Psikolojik Dayanıklılık Programının (PDP) 15 Temmuz Darbe Girişiminde Eşi Gazi Olan Kadınların Travma Sonrası Stres ve Dayanıklılık Düzeylerine Etkisi

Bu araştırma, Türkiye’deki 15 Temmuz Darbe Girişiminde eşi gazi olan kadınlara uygulanan Psikolojik Dayanıklılık Programının (PDP), travma sonrası stres ve dayanıklılık düzeylerine etkisini incelemek amacı ile yapılan yarı deneysel bir çalışmadır. Araştırmada 15 Temmuz Darbe Girişimi olayında eşi travmatik yollarla gazi olan ve bu konuda çalışan 15 Temmuz Derneğine 2016-2017 yılları arasında başvuran 28 kadına gerekli izinler alınarak ulaşılmıştır. 15 Temmuz Derneğinden ulaşılan 28 gazi eşinden, ön testlerinde yer alan Post Travmatik Stres Bozukluğu Soru Listesi Sivil Versiyonu (PTSB-SLSV) ölçeğinde ortalamadan yüksek ve Kendini Toparlama Gücü Ölçeğinde (KTGÖ) ortalamadan düşük puan alan toplam 15 kadın yer almıştır. Deney grubundaki 15 kadın, bulundukları semte göre ikiye ayrılmıştır (n=7 ve n=8). PTSB-SLSV ve KTGÖ’den alınan puanlara göre oluşturulan bu iki deney grubuna araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen 8 oturumluk, psikolojik müdahale grup programı olan PDP uygulanmıştır. Tüm katılımcılara program öncesi, sonrası ve 2,5 ay izlemede PTSB-SLSV ve KTGÖ ölçekleri uygulanmış ve programın etkisi ve kalıcılığı değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmanın veri analizinde tekrarlı ölçümler için tek yönlü ANOVA kullanılmıştır. Yapılan bu çalışma ile iki temel sonuca varılmıştır; psikolojik dayanıklılık programı kadınların travma sonrası stres düzeylerini azaltmada etkili olmuştur. Bununla birlikte bu programın, kadınların psikolojik dayanıklılık düzeylerini arttırmada etkili olduğu ve bu etkinin kalıcı olduğu görülmüştür. Araştırmanın bulguları, ilgili alanyazın doğrultusunda tartışılmış ve çeşitli öneriler sunulmuştur.
