Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate risky behaviors among university students and to reveal the rela- tionship between risky behaviors, impulsivity and childhood abuse. Methods: Participants of this research were 1102 university students (740 women and 362 men) who attended state or foundation universities at Turkey’s 24 different cities in 2012-2013 educational year. In this study, ‘Demographic Information Form’, ‘Childhood Abuse Experience Scale (CAES)’, which collects information about abuse experiences before the age of 18, ‘Barratt Impul- sivity Scale (BIS-11)’, which measures impulsivity and ‘Risky Behaviors Questionnaire’, which identifies habituation and frequency of risky behaviors that were applied. Results: Male university students tend to engage in risky behaviors more than female university students do, except not using condom in one-night stand. A positive and strong correlation was found between CAES and BIS-11 scores. CAES and BIS-11 scores were also significantly different between participants who reported risky behavior and who did not. Conclusion: Impulsivity and risky behaviors which are observed among young people lead to individual and communal problems. Risky behaviors and impulsivity are long term effects of childhood abuse, so this situation shows the requirement of putting on _emphasis on prevention and intervention programs about childhood abuse. Furthermore, impulsivity, which is con- sidered to be a serious risk factor, and risky behavior oriented protective programs should be employed. <

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencileri arasında riskli davranışları belirlemek ve riskli davranışlar, dürtüsellik ve çocukluk çağı istismarı arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktır. Yöntem: Araştırmanın çalışma grubu 2012-2013 öğretim yılında 24 farklı ildeki devlet ve vakıf üniversitelerinde okuyan 740’ı kadın, 362’si erkek toplam 1102 üniversite öğrencisidir. Araştırmada, ‘Demografik Bilgi Formu’, 18 yaşından önceki örselenme yaşantılarını tarayan ‘Çocukluk Çağı Örselenme Yaşantıları Ölçeği (ÇÖYÖ)’, dürtüselliği ölçmek için kullanılan ‘Barratt Dürtüsellik Ölçeği (BDÖ-11)’ ve araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan riskli davranışlarda bulunma durumunu belirleyen ‘Riskli Davranışlar Soru Formu’ uygulanm ıştır. Bulgular: Erkeklerin tek gecelik ilişkide prezervatif kullanmama dışında diğer riskli davranışları kadınlardan daha fazla gerçekleştirdikleri saptanm ıştır. ÇÖYÖ ile BDÖ-11 puanları arasında yüksek düzeyde ve pozitif yönde ilişki saptanm ış, riskli davranışlarda bulunanlarla bulunmayanların ÇÖYÖ ve BDÖ-11 puanları arasında da anlamlı düzeyde farklılık belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Gençler arasında görülen dürtüsellik ve riskli davranışlar bireysel ve toplumsal temelli önemli sorunlara yol açmaktadır. Dürtüsellik ve riskli davranışların çocukluk çağı istismarının uzun dönemdeki etkilerinden olması, çocuk istismarına yönelik önleme ve müdahale programlarına ağırlık verilmesi gerektiğini göstermektedir. Ayrıca gençler arsında ciddi bir risk etkeni olan dürtüsellik ve riskli davranışlara yönelik koruyucu programlar devreye sokulmalıdır.
