Abstract

The aim of the study is to evaluate the primary theoretical orientation of mental health workers (psychiatrist, psychologist, psychological counselor and social worker) in Turkey. The study was conducted on 1073 (572 women, 501 men) mental health workers, including 133 psychiatrists, 312 psychologists, 430 psychological counselors, and 198 social workers. Mental health workers between the ages of 22 and 73, from every city in Turkey participated in the study. Personal Information Form designed by the researchers was used as data collection tool in the study. Personal Information Form was emailed to the professionals and the data was collected online. Collected data were analyzed by frequency and percentage calculations. The findings of the study demonstrated that the primary theoretical orientation of psychiatrists and psychologists were cognitive behaviorist therapy, of psychological counselors were constructivist therapy and of social workers were system/family systems therapies. Furthermore, it was observed that the least preferred psychotherapy approach by the professionals was the multi-cultural therapy. The results of the study were discussed within the realm of the literature, and recommendations were presented for mental health workers and researchers.

Özet

Bu araştırmanın amacı Türkiye’de ruh sağlığı alanında çalışan profesyonellerin (psikiyatr, psikolog, psikolojik danışman ve sosyal hizmet uzmanı) birincil kuramsal yönelimini incelemektir. Araştırma 133’ü psikiyatr, 312’si psikolog, 430’u psikolojik danışman ve 198’i sosyal hizmet uzmanı olmak üzere toplam 1073 (572 kadın, 501erkek) ruh sağlığı alanında çalışan profesyonel üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Türkiye’nin tüm şehirlerinden ruh sağlığı çalışanının katıldığı bu araştırmada profesyonellerin yaş aralığı 22 ile 73 arasında değişmektedir. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan Kişisel Bilgi Formu kullanılmıştır. Kişisel Bilgi Formu, profesyonellere elektronik posta aracılığıyla gönderilmiş ve veriler online ortamda toplanmıştır. Toplanan veriler frekans ve yüzdelikler hesaplanarak çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda Türkiye’deki psikiyatr ve psikologların birincil kuramsal yöneliminin bilişsel davranışçı terapi, psikolojik danışmanların yapılandırmacı terapi ve sosyal hizmet uzmanlarının sistem/aile sistemleri terapisi olduğu saptanmıştır. Ayrıca, profesyoneller tarafından en az eğilim gösterilen psikoterapi yaklaşımının çok kültürlü terapi olduğu görülmüştür. Araştırmada elde edilen sonuçlar literatür çerçevesinde tartışılmış, ruh sağlığı çalışanı ve araştırmacılara önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
