The aim of this study is to determine the level of exposure to emotional violence of university students. In addition, it was also tried to identify the relationship between the emotional violence exposure level and the variables of university students' age, gender, whether they get psychological support before and after the university or not, and the school they attend. This research is a survey model research using quantitative data. The participants of this study are 701 (415 females and 286 males) university students who are studying in various departments in the academic year 2017-2018. The data of the study were collected with the "Emotional Violence Scale" developed within the scope of the research. SPSS 17 was used to analyze the quantitative data obtained. In order to analyze the data, Arithmetic Mean, Standard Deviation, t-Test, and One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used. According to the results of the analysis, it was found that the level of exposure to emotional violence of university students was low. In addition, it was concluded that male students' exposure to emotional violence was significantly higher than that of female students. It is also concluded that the students who have been exposed to emotional violence have significant differences according to the variables; age, gender, whether they get psychological support before and after the university or not.
Objective: Our aim is to determine the psychiatric outcomes of bariatric surgery among adolescent patients with obesity, a condition with high psychiatric comorbidity rates. Methods: Psychiatric evaluation of the patients includes Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Eating Attitudes Test and World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF) prior to surgery and at post-operative year. Results: Adolescent patients admitting for bariatric surgery have high rates of psychiatric comorbidities. We report significant improvement in psychological well-being of the adolescent patients following sleeve gastrectomy procedure including depression, anxiety and feeding behavior scores and quality of life. Discussion: Limited number of studies regarding the psychiatric outcomes of bariatric surgery on adolescent patients are present in the literature. Improvement in depression and quality of life scores have also been reported in previous studies, whereas, no comprehensive study on anxiety and feeding behavior scores, to our knowledge, had been performed. Therefore, our case series study is significant by demonstrating the psychiatric outcomes of bariatric surgery more thoroughly. In addition, higher reductions in BMI have been observed following sleeve gastrectomy procedure compared to the findings in the literature mostly including roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure in adults. We propose that psychiatric comorbidities of the adolescent patients should be more prominent determinant of decision making procedure for bariatric surgery.
