştır. Mağdurlarının %72.1'sinde Eksen 1'de psikiyatrik tanı mevcut bulunmuştur. Kontrollerle karşılaştırıldığında, içe dönük sorunlar (p<0.001), anksiyete/depresyon (p<0.001), çökkünlük (p<0.001) ve kural bozma davranışı (p=0.002) puanlarının mağdur grubunda daha yüksek olduğu gözlenmiştir. Sonuç: Cinsel istismar sonrası ortaya çıkabilecek spesifik davranış problemlerini tanımak ve formüle etmek, daha sonraki travmaları önlemek ve psikiyatrik tedavi açısından önem taşımaktadır. Cinsel istismar mağdurlarının duygusal ve davranışsal sorunlarını anlamak için uzunlamasına çalışmalarına ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.
