Abstract:

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the characteristics of the abuse and pregnancy of pregnant children as a result of sexual abuse and the extent of mental influence. In the study, 111 children under the age of 18 who have been pregnant and sexually abused in the course of 6 years have been examined to the Faculty of Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine. The average age of first pregnancy in children is 14,51,3 (11-17) years. In 41.4 percent of the victims, threats, fraud, fraud or forced abuse occurred and in 68.5 percent, abuse repeated, 13.5 percent of the children were pregnant as a result of abuse by one of the family members, about half of the pregnant children were born, and about half of the born children were in separate institution care, and 3 children were adopted. As a result of abuse, it has been found that half of pregnant children develop mental pathology due to the incident in which they live; threat/threatening, repeated abuse and the presence of ensest are a risk factor for mental pathology. Conclusion: Pregnant children who are victims of abuse are exposed to long-term and permanent effects not only in terms of physical and mental health, but also in social areas such as dropping out of education and becoming economically dependent. Therefore, it should be taken into consideration that these negative effects can be prevented by applying emergency contraception in sexual abuse victims who apply in the acute period. In victims who apply after the acute period, it should be investigated early whether there is a pregnancy or not, and existing pregnancies should be terminated under appropriate conditions if requested. Additionally, these children should be monitored for rehabilitation of mental pathologies.
