Amaç: Çocuk istismarı ve ihmali olgularında ebeveynlere ilişkin özellikler çok önemlidir. Çocuğunihmal ve istismara uğramasında annenin kurum bakımında yetişmiş olmasının getirdiği olumsuzluklarıincelemeyi amaçladık.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ankara Çocuk Koruma Birimi’nde Ocak 2015-Ekim 2017 yılları arasında ihmal/istismartanısı ile izlenen 290 çocuk takip edildi. Bunlardan annesinin kurum bakımında yetişmeöyküsü olan 7 olgunun özellikleri sunulmaktadır.Bulgular: Olgularımızın dördü ihmal, ikisi fiziksel istismar, biri hem ihmal hem de fiziksel istismartanısı almıştır. Olguların dördü bir yaş ve altındadır. Annelerin çoğunun psikiyatrik sorunları olduğuve sağlıklı evlilik ilişkisi kuramadığı, babaların ise büyük kısmının cezaevinde olduğu görülmektedir.Sonuç: Bu gözlemsel çalışma ile tüm kurum bakımında yetişen anneler için çocuk istismar ve ihmaliaçısından artmış bir riskten bahsedemeyiz. Bu konuda kontrollü, karşılaştırmalı çalışmalara ihtiyaçvardır. Yeterli veri toplanmasına kadarki süreçte bu annelerin çocuklarının belli periyodlarla izlenmesiyerinde bir yaklaşım olacaktır.

Risk Factors for Child Neglect and Abuse: Mothers Growing Up in Institutional Care

Objective: Parental characteristics are very important for issues related to child abuse and neglect. We aimed to investigate the adverse effects regarding child abuse and neglect that may occur due to growing up of mothers in institutional care. Material and Methods: A total of 290 children who had been exposed to neglect / abuse and followed up by the Ankara Child Protection Unit between January 2015 and October 2017 were included. The characteristics of 7 of the 290 cases whose mothers grew up in institutional care were presented. Results: Four of our cases of were neglected, two were physical abuse cases, and one was both neglected and physically abused. Four of the cases were under 1 year old. It was detected that most of the mothers had psychiatric problems and could not have a healthy marriage relationship and most of the fathers were in prison. Conclusion: There is an increased risk of the neglect / abuse in children whose mothers grew up in institutional care. Comparative-controlled studies are needed regarding this issue. The routine follow-up of children whose mothers grew up in institutional care should be a reasonable intervention.
