“…Slapping and pushing were the most commonly reported forms of physical abuse (Fikree & Bhatti, 1999).The prevalence of physical IPV was reported in 20 studies (Ali et al, 2009;Ali et al, 2005;Ali, Asad et al, 2011;Ali, Mogren et al, 2011;Asif et al, 2010;Farid et al, 2008;Fikree & Bhatti, 1999;Fikree et al, 2006;Fikree et al, 2005;Kapadia et al, 2010;Karmaliani et al, 2008;Niaz et al, 2002;Rabbani et al, 2008;Shaikh, 2000Shaikh, , 2003Shaikh et al, 2008;Zareen et al, 2009). The lifetime prevalence of physical IPV, defined as experiencing physical IPV at least once during the marital period, ranged from 16%-80% with the six studies reporting a life time prevalence of physical IPV between 28%-35% Farid et al, 2008;Fikree & Bhatti, 1999;Fikree et al, 2004;Niaz et al, 2002;Shaikh, 2000).…”

“…Sexual IPV was defined and identified as non-consensual sex, forced sex or sexual coercion (Ali, Asad et al, 2011;Hussain & Khan, 2008;Shaikh, 2003;Zareen et al, 2009) forcing the woman to do something sexual that she considered degrading/humiliating (Kapadia et al, 2010), rape (Ali et al, 2009) and forced prostitution (Rabbani et al, 2008). The prevalence of sexual IPV varied between 1% and 77% is reported in six studies (Ali et al, 2009;Rabbani et al, 2008;Shaikh, 2003Shaikh, , 2000Shaikh et al, 2008;Zareen et al, 2009).…”

“…Among the 23 selected studies, only eight examined predictors or risk factors of IPV (Ali, Asad et al, 2011;Farid et al, 2008;Fikree et al, 2006;Fikree et al, 2005;Kapadia et al, 2010;Karmaliani et al, 2008;Naeem et al, 2008;Zareen et al, 2009). The findings of one study (Fikree et al, 2005) suggest that men who report having been physically abused as children are five times more likely to perpetuate physical abuse as adults, whereas men who have witnessed their fathers beating their mothers are 3.5 times more likely to physically abuse their wives (Fikree et al, 2005).…”

“…For instance, Kapadia et al (2010) note that "Women, who reported an increased level of social support, were at lower risk of sexual violence. With each one point increase in perceived social support, the risk of sexual assault decreases by 76% (95% CI 0.58-0.98)" (p.165).…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major social and public health problem affecting people in various cultures and societies. Though the issue of IPV in Pakistan has been researched since the 1990s, no attempt has been made systematically to review the available evidence on IPV in Pakistan.This article presents findings of a systematic review of available empirical literature related to IPV in Pakistan. Using various key words, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO were searched to identify relevant studies. This resulted in the identification of 55 potential studies for inclusion.After application of exclusion criteria 23 studies were identified, 20 of which used quantitative research designs, two used qualitative designs and one adopted a mixed method case study approach. All studies reported men as the perpetrators of IPV and women as its victims. Findings are presented and discussed for IPV for its forms, predictors, effects and victims' responses.Pakistani peoples' perceived reasons for and their attitudes towards IPV are also presented and discussed.

“…Literatürde, evlilik içi cinsel saldırı için, küçük yaşta evliliklerin, eğitim seviyesinin düşük olmasının önemli risk faktörleri olduğunu göstermektedir (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)22,23,25). Çalışmamızda literatür ile uyumlu olarak, olguların % 48,2'sinin 17-24 yaş grubunda oldukları, cinsel saldırının genellikle evlilik ile başladığı anlaşılmaktadır.…”

Evlilik İçi Cinsel Saldırı Olgularını Ruhsal Bulgular Olmadan Tespit Etmek Mümkün mü?

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

ÖzetAmaç: Ülkemiz hukuk siteminde eşlerin birbirlerine karşı cinsel davranışlarının suç teşkil edip edemeyeceği hususu uzun yıllar tartış-ma konusu olmuştur. 01.06.2005 tarihinde yürürlüğe giren Türk Ceza Kanunu'nu ile eşe karşı cinsel saldırı suç olarak kabul edilmiştir. Ancak Türk Ceza Kanunu'nda yapılan değişiklik ile ruhsal değerlendirmenin geri plana itildiği düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada evlilik içi cinsel saldı-rı olguları değerlendirilmesi, ruhsal bulguların öneminin anlaşılması ve sunulması amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntem: 2011-2016 yılları arasındaki 6 yıllık dönemde Eskişehir Adli Tıp Şube Müdürlüğü'ne müracaat eden, evlilik içi cinsel saldırı olguları çalışma kapsamına alındı. Ruhsal değerlendirme bulgularının önemi anlaşılmaya çalışıldı.Bulgular: 6 yılık dönemde 27 evlilik içi cinsel saldırı olgusu mü-racaat etmiştir. Mağdurların % 48,2'sinin 17-24 yaş grubunda olduğu, yalnızca 2 olgunun (% 7,4) yüksek öğrenim mezunu olduğu belirlendi. Kanun değişikliği sonrasında sadece 1 olgunun müracaat ettiği saptandı. Olguların yalnızca 9'unda (% 33,3) fizik veya genital muayene ile bulgu elde edildi Ruhsal değerlendirmeler sonucu olguların tümünde, cinsel saldırı ile ilişkili ruhsal bulgular saptandı. Ruhsal bulgular olmadan olguların 3' te 2'sinde herhangi bir delil saptanamayacağı ve dolayısıyla dava açılamayacağı tespit edildi.Sonuç: Ruhsal değerlendirme bulgularının olmadığı cinsel saldırı muayenesinin eksik olduğu saptanmıştır. Bu nedenle ilgili kanun maddesinin yeniden düzenlenmesi gerekmektedir. Ruhsal değerlendirme bulguları, cinsel saldırı için tanı koydurucu olarak kabul edilmeli ve kanun maddesinde açıkça belirtilmelidir. Tüm şehirlerde gerek çocuklar ve gerekse erişkinler için adli tıp ve psikiyatri uzmanlarının birlikte ça-lışabileceği birimler acilen kurulmalıdır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Cinsel saldırı; Türk Ceza Kanunu; Ruhsal değerlendirme. AbstractObjective: Whether spousal rape is a misconduct or not has been a controversial topic for a long time in the jurisdictional system of our country. Sexual assault against one's spouse has been declared as a criminal act by the change in the Turkish Criminal Code on 1st June 2005. However, we think that psychiatric evaluation of the victim has been ignored by the change in the related penal code in 2014. In this study our aim is to evaluate sexual assaults in marriage and understand and present the importance of psychological findings.Materials and Methods: Data of the sexual assault cases by one's spouse during the six years period between 2011 and 2016 who were evaluated by Eskişehir Office of Council of Forensic Medicine were analyzed with their psychiatric evaluation findings.Results: In 6 years 27 spousal rape victims were evaluated. Among them, 48.2 % were in the 17 to 24 years' age group. Only two (7.4 %) had a university degree. Only one case was evaluated after the Turkish Criminal Code has changed. In only 9 (%33.3) cases, findings of the assault were observed by physical and genital examination. By psychiatric evaluation, psychiatric findings relate...
