EVLAT EDİNMEK İÇİN BAŞVURAN BİREYLERLE BİYOLOJİK ENGELLERİ OLMAMASINA RAĞMEN ANNE BABA OLMA İSTEĞİNE SAHİP OLMAYAN BİREYLERİN BAĞLANMA ŞEKLİ, MİZAÇ ÖZELLİKLERİ, DÜRTÜSELLİK VE RUHSAL DAYANIKLILIK YÖNÜNDEN KARŞILAŞTIRILMASI
Abstract
Evlat edinme talebi olanlar ile çocuk sahibi olmayı düşünmediğini ifade eden bireyler bağlanma şekli, mizaç özellikleri, dürtüsellik ve ruhsal dayanıklılık özellikleri yönünden karşılaştırılmıştır. SBÜ Erenköy RSHH’ne “evlat edinmelerinde ruhsal açıdan sakınca bulunup bulunmadığı” sorulan 47 birey ve ebeveyn olma arzusuna sahip olmayan 46 bireyle çalışılmıştır. Katılımcılara sosyodemografik veri formu, TEMPS-A, Barratt Dürtüsellik Ölçeği Kısa Formu (BIS-11-KF), Yetişkinler İçin Psikolojik Dayanıklılık Ölçeği (YPDÖ) ve Yakın İlişkilerde Yaşantılar Envanteri–II (YIYE-II) uygulanmıştır.Evlat edinme talebi olanlarda hipertimik ; çocuk sahibi olmayı düşünmeyenlerdeyse depresif, irritabl ve anksiyöz mizaç özellikleri; evlat edinmek isteyen grupta güvenli bağlanma oranı ve ruhsal dayanıklılık puanları, çocuk sahibi olmak istemeyen grupta ise kaçınma ve kaygı oranları daha yüksekti. Evlat edinme isteği arttıkça dürtüselliğin azaldığı, ruhsal dayanıklılığınsa arttığı saptandı. Evlat edinme talebine sahip bireylerin güvenli bağlanma özellikleriyle ruhsal dayanıklılıklarının daha fazla olduğu görülmektedir. Bu hususta biyolojik, sosyal, psikolojik ve kültürel etkenlerin de değerlendirileceği çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
