Öz:

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı erken evlendirilmeleri için çocuk ve ergen psikiyatri kliniklerine mahkeme tarafından yönlendirilen ergenlerin klinik, sosyodemografik ve fiziksel istismar ile ilişikli etmenlerini geriye dönük olarak değerlendirmektir. Yöntem: Çalışmaya 15 yaş üstü toplam 115 ergen kız çocuğu dahil edilmiştir. Sosyodemografik bilgiler görüşmeci tarafından hazırlanan bilgi formları ile elde edilmiştir. Katılımcılar ayrıca psikologlar tarafından psikometrik değerlendirmeye ve sosyal hizmet uzmanları tarafından sosyal incelemeye tabi tutulmuştur. Bulgular: Ortalama eğitim yılı 5,41±1,7 olan bu çocukların %28,7’si psikiyatrik tanı almıştır. En sık tanı konulan psikiyatrik bozukluk uyum bozukluğudur (%12,2). Evlilik süreleri ve aralarındaki yaş farkı ile psikiyatrik tanı alma arasında anlamlı bir ilişki vardı. Ayrıca eşin yaşı ve yaş farkı ve fiziksel istismar arasında anlamlı bir fark saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Erken yaşta evlenen ergenlerin özellikleri hakkında kapsamlı bilgi sahibi olmak, bu ergenlerin eğitim, bilgi ve becerilerinin gelişimini destekleyen, çeşitli psikososyal stres faktörlerine karşı koruma sağlayan erken evliliklerden kaçınma gibi sistem ve politikaların geliştirilmesine ilişkin içgörü sağlayabilir.
