Özet

Giriş: Travma Sonrası Stres Bozukluğu (TSSB), yani posttravmatik zorluk sonrası bozulma, tüm dünyada ruh sağlığı profesyonelleri tarafından araştırılan en önemli konulardan biridir. Amaçlar: Bu makalede, Kuzey Kıbrıs'ta (KK) TSSB'nin 2017 ulusal hanehalkı araştırmasının sonuçları sunulmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Kuzey Kore hanelerinde depresyonun yaygınlığını ve risk faktörlerini belirlemektir. Yöntem: Araştırma, Nisan-Haziran 2017 tarihleri ​​arasında Kuzey Kıbrıs'ta kalıcı olarak yaşayan 18-88 yaş arasındaki Türkçe konuşan bireylerden oluşan örneklem arasında yapılmıştır. Ankette çok aşamalı tabakalı (rastgele) bir kota kullanılmış ve 2011 nüfus sayımına göre 978 kişi seçilmiştir. Demografik Bilgi Formu, Travmatik Olaylar Listesi ve Travmatik Stres Belirti Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: KK için TSSB yaygınlığı %19 olarak belirtildi. Kadın olmak, dul olmak, işsiz olmak, ev hanımı olmak, fiziksel bir hastalığı olmak, psikiyatrik bir hastalığı olmak, fiziksel bir hastalıkla tedavi görmek, bir Yunan mülkünde yaşamak, bekar ya da akraba ile yaşamak bu çalışmada TSSB için risk faktörleri olarak tanımlanmıştır. Sonuç: Dünya prevalansını düşündüğümüzde, KK, dünyadaki diğer çatışma sonrası bölgelere benzer şekilde daha yüksek TSSB prevalansına sahiptir. KK, savaş, göç ve kolonizasyon tarihi, yüksek işsizlik oranları, sosyoekonomik sorunlar gibi, diğer yüksek prevalans TSSB ülke ve bölgelerine benzer çevresel ve sosyo-kültürel özelliklere sahiptir ve bu da sosyo-kültürel faktörlerin yaşam üzerindeki öneminin güçlü bir göstergesidir.
