Abstract

The association between childhood maltreatment and later mental health problems, especially adult depression, has been widely studied in the literature. The long-term effects of childhood maltreatment have encouraged investigators to examine possible factors and mechanisms explaining this relationship. Studies investigating genetic and nervous, endocrine and immune systems-related factors explaining the link between childhood adversity and adult depression reported significant results. However, findings of studies examining childhood maltreatment and adult depression relationship should be evaluated carefully before taking actions on them due to a number of limitations. This paper documented some of these methodological issues briefly: concerns about definition and terms used for maltreatment, generalizability of results, uncontrolled factors, unreturned data, multiple maltreatment types and assessment of maltreatment. Findings of research on long-term effects of maltreatment are promising to offer new research directions as well as development of strategies to help individuals with early maltreatment history and depression in adulthood. Future studies should take methodological concerns into consideration and try to overcome related limitations.

Özet

Çocuklukta yaşanılan istismar ve yetişkinlikteki zihin sağlığı problemleri, özellikle depresyon, alanyazında oldukça fazla çalışılmış bir konudur. Çocuk istismarının uzun vadeli sonuçları araştırmacıları bu ilişkiyi açıklayan olası faktör ve mekanizmaları incelemeye teşvik etmiştir. Çocukluktaki kötü yaşantılar ve yetişkin depresyonu arasındaki bağlantıyı açıklamaya çalışan genetik, sinir sistemi, endokrin sistem ve bağışıklık sistemi ile ilişkili faktörleri inceleyen araştırmalardan anlamlı sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Ancak, konu ile ilgili çalışmalardan elde edilen bulgular bir takım kısıtlılıklar sebebiyle eylem planlarına dahil edilmeden önce dikkatle değerlendirilmelidir. Bu makalede söz konusu yöntemsel meselelerden bazıları ele alınmakta ve çocukluktaki istismar yaşantıları için kullanılan tanım ve terimlere, çalışma sonuçlarının genellenebilirliğine, kontrol edilmeyen faktörlere, geri dönüt alınamayan verilere, istismarın çoklu türlerine ve ölçümüne yönelik endişelere yer verilmektedir. İstismarın uzun vadeli etkileri hakkındaki araştırmalardan elde edilen sonuçlar yeni araştırma fikirlerinin yanında erken istismar geçmişi bulunan ve depresyonu olan yetişkinlere yardım etmek için yeni stratejiler geliştirilmesine katkıda bulunmaktadır. Gelecekteki çalışmalar yöntemsel endişeleri dikkate almalı ve ilgili kısıtlılıkların üstesinden gelmeye çalışmalıdır.
