“…Due to the lack of a nationwide study on sexual abuse in our country, there is no clear information about the frequency of sexual abuse. However, according to various evaluations made on samples, the frequency of sexual abuse is thought to be between 6.4-25.2% (Öncü et al, 2013;Yildirim, et al, 2013). According to UNICEF Turkey on Child Abuse and Domestic Violence the report; It was found that 3% of 1886 children between the ages of 7-18 were exposed to sexual abuse (UNICEF, 2017).…”

Sexual abuse is a global public health problem that causes many medical, legal, social and economic problems in the short and long term. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the sociodemographic characteristics and variables of our sexual abuse cases with the literature data. We retrospectively analyzed 175 cases who applied to our department for sexual abuse between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2018. It was determined that 143 of 175 cases were found under the age of 18. 91,4% of the cases in our study were female and 8,6% were male. It has been observed that victims are frequently abused by people they know. It was found that 17 of the cases were abused by their family members. It was observed that most of those who denied the incident were victims of incest. When the education status of the victims during the incident is examined; 60 (34.3%) cases were found to be at primary school level, 19 (10.9%) cases were found to be at secondary school level, 11 (6.3%) cases were found to be at high school level; It was determined that 78 of all cases (44.6%) still continue their education and 22 cases (12.6%) quit their education. Lesions were detected in the sexual examination of 45(25,7%) of 175 cases; 39 (22,3%) of these cases had acute lesions and 6 (3,4%) of these cases had chronic lesions. Pregnancy occurred in 4 of the victims. Suicide attempts of 8 (4,6%) cases were determined. As a result, sexual abuse is a problem that requires a multi-faceted approach. Common centers should be established to raise the awareness of the society, to prevent sexual abuse, and to support the victims psychologically and socially. Procedural challenges should be reduced, media support should be obtained, and primary protection activities should be organized.

“…Sigara başta olmak üzere alkol ve diğer bağımlılık yapıcı maddeler genç ve erişkinler arasında yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Özellikle çalışan çocukların işyerinde devamlı yetişkinlerle olan iletişimi ve maddi bağımsızlık duygusunun etkisi gibi nedenlerden dolayı madde bağımlılığı, sigara ve alkol kullanım oranları yaşıtlarına göre daha yüksektir (Öncü, Kurt, Esenay & Özer, 2013;Snyder & Merritt, 2014;İlhan, Demirbaş & Doğan, 2005). Öncü ve arkadaşlarının (2012) çalışmalarında çalışan gençlerin sigara ve alkol kullanma durumlarının fiziksel ve duygusal istismara uğrama olasılığını iki kat arttırdığı belirtilmektedir.…”

The study was carried out between May-June 2014 with 109 adolescents attending the vocational training center and having agreed to participate in the study.

It was determined that 80.7% of adolescents participating in the study were male, 48.6% were in 14-17 age average, and 88.1% were secondary school graduates. It was also determined that 61.5% of adolescents had intermediate income, 65.1% had social insurance, and 93.5% were pleased with working as an apprentice.

It was determined within those exposed to physical abuse that 37.5% of these were exposed to physical abuse as throwing a punch. While there was no statistical significance between exposure to physical and emotional abuse and age of adolescents (p˃0.05), a statistical significance was found with their genders (p˂0.05). It was determined that male apprentices were exposed to both physical and emotional abuse more. At the end of the study, it was detected that adolescents working as apprentices were exposed to emotional abuse more; and measures should be taken for prevention of exposure of these adolescents being in adolescence period which is a unsteady period in terms of psychological health. Özet Bu çalışmada, mesleki eğitim merkezine devam eden gençlerin iş yerinde istismara uğrama sıklığı ve etkileyen faktörlerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Araştırma; mesleki eğitim merkezine devam eden ve çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 109 genç ile Mayıs - Haziran 2014 tarihleri arasında yapıldı. Anket formu ile elde edilen veriler sayı, yüzdelik ve ki-kare testleri ile değerlendirildi. Araştırmaya katılan gençlerin %80.7 sinin erkek, %48.6’sının 14-17 yaş aralığında, %88.1’inin ortaokul mezunu oldukları belirlendi. Gençlerin %61.5’inin orta seviyede gelire sahip olduğu, %65.1’inin sosyal güvencesinin olduğu ve %93.5’inin çırak olarak çalışmaktan memnun oldukları belirlendi. Araştırmaya katılan gençlerin %38.5’inin çalıştıkları işyerlerinde duygusal istismar, %14.7’sinin fiziksel ve %2.8’inin cinsel istismara maruz kaldıkları saptandı. Duygusal istismara uğrayanların %38’inin başkasının yanında küçük düşürüldüğü, %26.9’unun küfür-bağırma ile muamele gördüğü belirlendi. Fiziksel istismara maruz kalanların %37.5’inin yumruk atılması şeklinde fiziksel istismara maruz kaldıkları belirlendi. Gençlerin fiziksel ve duygusal istismara uğrama durumları ile yaş arasında istatistiksel anlamlılık yok iken (p˃0.05) cinsiyetleri ile arasında istatistiksel anlamlılık (p˂0.05) bulundu. Erkek çırakların hem fiziksel hem de duygusal istismara daha çok maruz kaldıkları belirlendi. Çalışma sonucunda genel olarak çırak olarak çalışan gençlerin daha çok duygusal istismara maruz kaldıkları saptanmış olup ruh sağlığı açısından çalkantılı olan ergenlik dönemindeki bu gençlerin istismara uğratılmaması için önlemler alınmalıdır.
