Abstract

Patients with stuttering often encounter embarrassing, disappointing, prohibitive and often traumatic negative life events leading to speech problems since childhood period. It is widely accepted that traumatic life events cause dissociative experiences. In this study it was aimed to investigate traumatic life events and dissociative experiences of young adult patients with stuttering. Twenty eight male patients at a mean age of 20.8 years (between 19 to 22) with chronic and persistent developmental stuttering and 43 healthy men at a mean age of 20.6 years (between 19 to 22) with similar demographics were included in the study. Dissociative Experiences Scale and the Trauma History Test were administered to all subjects. In contrast to our expectations, dissociative experiences in the cases of stuttering did not differ from the control group. However, the incidence of experiencing a general disaster or trauma in stuttering cases was higher than that of not experiencing these events. These results show that patients with stuttering have dissociative experiences with a severity similar to those of healthy individuals.

Özet

Kekeme hastalar çocukluk dönemlerinden itibaren konuşma sorunlarına neden olan utandırıcı, hayal kırıklığına uğratıcı, engelleyici ve genellikle de travmatik olan olumsuz yaşam olaylarıyla sık karşılaşmaktadır. Travmatik yaşantıların dissosiyatif yaşantılara neden olduğu kabul görmektedir. Bu çalışmada, genç erişkin kekeme hastalardaki travmatik yaşam olaylarının ve dissosiyatif yaşantılarının araştırılması amaçlandı. Çalışmaya süreğen ve inatçı gelişimsel kekemeliği olan ortalama 20.8 yaşında (19-22 arası) 28 erkek hasta ve onlar ile benzer özelliklere sahip ortalama 20.6 yaşında (20-23 arası) 43 sağlıklı erkek alındı. Tüm deneklere Dissosiyatif Yaşantılar Ölçeği ve Travma Öyküsü Ölçeği uygulandı. Beklentimizin tersine, kekeme olgulardaki dissosiyatif yaşantıların kontrol grubundan farklılık göstermediği bulundu. Bununla birlikte, kekeme olgularda genel bir felaket veya travma yaşama sıklığı, yaşamama olasılığına göre daha yüksek saptandı. Bu sonuçlar, kekeme olguların sağlıklı bireylere benzer şiddette dissosiyatif yaşantılara sahip olduğunu göstermektedir.
