Abstract

Objective: To determine whether number of self-reported impulsivity symptoms was associated with conduct problems, substance use, academic problems, relational problems and exposure to physical violence in adolescents. Method: A survey was developed to be used in a nationally representative general community sample. A 2-staged, stratified and clustered sampling was used. For the first stage (school selection) an equal probability, systematic random sampling and for the second stage (class selection) a simple random selection was used. The statistical analysis included the full and usable surveys obtained from 26009 students (97.5% of the invited sample). Results: After parental education, parental employment, economic status and age; presence of antisocial behaviors; substance abuse; and exposure to physical violence were controlled, presence of even one self-reported impulsivity symptom was associated with physical violence, frequent smoking, frequent alcohol use, substance use, self injurious behaviors, carrying weapons, gang membership, poor relations with others, academic failure and poor mental health. ORs increased with the number of self-reported impulsivity symptoms for several behaviors. Several other associations among conduct problems, substance use, academic failure and relational problems are also reported. Conclusions: Even one definite impulsivity symptom must be addressed since it is associated with serious behavioral and relational problems. There may be dose-response interaction between the number of definite impulsivity symptoms and behavioral and relational problems.

Özet

Ergenlerin kendilerinin bildirdiği dürtüsellik belirtilerinin sayısı ile davranım sorunları, madde kötüye kullanımı, akademik ve ilişki sorunları ve fiziksel şiddete maruz kalma arasında bir ilişkinin olup olmadığının incelenmesidir. Yöntem: Türkiye’yi yansıtan genel toplum örnekleminde kullanılmak üzere bir ölçek geliştirilmiştir. Örnekleme tekniği olarak 2 aşamalı, tabakalı, küme örneklemesi kullanılmıştır. Küme örneklemesi seçiminde birinci aşamada (okul seçimi) eşit olasılıklı sistematik rasgele; ikinci aşamada (sınıf seçimi) basit rasgele örneklem seçimi tekniği kullanılmıştır. İstatistiksel analizlerde 26.009 öğrenciden elde edilen anketler kullanılmıştır (davet edilen örneklemin %97,5’i). Bulgular: Anne baba eğitimi, iş durumu, ekonomik durum, yaş, antisosyal davranışlar, madde kullanımı ve fiziksel şiddete uğrama durumu kontrol edildikten sonra, tek bir dürtüsellik belirtisinin varlığının fiziksel şiddet uygulama, sık sigara içme, sık alkol kullanımı, madde kullanımı, kendine zarar verme davranışı, silah taşıma, çete üyeliği, ilişki sorunları, akademik başarısızlık ve gencin kendi ruhsal durumunu olumsuz görmesi riskini belirgin olarak arttırdığı saptanmıştır. Ergenlerin belirttikleri dürtüsellik belirtilerinin sayısı arttıkça risk de artmaktadır. Davranış sorunları, madde kullanımı, ilişki ve akademik sorunlar arasında da birçok ilişki saptanmıştır. Sonuç: İlişkili olduğu birçok olumsuz durum nedeniyle ergenlerin belirttikleri tek bir dürtüsellik belirtisi bile ele alınmalıdır. Davranış ve ilişki sorunları riski her bir dürtüsellik belirtisi ile artmaktadır.
