Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between intentions to seek help, anticipated benefits of disclosing oneself to a counselor, self-stigma of seeking psychologicalhelp,gender,age,andprevioushelpseekingexperienceamong undergraduate students. A convenience sample of 1283 students (M= 21.37, SD= 3.14) completed to Intentions to Seek Counseling Inventory, Disclosure Expectations Scale, and Self-Stigma of Seeking Help Scale. Data were examined using Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The results of this study demonstrated that gender and self-stigma of seeking help were negative predictors of intention to seek help while, anticipated benefits of disclosing of oneself to a counselor was a positive predictor of intention to seek help.

Özet

Bu araştırmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinde psikolojik yardım alma niyeti ile cinsiyet, yaş, daha önce psikolojik yardım alma durumu, bir psikolojik danışmana kendini açmaktan beklenen yarar ve psikolojik yardım alma nedeniyle kendini damgalama arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Korelasyonel bir araştırma yöntemi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen bu araştırmada, uygun örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilen 1283 üniversite öğrencisi (Ort. = 21.37, s.s. = 3.14) Psikolojik Yardım Alma Niyeti Envanteri, Kendini Açma Beklentileri Ölçeği, Psikolojik Yardım Alma Nedeniyle Kendini Damgalama Ölçeği ve Kişisel Bilgi Formunu yanıtlamıştır. Verilerin analizinde, Pearson Momentler Çarpımı Korelasyon Katsayısı analizive çoklu regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda cinsiyet ve psikolojik yardım alma nedeniyle kendini damgalamanın psikolojik yardım alma niyetinin negatif yordayıcıları olduğu, beklenen yararın ise psikolojik yardım alma niyetinin pozitif yordayıcısı olduğu bulunmuştur. Ancak, daha önce psikolojik yardım alma durumu ve yaşın psikolojik yardım alma niyetinin anlamlı yordayıcısı olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlar doğrultusunda, psikolojik danışma ve rehberlik alanında çalışan uygulayıcıların psikolojik yardım almaya ihtiyacı olan bireylere psikolojik danışma ve rehberlik hizmetlerinin olası yararlarına ilişkin farkındalık oluşturacak etkinlikler gerçekleştirmesinin yararlı olabileceği söylenebilir.
