Violence among high school students in Malatya: A prevalence study

Öz:

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, Malatya’da lise öğrencileri arasında okulda şiddet ile ilgili davranışları olanların sıklığını saptamak ve şiddet ile ilgili faktörleri belirlemektir. Yöntem ve gereç: Bu kesitsel tanımlayıcı çalışmada 1175 öğrenci içeren küme örnekleme yöntemi kullanıldı. Potansiyel risk faktörleri ve şiddet ile ilgili davranışlar arasındaki mevcut bağımsız değişkenleri belirlemek amacıyla Backward lojistik regresyon analizi yapıldı. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin % 24,5’i fiziksel bir kavgaya karışmıştı, % 5,5’i bir doktor veya hemşire tarafından tedavi edilmesi gerekecek şekilde yaralanmıştı ve % 4,3’ü okul alanında araştırmadan önceki 12 ay boyunca üzerinde bir silah taşımıştı. Öğrencilerin % 4,7’si bir çete üyesi olduğunu bildirmişti. Sonuç: Erkek olmak, çete üyeliği, şiddete maruz kalmış olmak, aile geliri, okul sınıfı ve okul türü; şiddeti tahmin edici faktörlerdir. Risk altındaki öğrenciler için şiddet nedenleri ve çözüme yönelik daha ileri çalışmalar yapılmalıdır.

Aim: To determine the prevalence of violence-related behaviors on school property and to identify the predictors of youth violence among high school adolescents in Malatya. Materials and methods: Using a cluster sampling method, a cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out involving 1175 students. Backward logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the independent association existing between the potential risk factors and violence-related behaviors. Results: Of the students, 24.5% had been in a physical fight, 5.5% were injured and had to be treated by a doctor or nurse, and 4.3% had carried a weapon on school property during the 12 months preceding the survey. Of the students, 4.7% reported that they were a gang member. Conclusion: Male sex, gang membership, exposure to violence, family income, grade, and school type were predictors of violence-related behaviors. Further quantitative studies are recommended to examine the causes of and solutions for violence for students at risk.
