Publication: Şizofrenik hasta ailelerinde yapılan ruhsal eğitim gruplarının ailelerin umutsuzluk düzeylerine etkisi
Abstract
1.ÖZET Bu çalışma, yapılandırılmış bir eğitim olan “Şizofrenik Hasta Ailelerinde Ruhsal Eğitim Grupları”nın, aile üyelerinin umutsuzluk düzeyleri ve aile işlevselliklerine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla deneysel olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın evrenini, İstanbul içinde bulunan iki şizofreni derneğinin üyesi olan hasta aileleri, örneklemini ise “basit rastgele örnekleme yöntemi” ile seçilen aile üyeleri (20 kişi deney, 20 kişi kontrol) oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada sosyodemografik özellikleri belirlemek amacıyla literatür bilgileri doğrultusunda hazırlanan ve uzman görüşüne sunulan “Bilgi Formu”, eğitimin umutsuzluğa etkisini değerlendirmek için “Beck Umutsuzluk Ölçeği”, aile işlevselliğine etkisini değerlendirmek için ise “Aile Değerlendirme Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada araştırmacı tarafından deney grubuna 14 oturumluk eğitim grup çalışması biçiminde, haftada bir gün 90’ar dakikalık zaman dilimlerinde uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri bilgisayar ortamında değerlendirilmiştir. Demografik özellikler ve ailesel verilerin değerlendirilmesinde frekans dağılımı, ki-kare testi ve Fisher’s kesin ki-kare testi eğitimin etkisinin değerlendirilmesinde ise Student t testi, Paired Sample t testleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın deney ve kontrol grubundaki aile üyeleri demografik ve ailesel özellikler açısından değerlendirilmiş, aralarında anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, deney grubuna uygulanan eğitimin ailelerin umutsuzluk düzeylerine etkili olmadığı saptanmıştır. Aile işlevselliğine etkisine bakıldığında; Aile Değerlendirme Ölçeğinin alt boyutlarından problem çözme üzerine olumlu etki ettiği, deney grubu ile kontrol grubu arasında problem çözme puanı açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu bulgulanmıştır (t:-2,009 p:0,050). Sonuç olarak, eğitimin umutsuzluk üzerine etkili olmadığı fakat aile işlevselliği alt gruplarından problem çözme üzerine olumlu etki ettiği saptanmıştır. 2.
THE EFFECT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL EDUCATION OF SCHIZOPHRENIC PATIENTS’ FAMILIES ON THE HOPELESSNESS LEVEL OF THE FAMILY MEMBERS The present study was experimentally conducted to reveal the effects of a structured education program designed for the family members of schizophrenic patients “Psychological Education Groups for Families of Schizophrenic Patients” on family members’ level of hopelessnes and functionality. The population of the study was family members of schizophrenic patients that were members of two societies of schizophrenics. We sampled family members from this group with the “simple random sampling method” (20 experimental, 20 control). In order to assess the sociodemographic characteristics, we designed an “Information Form”, basing on the findings of previous literature and feedback of consultant professionals. “Beck Hopelessness Inventory” and “Family Assessment Instrument” were used to measure the effects of education on the level of hopelessness and the functionality of the family, respectively. The experiemental group received 14 sessions of group education. Each sesssion lasted 90 minute per week and included different topic on the schizophrenia and family approaches. Data were analyzed in computer. Frequency distribution, Chi-square and Fisher’s exact chi-square test were used for demographic characteristics and family variables. To analyze the effect of education, we used Student-t test and Paired Sample t-test. Results indicated that there was no statistical significant difference between experimental group and control group in terms of demographic variables and family related variables. In experimental group, there was no significant effect of education on the hopelessness level of family members. The education had positive effects on the problem solving score under the title of the family functionality in Family Assessment Instrument. There was significant difference on problem solving scores between experimental group and control group (t:-2,009 p:0,050). In conclusion, we found that education had no effect on the hopelessness of family members of schiophrenics, but, it enhanced problem solving skills under the title of family functionality.
