Abstract



Giriş: Bu araştırmada, genç
erişkin psikiyatri hastalarının, ruhsal hastalık ve antidepresan ilaçlara
ilişkin bilgi ve tutumlarının araştırılması ve ilişkili etmenlerin belirlenmesi
amaçlanmıştır.



Yöntem: Araştırma, psikiyatri
polikliniğine başvuran; DSM-5 kriterlerine göre uyum bozuklukları, depresyon
ve/veya anksiyete bozukluğu tanısı alan ve araştırma kriterlerini karşılayan 81
hasta ile yürütülmüştür. Veriler, araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan sosyo¬demografik
ve klinik özelliklerine yönelik bilgi formu, antidepresan ilaç kullanımına ait
bilgi ve tutumları değerlendirmeye yönelik form ve Ruhsal Hastalığa Yönelik
İnançlar Ölçeği (RHYİÖ) kullanılarak toplandı. Olguların hastalık şiddeti, Beck
Depresyon ve Beck Anksiyete Ölçekleri ile değerlendirildi.



Bulgular:  Çalışmamızda yaş gruplarına göre toplam puan
ortalamaları 26-32 yaş grubunda daha yüksekti. Ayrıca, daha önce klinik
başvurusu olmadan psikotrop ilaca kendi başlama öyküsü bulunan hastaların utanma
alt ölçeğinin puan ortalaması daha yüksek bulundu. Majör depresyonu olan
hastalarda RHYİÖ puanlarının daha yüksek olduğu saptandı. Doğrusal regresyon
analizinde yaş, eğitim, depresyon şiddeti ve antidepresanlara karşı tutumun
RHYİÖ puanları ile ilişkili etmenler olduğu görüldü



Sonuç: Bu çalışmada bazı sosyodemografik
değişkenlerin (yaş ve eğitim düzeyi), depresyon şiddetinin ve antidepresanlara
karşı tutumun ruhsal hastalıklara yönelik inançlar üzerinde etkili olabileceği
görüldü.

Abstract

Introduction: The present
study aims to investigate a group of young adult psychiatric outpatients’
knowledge of and attitude toward mental disorder and antidepressants, and
determine the relevant factors affecting them.

Methods: The
study included 81 patients attending the psychiatric outpatient clinic,
diagnosed with adjustment disorders, depression and/or anxiety disorder based
on DSM-5 criteria, and met the research requirements. The data were collected
through an information form for sociodemographic and clinical characteristics,
a form to evaluate the knowledge of and attitudes toward the use of
antidepressants, and based on the Beliefs Toward Mental Illness Scale (BMI).
Severity of depression and anxiety was evaluated with Beck’s Depression
Inventory and Beck’s Anxiety Inventory.

Results: Regarding age
groups, individuals in the 26-32 age group had higher overall scores. The
patients with major depression were found to have higher BMI scores. The linear
regression analysis revealed that age, education, depression severity and
attitudes toward antidepressants were the factors associated with the overall
BMI scores

Conclusions: This study
suggests that some sociodemographic variables, i.e. (age and educational
statue), severity of depression and attitudes toward antidepressants are likely
influence the beliefs toward mental disorders.
