Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine the presence, patterns and related factors of spouse violence among 25-49 years old men.

Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted in the Esentepe Health Centre district which is affiliated to the Konak District Health Directorate. The study group was composed of 2,615 married men, aged between 25 to 49 years. It was planned to reach a group size of 254 participants that would be selected by systematic sampling.The dependent variable was the presence of violence and this was defined by the Revised Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS). Independent variables were sociodemographic variables of man and wife and features of marriage, family, health conditions and sexual activity Chi-square test, t test and logistic regression were used for statistical analyses.

Results: The frequency of psychological, economic, physical and sexual violence toward wife was estimated to be 93%, 34.4%, 37.5% and 3.9%, respectively. Associated factors for physical violence determined by a logistic regression analysis were unemployment or irregular employment, alcohol consumption, daily or several times per week, presence of an undesired pregnancy and the age of the woman between 25-34 years.

Conclusion: The results of the study showed that psychological abuse was more frequent than expected. One third of the men apply economic and physical abuse against their spouse. Sexual abuse was considered to be higher than the low level recorded.

Evli erkeklerde eşlerine yönelik şiddet ve ilişkili etmenler

Year 2012, Volume: 10 Issue: 3, 151 - 159, 28.12.2012

Abstract

Amaç: Araştırmanın amacı 25-49 yaş arası evli erkeklerde eşlerine yönelik şiddet uygulama durumunun, türlerinin ve etkileyen etmenlerin belirlenmesidir.

Yöntem: Kesitsel tipteki çalışmanın evreni, İzmir’in Konak İlçesi’nde bulunan Esentepe Sağlık Ocağı Bölgesi’nde yaşayan 25-49 yaş arası 2615 evli erkektir. Sistematik örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen 254 kişiye ulaşılmıştır. Bağımlı değişken olan şiddet varlığı “Yeniden Gözden Geçirilen Çatışma Taktikleri Ölçeği” (The Revised Conflict Tactics Scales=CTS 2) ile belirlenmiştir. Bağımsız değişkenler erkeğe ve eşine ilişkin sosyodemografik değişkenler, evliliğe ve aileye, sağlık durumuna, cinsel yaşama ilişkin özelliklerdir. Veri t Testi, Ki-kare, Lojistik Regresyon Analizi ile çözümlenmiştir.

Bulgular: Eşe yönelik psikolojik şiddet sıklığı %93, fiziksel şiddet %37.5, ekonomik şiddet %34.4, cinsel şiddet %3.9 olarak saptanmıştır. Psikolojik şiddete maruziyet, ortaokul ve üzeri öğrenimli kadınlarda anlamlı olarak daha fazladır. Erkeklerin işsiz olması ya da düzensiz işlerde çalışması, haftada birkaç kez ya da her gün alkol kullanması, istenmeyen gebelik varlığı, kadının 25-34 yaş grubunda olması fiziksel şiddette belirleyici etmenler olarak saptanmıştır.

Sonuç: Eşleri tarafından kadına yönelik olarak uygulanan psikolojik şiddet sıklığı beklenenden çok yüksek bulunmuştur. Üç erkekten biri ekonomik ve fiziksel şiddet uygulamaktadır. Cinsel şiddet düşük saptanmasına karşın sorunun daha büyük boyutlarda olabileceği düşünülmektedir.
