Özet:

 Our study aimed to examine the sociodemographic, clinical characteristics and psychopathy levels of the cases evaluated regarding criminal responsibility in the forensic psychiatry outpatient clinic. Persons referred to the Eskisehir Osmangazi University Health Practice and Research Hospital, Department of Psychiatry, Forensic Psychiatry outpatient clinic between 16.03.2022 and 02.12.2022 to be evaluated for criminal responsibility were included in the study. Sociodemographic and clinical data form and Revised Hare Psychopathy Scale were applied. 75 cases with full criminal responsibility, 6 with partially reduced criminal responsibility, and 20 with no criminal responsibility were compared. The group with full criminal responsibility had the highest psychopathy level mean14.00, χ²18.817 df2 p0.001. When all participants were evaluated n111, psychopathy scores were found to be higher in males p0.001, smokers p0.004, substance users p0.001, self-mutilators p0.001, and those with a history of suicide attempt p0.001., and in those who denied the crime p0.010. The psychopathy level was higher in cases with full criminal responsibility than in other groups. The level of psychopathy is associated with adverse mental health outcomes. Therefore, forensic psychiatric evaluations may be an appropriate opportunity for preventive mental health interventions to reduce harm.

 Çalışmamızda adli psikiyatri polikliniğinde ceza sorumluluğu açısından değerlendirilen olguların sosyodemografik, klinik özelliklerinin ve psikopati düzeylerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi Sağlık Uygulama ve Araştırma Hastanesi Psikiyatri Anabilim Dalı Adli Psikiyatri polikliniğinde 16.03.2022 ve 02.12.2022 tarihleri arasında ceza sorumluluğu değerlendirilmek üzere yönlendirilen kişiler çalışmaya dâhil edilmiştir. Sosyodemografik ve klinik veri formu ile Revize Hare Psikopati Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Ceza sorumluluğu tam olan 75 olgu, ceza sorumluluğu kısmen azalmış olan 6 olgu ve ceza sorumluluğu yok kararı verilen 20 olgu karşılaştırılmıştır. Ceza sorumluluğu tam olan grup en yüksek psikopati düzeyine sahiptir 14.00, χ²18.817 df2 p0.001. Tüm katılımcılar değerlendirildiğinde n111 psikopati skorlarının erkeklerde p0.001, sigara içenlerde p0.004, madde kullananlarda p0.001, self mutilasyon yapanlarda p0.001, özkıyım girişimi öyküsü olanlardap0.001, suçu reddedenlerde p0.010 daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. Ceza sorumluluğu tam olan olgularda psikopati düzeyi diğer gruplardan daha yüksek saptanmıştır. Psikopati düzeyi olumsuz ruh sağlığı çıktıları ile ilişkilidir. Adli psikiyatrik değerlendirmeler zarar azaltma amaçlı koruyucu ruh sağlığı müdahaleleri açısından uygun bir fırsat olabilir.
