ABSTRACT
Objective: The coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic is a period of increased risks in terms of mental health. Studies carried out during the pandemic period showed that the frequency of suicidal thoughts and depression levels and domestic violence increased during a pandemic. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the frequency of exposure to physical/sexual violence by someone they know or not, depressive symptoms, and suicide risk levels. Material and Methods: A convenience sampling method was used and volunteer students participate in the study after completing the informed consent form. Data were collected from three different samples: 229 participants answered the questions during the pandemic, 212 pre-pandemic period, and 112 post-restrictions period. Participants were asked questions about their demographic information, frequency of exposure to physical and sexual violence, suicidal thoughts/plans, and depressive symptoms. Results: It was observed that students who answered the questions during the pandemic had higher depression scores and a higher frequency of exposure to violence. No significant difference was observed between the groups in terms of suicide risk. Conclusion: In this study, it could be said that there is an increase in exposure to violence and depressive symptoms among university students during the pandemic. These data, which were obtained from similar samples, indicate that support services should be provided for university students, especially regarding the risk of mental distress that may develop due to the experience of violence after the pandemic.

Keywords: COVID-19; violence; depression; suicide risk
ÖZET
Amaç: Koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 pandemisi ruh sağlığı açısından risklerin arttığı bir dönemdir. Pandemi döneminde yapılan araştırmalar, pandemi döneminde intihar düşüncelerinin sıklığının, depresyon düzeylerinin ve aile içi şiddetin arttığını göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada, üniversite öğrencilerinin tanıyıp tanımadıkları bir kişi tarafından fiziksel/cinsel şiddete maruz kalma sıklığı, depresif belirti ve intihar risk düzeylerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmada kolayda örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Gönüllü öğrenciler bilgilendirilmiş onam formunu doldurduktan sonra çalışmaya katılmıştır. Veriler üç farklı örneklemden toplanmıştır: Pandemi sırasında 229 katılımcı, pandemi öncesi dönemde 212 ve kısıtlamalar sonrasında 112 katılımcı soruları yanıtlamıştır. Katılımcılara demografik bilgileri, fiziksel ve cinsel şiddete maruz kalma sıklıkları, intihar düşünceleri ve depresif belirtileri hakkında sorular sorulmuştur. Bulgular: Pandemi döneminde soruları cevaplayan öğrencilerin depresyon puanlarının daha yüksek olduğu ve şiddete maruz kalma sıklığının daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür. İntihar riski açısından gruplar arasında anlamlı fark gözlenmemiştir. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, pandemi döneminde üniversite öğrencilerinde şiddete maruz kalma ve depresif belirtilerin arttığı söylenebilir. Benzer örneklerden elde edilen bu veriler, üniversite öğrencilerine özellikle pandemi sonrasında şiddet yaşanması nedeniyle gelişebilecek ruhsal sıkıntı riskine ilişkin destek hizmetlerinin sağlanması gerektiğini göstermektedir.
