Türkiye’de 18- 25 Yaş Grubu Üniversite Öğrencileri Arasında Görülen Depresyonun; Benlik Saygısı, Aile Bağlılığı, Akademik Başarı ve Cinsiyet ile Olan İlişkisi ve Depresyonda Olan Bu Öğrencilerin Süresi Sınırlı Psikodinamik Psikoterapi ile Tedavisi

Bu çalışma üniversite öğrencilerinin benlik saygısı, aile bağlılığı ve akademik başarısının depresyon üzerinde ilişkisini araştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Küresel Bilgi çağımızda üniversite öğrencileri; aile, okul gibi birçok problemle karşı karşıya kalmaktadır. Bazı öğrenciler bu problemlerin üstesinden gelirken, bazı öğrenciler bu problemlerle baş edememektedir. Yaşanılan olumsuz koşullar birçok öğrenciyi depresyon gibi ruhsal hastalıklara itmektedir. Bu araştırmada, öğrencilerin depresyonda olmasına neden olan değişkenler üzerinde çalışılmıştır. Araştırmaya Türkiye’nin farklı üniversitelerinden 81’i kız 74’ü erkek, toplamda 155 öğrenci katılmıştır. (Yaş Mean: 21.69) Çalışmada; Beck Depresyon Envanteri, IPPA Aile ve Akran Bağlılığı Testi, son olarak Rosenberg’in Benlik Algısı testi uygulanmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda Depresyon ile Anne” iletişim-özgüven”, ve Baba “Yabancılaşma” arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuş, ardından benlik saygısının depresyon üzerinde ki negatif anlamlı ilişkisi ile bu ilişki anlamını yitirmiştir. Depresyon, benlik saygısı ile (- ,407)’lik negatif kuvvetli ve anlamlı ilişki içindedir. Depresyon kız öğrencilerde daha fazla rastlanmış olup Depresyonun akademik başarı ile ilişkisi irdelendiğinde ise hiçbir bulguya rastlanmamıştır. Depresyonda olan iki öğrenciye kısa süreli psikodinamik psikoterapi yapılmıştır. Bu bağlamda bulgular, depresyonun aile bağlılığı, benlik saygısı ve cinsiyet ile ilişkisi üzerinde tartışılmıştır.

A Study of the Association of Depression with Self-Esteem, Family Cohesion, Academic Success, and Gender among University Students Aged 18-25 in Turkey, and TimeLimited Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with These Depressed Students

This study investigated the relations of depression with students’ self -esteem, family attachment and academic performence. In the Information age, university students face with different problems regarding their family and school. Although some students can overcome these problems, some others cannot cope with them. Adverse conditions which many students experienced can cause mental ilnessess, such as depression. In this project, variables which lead to depression among students were examined. A total of 155 volunteers; 81 female and 74 male from different universities of Turkey were participated in the study (Mean age:21,69). In this project, Beck depression Inventory, IPPA Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment and The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) were applied, respectively. The results of analysis supported the relation of mother ‘dialog- self esteem’ and father ‘alienation’ with depression, but then this relation has lost its meaning with the findings of negative significant correlation between self-esteem and depression. The results showed that depression has a strong negative relationship with self-esteem (correlation coefficient of - ,407). No correlation was found between depression and academic achievement. The findings were discussed based on the relationship of family attachment, self-esteem, and gender with depression.
