Özet:

 This study aims to conduct a systematic review of the current literature examining the impacts of childhood emotional abuse CEA on mental health in adulthood. The research process involved a thorough analysis of published articles addressing the consequences of CEA on mental health in adulthood, with findings systematically synthesized based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Utilizing the PRISMA report, between October 29 and November 21, 2024, database search in PubMed, Wiley Online Library, Sage Journals, and TR Index yielded 986 research articles. Among these, 15 articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The selected studies were scrutinized based on publication year, research locale, study objectives, sample characteristics, assessment tools, and the results. The majority of studies were conducted in 2024, 2023, and 2021. The studies were conducted to examine the associations between CEA and various psychological variables related to mental health such as depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, psychotic symptoms, paranoid thoughts, suicidal ideation, emotion regulation difficulties, cognitive symptoms, social support, rumination, dissociation, early maladaptive schemas, interpersonal problems, obesity and alcohol use. The sample sizes of studies ranges from 72 to 34653 participants. The most frequently utilized measurement instruments in the studies were the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire and the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form. In the investigation of the effects of CEA on mental health in adulthood, depression emerged as the most extensively examined variable. The results of the studies underscored CEA as a significant risk factor with the potential for having long-lasting and profound impacts on individuals mental health, as well as being a crucial element in exacerbating psychological disorders. The results of the study were interpreted, and suggestions for future investigations were proposed.

 Bu araştırmanın amacı, çocukluk dönemi duygusal istismarının ÇDDİ yetişkinlikteki ruh sağlığı üzerindeki etkilerine ilişkin mevcut literatürü sistematik bir şekilde incelemektir. Araştırma sürecinde, ÇDDİnin yetişkinlikteki ruh sağlığı üzerindeki etkilerine ilişkin yayımlanan makaleler, detaylı bir şekilde taranmış ve belirli dahil etme ve hariç tutma kriterlerine göre bulgular, sistematik bir biçimde sentezlenmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunun belirlenmesinde PRISMA raporundan faydalanılmıştır. 29 Ekim-21 Kasım 2024 tarihleri arasında PubMed, Wiley Online Library, Sage Journals ve TR Dizin veri tabanlarında yapılan taramalarda 986 araştırma makalesine ulaşılmıştır. Bu makaleler arasında dahil edilme kriterlerine uygun olarak 15 makale, araştırmanın çalışma grubunu oluşturmuştur. Çalışmalar, yayımlanma yıllarına, araştırmanın yapıldığı ülkeye, araştırmanın amacına, örneklemine, ölçme araçları ve sonuçlarına göre incelenmiştir. ÇDDİnin yetişkinlikteki ruh sağlığı üzerindeki etkilerine ilişkin en çok çalışma, 2024, 2023 ve 2021 yıllarında yapılmıştır. Çalışmalar, ÇDDİ ile depresyon, anksiyete, travma sonrası stres bozukluğu, psikotik semptomlar, paranoyak düşünceler, intihar düşünceleri, duygu düzenleme güçlükleri, bilişsel semptomlar, sosyal destek, ruminasyon, dissosiyasyon, erken maladaptif şemalar, kişiler arası sorunlar, obezite ve alkol kullanımı gibi ruh sağlığıyla ilişkili çeşitli psikolojik değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri incelemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmaların örneklem büyüklükleri, 72 kişiden 34653 kişiye kadar değişmektedir. Çalışmalarda en yaygın kullanılan ölçme araçları, Çocukluk Çağı Travma Anketi ve Çocukluk Çağı Travma Anketi-Kısa Formudur. ÇDDİnin yetişkinlikteki ruh sağlığı üzerindeki etkilerinin incelenmesinde, depresyon en fazla odaklanılan değişken olmuştur. Çalışmaların sonuçları, ÇDDİnin, bireylerin ruh sağlığını uzun vadeli ve kalıcı bir şekilde etkileme potansiyeline sahip önemli bir risk unsuru ve psikolojik bozuklukların şiddetini artırıcı kritik bir etken olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Arastırmanın sonuçları, ilgili literatür ışığında tartışılmış ve gelecekteki çalışmalar için önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
