İNTİHAR GİRİŞİMİ OLAN VE OLMAYAN DEPRESİFLERİN AİLE İŞLEVSELLİĞİ

İntihar davranışında ails ve aile işlevi önemli bir faktördür. Çalışmalar intihar girişiminde bulunan bireylerin aile işlevlerinin oldukça bozuk olduğuna işaret etmektedir. Bu çalışma intihar girişiminde bulunan, girişimi olmayan depreşil ve normal bireyleri, aynı zamanda ailelerini aile işlevlerini algılama açısından karşılaştırmaktadır. Aile Değerlendirme Ölçeğinin kullanıldığı çalışmada, intihar girişimi grubu, aile işlevlerini gerek depresif gerekse normal gruptan daha bozuk algılamaktadır. Üç grubun aileleri karşılaştırıldığında, aileler arası anlamlı bir farklılık bulunamamıştır. İntihar girişimi olan ve olmayan depresif ve normal bireyler diğer aile üyeleri ile karşılaştırıldığında intihar girişimi grubunda problem çözme, iletişim, duygusal tepki verme ve genel fonksiyonlar alt testleri istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır. Girişimi olmayan depreşil grup diğer aile üyelerinden anlamlı olarak duygusal tepki verme, davranış kontrolü ve genel fonksiyonlar alt testinde işlevleri bozuk algılamaktadır. Normal grupta ise diğer aile üyeleri karşılaştırıldığında alt testler açısından anlamlı bir farklılık saptanamamışt
